Seven, in which Angel is asleep too deep for a paranoid birdkid

[talks_to_fish]

[Angel lies on her stomach, head in her arms, golden locks obscuring what little of her face might be visible. She's on the roof, as she is so often, sleeping peacefully. And dangerously close to the brink, dangerously close to falling

[Jack, having finished his first long nap, has come out onto the roof to have a smoke and take the air. He would appear to have just woken up, as his hair is sticking up along one side of his head, and there are red marks on his cheek from his pillow. He takes a deep breath, rolls his shoulders, and--spots Angel.

The fact that she has wings is the furthest thing from his mind. All he sees is a little girl, sleeping very near the edge of a roof. Without hesitation, he kneels beside her and begins to pull her carefully into his arms, with the intention of carrying her somewhere a little safer.]

Angel, honey, that's dangerous. [His voice is a low murmur, still a little blurred from sleep.]

[Her first reaction is freezing up, which within moments turns into her curling up to get herself into the right position to kick and push her captor away.

Then, after a very violent moment - and birdkids are strong, so it might hurt despite sleepiness and disadvantagous situation- the voice registers and she stops, catching her breath, trying to process the situation.

Waking up.]

Ow!
[Having had experience with his own girls, he manages not to let go, but also not to latch on too tightly; however, that is going to bruise, and he wrinkles his nose against the pain. He shifts the bulk of his body to get between her and the edge of the roof.]

It's okay, Angel. It's me, Jack.

[She blinks groggily, staring at him. Then, after a few more seconds, realizing who he is, she nods slowly.]

I'm sorry, Jack.

[Rei is unperturbed and continues to speak in her normal, neutral tone.]

I am not Nudge.

[Elaine will wait an hour or so before replying, hoping she doesn't disturb the young girl.]

Hi, Angel. [She peers through the video, wondering if Angel's still asleep or not.]

[talks_to_fish]

Elaine.

[She's awake now, but not moving when she hears Elaine's voice.]

How are you?

[demiurgos_girl]

I'm okay. And you? How were you during the event?

[talks_to_fish]

...I hate hospitals.
