"Not very well. And I can't anymore," she whispered, wrapping her arms around herself.

[Light Bringer]

"I won't be gone for too long, I'm sure you'll be able to sleep on your own for, like, one night." Troy said, stroking Malia's hair.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"I don't want you to go," she whimpered. She knew she was being selfish but she didn't care. She just wanted Troy.

[Light Bringer]

That made Troy's heart ache, he pulled Malia close and held her against his chest. "I know." He said softly. "But it's my responsibility to go."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Malia buried her head in his chest. She held him close to her and wished that she never had to let go.

[Light Bringer]

Troy was silent for a little while, content with just standing here and holding Malia but he knew that they couldn't stay like this forever. He did have to go.

Lincoln came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, being careful to not hurt her wound. He gently pulled Malia back, a bit away from Troy. She looked at Troy, looking a bit hurt and anxious and worried. She didn't fight Lincoln, but she wanted to go back to Troy. Her heart squeezed in her chest, and she badly wanted to run back to Troy and hold him close, keeping him here. Lincoln gave Troy a nod, and then he bent his head down a not and whispered something in Malia's ear. She whimpered a bit, wanting Troy.

[Light Bringer]

Troy returned the nod to Lincoln, he gave Malia one last smile before turning around and beginning to head off. "I'll be as quick as I can." He said over his shoulder before walking off to find Crazy Dog so that they can get the whole water situation under control.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Malia watched Troy leave, her heart aching. Lincoln didn't let go until he was out if sight, and only then did he loosen his arms. "Come on," he said. "Let's go find something to do."

[Light Bringer]

Along the way, Troy found Crazy Dog and the two of them went to a car. Troy decided that he would drive since it would be easier as he was the one that knew the way and he trusted himself more.
