The Hidden Door-A Role Play (AKA The Most Dangerous Coffee Shop II)

Carson shook his head, trying to clear it so he could think. The last time he had seen the sun was... when? It felt like they had been under the dark canopy for forever. He slowly pushed further back into his memories and finally found his most recent one when he was under the sun. He traced the path they had taken in his mind to figure which direction they were facing now. "The last time I saw the sun, we were facing this direction-" He turned to the right, "-and it was in the East. So, that means..." He pointed to the left. "... That way is North." He sighed and rubbed his temples. His brain did not appreciate the extra strain, especially when he was half-starved and slowly becoming weaker

“Are you going to starve? That would be impolite to your host, of which provided a delightful meal for you,” Korim said, not trusting Carson’s directions one bit and waving a sandwich under Carson’s nose.

Ashira slipped into the busy lunchroom. Don't do anything stupid, Blair had said. How exactly was she supposed to do that when the very act of being here was stupid? Well, at least she hadn’t promised. Maybe, just maybe, if she was extremely lucky, no one would recognize her in the large group of kids. She had to wait. She hovered a bit, listening for clues of people who might be willing to escape. The two halves of her brain were in a fierce argument.
This isn’t going to be easy...
Stop that! You knew that when you came in, didn’t you?
Of course I did, it just never fully registered.
Kipp warned you. He wanted you to stay.

Kipp. For what felt like the millionth time, she touched the little marble stone, taking comfort from it. If nothing else, manage to get out so you can give it back to him. Keep going for that. And pray that no guards recognize you.

A bowl of broth clicked down on the table in front of her. Grafe roughly seating himself next to her with his own bowl, and a scowl on his face.

"What are you doing here? Tell me she hasn't been caught." He whispered urgently.

Take suddenly stopped playing with his drawstrings. Completely still for a moment before he slowly turned his head to look at Blair. Her eyes were closed, assuming she was scared of what his reaction would be. Her confession was out of the blue, never expecting her to bring that up so soon. He sighed and clicked his tongue, too tired to give an over dramatic response. “I know... I saw.” he muttered, “You were seriously stupid and you’ll regret it.” He was irritated, upset with her choice and it shone on his face because he remembered doing the exact same thing. Take returned his attention to what was going on outside. His response and behavior was unusual and cold, possibly even worse than exploding in a fit of rage.

Blair flinched, forcing her eyes open. Somehow, his disapproving quiet was worse then a rampage. With rage, she knew out to respond. With more rage, violently, harshly. Stoic coldness, though...she didn't know how to handle it, how to react or respond. And hearing it from him was even worse.
"Yeah? Well, I've done a lot of stupid things. Stupid things I regret. I'll just add it to the list." She lifted her head, looking at him. Her facade cracked the slightest when she saw the irritation in his face, her brows drawing together slightly. "It was my only chance. I would never have gotten out of there unless I did. I couldn't lose the chance to get Emma back. To get you back." She looked back outside, unsure whether she should feel guilty or not. "Not like I can't handle him. Done it before, I'll do it again. I got you back, and we'll find Kipp and Emma, and that's all that matters."

"What are you doing here? Tell me she hasn't been caught." He whispered urgently.

“No, she hasn’t, but I came back because I couldn’t leave everyone here. I’m getting people out. Do you think you can help? I have to be out within the next couple hours. I can’t risk them recognizing me.”

“No, she hasn’t, but I came back because I couldn’t leave everyone here. I’m getting people out. Do you think you can help? I have to be out within the next couple hours. I can’t risk them recognizing me.”

Grafe furrowed his brows together, studying her face. "I know a few. Jarran might know a few more." He answered, looking around at the people near by suspiciously. "It'll be harder to escape with more people involved. You shouldn't have come back." He said, lifting the his bowl of soup to his mouth. "Have you eaten? You should eat the soup. You'll blend in better if you look like everyone else."

“I haven’t eaten for days,” she admitted. “But I really don’t think I can. I don’t exactly look like everyone else as it is.” She gestured to her clothes and hair that were
still dripping wet from the rain.

Take stayed silent, not sparing Blair a glance as if he didn’t hear a word she said. But his bottled emotions were starting to reach a breaking point, where everything would spill out. He was suffering on the inside, emotional suffering from what he had been living with for the past few months after he burned Blair the first time. He was truly scared. Scared of burning her again, and now that this deal has been made, it was bound to happen for sure. And he was usually never scared of anything. His irritated face started to waver, flexing the muscles in his cheeks so he stayed stiff, but his eyes were becoming affected by his need to cry. He opened his mouth a little to speak, finally settling his eyes on her. “And... I’ll end up burning you again... leaving you scars even worse than last time...” his breath trembled, “I don’t want.. keep living with the fact that you’ll have to cover up more of your body because of my doing... that I’m adding to more of your scars.” His face struggled to keep its composure, so he tightened up his hoodie so that it hid his face away, leaving his nose poking out. He felt like the vulnerable little kid he used to be, the one who felt fragile and couldn’t do a thing to stop himself from hurting others. He despised feeling helpless.

He gave her a sideways glance, he knew how to make people blend in, and had several different ways that they had considered for escape. "If you'd like, I can make you blend in. And we can be on our way out of here in the next ten minutes." He said absently taking a long gulp from his bowl that filled his cheeks. He then smiled broadly as he swallowed. It was a lot easier planning a get away when he wasn't terrified something would happen to Seina.

“How can you do that?” she asked, interested in his offer.
