Goin' Nowhere?

[ECKS]

(ECKS enter his room and head for the closet, he removes the rest of his torn uniform and grans some jeans, a shirt and his favorite old jacket. After putting them on he stops to look out the window.)

ECKS: "Am I really gonna be able to help out. Sure I did alright today, but am I really gonna be able to make a difference like I did before or am I just stuck, goin' nowhere. Maybe I shoulda stayed in the woods, away from people, away from my friends. I don't wanna cause anyone to get hurt. And worse yet, I don't wanna be the one doin' the hurtin.'"

(He just continues to stand there, staring out at the grounds, thinking about his future with the team.)

A soft knock came as Liz called, "Chris? I know you are in zere. I need to talk to you." There were things that still needed to get off the woman's chest and she could only talk to Chris about them. They concerned the healer and Liz's odd relationship.

After several moments of silence, Liz turned away from the door, "Come find me when you are ready to talk." As she walked down the hall she heard the roar of a terrible creature outside the mansion. She quickly teleported to her room, grabbing her swords then outside to the source of all the noise.

(After the door closes behind Liz, ECKS again thinks to himself about everything that's gone on. Part of him heard what she had to say and part of him didn't want to hear it. That part of him just wanted to get away from what happened before, as if it had never happened at all. But he knew he couldn't escape it that easily, he knew that someday he'd have to pay for what he'd done. But not right now. Right now he could get away from it all all. For an hour. Maybe two. Yes. That's what I need, he thinks to himself, to just get away for a while. He turns and heads out of the room, forgetting to close the door behind him.)
