[ he follows her, looking for all the world like a lost puppy.]
...You have a house...?
[ he sounds. a little amused, a little confused... it has not occurred to rondo you could just steal one of these houses. but there's definitely appreciation on his face, as he tries very very hard to not focus on his surroundings at all. ]
[When you feel fine taking over land by force, at least. Erin leads to one of the houses, opening it easily. It's very nice and cozy inside, perfect for a breakdown]
There, have a seat. What brand of pain's got you all wobbly?
[It's blatantly clear Erin completely lacks the ability to be softer with words in the face of someone's distress]
[ listen. the softer words would be lost on him, probably? he's used to a rougher hand, so there's something kind of comforting about the sass. it actually reminds him of richard, a little, and he smiles, tired and soft, not quite there. ]
Mm... I just - I started feeling a little strange after the tea. [ his gaze briefly tracks past erin, to something behind her. ] I... thought I heard someone familiar.
[Erin has been subtly glancing behind her whenever Rondo looks behind her, but this time she gives a more noticeable glance because really, it's making her more nervous. She can hear hallucinations of her own, but she's coping. Forcing herself to cope, but she's doing it. Rondo's way of glancing behind her is straining her]
Someone's voice from home?
[That's what it's been like for her, yeah. Very familiar voices]

[It probably will be easier to handle if they're both in a more comfortable place. The house she stole should be fine, she figures]
Can't be leaving you here alone, you know that.

[ he says, softly - a little belatedly, forcing his gaze back to her face. ]
I can see him - he's been with us the whole time.

Ugh, go away! We're trying to have a conversation here!
[Some people are so rude, stop bothering Rondo. Erin turns her head back to Rondo]
Who is it?
