Maybe I'll see you in the morning?

Location: DFC Infirmary Tree

Characters Involved: Kasto, Gwennythe, Ruadhan

Kasto is sick! Duh! and whats worse...he thinks Madison declined his Marriage proposal! not getting a reply at all isn't very good. and well...that shattered his heart into a billion small pieces. Since then, he hasn't stopped crying one bit. And now...he's starting to go totally bald. That potion took his sanity, his love, And now his fur...what next?

There's movement in the dimmer corners of the infirmary. The darkness stirrs. A creature of the night, a shadow, moves, and then Gwenn' nearly trips over as she wanders closer. She shakes her head at herself, and peers, concerned, and pityingly, at the squirrel on the bed, going no closer for a moment...

Kasto is unaware of Gwenn's presence. In fact, he's not even aware of himself right now. Getting off that potion...was probably the biggest, and most costly mistake of his life. Not even the powder stuff seems to help anymore. It did for a day or so..but...not no more. He's still sobbing away in his pillow, Fur falling out randomly...and..heh..even his hearing is starting to go. Someone kill him already >.>

Ruadhan is weird. Quirky kind of weird, he's not insane really. Very quirky. He's there. He silently snuck in about an hour ago and sat himself on top of a cupboard, easy to over look as he hasn't moved since then but he keeps watching Kasto. Best way to keep further trouble down, watch the apparent source. Gwenn gets a look as she appears and he gives a quiet snort, see how good that batty hearing is.

Gwennythe cannot decide whether to go any closer or not. She hovers, between her shadowey corner, the door and Kasto's bed. A wing reaches slightly in the direction of the unwell squirrel, but the bat's body refuses to follow its lead. Her ears flare at the quiet snort, and she looks for the source, her ears seeking shapes. Then, a nervous silent nod. She's not sure if Ruadhan wants others to know he's here, hiding up on a cupboard like that...

Only Ru can fit up there...Not Kasto..He's too tall...and to Dying to even try..Nope. Kasto doesn't even realize Gwennythe is here. Just...Sob...sob..."some...one....K-Kill me...." he cries out loudly into his pillow, hoping someone does end his miserable life. He lost the voices, he lost his Friends, he lost his love...now he lost the will to live.

Ruadhan just likes high places in this case. If he was really trying to hide they wouldn't see him. He's had plenty of practice at not being there when he doesn't want to be. A snort nod is sent back to

Gwenn and he raises a brow at Kasto's request, even snorts in a slightly amused way.

Gwennythe flicks her gaze back to Kasto, alarmed. Her ears twitch a little, and fall back, at Ruadhan's snort. And then she makes her way, cautiously to the bedside. "Senher..?"

Kasto doesn't hear the Bat...She's too quiet. He just keeps sobbing away. "Why...why wont somebeast...k-kill meee?" sob sob sob..

Ruadhan would shake his head but he's been pretty much still for so long it'd seem a shame. He's sticking to watching for now, he's still trying to work out the details that led to all this.

The bat looks pained as she listens to such a plea. "Because we cannot. Because it is wrong. And be-because it is life, Senher... It is the one thing we cannot undo. It would be murder, Senher..."

Kasto hears the bat this time. "Then someone...someone please murder me...please!" he cries out though the pillow.

Ruadhan can rationalize it in many different ways within just a few seconds but he's not going to tell

Gwenn that. He does however interrupt with a cough and a question "Why do you deserve to die?"

"You cannot want that..." The bat mutters, and then perks an ear as Ruadhan speaks up. She's not sure how to take that, so she stays silent, looking unpleasantly surprised.

Kasto just nods. "I...I want it..I want it badly" he cries. Ru's question is actually heard. "Because...because. I'm horrible...I'm...I'm suffering...please...just kill me..."

Another snort from Ru "I didn't ask what you wanted boy. I asked what you deserved. If you're so horrible you shall suffer and do nothing like the fool you are" he's not pretending to be nice about it, there is some apparent contempt towards the other squirrel.

Gwennythe looks between the squirrels, her face now with a little horrified expression. "Senher Ruadhan... Please. He is unwell... He's suffering..." Her wings fidget. "He cannot mean he wishes for death... And, he needs rest, not... Not an argument."

Kasto cries more...sheesh, you'd think he'd have cried out all his tears. "You...you...need....kill me.....please..oh please.....I...I can't...cant...live.....without....without...M...M....Madison....please.....somebeast...kill me...."

Ruadhan flicks his eyes on to Gwenn. Pity he has to horrify her once more, maybe he'll fix it sometime, he does like the bat "He does because he's a fool and a coward" he looks back down at Kasto again for a minute...Is it murder if you don't do it yourself? Eh, Gwenn would make him feel guilty either way.

"No. Grow up. Can suffer till you learn something" doesn't mean he has to be nice still.

"We cannot, Senher... It would be wrong. You need to get well, not... Not this." She shakes her head. "I cannot believe there is truly nothing for you here... Please." She's not looking at either of them now. It sounds like she and Ruadhan both want him to live, to her, but... Very different approaches...

Kasto keeps Sobbing away. He cant help it...really, he cant. Darn You! "B-B-B-B-But....I...I...w-want to Die....Why....It...its not wrong....if...if...I want it...please...." he says. his fur is now, in that length of time, almost entirely gone...only his tail has a little bit left, and his left ear...other then that..

