Jailbreak...Sorta

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe was not good at the whole being cooped up thing. She had never liked having to stay in hospitals or anything like that. However, this time was worse than any others.

This time...Phoebe was scared.

Wards hadn't been put up around South Attic yet, and Phoebe was terrified that more attackers would come while she was there alone.

She had friends...she had teachers...dangerous ones that could keep her safe. They knew she was supposed to be out of class this week, but if she told them that she was scared to be alone...maybe she wouldn't get yelled at too much for leaving her bed?

It was for this reason that Phoebe was seen wrestling with her wheelchair getting out of the elevator on the lower floor. She had only hit her leg twice and she was fighting the tears from pain.

She turned the wheelchair and started making her way to where the classrooms were.

Camulus is still wrestling with his Gaidhlig notes and seriously considering some grevious bodily harm to his poor, defenseless Walkman when he sees the lone figure wheeling down the hall. His eyes flare. "Phoebe?!" he booms.

[sensethevisions]

Shit! Shit! Shit!

Phoebe swallows and forces her expression into one that she hopes doesn't show that she's in pain.

She struggles to turn the wheelchair and then smiles. "Hi, Camulus. Uhmm... what's up?"

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

He strides over to her and looms. "Don't. Phoebe, I was told you were attacked. You are in a wheelchair. And you are clearly in pain. Don't try and hide it from me - I used to cause it for fun. What are you doing out of bed?"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe has never lied to Camulus and she wasn't about to start now. "Honestly? Until Cole gets done with his classes, or my sister does, I feel a lot safer in your class than in my attic room alone."

Stroking Camulus' ego gets her +1 Protection from Baddies.

Camulus relents, grumbling. "Very well. But Belthazor informed me that your attackers had been . . . taken care of." He steps behind her wheelchair and pauses, with a quizzical look as if to ask if he could push her the rest of the way to the classroom.

[sensethevisions]

"Camulus, I would really appreaciate some help with this thing. I'm not used to it yet." She nods. "The ones who attacked me were...but the ones who want me dead may send more."

Camulus takes over, making sure she's all tucked in without making it look like he was mothering. As they set off for his classroom, his frown at her break-out became a glower. "Want you dead? A ghraidh, what have you been getting yourself into?"

[[Is this before or after class? Just so I know if I should mention that she's there . . .]]

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe sighs faintly. "A stór," the Gaelic phrase slips out without her noticing. "It seems being a witch makes demons want to kill me."


[[OOC:Before class?]]

Camulus smiled a bit. "I wouldn't know." He sobered. "Phoebe, you will always find safe haven with me. While I'm sure a great segment of the student body would feel differently, I protect my own."

They reach the classroom, and he leans around her to open the door and push her inside, making sure the door closes tightly behind them. He crouches beside her. "Phoebe, I don't think you know this. My sarcophagus isn't simply a resting place. It restores this human body. It can even bring humans back from the brink of death or beyond. Will you use it?"

[[Right-o. Oh, and continued usage of the sarcophagus is addictive and destroys your soul. Just an FYI if you didn't know. Not that Cammie would tell her. Or is aware of it.]]

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe lays her hand on his. "Camulus, I appreciate the offer, but what would I do if healing me took the energy that it might someday need to help you? I couldn't do that to you."

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

Camulus smiles. An unpleasant smile, but one not directed at her. "A ghraidh, I can survive far longer without food or water than you can. I can heal wounds to this human body far more quickly than you can. The sarcophagus merely . . . helps."

He stands and moves over to the stone behemoth, running one hand along the knotted carvings. "A sarcophagus like this can sustain a life for hundreds of years. Its power source is almost inexhaustible, and I can replace it easily. There is no way that you could . . . use it up."
