DELILAH EVERGARDEN
"The Gods have forsaken us."
"What's with all this yelling..?"
Delilah was awoken from her brief people watching hobby, the dragoness standing up just as soon as she watched Wormwood pass by her. He was calling for Crow- and.. Something happened to Leroy? Delilah vaguely remembered the talk she had with Leroy, too busy with her own anxieties and focuses to listen. Because Leroy was fine. He was older than her, but he was strong. If something happened.. If..
Before she knew it, a flash of pink raced past towards the buildings around her, ignoring the call of her audience gators behind her. Something was wrong. She could feel it- something was really wrong. She felt sick to her stomach. Sharp talons ripped into the floor underneath her as she raced into the library.
"What's going on? Is Leroy okay?" Delilah asked in a panic, blinking magenta eyes in favor of taking in the sight before her. Her old powers were rusty; x-ray vision, a power learned long ago. When she was the sawbone of Tanglewood many moons ago, she might have been able to use it ever so easily, but it merely glitched when she tried. Flashes of bones, soon glitching into normal vision. She couldn't.
Too rusty.
Taking in the view before her, Delilah heaved in a heavy breath, craning her neck out so her snout could push up against Selby's side, alerting her of his presence. "You need to make sure he's calm- he's probably freaking out right now." She murmured softly, a low breath leaving her lips as she stood up straight, backing away to let Crow in. She wouldn't- she couldn't let this be the end. Delilah, Beck, and Leroy were the last remaining original Tanglers. Beck wasn't well, last Delilah had seen of him.
Why was it always her left over? Why couldn't she have died back then, and stayed dead? Why? Why?
Watch it, flower girl. Never take your eyes off.
It was faint, the voice of the demoness in her head- she hadn't heard Lilith's voice in a while, but soon, the books around Leroy were lifted up into the air, neatly placed into a pile on the ground nearby. From a short glance, it seemed that Leroy was reading how to cook.
Delilah remembered that pie- she wanted to puke just thinking about it, but it was still a happy memory for her. Back when she was too scared to speak the truth. Too scared to speak her mind, too scared of men. The idea of even talking about how she felt was impossible to her. Leroy had helped change that. He'd helped her, even saved her life once.
"Tell me if you need me to go and get anything. We can't keep him here in the library, there isn't enough space." She spoke softly, not wanting to step over those boundaries. But yet, it felt.. Lonely. Who she was, who she used to be. It was because of Leroy that she had opened up more. He was like a brother to her. A big, stubborn older brother.
"Hey, old man.. Crow is coming, so try to steady those breaths for me, okay?" She rumbled softly to the large canine, glancing back to make sure Wormwood and Crow were back. She would stay out of the way, but the fact that people were whispering in the distance had her huffing.
