Eight, in which Angel tries hard to act like Max would

[birdkiddie]

The mansion seems to collapse. We should all leave the building.

[Angel will be out and about to try and find all members of her flock: Elaine, Rouge, Jack, Gokudera, and also Coraline. She has no idea how she can help them, but the first thing in times of trouble is to gather the flock. To not be alone.]

How many in this place can fly?

[That's fine with Elaine, except she's ready to stop Angel if she tries to touch the planet. It'd probably mean Mhairi's death if anything disturbed it.]

Is that good or bad? [Elaine does notice the younger girl's change, but doesn't mention it.]

It's probably for the better. How are you?

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

Well... I'm not sure how many people have figured this out. [She stands beside Angel, also looking at the planet.] I barely have any power while Mhairi's alive. Just enough to keep up appearances, but that's it.

[talks-to-fish.livejournal.com]

[that really worries her.]

Why do you need Mhairi?

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

It's practice. [She sounds a bit worried as well.]

How long will you keep it up?

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I might be here for years, and it wouldn't feel right to... make it die.

[talks-to-fish.livejournal.com]

But it feeds upon you.

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

It doesn't really feed. It just takes a lot of effort to keep it up.

[talks-to-fish.livejournal.com]

But you feed it.

[She sighs a little bit, then pulls Angel into a hug.] Yes, I do. I know it's dangerous, but it's important to me, too.
