[ There's a pout that quickly forms on her lips when he moves away, Lottie not exactly wanting to separate so soon but allowing it. Her arms cross stiffly, turning around and looking as nonchalantly as she can, like maybe if she doesn't hyper focus on Amos his attempt to leave will be successful. Manifesting, right? Apparently she wasn't trying hard enough, though, because she hears him hiss and she turns immediately. She's on the verge of calling out to him, worried at his own apparent pain, but he's already marching his way to the other side towards that door.
Her mouth closes, unsure of what she should say that wouldn't sound needy or worried (unhelpful, her mind supplies). Lottie nods, ] Uh, okay. [ then takes the first few steps out of the hallway and into the outside world. Truthfully, it's a regular alleyway β even Springstar has its fair share of shady streets, of questionable shortcuts, and Lottie has been fortunate enough to have one. Makes it easier to talk to the neighbors, to gossip when she needs to.
She's stood out in this exact area so many times before but it is unnerving, now. Strange. Her skin prickles and she reaches a hand out to openly palm for Amos to come beside her. He'll find it's.. Fairly normal. Some stray boxes and staircases, Springstar's bougie (ye olde) equivalent of a dumpster. But the only difference is there are still no signs of life, no sounds of it. No scents, or anything. ]
How far do you think this goes? [ Because from here, it's even hard to tell if the streets the alley leads out to are affected. ] Do we just keep walking and find out?
