[ 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. ]

[ ...! Sefton's face contorts, confused and helpless and angry and he simply curls in on himself, placing his face against his knees and his arms over his ears. ]

[Okay so maybe that wasn't the best approach.]

You're scared. I know this. But what are you going to accomplish by denying yourself the things you need?

You have clothes now, and there's plenty of food on the Plane. It's certainly enough to get you grounded until you can figure out what to do about home.

Sh-shut up. Just—stop.

I'll give you some time alone, then. [But she will be back, eventually, and she /will/ find him.

She gathers her skirt and looks down at the poor blunette.] It'll get figured out. Don't worry, Sefton.

[And she drops from the Plane. ajakl;sdf?!

damn psychic bitch.]
