Re: [Fuzzy] Forest: Julia L/Leena B
The girl limped like someone had beaten her. Clipped her leg, her ankle maybe, Julia didn't know but she understood the limp better than the girl would expect. Julia's eyes were washed blue and they were shrewd in taking in damage. She saw the crop of hair, she saw the skin, she saw the whole lot, baby and she wondered who it was the girl had let close enough to do the damage. Someone she knew? Statistically, most likely.
Julia squinted, and she felt guilty before she said it but she needed the cover to work even a little. "Who hurt you?" Blunt, right out there and saying it. And she caught a live-wire loop of whatever it was that ran underneath her skin and pinched, around the innards of the generator and yanked. The thing was ready to pack up and die, she knew that, and so did Leena. She didn't have this shit down yet, she didn't know if she would. What she knew was that she had the buzz in the empty space between her rib-bones, packed tight. Easing a little of it out and into the generator took control she didn't have, it unreeled like cotton ravelling from a reel bright and fast and took her breath with it until her head spun.
The thing wasn't meant to kick to life, it wasn't started. It started anyway, a strong heavy hum of activity and Julia's head spun.
