@malignMasking helped me . . . I think . . . That part's a bit fuzzy . . ."

She whimpered. When can she leave—?
Oh! Now! She can leave now! She hopped off the bed, extremely light-headed, and rubbed her temples, unaware she had stitches on her face. She didn't even notice Jekyll present.

—「 ᏆᎢ ᏔᎪᏚ another seemingly average evening outside with yet another seemingly average atmosphere in... Wherever this place was. Somewhat misty, a bit empty, yet bustling with chatter from the civilians that filled the pavements. Horses +

@malignMasking figure out why. She dug her nails in to the bedsheets, gripping them when they noticed her and started talking to her. She understood them, she just didn't wish to answer their enquiries. They felt too invasive and sudden.

"I-I just know that I was on the ground a-and a man +

[[ Hiatus. ] @bnvolcnce]

@TheShortTemper "O-Oh . . . I'm awfully sorry."

She paused and fiddled with her thumbs anxiously while glancing away.

"My ma passed, too . . . Never met my pa."

[[ Hiatus. ] @bnvolcnce]

Little Abigail, how ever will you make friends if you don't go outside and talk to anybody?

She stayed inside the Mess Hall, burying her nose in yet another book with a small smile on her tired face.

She wasn't expecting anything exciting to happen. That doesn't happen too +

[[ Hiatus. ] @bnvolcnce]

@TheShortTemper "A hunt for . . ?"

Maybe it's best not to ask.

". . . Your dad disappeared too . . ?"

[[ Hiatus. ] @bnvolcnce]

@TheShortTemper ". . . Uh, hold on . . . You just said you were from Scotland, I . . . Didn't know you r-ran from home . . ."

She twiddled her thumbs anxiously. Uhum...

[[ Hiatus. ] @bnvolcnce]

@malignMasking happened prior to this exact moment.

All she knows is this man asked her if she required assistance and, from then on, everything else would be a muffled blur and she would be allowed glimpses of consciousness. Nothing more, nothing less.

Thank goodness for his arrival.

@malignMasking forehead aaaall the way down to her jaw in one diagonal line to him. If inspected closely, it would appear those weren't the only marks on her but those would be discussed later at the hospital.

And potentially trigger a panic attack as she, again, zero memory of what +

[[ Hiatus. ] @bnvolcnce]

@TheShortTemper "Aha . . . Noted . . . You seem okay mentioning them . . . I take it you've been safe . . ?"

[[ Hiatus. ] @bnvolcnce]

@malignMasking Sleep . . . Blood . . ." before her eyelids fell shut once more. Just a moment too late.

[[ Hiatus. ] @bnvolcnce]

@malignMasking freezing winters, witness his mother's intestines spill out from her stomach, or be bought off to the next slave owner and be separated from his friends yet again?

She made a sound that sounded similar to a grunt, something like a, 'Hhhrk,' but she soon slurred, "Bed . . . +

[[ Hiatus. ] @bnvolcnce]

@bellcza burn with the hot steam and sting with her cool sweat? It had to be.

She snapped out of her little daydream when she heard the question. The girl looked up at her without saying much but held up her arms with one narrowed eye.

❝I . . . S'pose not . . ? Why . . ?❞

[[ Hiatus. ] @bnvolcnce]

@bellcza Abigail's eyes wandered around. She's been in kitchens before, made meals for her... Uncles and aunts... But there was something new about this one she couldn't exactly put her finger on.

Maybe it's something about how the place didn't fill her with dread or make her face +
