|| The Death of a Bachelor || Panic! At the Disco ||
Echo was curled up on the bed, a husk of who she once was. So strong and resilient and now she couldn't meet anyone's eyes. She couldn't so much as sit up right now, for she was far too dizzy. Hawk sat beside her, stroking her hair in silence while Melody and Doll whispered in the corner. Wei wanted to do the procedure tomorrow, to fix Echo's shunt. They turned off the feed, she wouldn't be allowed food or water until after the surgery. The patients had all been safely moved to the East Tower and were in various shades of disarray sedation. "Fine!" Melody stormed out, going to find Flame. Doll sighed and slumped against the door, Christopher was with Sonata and Doll had come to check on Echo, who was mid panicked fit, Hawk attempting to comfort her.
"You probably shouldn't fight in here," Hawk whispered as Doll settled on the bedside. Doll nodded, "I know, but Melody is taking a stupid risk. She wants to go back out there and find a witch she thinks that can track down Fray." A witch? Hawk quirked a brown, her hand never leaving Echo's head. Even if they were no longer contracted, the vampire still felt their bond. They were soul mates, after all, the same way that Echo and Flourspar had once been. "That's suicide," Hawk murmured and Doll nodded, "I told her as much. She's still going to ask Wei for permission," but Doll had the sense that Wei was going to deny them. "Knock, knock," Cress entered, her demon, Keron hot on her heels. Keron seemed agitated, but she was always upset about something. "How is she? I know the move disturbed a lot of them," the door closed behind them.
"Not good," Echo had stopped shaking at least. "I made these as a welcome gift for everyone," she came closer, but Echo stiffened. Cress's smile was sad, she had helped raise Echo alongside Shiro from an egg after her second birth. "You silly demon," Cress shook her head. "It's to calm the senses, an herbal blend. Lemon, peppermint, and lavender." Doll took the phial, grateful. "Thank you, we'll try it now." Doll dabbed a bit of it on Echo's temple, almost instantly her muscles relaxed, her breathing evening out. "Look at that, much better," Cress smiled. "I've gotta go back to Wei's side, but I'm glad I could help, even if it was only a little."
"C-c-co-cold," Echo stuttered, speaking at last. "Do you want me to run the bath?" Doll asked worriedly, feeling Echo's forehead. "I have to go," Hawk rose, "it's nearly curfew," she was free to move about considering she was still an agent, even if she had admitted herself to the East Tower. As long as she didn't break curfew or the few set of rules she had been given, Hawk was free to come and go as she pleased. Echo did not want her to go, but she couldn't say as much, as she was too busy shivering, huddled on the bed.
