Lune felt the other woman's hand on her shoulder, and she turned toward the woman. Reaching up to grasp that hand gently, for support or to comfort the other woman, perhaps for a bit of both. Lune's skin touched the woman's and her eyes widened. A confusing influx of comforting emotions and terrifying images assaulted her, at first Lune did nothing but stand there, then in a moment she had crumbled to the floor, sobbing. Where had such terrible images come from? Lune didn't understand, but more than that, they had been frightening. No, far more than just frightening, they had been terrifying. Lune covered her face with her hands, sobbing, all she wanted was to go home, to return to her gilded cage. Anything would be better than this strange place, and those terrifying images she had seen.
Kurako suddenly regretted asking for help when the other consented, the half elf shifted on his feet and then moved to take Solaris. That hand coming out of his pocket, exposed. He grimaced slightly at it himself, then he was pulling Solaris close, cradling the man against his chest in that classic princess/bridal style way of carrying someone. Lavender eyes found the unicorn with a slight hint of surprise and disapproval in them. It seemed odd to him that the unicorn, if it really was a unicorn, had decided against seeing to the well being of two maidens. Weren't unicorns drawn to maidens? At least, in Kurako's world they were, and they were extremely rare, perhaps things were different in the unicorn's world?
He fell into step next to the man with glasses, and he shook his head slightly as the unicorn asked such an unimportant question. "Wouldn't it be better, for one such as you to check on the maidens?" He sent a meaningful glance towards the unicorn. The half-elf had worded his sentence rather deliberately, though he was unsure about this unicorn. Perhaps this one didn't like maidens at all. When he entered the room, Kurako moved to lay Solaris on the table, gently. Once that was done, he took some steps back, that black lined, exposed hand returning to his pocket immediately. They had no doubt seen it, but that didn't matter, he wasn't going to encourage their questioning by leaving himself so exposed, and the half elf would try to avoid any questions they did ask. Mostly because he probably wouldn't know any answers anyway, well nothing complicated at least.
