hold chihiro’s hand / accepting
@ervaurem said: [ PULL ] (from haku uwu) - sender takes receiver by the hand to help them to their feet after they've fallen or been knocked over.
–– THWACK ! a powerful blow to her middle , followed by a sharp pain that traveled across her spine. the next thing she knew, arms weakly scrambled to lift herself up from the cold wooden floor. truly unfortunate was the girl to have been assigned to a regular, yet RATHER RUDE AND BOISTEROUS SPIRIT GUEST. from what sen had heard, the visitor had been looking for lin to attend to them, but since the older was called to another task, the higher ups decided that “ it should be the human who would take on the task. ”
so here she was, barely an introduction in and then she was met with A DEMAND for the older. when she couldn’t explain where her friend was, the child was flung out of the room, figure hitting against the corridor before eventually falling to the ground. I SAID, I WANTED LIN ! NOT YOU! WHERE IS LIN ?! WHERE IS SHE ?! WHERE IS SHE ?! across the corridor did the spirit’s insistence reverberated , most probably drawing in the attention of everyone NEAR THE VICINITY. but no matter how loud their shouts were becoming, the young bathhouse worker could only focus on fighting against the PARALYZING PAIN that coursed all throughout her entire being. even with the LITTLEST OF COUGHS she would emit, it felt like her lungs were collapsing. everything hurt.
amidst ALREADY TEARY AND BLURRY charcoal hues, she suddenly found a palm reaching out to her. glancing up at the newcomer, pudgy features were surprised to see a very much familiar face. ❛ h-haku ? ❜ he was here ! had he heard of the commotion ? it shouldn’t have reached the top floor should it? thankfully there were a few attendants nearby who took over the scene in an attempt to calm down the visitor, and with the attention no longer on her, she found her palm reaching out towards his; allowing herself to be lifted up in the process.
as soon as legs had stabilized enough for her to stand up, sen leaned against the corridor’s walls, head downcast as she DESPERATELY attempted to hold back the tears that only continued to well on either side of her eyes. WORDLESSLY, her smaller palm would only clench tighter onto his hand as she sought for comfort she was not allowed to breathe out.
