Anger flooded through her, like threadfall filling her veins as Indivara fled the Sands, her mind a whirl of thoughts that the girl wasn’t sure how to prioritise; wasn’t sure which ones to think and which ones to bury with the trove of other things she refused to think. Her vision was blurry with tears, but Indivara couldn’t tell which of the multitude of emotions they sprung from. She truly was happy for her friend! But she was also angry, and there were so many other emotions warring for attention in between. She was confused, and she was afraid – and Indivara was never afraid, and she never cried and those thoughts just made her angrier as she shoved past a younger weyrbrat, sending the kid sprawling as she continued her mad dash for safety.
Blood Sucker watched the child go sprawling from Indivara’s wild shove, and the blue firelizard, unable to assist his distraught human in that moment, opted to clear her path. There were not many people out and about – most were still on the sands – but the firelizard was desperate to do something to try and make his human feel better, and at least that was something he could do! As a result, Blood reached the entrance to the bathing house first, and winked between to get passed the door, making sure the area was clear just before Indivara burst through, almost slamming the door into her firelizard, who squawked in surprise. The door swung shut behind them as Indivara dashed without thought toward her favourite room, and inside.
The girl slammed the door, and shoved the bolt across all in the same move, and one that resulted in the door bouncing slightly as the lock prevented it from closing properly. Indivara, who was throwing herself over a small bucket in one corner, was oblivious. Waist length dark hair was jerked out of her face as Indivara lost what little control she had had over her unhappy stomach, knees gripping the bucket while one hand held her hair and the other was braced against the floor before her; her toes peeked out from under her butt, her weight folded forward onto her knees.
Indivara groaned miserably under her breath, before leaning back, wiping her mouth with one sleeve and cautiously releasing her hair as she shoved the bucket away. Crawling away, the girl collapsed in the corner of the room, mostly hidden out of sight of the door by the bathtub that occupied the majority of the small room. Finger combing her hair harshly out of her face, Indivara wiped angrily at the tear tracks on her face, ignoring the ones still trying to fall and drew her knees up. Her arms wrapped around them, and she buried her face as Blood Sucker landed on the edge of the tub, and crooned anxiously.
