Eefa can yell louder than Shahn!

"NOOO!!!"

Permalink

"YOU'RE A WHINER AND YOU'RE GONNA GET SICK AND DIIIIIE," says Shahn.

Permalink

Eefa bolts for the nearest exit without making a sound - even her running is quiet. 

Permalink

Yeah, it's locked.

Permalink

Eefa turns and pelts in a different direction, attempting to shove her way through the nearest her-sized window.

Permalink

She bounces right off. "Eefa!" exclaims Mikko, getting up to chase her.

Permalink

Keys? Where are keys?

Permalink

If Mikko has any they are not in evidence. He's trying to get close enough to her to pick her up.

Permalink

NO!

She runs in whichever direction contains the least people  - she needs to find a place to hole up in fast.

Permalink

Well, there's nobody in her room.

Permalink

That works - she starts trying to stuff herself into one of the drawers underneath the bed.

Permalink

"Eefa, what's wrong?" says Mikko, following her in there, though he doesn't actually stop her from getting into the drawer.

Permalink

As he follows her instincts switch her from hiding to crouching in a corner of the room and keeping her eyes on everything at once.

She replies to the sounds directed at her with a feral growl.

 

Permalink

"Eefa. Eefa honey, nobody's going to hurt you. Chioss is taking Shahn for a walk now, he won't shout at you any more."

Permalink

The sounds, insofar as they turn into words in her head at all, are VERY obviously false and untrustworthy and trying to trick her.

She continues to growl, lower and farther back in her throat than one would normally expect from a kid her age.

Permalink

Yeah, it's pretty weird. He's going to keep crouching a few feet away murmuring soothing words.

Permalink

He should not! She presses herself further back into the corner and continues to growl, though more quietly than before.

Permalink

For all he knows maybe she will simmer down in ten minutes. He's not going anywhere.

Permalink

She'll stop growling within ten minutes. And even become less tense, as long as nothing else happens.

She won't say anything though.

Permalink

He's going to go for, let's say five minutes of calm before he tries to say anything.

Permalink

He can get five minutes of not growling and not being actively tensed up to run? She's very clearly still scared and twitchy and her eyes are wide open.

Permalink

...okay if she's still that keyed up he's going to, at the five minute mark, go from squatting to sitting crosslegged on the floor, but not speak.

Permalink

She flinches when he moves, and looks briefly like she's considering taking advantage of his change in posture to run. But she doesn't.

Permalink

He sits, regarding her, for another five minutes, then takes out his pocket everything and looks at it with only occasional glances at her.

Permalink

S'long as there are no pictures of teeth on it that she can see she isn't going to react all that much.

She does eventually get less hypervigilant - if only out of tiredness.
