“Shh! Shhh!!!” Jervis demanded, pressing a finger against her red lips. He hunched his shoulders around his neck. Already shorter than her, this action made him look so much smaller. “Don’t you hear it!?” He demanded, eyes widened in terror. “The sharp, pointed heals that are going click-clack-click-clack!” He flinched like he heard it again before quickly moving around Harley so that he was hiding behind her, his arms wrapping around her waist from behind. He pressed his face against her back and let out a shuddering breath. “She’s here! She’s there! She’s everywhere! And so I ask you take me before she takes me back!”
Harley opened her mouth wide and bit down on Jervis’s finger, but not hard enough to puncture the skin. It would teach him a lesson about trying to shush her when she was in the middle of talking about something important, though. “Uhh, I think that’s probably Pam walkin’ on the lino in the other room,” she told him, one eyebrow raised. “She likes ta wear heels, an’ they look really hot on her, so y’know.” When Jervis moved behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, she felt a little bit sorry for him. She knew what it was like to believe in your own delusions. “Who, Jervis? Who’re ya scared of?” she asked. “Nobody can hurt ya here. I’ve got the hyenas downstairs, an’ Pam can kill someone in seconds.”
