[ He pokes the tip of the tusk a bit, smiling when he realizes it isn't sharp like his own teeth. Then the confused tiefling touches his own ear, almost getting tangled in his horn as he does so.
They're very different, but Fjord really loves Molly despite that. It's nice to know, and less nice to think that this person he loves is gone. he's trying so hard to remember, but there's nothing.
Sighing, he leans a bit against the half-orc and curls his tail close. ]
[ Oddly, he can recognise the tone in the word. Having spent so long with Molly by his side for the past half-year, it's not so difficult even with only one word at Molly's disposal. ]
It's okay, sweetheart. I'll fix this. I don't know what's happened to you but I'm not going anywhere.
[ His arms wrap around him in a hug, nosing at his hair to drop kisses there. Just as Fjord is rubbing Molly's arm the device goes off with a message from Gilmore which Fjord gratefully responds to, smiling down at Molly. ]
Hey, Gilmore's going to bring us something to eat, isn't that nice of him? Your favourite drink, too. Hot cocoa!
[ If he doesn't stay positive, Fjord isn't sure how he will cope with this. Knowing Gilmore is on the way is a big relief. ]
[ The man is gentle again, soft and kind in his words. There are kisses on his head, arms around him and he doesn't recognize any of it. It's so strange. He pulls away a little bit as the thing Fjord was talking to beeps, confused for moment and tail finally making a small sway under him.
'Molly' doesn't know what hot chocolate is, but maybe it would help. He'll do anything just to make his head stop hurting so much.
Nodding, the tiefling takes Fjord's hand again. For both of them. ]
[ He sighs and gives a small whine as he's kissed, gesturing to his head. It hurt so much, overwhelmed and stressed out of his soul from all of this. Formerly-Molly is both sad and frustrated in one, feeling like he wants to kick something and cry at the same time.
How was he supposed to deal with this?
Instead he just buries his head in Fjord's chest, hiding himself from everything else. If he can't see it, it won't make his brain tired. ]
[ He doesn't, he can't, but he can imagine a little of what Molly is going through when, months and months ago, Fjord forgot himself for a while too. His memory of that is weak but he holds onto Molly and strokes his hair all the same, hands rubbing over his back to give him something gentle to focus on. ]
[ Shaun balances a tray in one hand as he gently knocks on the door to Fjord and Molly's room. He's rarely been here staying mostly to the Wizardhaus but Fjord had seemed so distressed.
He knows what it's like to lose a love. He doesn't want Fjord to go through that pain alone. ]
It's Shaun. [ He pokes his head in, his voice soft and gentle, not his usual booming exuberance. ] I brought you a little something to drink and snack on.
[ He stands in the doorway and uses mage hand to send the tray over to the pair in bed. ]
[ The knock startles the empty soul and even more so when someone new enters. (So many colors, purple, purple like him!) He jerks away from Fjord's arms and instead hides behind the half-orc, pulling the coat tight around himself. ]
E-empty?
[ His voice is quiet and lacking any hints of the confident, bright person he used to be, now reduced to one word and a mind that is overwhelmed - like a newborn child, yet adult at the same time. ]
It's okay, Molly! It's just Shaun. See? Just Shaun.
[ Fjord wraps an arm backwards around what he can feel of Molly, looking to Shaun with a silent plea for help. I have no idea what happened! his widened eyes yell, while outwardly he keeps his voice low and steady. ]
Thank you for the food, we were getting sooo hungry. Hello, Shaun! Have you met Molly ... ?
[ Gently emphasising the name as he pats Molly behind, the stage-voice he uses is purposefully light. ]
[ Molly's still unsure, but seems to calm a bit thanks to Fjord's reassurance and Shaun's calmness. He blinks at the mention of purpleness, looking down at his hand with a small smile and then showing it to the sorcerer happily.
He knows purple. He knows lavender and violet and plum. ]
[ Holding back a sigh, he wraps an arm around Molly to resettle him and gives Shaun a significant look. ]
Maybe we can introduce him to the Clerics once he's not so jumpy. [ The tray is brought closer and Fjord taps Molly on the arm to point it out, continuing to talk to Gilmore. ] Thank you for doing this, it's a massive help.
Yes, you are incredibly fabulous Molly. It's why you're one of my favorite people. You are not afraid of color and that's a wonderful thing.
[ Since Fjord doesn't feel the clerics are necessary, Shaun stops messaging. ]
Anything you two need today, you can ask me. I'm happy to help. [ Truly, he is. He can't imagine how unsettled and scared those two must feel right now. If he can do something as simple as this, he will. ]
[ The tiefling is still hiding a bit behind Fjord, only poking his head out a little under Fjord's soothing arm. He's so very different from the confident person he's been before, making himself small rather than taking up space with his personality. ]
Empty.
[ Molly says in return to Shaun's words, and is then distracted by the food. Curiously, he he picks at the offered breakfast and puts a piece of bread in his mouth. It's good, but his nose leads him to the hot cocoa. He picks the mug up and disappears with his treat behind Fjord's body again. ]
[ Molly seems content behind Fjord right now, sipping hot chocolate with an entranced purr. Any noise that he hasn't heard before makes him twitch, though, and that's easily felt when he's leaning slightly against the half-orc's back. Even things like someone walking outside is so new and strange that it is overwhelming. ]
Maybe. I don't know, Fjord. I'm guessing here. Maybe Molly needed to be empty for awhile. But when you look at him, scared and unsettled, I can't think this is actually more emotionally healing.
[ Shaun shrugs, wishing he could be more helpful. He's a sorcerer and a businessman. He's not really a cleric. ]
[ Molly sticks his nose out again from behind Fjord, giving them both a confused look. he doesn't know what they're really talking about, but it's making the green man - Fjord - sad. ]

Hello, Fjord. Hello, Molly. Lovely to see you this morning.

Molly is especially looking lovely. I do so enjoy his particular shade of purple.
