Saturn saw the others were getting calm, so she shrank further into the hole in her tree, not wanting to ruin it for them. They were just calm, not noticing her absence only a few feet from and above them. She saw everyone noticed everyone but her. Why would Scott bring her back just to be ignored again? It felt like somone was ripping her heart to shreds on purpose, only keeping her there to torture her.
Blaike took her hands off her head and smiled softly to him. She put her hand on his shoulder. "It's okay. Honest. They aren't used to the idea of being free yet. They aren't used to having to rely on people. We're used to counting on each other, but they, they've never had that." She said softly. "All in due time." She smiled. "You look exhausted dear, you sure you don't want to try and rest? I'm really not tired. And if you show the first signs of a horrible dream, I'll wake you up. Promise." She crossed her heart, and let out a soft laugh.
Saturn was... tortured inside. She wanted to comfort someone without being yelled at and to be comforted. She stared down at Theo and Zemmie,Blaik and Kit...they got along without problems. Scott was stomping around. She didn't want to go over to him, for fear that he would yell and sneer at her again.
Zemmie sighed. "Theo, you don't get this. I understand it all, I really do. I'm not you, I don't know exactly what you feel, but I understand you. So I'm offering to be your friend. I'm offering to give you a chance to experience love, friendship. Because no one else will let you. You're not different. You're just.. uhh... You haven't yet exposed yourself to the world to see. So I'll help you!"
"I'm...." Flattered is the word you want, Thea put in helpfully. "flattered, that you actually want to get to know me. Gumpy ol' me," he added with a slight smile. It was so much easier to be silent and watchful, he wailed. Shush. You'll get used to it. "But I'm warning you, a word to anyone that I've gone soft, and it's over." Perhaps he was able to tease in the world outside his head too.

"If he dies, then it will be God's will."
"If that was meant to be comforting, it was not."
"Everyone dies eventually. Once you are born, you begin to die."
"That was not comforting either!"
"It is the way of the Creed. Usually our deaths are violent but quick."
Scott flew up into the air and looked at everyone from a sky view. He rubbed his eyes and ran a hand through his hair. He knew that Kit was angry, but he didn't care right now. He saw Saturn in a tree. He wanted to smiled but he couldn't. He was too angry. He ripped a strip of bark from a tree and snapped it into lots of little pieces. He felt tears again. He just wanted a friend.

Kit smiled with appriciation at his friend. "Thanks Commander. Youre an angel you know that?" He laughed for a moment and stretched out on the ground. "I hope we find Max soon. If she know we exisist maybe she will accept us and think of is as her family as well." Kit turned on to his side and yawned. His wings draped over his shoulders as he fell in to a sleep. THe nightmares came back but with a vengence this time. The images that flashed in his mind were that of his young childhood. Dodging bullets and navigating mazes. Kits shivered in his sleep and fel the headaches pound away at his mind. Why wouldnt it just stop? He opened his mouth again in a silent scream as the tears flowed from his eyes.
Ic: Scott sat a good ways away from everyone. He didn't care that he had ruined people's lives. He had done that before. He hit his head against a tree again, softly this time. He had no intention on not being able to fly away tomorrow early and drop himself from a great height. He scratched his head. He wasn't going to kill himself. He hated being alone. Theo didn't know that there were different kinds of alone. He had a bad case of depression, that was for sure.
