♚ tenth step ♚

[polarization]

[ Oh boy, it's been a while Plane! There is a good reason for this, and this reason is a doozy. This is quickly seen when Sefton appears; not only are his wrists strapped to the gurney that he's brought with him, but he's also dressed in a pair of scrubs, barefoot, and trying to wrest his hands free from the bindings in quiet panic. ]

Come on, come on, come on, come on...!

Agh! [ He flops back against the pillow, momentarily defeated and breathing heavily. Looking for all the world like the scared, helpless fifteen year old that he is. ] Dad... Dad... why would you do this...?

[ Standard Sefton disclaimer applies, yes. ]

[Isaac lets go a bit, but leaves one hand on his back]

Take your time...

[ He tries to curl up more, further away from Isaac, but there's nowhere to escape to. Not in his world, not on the Plane. He's utterly trapped.

His breathing hitches, but he doesn't sob. He's not crying - but the increasingly stuffed-up sound of his choppy breathing seems to indicate that he might start up soon. ]

[Oh cue the panic in Isaac. He pops off the plane, returning with a spare wool cloak.]

Do...you want something? Water? Food?

[polarization]

[ A quick, sharp shake of his head. It looks like he's doing everything he can to keep from actually taking that last step and start crying. ]

G—

Go away. [ His voice cracks, at that last part, mangling itself with emotion. ]
