she'd smile back before standing, pushing off of the couch. for once, she didn't stumble. she seemed... good today despite how sad and horrible she felt yesterday.
" let's make enough of everything for everyone. . . show them a taste of home? then we can eat alone in my room. "
❛ ooo, dinner sounds good ! ❜
Tala hopped off the couch , stretching a bit before glancing down at the other . Smile as bright as ever.

" this is how bad it can get. . . "
raising the pain to the level it got with her powers on sent her to a near unbearable level of pain causing her to let go after seconds of that level of pain. her palm went to rub against her outer thigh, eyes closing as the pain faded.
Relaxing into the couch as she started her power , to send him pain . Feeling that baseline was manageable .
He started to understand how it worked for her , the more still she is the better it becomes . The more movement she produces the worse the pain is . It wasn’t too

she'd carefully reach out, a hand resting on his wrist. her eyes would glow as her powers were used, her pain amplifying some as the other felt a baseline of the pain running through her.
it was a bad sharp pain that worsened when she moved but dulled some when she stayed still.
there's a smile and she nodded, watching the other settle down next to her, " . . . would you like to feel what i feel right now? "
it was asked softly, her gaze looking over the other slowly now, " i won't blame you if you don't, i figured it'd make us... closer if you did. "
" . . . are you saying you care for me? " wyn would question, slowly moving to settle back on the couch. talking seemed to get her mind off the pain just enough.
her gaze looked down at her lap, giving a small smile to herself, " come sit. . . don't worry, i won't bite you. "
giving a smile in return, gently nudging the other with her shoulder, " hey, cutie. . . doing anything fun or can i steal you? "
" i'm not. . . intruding, right? " looking from prowler to hazal. she wasn't scared but prowler looked rather upset, " i'm. . . alive, i suppose. "
there's a soft laugh, " i don't know if that's the answer you're looking for though. "
smile weakly returned. prowler isn’t very excited about her ‘intrusion,’ however.
“ i figured as much. how are you .ᐣ ”

" there's nothing you can do for me. . . unless you want to feel it with me. "
there's a knowing look before her gaze looked away, " i can handle the pain alone. you don't have to try to make me feel better or. . . try to fix me. it's the treatment, it's... killing me too. "
" i thought it would get better when i left my room and came down here when i got out of bed, " soft breaths throughout words and a shake of her head when they finished, " it got worse and now i can barely focus or move. "
her gaze reopened to look at him, " i'm okay. "
her gaze moved to look at him, instantly recognizing the voice. after a second, eyes shut as she tried to steady her breathing but the pain was so bad.
" . . . it's normal — it'll pass. "
neither do i. . . i'm typically the one being bitten. though, i'm used to pain, it doesn't even phase me anymore.

" you'd be surprised how well i can keep secrets. . . and lies, " she'd murmur before replacing her sad tone with a smile, her gaze moving to linger on his features for a second.
it felt like her heart skipped a beat as she forced herself to look away, " come on in. "
. . . pain in general can be romantic. besides, i know a lot of people who like to bite. i can't judge that.

she tried her best to keep her breath under control but it seemed like nothing she did helped.
" exotic flowers? that sounds beautiful. " a smile on her lips as she glanced back at them, " i'd love to see your collections sometime as well. "
