UNHOLY DISORDER
[Something is wrong with the room you are in.
At first blush, it seems normal enough. It's nicely furnished, lavish dark oak, brass and a rich green drapery and carpet. Except in the middle of the room, a simple glass box sits wrapped in chains. Inside, a heart rocks back and forth as it beats, chambers constricting and relaxing around air.
But the more you look around, you might notice that the rafters beyond the brass lamps are made of bone, spine connecting them all. You might notice that the binding on all of the books seems to be an unusual leather. You might notice that teeth have been used as nails.
You almost can't help but notice the strange ... give... under your feet. Whatever is under the carpet seems almost spongy.
You know, instinctively, that the heart is in danger.
But so are you.]

Re: DISCUSSION
It's enough, thankfully. He's thankful. He's relieved, that Phoenix at least chooses to trust him and his choices.
That's why he accepts the jacket and nods, accepts Phoenix's wishes to help somehow. Speaking carefully, for the blood still flowing, making everything iron-thick and difficult. ]
Okay. Yeah. Thanks.
[ wipes his face and, you know what, actually he's just going to bury his face in the jacket a minute. this is fine. ]

Re: DISCUSSION
Hey, Phoenix... can you, uh, not mention to anyone that I can do... this? With Blessings, I mean.
Re: DISCUSSION
I wouldn't. [ Shakes his head, ] I know what it's like to have a blessing you don't want people to know about.
[ for solidly different reasons ]
