A E A I talked to God to no avail
Said, "If you won't save me, please don't waste my time." The night was a blur of swaying lights. Electrical lights and strange luminescent plants traded place with pale stars, and turned i to the comforting orange glow of firelight. Maea floated, drifting on currents in a semi conscious state, carried by someone when her own legs failed to support her weight. Breathing was painful, a process of careful sips and enduring the need to draw breath, lest greed enduced another fit of coughs. Time was impossible to keep track of, slippery as a mud-coated Magna, and nothing of what went on around her made sense.
She barely noticed when the cool night air was changed into the soothing calm of the infirmary, where the scent of herbs and clean linen whispered promises of help and comfort... and she needed both right now. Her body had never been strong, and now that it was ravaged by poison, the flame of her candle burned hot and fast, threatening to bring her closer to Ludo than she had planned on this early in life. A sinking sensation, and cool sheets rose up to support her back. Around her there was a connection of others being brought inside, but though her thoughts lingered in the darkness beneath the Spire, om Roana and Lucas, and Jigano, Amalia and Rory who had gone down after them... though she wanted to ask if they were alright, Maea couldn't speak. She was dying. Slowly, but surely. |

Something was going on at the Spire. Emmett had been going back and forth since he'd joined in with Rory's cause, wishing he could stay but needing to care for the farm and his siblings. The Spire needed protecting, yes, but he couldn't put his life on hold. But on this night, when there was such a great noise and rumbling across the land...he couldn't not go and see. Chris and Milly left in the hands of a neighbour who wanted none of this business with the Spire and Outlanders, thank you very much, he ran down to the Spire. When he got there it was chaos, people yelling all kinds of different things about people gone in, about deaths and injuries and-- Through it all, he suddenly saw Maea's strikingly pale figure collapse by the door of the Spire. For the moment an anger and confusion rose in him. Why had she gone in there? He'd thought they were of a similar kind of thought, that she was smart enough to not try this, but...she was hurt, and he had to help. Could ask questions later. Easily he knelt to take her in his arms, muscles long trained by farm work cradling the woman as he ran to the infirmary, barely even considering the route as his focus was on the frail body in his arms. "It'll be alright, Maea." He kept saying, partly to convince himself. Finally he got her to the infirmary, could lay her down on the bed and share the responsibility with someone else. "I dunno what happened. She jus'...she came outta the Spire." Emmett

Emmett, after he said his piece, had gone back to quietly watching Maea, looking but not really seeing. Really he was trapped in his mind, thinking please not another one -- Vervain's question made him jump at the sound of his name. "I uh...I'm fine, yeah." If Vervain was observant she would notice a slight sway in his step, a smell of alcohol on his breath...but physically he was not injured. He had been nowhere near the Spire when it had all happened after all, far too wrapped up in his own personal chaos to begin to interact with the swirling never-ending complexities of the current happenings. For a while it had been a solace from his own life, but now it was just a distraction. "...Is..is Maea gonna be okay? D'ya need anythin'? I can go get it. Anythin'." Desperation clear in his eyes, he leaned forward with an intensity he hadn't found in himself very often. Emmett

"Oh..uh...okay." It wasn't quite the action he'd wanted to leap into, but it was hard to say no to taking a seat when his legs were quite so wobbly. Emmett stumbled back into the seat, feeling some guilt for pushing a pregnant woman from her chair but figuring she was going to need to work, sat back and tried to breathe slowly, regulate the woozyness in his head. He sat up when Maea spoke but only shook his head and shrugged at Vervain. "I...I dunno. I didn' go into the Spire, and there's a lotta stuff going on back there. I..dunno who was with her and who wasn'. Maea, who were you with?" Emmett

Maea insisted that there were others, but most of the names meant nothing to Emmett. Probably Outlanders he didn't know, he reasoned. Just the kinds of people he'd been so passionate about stopping from getting to the Spire just days ago..but now, it appeared his angst had just been a spurt of anger from his breakdown, because the only emotion he could summon was a crushing apathetic defeat which made him lower his head to his hands. "I don' think it went wrong." He mumbled, shaking his head. Emmett wasn't sure what the rumbles had meant, what the strange feeling of something going on in his veins came to, but... "Somethin's happened. I can just tell." Emmett
