Glyph slowly blinked midway through the night, confused for a momemnt where he was and why he felt like a car had hit him, then he remembered the fight and groaned as he sat up and moved the army around him to his lap... wait arm. His eyes dropped to the half naked form of the girl before he went wide eyed and just froze there, looking at her less than a foot away trying to figure out what to do in this situation.

 

[Nyx Saranei]

Nyx remained sleeping, through she did tighten her hold on Glyph and pull him closer. Her head now rested on his stomach as she proceeded to nuzzles him. The Shi'ido was back to her usual black haired appearance as well and indeed she was in her underwear. She mumbled a bit in her sleep as she continued to cuddle him. [member="Glyph"]

"U-uh miss..." He tapped her shoulder trying to wake her without touching her too much that he would get beaten. "M-miss Nyx, wake up..." Glyph tried to lightly tap and shake her, just enough to wake her up and not make him look like a fool that out of everything in this world he had no idea what to do in this sort of situation.

 

[Nyx Saranei]

"Oh hi, sorry you're really warm and fun to cuddle," the now sober Shi'ido mumbled sleepily as he shook her awake. She shrunk down to about a foot in height and climbed up onto his shoulder. She giggled in his ear and smirked. She enjoyed the fact that he was a bit unnerved by the situation. She should probably get dressed, but he seemed uncomfortable with her in her underwear and that added to the fun. [member="Glyph"]

"Hey stop that, get off, i uh..." He didn't try to grab or swat her away, still worried he might touch... her or worse hurt her as he was simply trying to get her to stop from her teasing about how he acts and soon he couldn't even look in her direction as his face turned scarlet. "Mind uh... backing away from me face..."

 

[Nyx Saranei]

Nyx hopped off his shoulder and grew back to her normal size. She threw on a simply black dress and then shrunk again. She changed her hair color to light blue again and her eyes to a dark blue. This time she was only about six inches tall. She climbed up onto his shoulder again and giggled once more. "Do you mind if I sit here while we talk? It's kinda fun," the playful Shi'ido replied. [member="Glyph"]

"Uh sure... first, why were you laying in the bed... with your body close to me..." He turned his head and found his face less than an inch from the six inch little shi'do that he had no idea what to say to her, confused by her appearance in such a way.

 

[Nyx Saranei]

"I was tired and you were in my bed. I didn't think you'd mind that much. I'm sorry Mr. Glyph, if I offend you I promise I'll make it up to you somehow," the little Shi'ido promised. She noticed a pocket on his shirt and climbed inside it, stilling smiling.

"Are you hungry? The cantina down the street has good food in addition to its drinks. I promise no one will poison you," she continued, smiling up at him from his pocket. [member="Glyph"]

"Well i suppose that you could atleast take me out to eat before you tried to cuddle up again no?" Glyph sighed as he wondered how he got himself in this sort of situation. Normally this stuff ended with him in a hospital bed, not going out to eat somewhere with a person he met for five whole minutes.

 

[Nyx Saranei]

"Well let's get going then!" Nyx replied cheerfully as she climbed out of his pocket and grew to normal size again. She lead him into the living room and then paused for a minute.

"Uh... I'll be right back... Forgot something," she raced back into her room and grabbed a death stick and belt off if her dresser. She renewed her high and sat there for a minute before pulling the needle out of her arm and exiting the room. She ignored everything melting around her and led Glyph out the door.

He saw where she had put the Deathstick in her arm and sighed as he stopped and looked at her. "Look, if you are going to continue that i am leaving. Those are illegal and will kill you and i don't need to get caught with a druggy by the Sith... again."

 

[Nyx Saranei]

"Give me a chance... I'm not that bad... Please? I just... look living here... It isn't easy! I never wanted to start using these stupid things, but growing up on the streets... Well it changes you. I promise I won't get you into trouble. All I'm asking for is one chance at being a friend," Nyx replied for once sounding sad and lacking her usual cocky grin. She didn't know why she was spilling her guts to him. The guy just had something trustworthy about him and she found it easy to talk to him. She also didn't really want him to leave.

He faltered and blinked, confused for a moment why she suddenly broke down like that before sighing. "Bring out all of your deathsticks first. Then let me destroy them, and i can feel your feelings and look into your mind if i need to so i will know if you are lying about that being all of them when you bring them out."

 

[Nyx Saranei]

"A-all of them? C-can't I quit slowly? T-try to lessen the amount I use? Please?!" Nyx looked terrified now. She didn't want to go through withdrawal. The very idea of it scared her. It was an extremely painful process that usually took days. She whined a bit as she stared up at Glyph. She had a feeling he wouldn't consent but she had to try. [member="Glyph"]

 

[Edric Vanyan]

He simply stared, a few long seconds of kind but serious eyes, bearing down on her before he turned and started to walk away, his hand in his pocket. "Good bye." Sure he was being a bit harsh, but if she truly wanted to quit he would have little time to help her, and this was the most efficient way time wise... he would have to stick around her though throughout the process, it would be cruel to leave her in her state of withdrawl afterwards alone.

[Nyx Saranei]

"No! Don't go! I.... Fine! I'll do it okay? Just... Just wait here!" She called to him. The Shi'ido was on the verge of tears. She had honestly thought about quitting many times before, but withdrawal scared her and she knew if she tried to do things on her own she would never make it. Alot of people didn't realize that withdrawal from a drug could even be fatal. She sighed as she turned to go to her room. She grabbed a small bag and threw all of her deathsticks inside it, collecting them from the various places where they were hidden aruond the house. When she moved to give the Glyph the back it had probably forty deathsticks inside it. [member="Glyph"]

 

[Edric Vanyan]

Glyph simply looked inside and decided he didn't have the time to sit here and break every one of them one by one, so he simply grabbed one of the grenades on his hip and linked it to a datapad. "Follow me if you would please." He started to walk towards a bit of cover, it was just a concussion grenade, but still, he would rather not get a piece of glass in the eye when this happened.

[Nyx Saranei]

Nyx followed behind him rather numbly. She was growing more and more terrified as she felt her high beginning to wear off. This would be the last time she would be using and she was scared for the withdrawal. She heard that the symptoms steadily grew in the first 48 hours. At the 48 hour mark they peaked and stayed that way until the 72 hour mark before slowly decreasing. She shivered in fear. That was at least three days of pain before it slowly began to lessen. The Shi'ido wanted to cry. She didn't bother to duck down. Maybe the glass shards would kill her before she even started to get sick. [member="Glyph"]

"Get down you idiot." Good thing about a remote detonator was he could control when it went off and pulled her down before pressing detonate. Inn a single moment the normally non leathal concussion wave burst out and shattered every last one of the death sticks, leaving him to sigh and watch her now, making sure she didn't do something immensely stupid.

 

[Nyx Saranei]

Nyx allowed him to pull her down, completely devoid of any emotion. The drugs were what had kept her cheerful. They actually made her capable of feeling something. Without them, what did she have? She was beginning to rethink her decision. She was so desperate to have a friend that she let the only thing capable of making her feel anything other than emptiness be taken from her. She was suddenly over come with what she could only assume was anger.

"This better be worth it," she growled, standing up and glaring at the pile of glass where her deathsticks once were. [member="Glyph"]
