suffers from a bleeding heart (crogan) wrote in cirque_rp, |
Like all accidents, the crashing into two bodies was sudden and caused for Meredith to give a yelp of surprise, her arms out reached for the other's cup of coffee to protect it more than herself. Even in acts of unawares collisions, Meredith was thinking about other's misfortunes than her own. Besides, that's what she gets for not looking.
She hadn't even looked up yet at her crash mate as he weakly started to apologize, as she was so busy trying to do her own and keep an eye on the taller man's coffee trying not to completely crack. "No! I'm so so sorry, I wasn't-" Meredith looked up and a light went off behind her eyes. "Oh, Alexandru!" The sudden joy rolled away like so much water in those quick heartbeats. Worry and anxiety swept over her open features. A type of deep seeded fear rushed up from behind bring with it tears to brim in her eyes.
There was something terribly wrong. She could see it like so many black crows circling Alexandru's head. Meredith reached out to the gargoyle that had taken her to see the beauty of Aspen up high before the Cirque moved. Meredith placed her small hand on the center of Alexandru's chest. "Are you okay?" No, of course, he wasn't okay but Meredith left him the opportunity to lie. She understood the desire to own one's burdens.
