"True but you have an advantage on your side..."

"Crouch cares very little for her wellbeing if Crest's report is accurate, and they ALWAYS are."

"True... But I'm sure he wouldn't want her helping us... Especially if it's one of the Strayer's going insane..."

"True, definitely true. But I don't think he'll go out of his way to help her either."

"Of course he wouldn't... But what does him having to help her have to do with this?"

"It's unlikely you'll have to fight Crouch to get to her."

I sigh, "But what if Crouch is there? I'm no where near as skilled as you and your family are at sneaking around and combat..."

"Here, we can form a plan together..."

I look at Artisan with a huge amount of gratitude. "Okay..."

Tell me when you want Jessie.

You can bring her in now if you want!

Ooc Ko

Ic walks over and sees Artisan and Sam together. She stops dead in her tracks-

"Hey it's no problem, I'm just the best!"

I look over at Jessie, "Oh boy... Sam... you may want to get off.."

I look at Jessie, a child-like innocence showing in my eyes, but also guilt by how she looks frozen and the way she's looking at us. I shrink down more to where Crest is, wishing he wasn't crazy.

Ooc Ugh!!! I can't do this!

Says to self- Liria pretend you don't have a heart...

Ic I go over and (Ugh come on fingers type it out!!!!) Slap her across the face-

Ooc Goes and cries in a corner-

Hell hath no fury...

OOC It's okay, Lir! -goes and pats Liria's back comfortingly- All is well!

IC I just sit there, my eyes wide. I'm stunned without the use of a spell. I've been tortured by Crouch, Raven, other Death Eaters and insane people, and my own father, but I've never been slapped before. I lift my hand to my face, my fingers tracing over the now red mark on my cheek. It stings. But I probably deserve it... I'm weak. I'm pathetic. Selfish. I do nothing but whine and complain. I look down in silence, not saying a word.

Crest: I look up to see Sam in pain and I spring to my feet, grabbing Jessie by the arm as tight as possible.

Artisan: While stunned I go over to Crest, "Hey! Let her go!"

Ooc I am a horrible human being.

Ic glares at Sam in hatred-

I wince as Crests grabs me and I try to shake him off-

I stay on my knees, cupping my hand over my hurt cheek. It takes me a few moments to realize that Crest is up and looking ready to hurt Jessie. I look up at them, standing shakily, "Crest, don't!!"

Timeout may I edit my post very fast?

Go ahead!

K we're good!

Artisan: I push Crest off of Jessie, "Everyone just STOP!!!"

Crest: I glare at Jessie in a rage not normal for my every day look.

Glares back at Crest-

I walk over to Crest, grasping his arm and hugging it, "Crest! It's okay... Calm down..." I hold back the threat of tears in my eyes. Not at Jessie slapping me, but for all my weakness.
