faintheartedphantom:
The first thing Davin noticed, aside from the room’s decor, was the fact that Kit wasn’t in it. Or, she was? Maybe? His mind grasped for possibilities as he gawked at the person on the bed, almost completely drowning out Gav and Kineta’s banter. Was Kit trying out a new look or something? It was unmistakably her, but also wasn’t her at all, and it made him feel incredibly uneasy.
When the person spoke it was even stranger. He’d never heard Kit string even a few words together let alone whole sentences, but as they continued it began to make sense, at least sort of.
“Waw…” Dav repeated quietly, his brow twisting with a combination of concern and confusion. His first thought was to call this as an elaborate joke, but none of them would use one of the other kids as part of a gag like that. “How did this… like… even happen? Where is your body? And how did you end up in Kit’s?” He had a million other questions, but where to even start? Things like this just didn’t happen. He had to look to Gav to make sure he wasn’t the only one losing his mind.
Gavin’s face was decidedly serious as he listened to Waw explain. It was certainly a subject that was difficult to understand.
“I don’t know. I can’t really answer any of that.” they confessed, with a clear look of disappointment at themself. “We both got hit by something when we were running away. She wasn’t moving, and I tried to get over to her. Then... I don’t know. The next thing I remember is waking up in that forest as Kit, and seeing... him.”
“Tsade...” Kineta added, sadly. “Wait, our Tsade? He was there too?” Gavin asked, speaking up for the first time in this conversation. “Yes...” “What happened exactly? Why do you two sound like him being alive is a bad thing?”
“It isn’t that, it’s...” “We got out of the Battle Chateau alright, but Kineta thought she saw somebody suspicious and tailed him into the woods. It turned out to be Tsade, but he’s been with... these people called Hiens for the last ten years. I’m pretty sure they’re the people that were behind Infinity in the first place...” Kineta nodded in agreement. “Tsade wasn’t like how we knew him at all. He was... aggressive. He wanted to take us back with him to rejoin Infinity.”
