[OPEN] Dreams Don't Turn To Dust

[seth joshua grant]

"Ah it's fine, I know plenty of people like that." He shrugged, watching the eagle for a moment then looking back up at her again. "Yeah, we've always been real close, never had much reason not to be. Guess it helps that we both have the same friends and are only two years apart."

He glanced over at her. "You guys close?" Bangs fell back into his eyes and he flipped the away with the quick motion of moving his head.

Adele smiled as he talked. She stretched tiredly, and perked up at his question, "Jayden and me? Thick as thieves." She winked, quoting her aunt after everytime they with held one of their secrets from her. "It's sad though, We're two totally different people. I'm kind of like his only friend.. He's just wihdrawn from the world.." She paused, wondering if she was talking too much. She looked over to the window, the curtains were closed, but it must be late.

Adele yawned quietly, looking back at Seth. "Here, let's go ahead and take you back there." She stood, grabbing the wheel chair from behind the couch. She scooted it close to the couch's edge, making it easier for Seth to slide in. She helped him, making sure to be gentle. As he got in the chair, she quietly rolled the wheelchair down and into her room. The walls were splattered with different paints and had posters of dresses and sketches of clothes. "I made these sheets" Adele laughed lightly, as she stopped the wheelchair at the top of the bed and helped him climb in. She moved one of the pillows down so he could elevate his foot, and grabbed the blanket from the foot of the bed. Adele sat down in the wheelchair, looking up at Seth. "Comfy?"

Seth chuckled. It was good that they were close, it seemed they really needed each other.
Standing carefully, keeping weight off his right foot, he sat down in the wheelchair, studying the hallway and looking around Adele's room curiously.
"Did you? That's neat." He smiled faintly, grimacing. Shifting his weight a bit, he hoped he would manage to stay sleeping on his back. He was one to sleep in all odd ways, curled up or on his stomach usually.

"As comfy as I'm gonna get. He reached over with his left hand totake hers and squeeze gently. "Thank you, really. If you hadn't stopped to help, my stubborn ways would have us sleeping in my car."

"It would probably be comfy-er if I slept in it more." Her cheeks turned slightly pink as he took her hand and squeezed it. "It's no trouble. It kind of reminded me of Jayden and I. Of course we didn't have a car. Just a tent and a few sleeping bags." She laughed, quietly, remembering the night Jayden had first convinced her to sneak out of their aunts house. He led her down to the lake, and they watched the water til they fell asleep in the little tent.

"Jayden might not seem like it, but when we were little, he was the leader. Not me. He was a lot braver when we were younger." She sighed, thinking of all the times their had been yelling at their aunts house. Jayden was always in the middle of it, defending himself, and her. "You can tell me to shut up and leave whenever you like. I can talk for days at a time, sometimes." Adele smiled, looking at Seth.

Seth smiled faintly. "I can kinda see it. He'd protect you in a heartbeat." He chuckled softly, ran a hand through his hair. Akirema had been pearched on the wheelchair, and with a flap of wings, stumbled onto the bed, massive wings spread briefly in agitation. Seth was barely phased by the bird's antics.

"If you want to go to bed, feel free, but I'm fine with talkig, too." He wouldn't be getting much sleep anyway, he could tell. Not with the pain on top of so many things to think about.

Adele smiled, her eyes focused on the bird as it moved. She knew it was late, but she wasn't ready for bed just yet. Her hand swept through her hair, removing the bangs from her face. "I'd do the same for him.." It was true, Adele would protect Jayden.. if he ever needed it. But he barely got out of the house, unless he had work or if he wanted to go read a new book. "If he got out of the house more, I'd probably have to, but he stays in unless he has work or wants a new book."

Adele yawned, cover her mouth with her hands. "You and your sister seem to get along pretty well. It's nice to see other siblings that get along, most just seem to fight." She wasn't sure of why that was. Maybe it had to do with age, or how they were raised.

[seth joshua grant]

"Yeah," He murmured, smiling faintly. "Never had reason to fight with her." Not to mention who their father was. He wasn't sure if that mattered or not, though. Shaking his hair from his face, he felt Akirema nestle close and tuck down to sleep.

The bird acted like a cat, he swore. He reached his left hand over, ruffling the feathers along the bird's neck.

[adele nicole green]

"Well when your fighting the world, the last thing you wanna do is fight family.." Adele propped her legs up on the edge of the bed. Her arms moved quickly to stop the wheels from rolling back. Pulling the lever, she stopped the wheels from rotating. A sigh of relief escaped her lips. Her elbow sat on the arm of the wheel chair, and her head rested in her hand. The blink of her eye lids became more slow and lazy, like she was drifting asleep.

She wasn't, or maybe she was.. Adele didn't feel tired, but falling asleep without realizing it was her specialty. "Where did the bird come from?" Her lips formed the words, but her voice was gentle, and quiet, barely above a whisper.

[seth joshua grant]

"True.." He stretched a bit, gazing up at the ceiling a moment. When she spoke again, he tilted his head to look over at her, a faint smile passing his lips. "Akirema? She was just a little baby, fell out of her nest when I found her. Wouldn't let anyone else touch her, 'course I could also communicate, considering my genes."

He smiled the faintest bit, watching the large bird ruffle its wings as he drew his hand back again. "Comes and goes as she pleases."

[adele nicole green]

"Is it fun to be the son of a God?" Adele's eyelids opened, making only a slit of where you could see her pupils. She studied the feathers and colors of the bird. "She looks tasty," Giggles of laughter rolled of her lips. She would never eat a bird, unless it was cooked, though the panther side of her would eat just about anything. But as far as she could remembered she never went out hunting for raw food. "Sounds like me," A smile slipped across her face and she looked toward Seth.

A yawn began to creep up on Adele, causing her hand to move over her lips to hide it. "You're pretty cute, you know?" She spoke soft and lazily. Her eyes closed, slowly, and her chest rose slowly as her breaths became longer. She was begining to drift off into dream land.
