[ oh dear. alex makes a dash to try and grab her lil' t-rex but the t-rex is already sort of. tumbling out of the way. so she scoops her up and holds her instead -- where the t-rex kicks her little feets grumpily. ]
... ?
[ she knocks on elsa's door, even if it is ajar. ]
[there's no immediate response—but the lizard seems to be tippy-tapping around inside, giving alex an expectant look. he mlems his eye again, and zips up the bunk bed to the top bunk, diving under the blankets.
there's a pause, and then a hiss of steam, like water on a hotplate.]
[ she barely has time to note elsa looks like she's been crying, before she's thrown into that memory and--
well.
the horse isn't a surprise because elsa had mentioned it before, it must be the one she mentioned right? the norr? there are a few moments of fear when she sees elsa go flying in the memory, hitting the water, being dragged under currents and then--
she's back in the room, wide eyed and surprised. ]

Elsa?

--Ow, Bruni. Not all of a sudden.
no subject
alex shimmeys through the door and peeks around. ]
Is that a friend of yours?
no subject
well, she looks like she's been crying a lot. the room is full of bubbles—and as soon as she sees alex, she gasps.]
No!
You shouldn't be in here! If one of the bubbles--!
[pop!
hey, it's the water horse! also, this clip is sped up, so... that's something.]

...That one wasn't as bad.
no subject
It's been like this all week, huh? [ is this better or worse than when their emotions were being broadcast for all to feel? ]
Sorry, your lizard was running around and I didn't know what it was. I did knock, but---
no subject
[she pushes her hair out of her face, and leans on her hand. she doesn't look fine!]
no subject
You don't seem fine.
... You said that one wasn't a bad one. Other people have seen worse?
no subject
[she struggles again, and gives up.]
I can't see most of them. I don't really... know what you're seeing. Everything is a blur—a fuzzy noise.
no subject
A few of mine have been like that. It seems like it's ... probably memories this place has already taken from us.
I might recognise someone in them, but not... what was happening, or why.
no subject
[...]
I've lost everyone.
no subject
no subject
They're all gone.
no subject
All of them? You... literally don't remember anyone at all?
no subject
No one.
Just... people. Other people that I... I know them, but they're not my... important people.
no subject
That's....
I'm so sorry, Elsa.
no subject
It's all... fine.
[sigh.]
It's probably best if you don't stay. I'm not particularly good company, at the moment.
no subject
And I don't mind if you're "good company" or not -- I don't think hiding away here by yourself is going to help either.
no subject
I don't think anything is going to help, Alex.
That's the truth. So... I just want to be alone, for a while.
no subject
Is your friend staying with you? [ bwuni ]
no subject
[bruni helpfully bounds down elsa's arm to sit on the blankets, tongue lolling out.]
He's the elemental spirit of fire.
no subject
[ this one is significantly smaller and cuter. ]
He seems a lot more portable.
no subject
He's pretty portable himself, actually—once you freeze him.
no subject
[ of course you can freeze a water spirit ]
He's not just... in his full horse form? But ice?
