6th Royal loss

[solarhussyalert]

[First the Prince got droned, her brother didn't even know he was her brother. This put Lym in a dark mood, but when the next day Lyon also was acting the same weird way her mood worsened. She was moving in a slow way and it looks like she cried herself to sleep the next morning as she left the house]

Action 1 - Home to School

[Lym is going to school, not because its interesting, but more because being around Drone Lyon feels like she was kicked in the teeth. That being said she's just sort of shuffling there not paying much attention. If she bumps into someone, she just stares at her feet and moves around them before continuing on in a mechanical fashion.]

Action 2 - School

[Are you in the elementary school? Do you have a class with Lym? Maybe you teach one, who knows. But at the beginning of every class she asks if anyone knows anything about attaching a rune, then is generally quiet and sulky through the class before continuing her depressed shuffle to the next one.]

Action 3 - Park

[Its late and Lym hasn't gone home. She's really just sat in a swing not swinging since she saw a few drones on the way home from school. She's probably not going to be moving at this rate either but she looks utterly miserable]

Oh, runes are hard to work...

But you don't have to stop caring. You just need to be strong and maybe take a day to try to forget about it, and then you just go back to being strong and you can make everything better.

I don't know. Brother's rune is gone and....

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

I can't do anything here. I'm just a queen with no country. I have one rune, but it makes whoever wears it a monster and that's it. I'm just 12 other than that.

You have to keep holding faith, miss. I know it's hard, but wouldn't that be what he wanted you to do?

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

...I don't know. Last time he started a rebellion to save me but I could at least hear about it.

[kinship]

That shows he is strong and determined, right? He wouldn't want you to give up so easily.

[She just shrinks into her chair looking about as tiny as she can]

But what can I do?

[kinship]

...Why not start with a smile, hm?

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Cause it'd be a lie.

[kinship]

Giving up won't help anyone, though.

[She just lays her head on the desk]

...

[kinship]

[Privately, he thinks she is behaving pathetically, but his smile is compassionate as he touches her shoulder.]

Come on, now, don't give up.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Giving up would be smiling. I just need to think of something.

[kinship]

If they have only been droned a few days, they're likely to recover on their own.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

No. Brother's rune is gone. When your things vanish I was told you are truly gone.

[kinship]

Has everything else he owns gone too?

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

[She nods]

[kinship]

I'm very sorry.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[kinship]

If there is anything I can do, please just say the word.

And I'm a country without people. [Not necessarily true, as she does have a few. And by 'a few' she means 'three, tops.' It's meant more as a way to try to connect to the other than anything else.]

That doesn't mean I'm giving up. You don't need your runes or anything to get through, trust me on that.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

I'm just tired of being helpless. Its always been that way.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Thank you... I think I just need some time. Or something. I really don't know.

[welljustwatchme.livejournal.com]

Then keep your head up and prove you're not helpless.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

And.... Do... What?
