Tachikoma was back in the chair. She was pale and there were dark circles under her eyes. He'd let her walk around for a little while on the third day, but that had ended when she'd tried to lie down and close her eyes. Now the purpose of her bonds was mainly to keep her upright, rather than to keep her from running. He hadn't let her go until she was complacent enough to face the window and not try to look. He stayed behind her the whole time.

Now she had been awake for over a hundred hours. She was quiet, her head occasionally tilting jerkily to the side whenever she thought she heard something. Every now and then she thought she heard a footstep, or a woman's voice. She looked down at her fingers, pressing them together to keep them from shaking. Now that her resolve was completely broken, Seth had stopped hiding from her. They would be leaving the city soon.

Seth had the pills in his pocket, his clammy hand clasped tightly around the bottle. He'd let her do a few things. Kept her fed and quiet, let her walk around. He wished he didn't have to stop her from doing anything, but certain rules had to be upheld. When someone knew the king of dreams, it was simply logical to keep them awake and out of harm's way until the harm had passed completely. When they were out of the city, things would start to get easier for the both of them.

He stood behind her, letting his hand hover over her shoulder. He couldn't bring himself to touch her, remembering her squirming body when he'd held the chloroform against her mouth, remembering her naked. Instead, he studied her reflection in the window.

"I was thinking maybe we could go to Canada," he said, his voice quiet. Everything seemed to move slowly, dust spiraling in the cold, empty room. He had barely slept himself, since he had to keep awake to watch her. He hadn't wanted to sleep anyway. "But now I don't know...where do you want to go?"

Depriving a person of sleep could only go on for so long. Merv and had been ready for it, knowing that eventually Tach wouldn't be able to stay awake any longer. Of course, he'd done his best to not think about what must have been done to her in order to keep her awake and out of the reach of the Endless. It made him angry. Whoever'd taken her was going to regret it for a very, very long time.

Tachikoma's eyelids fluttered. That was all they needed. A half second where she dozed and Merv was there, suddenly. The place was dark. Dirty. It smelled. He only hoped that Tach was okay. Still scarecrow shaped, with a pumpkin for a head, Merv busted through the door.

	Seth pulled away from her quick as shrapnel from the center of a bomb, both hands up. What...was it? He had trouble controlling his shock, but he stuck close to Tachikoma, not willing to move too far from her. "Who are you?" he demanded, one hand clasped tightly around the back of the chair, the other reaching into his pocket. He wasn't scared. Not at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The room grew cold and darkness billowed in around the materializing Endless. Morpheus was angry. He refrained from immediate action, believing that Mervyn should be the one to make the call on this one. His presence was intimidating, to say the least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
