So we meet again... (closed)

[Michael Blackwood-Hardt]

Michael tugged lightly on Dare's hand and took a couple of steps to the door. His movements and panic were catching up on him and he wanted to go and lay down, and to make Dare lay with him. Or, even better, force Dare to run and get that potion and then lay with him. He paused at the door to look back at Markise and Ariel's retreating back.

[Dare Blackwood-Hardt]

Dare looked at Markise then, seeing him surreal after everything that had happened, everything that was still happening. Markise hadn't been there last time, or at the least, Dare hadn't included him. He couldn't say a word, but his eyes thanked Markise for understanding. Then he turned away and went with Michael back to the other room.

[Markise Sterling]

Markise saw that look, but it didn't help at all knowing that leaving Dare alone was the right thing to do. He wanted Dare to need him. He tried not to think of that as he closed the door and turned the lock. He turned his mind to Ariel and trying to understand anything that had happened in the last 24 hours or so. He tugged the tie of his cloak free and laid it over the back of the lone chair in the room, then set himself to undressing. A shower sounded pretty good right now.
