Thread: Agency 666 (QC X Ryax)

Her voice was cheerful, she didn't even look angry at him in the least. A sigh of relief escaped Richard as he returned her smile with visually nervous tones covered up with a thankful nod, letting himself be guided to the core of the room without his previous chaperone. Despite her good intentions of trying to calm him down, Richard's response was still a slight jump at the unexpected connection. However, her efforts weren't completely in vain. It might seem minor to some, but the very simple fact that her touch had been as gentle as it was helped him to begin the process of healing. The stark contrast between her and the terrifying monster, the two experiences like polar opposites. This was in no means a way to say that he had become comfortable with her presence now, but he was ever so slightly more so. A semblance of trust to grow, bud and bloom with time, yet only a small seed in the moment of time they shared right now. Guided to the sofa of her choice, he sat himself down quite stiffly. His legs slightly apart, his back stiff and leaning back against the sofa rest. His hands squarely on his lap as a defiant act against his feelings to cross his arms and flee the scene. Elsa's friendly and calm demeanor was a blessing, she truly knew how to calm a terrified soul. Together they would help him settle his soul. And there it was. The connection had successfully been forged and attached. A confession he didn't expect at all that piqued his interest and stayed his nervous heart. Wait, no, please Stay as you are. he needed to deal with her actual form or he would lose the battle against himself again You came here... from... somewhere else? So... what place was that. Hell? a glimpse of humor if there ever was one Sorry... I don't know where you... your kind, succubuses, succubi, comes from... apologizing for his bad form, he stayed silent for a while Slowly The fright within him faded Slowly So... Again, sorry about before. My name is Richard. It's nice to meet you Elsa. his voice steadied, poise returning to his spirit As you guessed right, I've been rather violently thrown into this... this new reality of ours. Can you imagine that the first contact I had was ....... And so Richard told his story, pouring one feeling out after the other until the surface had been skimmed and thoughts and feelings had need to settle back down once more A tremendous relief had by now nestled within him, both spiritually and visibly. He was no longer sitting stiff, instead relaxed against the back of the sofa, hands folded across his stomach and his gaze up towards the ceiling He had become reasonably comfortable in Elsa's presence, his mind and body returning to normal after the heavy stress of the day I really needed to get all that off my chest. I haven't really given myself the chance up until now. Thank you, Elsa. Richard smiled at her. Not a nervous smile. A friendly smile. A thankful smile A soft sigh Unless there's more that you want to know right now, then I should probably head back to Gra... my room and hope she doesn't kick my ass for making her wait so long to come back A playful but nervous grin across his lips while he made his preparations to get up and head back
