goldenluxury "goldie" roux — female — the typhoon — tags
the world around her blurred a few times, the sounds hard to hear and a ringing faint in her ears. it really was getting the worse the longer she stayed up. the pain from her head made her disorientated. vanessa's presence was hardly noticed and she wobbled slightly around. she knew enough about injuries to be able to figure out it was likely a concussion. kind of like her papa had gotten during the meeting that felt so long ago. despite everything, she still couldn't stop thinking about him.
she stayed quiet as vanessa ordered someone to help, barely hearing it. she made an attempt to decipher it, though, only picking up "...medic or find some...treat her.." in the end. ugh. it hurt to listen but she needed to focus on it. she wanted to be sure she could hear others. it would keep her from thinking, at least. she could have told vanessa what to grab, but she was focusing so hard on hearing that she felt unable to speak. so, she would say nothing. someone could probably handle it better than her, anyway. she might accidentally mix something up. she was no expert by any means. she had just wanted to help make sure her papa and everyone else could be okay.
a white creature would be the next to arrive, and it would take her a few moments to remember who she was. the girl knew that she knew her, though. the first question she could slightly make out. the important parts, anyway. "...know where you are"? of course she did. home. it wasn't the same as before, at all, but it was still home. "home." she managed out simply, her voice quiet now. she breathed for a few moments silently, her head pains growing worse as activity around her grew. she said something else. what was she saying? eat...eat seeds. poppy seeds. she looked at them for a few moments, not reacting immediately.
she knew what they did. they made pain hurt less. she slowly reached for them, chewing them slowly. she remembered the other's name now. argus. argus' next set of words didn't fully reach her, but she wouldn't care either way. she trusted the female knew what she was doing. she wouldn't react to any stinging and would let argus work as needed without protest. the stinging that would come wouldn't be nearly as bad as everything else right now. it was only a minor, temporary inconvenience.
another voice arose and it would cause her to focus on listening again. this one was more familiar. not because they talked more, but because it seemed to hold a higher significance to her. family. what was the female's name? she was a roux. papa's sister. but, the name wouldn't come. whatever, it didn't matter. she focused on the female's words, feeling a little relieved. to hear her introduce herself without her even needing to ask. rose. rosemary. that was it. she asked how she was feeling. ugh.
"bad," she answered honestly at first, thinking about what she should say. "i can't remember what happened. it's...hard to think." she said next, figuring that would be more helpful. her words came out slowly as she reminded herself of how to say them. this could be the easiest way for them to know what was going on. she didn't want to talk a lot right now. [b]"it hurts." there was really no other way to describe it. and, she wasn't just talking about the injuries. it hurt in general. papa is dead. it hurt.
but, these thoughts would immediately be distracted as she felt water gently run down her, along with the presence of her brother. oh no. he had been worried about her. oh no. "it's not your fault," she responded quickly now, finding these words easier to think of than everything else. goldie did not want for her brother to feel bad about this. not for a second. "i wanted to be alone and then...something happened. please don't feel bad," she assured, her words slowing down again as she tried to explain the situation. not that she really knew the situation too well at this point, herself. "i'll be okay. s-sorry for worrying you."
