Children...-frowns-
They are innocents..

.....
-reaches out then stops-
May i pat your head?

-nods-
Exactly.
My world is at war.
-frowns-
.......I'm...I'm sorry, I can't let you touch her.
-conflicted look-
It's nothing personal, just...
-sighs-
If you were from my world you'd understand.
Even best of friends know not to touch each other's daemon.


No.
-blunt-

-nods-
I understand,
-looks at her-
I am sorry for stepping out of line earlier, please understand that this place.....
-sighs-
This place is very important, and i am a master here.
Meaning the lives of the people in this dorm are in MY hands.

We understand, and we're very sorry for causing you trouble.
May we leave now?


-purrs-

If you wish.
-nods-

-smiles-

-takes the knife in one hand, starts feeling for seams with the other-
......
-finds a seam, presses the knife against it-



-Henri tenses-
.......Remy.
-quiet, almost a hiss-

-watching,head tilt-
......?
Is something wrong?

It's not working.
-calm, but urgent-
..........


-ears fold back, tail swishes-

-blinks-
May i try?
-holds out hand-

-hands him the knife-
Sure.
-heart pounding-
Use a hand to find a seam, you saw how I did it, right?

-nods,does as he did,and stabs the knife in-

....
-frowns-

Hmn...-gives it back-
Seems you wll be staying here.

-feels sick to his stomach-
Wh-what? No, I...
I have stuff to do, I can't...
It has to just be that window...give me the knife!
-panics-


-lowers herself to the ground-
Remy.
-calm-

-gives it back-
Calm down, i am sure we are just doing it wrong?

-growls-
I've been doing this for years.
-rushes to the other side of the room, searches for another seam-


REMY.
-pounces up on his shoulder, digs claws in-

-watches,sighs-
I can not help you child.

-sits, defeated-
......
-holds hands to his face-



-licks him comfortingly-
We're stuck here, for how long no one knows.
No help getting upset.
