Hopefully Tumblr can keep these things straight, huh?

Still need my aesthetic tags tho....eventually.

          “Somethin’ like that.”

          He’d tried.  He really had.  But any time he closed his eyes, it always seemed that things...wouldn’t leave him be.  Thoughts or nightmares, even while awake...the constant feeling that his Master was waiting around any corner, or he could hear his voice condemning every action with Saesee or Master Bouri...

          Quietly, the Korun settled, his slight shivers easing.  It wasn’t so much that he was cold, as that he’d spent the last two hours in the rain.  It was icy cold, but...it helped him think.  Nature always helped him think...helped ground him.  Living things, the earth, the rain...his hair was soaked, but he’d done his best to dry it before coming back in and seeking shelter with Saesee.

          “...it’s too quiet.  Makes my nerves twitch,” he murmured finally, shutting his eyes and putting himself under the iktotchi’s chin quietly.

          It was always so hard, after each ‘session.’  The constant, deafening nervousness, the terror that maybe his Master would come back, and keep at it.  Keep him awake, keep him down, keep berating him...

          He didn’t know how long he’d spent on the box, curled in a ball and shaking, before the door opened.  Panic nearly overwhelmed him, dread slamming into his chest and tightening the chains around his lungs, and he stopped breathing for a moment.  The brief silence let him relax a little, let him force the panic aside, and swallow the blood he could feel and taste.  Copper and iron that just seemed to fill his senses, red that seemed to fill his sight...

          “I’m okay...really, I just...’m okay,” Mace murmured, wincing as those familiar, gentle hands pinched his nose (probably broken, again) and settled at his back.  Saesee was always so gentle, so caring with him...it was so strange still, but welcome.  One eyes was almost swollen shut, the other slowly shut, as he leaned into the presence and made himself lean forward, coughing wetly.

          “It could’ve been worse...you don’t need t’ worry.”
