At Aura's words, Flicker's arms seemed to cross tighter over their chest and their shoulders hunched up defensively. It became apparent from their demeanor that what they were feeling right now wasn't annoyance, but a mixture between insecurity and a creeping dread. [color=f7941d]"Obviously I'm not letting you guys go into this by yourself,"[/color] they muttered as they tried to pick their words very carefully. [color=f7941d]"Just... this whole situation is not giving me... the best feelings... right now."[/color] That was clearly an understatement, but they weren't sure what else to say right now without getting into some serious emotional baggage that they really weren't ready to unpack right now. Especially not in front of Cascade. As a newcomer, she hadn't gotten to see just how bad Flicker could get when their emotions burned out of control, and the fire genasi would [i]really[/i] like to keep it that way, at least for a little while.
