26th Devotion: EMERGENCY call for help

[favoritetraitor]

She.... she's GONE.

[A rather distressed looking Solomon stares out from the network's monitors. His body movements agitated as he struggles to sit still long enough to deliver this message.]

I've looked everywhere... Everywhere...!  Perhaps, I should contact the Warden... report this as a missing person.... or...

Diva...!

[His eyes flash to the screen, desperate.]

Are you behind this? Where is she?!

[He takes a deep breath to calm himself, his hand reaches up to rub the stress form his forehead.]

Please... if anyone has seen Saya... please tell me.

please...

[In sympathetic reaction, his hand drifts up to clutch the fabric over where his heart aches.]

... and if I never see her again. What then...? What purpose will my life hold? I don't know how to do this...

[She stops then and looks straight ahead.]

Like when I lost master and sisters. I still do not know.

[The impulse to seek comfort in her arms was strong. But Solomon remained where he stood, instead folding his arms around his body and looking into the depths of the shadows around them.]

They... never found their way back? They would come for you, wouldn't they? If
possible...

Sister Aleera came once. I wept with joy. But gone...gone...gone.

[Her hand reaches out to brush through his hair.]

My bond with them is gone and my heart empty. It makes it ache a pain that won't go away. I wander lost.

[At her touch, his defenses shattered. Choking back the flood of emotions, he did the only thing he could do to hold onto any sense of stability... Reaching out, he grabbed hold of her arms and pulled her to him; burying his face in the soft sweet smelling curls of her hair.]

... I'll find a way. This pain will stop...

[The action was startling but she recovers quickly and gently pets his back. Little comforting sounds leave her lips as she holds him.]

Hush, hush. Hush, hush.

[It was just a momentary breakdown. Recovering, he slowly pulled back from the the only other woman besides Saya who could draw such a response from him. Well, as long as he wasn't cursed, that is...]

... I-I'm fine. Thank you... Marishka.

[Staying in her arms was too dangerous. Saya was missing. That was all that mattered.]

It's... been a shock to me... not knowing... worrying. And here I am, wasting time by my weakness, when I should be searching...

Pain of loss. A trial.

[It's like she's lost a grip on sanity for the moment as she wanders away humming. It happens sometimes. Then the moment ends and she looks towards Solomon.]

Come. I will keep you safe. Nothing here can harm me and we must see where your Saya went.

[He nods gravely, gathering his resolve. He switches the device he's carried with him to text only. No one need see what goes on in the Underground. Not this time. He'd leave it behind except for the need to keep communication open... just in case...]

We must move fast, Marishka. I can't take this much longer... forget human speed.

[She looks at him then nods and her movements become unnatural as she speeds up.]
