((hanging out in the nation's capital (AKA OTTAWA!) so posts will be sporradic for a few days... glad you liked the flash there Mai ;D))
The coffee pot I'd been holding crashed to the floor. Dead? Suicide? She couldn't have... but she did. I knew that whatever messed with her head must've been bad, because Charlotte was a strong girl. Nothing short of explosive would have hurt her enough to do that.
Aralin, bless her eternally, managed to keep her composure and lead me to a table. Without pausing, she stooped down to gather the broken glass and clean the hot liquid from the floor.
I sighed, pushing thoughts of my past and Excalibur out of my mind. I knew why Doc felt so broken now - he was.
"Goddess," I breathed. "I didn't... I never..." I took an unneeded breath. "I'm so sorry..."

Sorry. I wondered how many times Doc had heard that word recently. I wondered how much difference it made for him. Cos it sure as hell didn't do anything for me. My loss was tiny compared to his. Rory and I had never been as close as him and Charlotte and I hadn't known her too well but it still hurt. It still felt like everyday was a fresh hell. Doc's pain was worse than mine, but still I selfishly hurt and tried to make my pain go away before trying to help him. I was just a selfish bitch, hiding behind my pain to excuse myself from helping Doc with his.

I leant against the wall, biting my lip to hold the tears in. I would not cry. I would not break down again. I wouldn't i couldn't...
The chant went through my mind over and over.

"Nothing you could have done," I said, accepting the apology and taking a seat. "Nothing any of us could have done. And I can't even find the bastards that did this. They're probably sitting back laughing at us and there's not a damn thing I can do!" My fist came down and the table I was sitting at ((not the one with Excalibur)) split in half. "Shit. Sorry, Del. I..."

I waved him off before he could finish. "It's a table, it can be replaced," I said, almost snapping out the words. Damn. Emotions were running high, and they were really getting to me. Not to mention the fact that the blood from Doc's hand made it oh so much harder to ignore the lust of my kind.
Maya, Doc, Jessy. All they could feel was anger and sorrow and fear and pain and loss. I could feel it too. I closed my eyes, willing myself to concentrate. Aralin. Feel her emotions. Feel her calm. Draw from her poise. It was a slow process, but it was so much easier than trying to find calm on my own. That wouldn't come for a while now.
I held a hand to my browm rubbing my temples. It was getting harder to control.
"Dammit would someone PLEASE bandage his hand?!" I finally snapped. This wasn't going to be a very good day.

Shit, damn, stupid, I thought as I went to my ever present waist side first aid kit, pulling out a bandage, along with a particular cream.
"What's the cream for?" TPot asked. I shrugged casually."Anit sceptic," i said. "It also covers the blodd smell a bit. Make things easier. Sorry, Del. I..."

"Let me." I said, speaking for the first time since Doc had told Del what happened. "Then its totally healed and there is no spell to cover." I took Doc's hand, closed my eyes for a moment- barely more than a blink, and the cut was gone. Then i stepped back and said no more.

[I'm not going to ask if you're okay, because i know you're not] I sent to her. [If it means anything, though, I'm glad i found you, little sister. i don't know what i'd have done if you and Jessy weren't here to keep me grounded.]

They were talking. I could feel it, a little private conversation. Again I felt a little pang but I kept my face expressionless. They needn't know.

My eyes flickered to meet Docs for a moment and i sent him a tiny smile. Of course i felt the same- in the past few weeks, i'd have been lost without him- even Josh couldn't hold me back like he could.
I vaguely knew that Jessy was feeling bad, but i barely registered it. My own pain was for once such that i could not turn myself out to others... i couldnt deal with any more pain. In fact, i thought a little bitterly, Jessy will eventually have to realise that someone caring for, or talking privately, to someone else, does not mean they care for her any less. Del was watching me, and i was sure she had seen the tiny exchange between Doc and I. I felt a pang... it was difficult having another powerful telepath around again, esspecially one who knew me so well...
