Chapter Three (C): Jake & Thorchan

[Aria Blackthorn]

(OOC so after three attempts, I finally got my rolls)

Suki took a moment and closed her eyes. She drew in a deep breath and tried to calm her mind. It took a long while for her to get her mind set on what she was doing. "I am sorry, but there are so many smells and sounds around us" Suki said.

True to her statement, more guards had shown up. Someone was talking to Kimiko in the distance.

"I can't!" she said in frustration. "I am blind.....not some super person."

Her mind panicked as she tried to answer Adrian's question. Her breathing raced and she became visibly frustrated. After a few minutes she managed to calm her mind and her let go of her frustration.

"I can hear Kimiko talking about seeing her mother. I think she is still scared. I can feel the engines. They are growing softer. I think they are shutting down." She said then paused.

She held on to Adrian's arm tightly. This world of darkness that she was forced to live in was at time terrifying. Knowing that someone was near helped her face the darkness. "I smell gun powder." she said softly. "Blood" she added but was more unsure of what she was smelling. "Burnt flesh?" she added finally.

She turned in the direction of Adrian, "something else" she added softly. "Some kind of melon. Sweet, and with flowers?"

After that last statement she looked down and suddenly felt foolish. 'Sweet melon and flowers' she questioned herself silently. "I am sorry that I am not much help" she said disappointed in her effort.

What Adrian suddenly realized was that Suki was smelling the soft hint of Kimiko's perfume. A scent that even he had missed, till Suki brought it up.
