Knees press together, hands resting in her lap. She's stiff, almost as if she had been carved from marble, stuck there. Eyes gaze outside, glued to the window as if it were the most thrilling piece of media she had ever laid her eyes on… or a car crash. Only time could tell.
Chest rises with an audible inhale ( not that she needs it anymore ), and it's finally then that her eyes shut. Emotions get the best of her, and a tear breaches, staining her cheek. But oh, how wonderful it was to be able to experience this feeling again… fear. Just as real and visceral as the night she had her life taken.
" It's just like- " It's obvious, the pain she feels in her voice. " I don't know, Cy has been a big help but… it's just like… I'm relivin' the whole night over again and it's hard, y'know ?? " It's still very fresh in her mind- well... fresher than Cyrus' at least, though she would never discredit his trauma and how he felt about it.
" I cried for four hours after Val helped me, and that feelin' hasn't really gone away yet. "

It's a somber look that sits upon laurel’s face as she watches holly carefully. Necromatic magic seemed to come easier to her than her sister or brother, the familiar static that lingers around holly now makes her fingertips itch. Val had come to her not long after the binding she’d performed on holly and spoken with laurel regarding her memories, to see if they’d be mixed with the deceased mortals or if she’d remain singular. She’d taken to consulting her fathers texts and tombs he kept stashed away in his office before following the very lead to laurence's crypt. It wasn’t often she found herself in the bowels of their garden, and laurel didn't make it a habit to touch the elder crow either. There were few answers to be found but after hours of mulling over texts, scripts, scrawls, and even making contact with her ancestor – she’d come to find that she would remain her own.
It was a breath of relief in truth, a heavy one. Now sitting in the crow drawing room, the blonde zombie rests on her mothers favorite lounge. Pursing her lips laurel nods voice level and low, “ i would say good, but that depends on what you are remembering. I would advise you find somewhere safe to be while they return to you, i can't say there won't be large waves of emotional distress after being numb for so long. “

Nails pick at the frayed skin of her fingers, very clearly nervous. Ever since... well ALL of that happening, she couldn't handle being left alone for an extended period of time. It was too much for her, and she's finally feeling what PTSD she should have felt all those years ago. It was fucking hard.
Holly swallows, inhales, chest rises and falls and eyes finally catch Lena's. She gives a nod and agrees to help. It gives her something to do, to not feel so useless as she often had nowadays.
" Yeah, where d'you want me to start ?? "

She’s nimble fingers. A delicate touch on harsh tablets as she scours through lyric’s scribbles and sketches to match the two symbols at hand. The attic itself was silent aside from the soft shuffle and hiss of a custom made grandfather clock in the corner. Outside the grand stained glass window the sun began to make it decent, dropping behind the trees and setting its sights for the horizon. Lena can feel the air shifting, the restless curl of something wicked rising in the distance. It makes her stomach cinch and her brow furrow, as her nails skim each line over and over again trying to find the exact match.
There is no alert to holly’s presence, the room does not quake nor does the air flip or shift. All is still as if she belongs there in the room all along, it is only when her pale blonde hair is caught out of the corner of lena’s eye does she start. Jerking up her dark eyes wide, she can feel her heart stutter in her chest brows rising as she gives a curious look to the other girl. She’d left her in the kitchen among the few goods laurel had abandoned, and the cats that milled around the property. Had she been gone that long? she could’ve swore she’d only left her five minutes ago. Holly’s answer is soft, an explanation and lena can only give a softer but tense smile. “ it’s okay, i don't like being alone all too much either. Do you wanna help me? four eyes would be far better than just two.

@ch069 asked: “ I want to feel you inside me, deep inside me. I want you to tell me when you’re going to cum, hear you moan my name and fuck me harder.” ( from Val to Nick! ) from here
The thought of that had Nick hard already. Chest rising as he thinks it over, eyes blinking slowly. Though he watches her from behind half lids, jaw clenching. A hand twitches foreword, wrapping digits around the delicate column of her throat, squeezing just lightly. Nickolas King Russo is usually one to submit in the bedroom, though occasionally he can be caught off guard even by himself. He pulls Val closer.

" Mm, yeah, I bet you would like that, wouldn't you ?? You wanna get outta here right now ?? Or are you gonna fuckin' tease me some more ?? "
