[ The water begins to bubble, rising up and up in the bowl like a fountain, until it spills out of the bowl in waves, soaking into the dirt and around them. Still, though it overflows, the bowl seems no less empty than before - and the water climbs up and up and up, until the fountain becomes the gentle waterfall of a small stream no bigger than the circumference of the bowl. Through the waterfall, you can see - 


Like a broken tail light, flickering and inconsistent in its brightness, a lump of faulty lighting takes center stage of the waterfall, by and large covered up by the tattered, human-like skinsuit you could recognize as Mehniel, though their outer layer is torn enough that you can see bits of feather and fur poking out, and on the floor around them are abandoned bits of feather and hair too, dim light now that they've been torn out. Behind them you can catch the vague shape of  something, though you'll largely see the lights illuminating it from underneath a bevelled stone indent in the ground. Currently, the lights are a dull, constant red. If you squint you can see a glimpse of the wall behind; on it are hieroglyphs, unreadable to you. ]

[...he hesitates - shifts a little nearer, so that his flesh leg presses up against her side.]

[His thumb strokes her hand a little, careful.]

We're gonna figure this out. Okay?

Intensity... Intensity won't mess it up. He's good at stuff like this.

[Her body shudders at the pressure but leans more heavily against him anyway, burrowing her--

Well. She doesn't have a face to burrow. But with effort, her legs curl in a bit towards him, her hand gets a little stronger]

[He goes still for a second, sure he's hurting her, sure he's going to make it worse.]

[But if it's what she wants - if he can do anything at all - he owes it to her.]

[He gathers her in as best he's able, getting an arm around her back, as soft as he can possibly make the touch.]

[She sinks against him heavily, the previous burst of energy seeping out of her. Her chest hitches a few times, a harsh wheeze coming from somewhere, but otherwise her body just sags.

While she may be missing the tool to think about what she'd done, she can certainly feel it.]

[He rubs at her back, careful.]

[It's soft, and slow, trying very hard to offer what little comfort can be had.]
