with grace in your heart and flowers in your hair
Everybody seemed to miss the outdoors. The grass, the sky. The sound of the wind howling in their ears. Hazel missed it, she supposed - the aesthetic of it. But it was never the scenery itself that captivated her or kept her within the Ascendants; it was always the choice. The option to leave the observatory and stay outside until the sun went down, or after that. It was the raw freedom of the decision that had Hazel so entranced with her current postition. Now that the option was taken away again...she didn't know. She felt like she was shutting down all over again.
Versaillespalace's first yell was what brought the girl around to the main door, carefully following the light of the other's aura so as not to go by hearing alone. "What's -" Vi cut her off (though admittedly, Hazel's voice had barely risen, so there was little to interrupt), clearly talking to someone on the other side. Hazel jumped, wincing at the volume of Vi's voice, trying to hold down the small surge of panic that caught in her throat. Swallowing against it, she strained to hear who was yelling from the outside.
"Moon?" She queried, confused. Then, louder, more excited: "Moon!" He'd been captured, third after Thea and Cass. Just...there one moment, and the next? Whisked away. Gone like he'd never existed. Hazel had noticed it near immediately: the lack of carelessness among conversations, the way Peri seemed a little more on edge. Now that he was back, she felt a rush of relief, pressing her ear to the door to catch what he said. She was tempted to ask if he meant Mars in retrograde, but thought this might not be the time. It was funny, though, and brought a smile to dance on her lips. She ended up asking anyway, unable to stop herself: "Do...do you mean Mars in retrograde?" She purred, on the verge of laughing.
Hazel waited until Vi was finished speaking before she opened her mouth again. "Suite is good around medicine - if there's something wrong, find her." She sighed, glancing up at Versailles with a look of small defeat. "But yeah, we're trapped. There's not a whole lot of supplies in here, either; we really ought to learn to stock up better..." She trailed off.
