Who: Henn & Soren
Where: Wolfpackhaus
When: Thursday sometime
Warnings: None likely for once.

Henn wasn't worried, not really, she didn't have the capacity for it with her emotions shut down, but she knew it wasn't normal to have one's emotions detached for so long. She'd done everything she knew how to do, and so far it hadn't worked.

At that particular moment she was sitting on her shelfnest, eyes closed, more-or-less meditating, just listening to the house around her, brow creased slightly in something like confusion. She could pick up on the emotional states of everyone in the house, everyone she met, and she remembered what those emotions were like, but she couldn't get herself to feel them now.

	She shrugged, "It might. Sneaky was pretty clear though, he said I'd have to bring it all back myself." (Reply to this)

	Sitting up, Soren nodded before kissing her on the mouth. He wasn't Cass, he knew it wouldn't help, but he still wanted to try. (Reply to this)

	He had the right idea all the same, really what she needed was a shock to the system, something to jump her own emotions back up. This was close, and she responded to it the same as she always did, physically, at least, there was none of the usual shower of emotions or flicker of half-remembered images, the Shadowspeak that usually went along with it.

	He pulled back and shook his head. "Henn, everyone loves you." He dipped in for another kiss, more gentle, cupping her cheeks lightly and smiling. (Reply to this)

	not_that_henri 2009-09-08 03:18 pm UTC (link)
	"I know." Was the murmured response before he resumed the kiss. She drew away after a moment, resting her forehead against his temple, "That's what makes this so hard, knowing everybody loves me and worries about me and knowing that I should be able to do the same, but I can't." (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-09-08 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	"You can, just not right now." He smiled and nuzzled her neck a little, just holding her. "You'll be fine." (Reply to this)

	not_that_henri 2009-09-08 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay." She said with a nod, forehead still resting against his temple, letting herself be comforted by touch as well as she could be at the moment, "Just keep being certain for the both of us. Might get through." (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-09-08 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Some things I know to be true, and this is one of them." He shrugged. "I have faith." (Reply to this)

	not_that_henri 2009-09-08 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	She nodded, still curled up against his side, "There's worse things to have faith in." (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-09-08 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	He twirled her hair lightly around a finger, smiling a little. "I'd like to think so. How's Kitten?" (Reply to this)

	not_that_henri 2009-09-08 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	She shrugged, "Okay, I think, he's been staying with Cass more often than not, or mom. Sometimes resorts to acting like a toddler, rolling around like I haven't fed him in weeks, which, uh, I kind of haven't." (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-09-09 12:02 am UTC (link)
	"At least he has Cass. Maybe I can send Snuggles over to play with him. Too bad they can't share or something." He scritched her scalp a little bit. (Reply to this)

	not_that_henri 2009-09-09 02:38 am UTC (link)
	There was a quiet little sound at that, head tilting forward into his hands, "That's kind of tingly." There was a pause while she just let herself bask in the sensation, "I like it." (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-09-09 02:42 am UTC (link)
	He chuckled, scritching even moreso, kissing her neck lightly. "Good. Liking something is a good thing for you right now." (Reply to this)

	not_that_henri 2009-09-09 02:44 am UTC (link)
	She nodded again, just a little so as not to dislodge his fingers, "Doesn't usually make me all tingly though." A slight shrug, "But I'll take what I can get." (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-09-09 02:46 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe I'm magical or something now? I don't know." He moved to use both hands, massaging and scritching alternately. (Reply to this)

	not_that_henri 2009-09-09 02:53 am UTC (link)
	She sighed softly, head still tilted forward into his hands, "Maybe. Or maybe I just never noticed because the emotional comfort overrode the physical." (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-09-09 02:56 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe. But either way, you hush and just sort of enjoy this." He moved so that she could lean back into him as he scritched more. (Reply to this)

	not_that_henri 2009-09-09 03:01 am UTC (link)
	"M'not arguing." She said, because clearly he thought she was. Or something. She did settle back against him more comfortably, and Kitten wriggled in from wherever he'd been hiding, curling up around Soren's forearm, just clinging there, antennae wiggling in as forlorn a manner as he could manage. (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-09-09 03:52 am UTC (link)
	Soren couldn't help but chuckle at Kitten. "Oh, hey," he smiled. He couldn't help but laugh a little bit at the obvious sadness. "Don't worry, HennHenn will be fine soon." He continued laughing when Snuggles swooped down from behind his hair and perched next to Kitten. (Reply to this)

	not_that_henri 2009-09-09 03:56 am UTC (link)
	Henn's brow creased, just slightly, reaching out to pet Kitten gently with a finger, "Hey. I'm sorry. Didn't mean for this to last so long." (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-09-09 04:02 am UTC (link)
	"We know you didn't mean to, HennHenn." He smiled and kissed her again, leaning against her a little harder as he kept scritching. (Reply to this)

	not_that_henri 2009-09-09 04:47 am UTC (link)
	He got the same reaction as before, Henn replied the same as she always did, only without the Shadowspeak that went along with the motions. Kitten perked up, just a little, antennae cocking forward, tickling against Henn's temple and brow. (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-09-09 04:49 am UTC (link)
	Smiling at Kitten's reaction, Soren moved to kiss her neck while he scritched, humming low against her skin. (Reply to this)

	not_that_henri 2009-09-09 04:55 am UTC (link)
	Henn's brow creased again at that, eyes more closed than not, there was something just at the edge of her comprehension, right out of sight and just beyond her reach, but Kitten had caught it, which meant it was there at least. (Reply to this)
