seattle ; tuesday
Sam had walked all the way back to his house after waking up completely lost yesterday. He still had no memory of what had happened and that was scaring him. But, he'd made it back after multiple people had offered him help and some food. He didn't know how he must have looked to them if they were offering him food and shelter and water.
But, he turned down each offer and kept walking. By the time he ended up back at the estate, his feet were bloody and sore, his stomach was growling and he was dirty and tired. It hadn't been a good day. There was fear clawing at him, deep inside his belly but he was ignoring it.
He stared at the door in front of him, almost not wanting to open it. He knew his friends would be on the other side, possibly angry, possibly scared and he wasn't sure if he wanted or even had the ability to face that down right now.
He needed help. He really did and he knew it. Maybe he could sneak in, pack a bag and leave. That's what it was coming too. He was going to have to leave and either find his uncle or...find Douglas.
Sam shuddered and turned the knob so he could slip inside the house. He'd shower, pack a bag quickly and leave.
[NFB again but open for interactions, if needed]

"Can we see him?" Brid asked, glancing at the door.
"If you'd like but perhaps do it one at a time," Miss LaCroix said. "Don't overwhelm him. He knows what he attempted to do was wrong."
Brid didn't wait any longer and took the first turn, leaving Miss LaCroix with the three others.

All of this was stupid and hard and for a few seconds she wondered if she shouldn't just go.

"It's been awhile, Natalie," she said, nodding. "Are you all right?"
no subject
Nah, she was just the one with a mass of guilt and other assorted feelings all in a clump inside her.

With that, she nodded at the group and headed for the kitchen downstairs.

Because that always worked oh so well.
She was quiet for a moment, then noted, "Well, at least I can't hear Brid yelling at him."

As he was saying that, Brid came out of the room, wiping at her eyes a bit. She looked at the group once before pushing past and heading downstairs as well.

She hesitated for a second before asking, "Either of you dying to go next?"

Frank nodded his agreement to that.

She closed the door behind herself.

Maybe he was embarrassed or scared or worried. He didn't know.

But she retook her previous place on the edge of his bed. Watching him. "Hey."

"You don't have to be here," he mumbled quietly. "You can go back to your life."

"Yeah, well I don't have anything for you," Sam said, rubbing his eyes with his free hand. "I still don't want to just be your friend and I still think I should leave. Nothing's changed."