Ruadhan doesn't do the sympathy so well. Tough love is more his style, or tough indifference in this case really. He finally moves, a quick spring and he's landing on the ground and walking towards the pair "It's wrong because you don't deserve to make Miss Gwennythe miserable with guilt for the rest of her life" never mind him "Now stop whining like a child and get a grip on yourself"

"Please... Do not worry about me." Is the mutter from the bat, still not looking. Her ears flick. "We cannot kill you, Senher... We just cannot. Please, do not ask that of us..."

Apparently they dont realize he's NOT going to be getting better. Kasto is now getting Mad at Ru. "You...you...You shut up...You little rodent...put...put me out of my Misery...please..someone..."

Ruadhan will settle for dying fighting instead of drowning in his own tears. He moves to stand the other side of the bed from Gwenn, just out of arm's reach and puts on an arrogant smirk at the insult "I say again, no"

Gwennythe is still looking at the floor, unable to decide what to do and perhaps even shedding a tear or two. "Please don't argue..." It's almost a whisper.

Kasto can not stand to argue. his Body isn't allowing it...And finally...the last few strands of fur on his ears and tail drift away. Again, he starts crying into his pillow. "I...I just want...to be well...again...I...I'm not going to get better.....I know it..."

Ruadhan doesn't even look at Gwenn, he'll fix her later. The smirk turns into a full out glare directed at

Kasto "Pathetic! You're not even trying. Oh sure, fate's easy to predict when don't even /try/ to change it. You don't want to get well, you want to cry into your pillow like a little girl!" hey he's not saying he wants to die anymore, that's a step up right?

The bat shudders. She opens her mouth but... she can't object. She agrees that Kasto needs to try to get well, and she's already tried to ask them not to argue... She's looking up again, glancing between them, once more with damp eyes.

Kasto slowly, tries to stop crying. But..heh, its hard. Finally he rolls onto his side. "I...I...I want...M-M-Madison...H-Here...F-F-F-for...a visit?"

Look look look, it works! Ru the wise and all knowing! Ok not really. He softens a tiny bit but he's not looking happy "So you can attempt a repeat of yesterday?"

Kasto slowly, and I mean very slowly shakes his head. "so...so...So I can..s-s-say goodbye...."

Ruadhan is persistent whether it's good or not. He snorts, expression flattening again "Determined to die still. You're young. Will can make every difference sometimes" semi-pep talk.

Kasto frowns and slowly closes his eyes. "I..want to say goodbye...just...just incase...I also...need....need to tell her a few...a few...things"

"W-would you not rather, Senher, to make an effort to... to live? And to tell her those things, in good health?" The bat offers, tentatively.

Ruadhan glances to Gwenn, he's done his bit for now so it's back to the bat and he awaits the answer to that.

Kasto sighs. "I...I want to live...but...but...I dont think i'm going to...look at me...i'm...I'm a wreck...I..."

Gwennythe shakes her head. "I... Senher... I know why you are like you are... I spoke to Senher

Kolya... He gave me... th-this powder... It's supposed to help you to get better..." It's about the only thing she can think of left, that hasn't been tried, to give him hope. "It's... been in your tea."

Ruadhan raises a brow to Gwenn, he really needs to catch up on things sometime, so far he's winging it. Attention flicks back to Kasto "There, you have a cure, you'll live”

Kasto Shakes his head. "no...no...its...n-not working...I...I knew it would never w-work..."

So, putting it into his tea has been a complete waste of time... And to think how long she spent switching decisions over it... The bat sighs, with a defeated squeak and finds a nearby bed to sit and slump down on. "Senher... Life... You only get one... Once it is over, there are no more chances. At anything. And any mistakes or wrongs, will be left uncorrected, and that would be your legacy..."

Kasto sighs. "I...I know...and this...this...This is not how i want to be...I'm...I'm in pain...in lots...of pain..just want to...end..."

The bat looks unconvinced. "As I have said before, I can only try my best... But, after yesterday, Senher... I am not at all sure there is a chance of persuading her to come..." She hangs her head. "I... I am sorry, Senher."

Kasto sighs and turns back into the pillow. "Then...then...tell...tell her I love her...very much...and that..I'm...so...so sorry....and...goodbye...." he starts sighing again.

Gwennythe swallows. "I shall tell her. But, I shall not tell her 'goodbye', yet, Senher." She stands, and gives a slow nod, mindful that her eyes stay dry this time, as much as she can. "But, I shall tell her, for you. Please. Try to get well." And she turns, ready to walk out through the door.

Kasto sighs. "Please...just...tell her goodbye as well...." and thats it..slowly he starts slipping away into a blackness. It is either sleep or maybe…Just maybe...He’ll be dead by morning...

Gwennythe pauses, ears back, shoulders slumping. There's a last lingering look back and then she forces herself to leave.

It really cant be told if Kasto dies there...or If he just falls asleep. The squirrel lays under the blankets, just...ever so slightly breathing. he's lost all his fur thanks to the after effects of the potion and lost his love...maybe...just MAYBE, he lost his life too...we'll have to wait until morning to find out....
