[KQ] There Must be Something Inside

SUNJATA

the flood

i lost all the air in my lungs to the screamin'
i lost all the love in my heart to the demons

The only one that takes his offer is Peter, and the Flood’s head tilts toward his friend as the Ascended shifts closer, reaching for his hand. Sunjata offers it willingly, trying to still himself in a way that doesn’t make this more than it needs to be. And luckily for him? It works for the most part. The only notable difference is the sharp inhale of breath, the flush to the Attuned’s skin, and the way he shifts awkwardly from where he crouches. Luckily for Sunjata, though, Wessex opens the door and Sunjata’s peering down into the dark without much of a second thought.

“Shall we?” He rumbles through a low voice, swallowing against the reaction to the bite, before he abandons it all and shifts into his bat shift, and he flies down through the door into the space beneath, hovering to avoid touching any of the walls and a possible slime trail down the tunnel, looking for a safe place to land, hopefully on one of his group mates.

Sunjata tries to regain composure from Peter’s bite and when Wessex opens the door, he shifts to his bat shift and goes into the tunnel and hovers so he doesn’t touch any walls and any possible trailing slime to land on Peter’s shoulder when he comes through.

i lost all the things that i used to believe in
i lost everything for no goddamn reason
