Petal 03 -- Open to Action

[shylyintrepid]

[When the feed starts, Jehan is clearly not in his cabin. He's down by the shore.

And he's been crying. His voice is hoarse and when he speaks, his accent is a bit thicker than usual]

If...if anyone else knew Zane, son of Venus, he...

[He wants to say "died". Died would be so much easier than the truth]

He was a...he was an agent of the Red Room. This entire time. He...he was here to spy on us.

[And he cuts the IM. As he does, you can see him break down yet again. It's going to be a long time before he recovers from this heartbreak]

Not all the time... No.

[shylyintrepid]

[He nods]

...I'm sorry.

[dandylicious]

Why? You have nothing to be sorry about.

[shylyintrepid]

I just...I feel like I should apologize. I'm making a big problem all about me.

[dandylicious]

You have every right to be upset over this, Jehan. Don't. I just want you to feel better... We all do.

[shylyintrepid]

...can I have a hug?

[He's trying not to cry again but dammit, Courfeyrac is making him want to cry. Or maybe it's just timing. Either way, he needs the physical comfort of a hug]

[dandylicious]

You can have as many hugs as you want.

[Seriously. Get here, Jehan, and hug to your heart's content.]

[shylyintrepid]

[Jehan leeches on to Courfeyrac and cries. He needs this. He needs his friends]

[dandylicious]

[And he's content to just hold Jehan and just reassure him that everything will be okay.]
