093: Accidental Video Post

[livingmyths]

[[After directing Harry as to where to find Thomas, Rain had done as Thomas and 'Mana had asked and gone deep into the woods to hide. She tucked herself away in a hollow beside a rock, half burying herself in leaves, unaware that her Network device had begun broadcasting from on top of her backpack where she'd left it, letting anyone who cared to watch Rain as the exhaustion and fear of the past two days caught up with her and she slowly drifted into sleep.

It continued to broadcast as she slept, catching her restlessness and occasional murmurings throughout the night.]]

She stirred, murmuring again as her eyes fluttered open.

Someone here?

[prodigalvampire]

You're device is on, hun.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

She sat up quickly, skittering back against the rock in fear, before relaxing as she realized the voice was Thomas'.

Thomas? Are you okay? Did Harry save you?

[prodigalvampire]

Yeah. Harry saved me.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Good. I'm glad.

Tony was going to rescue 'Mana.

[prodigalvampire]

Big guy? Metal suit? Lots of guns?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

That's Iron Man.

[prodigalvampire]

Then I'm pretty sure he got her.

You still hiding in the woods?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Yes. Just like I said I would.

[prodigalvampire]

Well, everything in the square has disappeared as mysteriously as it appeared, so it should be fine.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Okay.

M'too tired to try and find my home right now, though. And hungry. Really really hungry.

[prodigalvampire]

You should head home, then. Tired can wait. Hungry cannot.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't be the first time I've gone to bed really really hungry.

[prodigalvampire]

Rain...

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

What, Thomas?

[prodigalvampire]

You have to reason to go to bed hungry.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Except that I'm really really really far from my home and it's dark and I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyes open.

[prodigalvampire]

You're impossible.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

*sigh*

It would make you happier if I tried to find my way home in the dark just so you wouldn't have to worry about me being hungry?

I can if you really want me to, I guess.

[prodigalvampire]

No, it's fine. Sleep. I was smiling.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'm really very comfortable here.

It's nicer than lots of the places I slept back home.

Besides... home's lonely.

[prodigalvampire]

Why is home lonely? What about Mat?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Mat's not there now. He has to help a friend for a while.

[prodigalvampire]

I'm sorry to hear that...that came out wrong.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?
