[You might hear the sound of heavy, rasping breaths and stumbling feet before you see the person the sounds are coming from; Allen looks like he's been running for a while and has been forced by exhaustion to slow to a walk, though he's still hurrying along. He's holding his cane tightly in his right hand as usual - but his left is clamped tightly

...

[Have a familiar small child hugging your leg, blindsprout. Now is not a good time for sarcastic jokes or namecalling.]

Hey, what's wrong?

[sightlessclown]

[chokes back a sound that might have wanted to be a sob and drops to his knees to hug Bitty, though he's careful not to really squish him]

You're okay, right?

[onepetalshort]

Huh? I'm fine.

[Bitty hugs back, obviously just fine.]

Didja have a nightmare or something?

[sightlessclown]

I... I guess you could say that. [so relieved that Bitty's really okay. And trying very hard not to think about how he'd seen him in Rhode's illusion]

[onepetalshort]

What happened?

[It's okay blindman, bitty's not leaving.]

[sightlessclown]

[draws a deep breath and lets it out slowly, trying to figure out how to explain this]

Do you know anyone named Rhode, Yuu?

[onepetalshort]

Nuh uh. Sounds like a stupid name though.

[sightlessclown]

[that makes him laugh a little and he nods] It is a stupid name. She's very much not a nice person. And she can make you see things that aren't really there... she can do a lot of other awful things too, but that seems to be her favourite thing to do. It's like being trapped in a really bad nightmare that you can't wake up from.
