Anni does what she can do best - playing dumb. "I'm sorry?" She tilts her head, looking questioningly at the policeman. She grips Lucas' hand tighter, determined not to let this ruin everything.
Annika nods slowly, her eyes a little glazed. She's exhausted. "Yep. Come on, get all your stuff." She grabs her suitcase and backpack and smiles gently at Lucas, offering him her hand to help him up. When they're on the platform she breathes deeply, feeling safer than before, now that the...
"We'll eat on the train, then." She rubs his shoulder as comfortingly as she can, peering round at the people in the station. Thank God she didn't recognise any of them. She didn't very much fancy having to explain why the two of them were there. "Come on, now. The train'll be here in...
As she steers him into the station she puts her arm round him and rubs his shoulder gently. "Hey, don't worry. It's alright. Nobody's looking at you." She says it gently, shushing him. "We've got a few minutes. Do you want coffee? Or something to eat?"
She bites her lip hard, taking the newspaper from him and scanning it quickly. Her face blanches, but aside from that she looks as confident as ever. "Don't worry about it. There's no picture. Thank god they never wanted to remember us." She chuckles weakly and drags him on. The train stat...
"It's just-- a normal train. I guess." She smiles at him, turning quickly to thank the receptionist. She leads them both outside, tucking her coat more tightly round herself. "Keep warm. I don't want you getting ill." She says it softly, smiling at Lucas. She leads him down the r...
Once she's fully packed she takes a deep breath, turning to Lucas. She smiles gently at him, taking his outstretched hand and squeezing it gently. "Come on then." She leads him out of the grungy room, locking the door behind them. She's still exhausted and her fingers fumble with the keys....
She jerks awake, though her mind stays foggy. "Huh?" She glances at her watch, and after a second or two it sinks in and she sits bolt upright. "Thanks for waking me up. We need to get going just about-- now." She jumps up, throwing on the clothes she'd laid out for herself. She ...
She, too, holds him tightly, like she used to when he was a kid. She drifts off after a few minutes, but her hold doesn't loosen. Again she falls into oblivion, her breathing slowing down and becoming deeper. Even Lucas' mumbling isn't enough to wake her up. She's well gone.
"Lie down a bit. Even if you don't sleep." She smiles gently at him, pushing a handful of hair away from her face. Her eyes are slightly unfocussed, and it's clear how exhausted she is. She extends an arm, inviting him for a hug. Maybe it would help...
"Come here." She said it softly, jerking her head to beckon him over. It was partly selfish, as she was nice and warm and didn't really want to get out of bed. As well as that she was terribly tired. She gave him a gentle smile, trying to assure him it was alright, and that she wasn't angr...
Annika had fallen into complete oblivion, not even dreaming. So it was with a horrible wrenching feeling that she woke up, peering puffy-eyed at her pacing brother. She sat up slightly, resting on her elbows. "Lucas..." She didn't even know what to say, because there was nothing she could ...
Annika peered at her brother out of one eye, making sure he was really asleep before she got up. She quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth before returning to her bed and slipping between the sheets. Like her brother, she too falls asleep within seconds.
"You are tired. You've been tired for weeks. We're safe." Annika had started to go past the point of trying to be reassuring. She was annoyed, irritated, and she just wanted a decent night's sleep. They were safe and she knew it. Nonetheless, she got up. "I'll put a chair in front of ...
Annika stopped nibbling the pizza and closed the box, nibbling at her lower lip. She hated it when Lucas got like this. "Hey..." She went over to him, sitting down beside him and stretching an arm round his shoulders. "We're safe here." She glanced at the door almost instinctivel...
@Youngblood Prince, I'd noticed that too and wasn't sure whether to point it out, I have her as Andreja on my character page but I guess as the gif was from when she still went by Andrej, it's a pretty easy mistake to make.
"Um--" She cut off her words suddenly, freezing for a moment before taking control of herself. In all honesty she had no idea where they were headed, but she couldn't let Lucas know that. "I thought we could head further north. Furthest away is better, really." She opened her own...
