[ his arms are trembling when he lifts them; newt feels like a boy made viscous, like he could just melt into the sheets and fade away, every one of his shaking molecules evaporating away. it had seemed so easy when he climbed. one foot into the ivy, then another, and another, halfway up until the bloody ivy itself seemed to just disappear. for fifteen seconds he was free, in control of his life and his choices for the first time that he could ever remember. newt could fall and no one could stop him.
and he did, and now, he suffered the consequences. it was selfish (it was a mercy kill), it was stupid (it was a suicide) and he could see it written all over alby's face now, where he looks at him, lets emese wrap him up in her arms. his come to rest around her huge neck and he just stares into the distance, stares at alby and tears leak out of his eyes, and newt tips his head forward into the bear's fur and takes in a deep, shuddering breath.
ime makes a noise; it's soft, mournful, miserable. she lifts herself out of emese's hand and crosses the room in a flutter of tiny feathers, and lands on alby's shoulder, pressing her face to his neck. maybe it's easier that way, maybe she can say more than newt ever could.
There there, baby. There there. We got you now, we'll take care of you, we ain't mad. [ Emese continues to soothe, even as Alby takes Ime into his hands. He strokes his fingers over her soft feathers, at first simply letting her stay on his shoulder before he takes her into both palms. She's so tiny in his big hands, standing out in the midst of them, but she fits perfectly there regardless. The grizzly keeps talking as he shakily approaches, burying his nose in the feathers atop the owl's head as he leans against the side of the bed at first. ]
You just gave us a scare, y'know. Scared the klunk out of us - we don't wanna think about a world without you. [ Always, his daemon has been more talkative than he has. But that same caring nature is in the both of them, that same protectiveness in the both of them. And he feels it so powerfully for Newt, for the one person that he loves more than anything.
So he tries to show it while Emese speaks it, dropping to sit at the bed finally as he holds Ime like she's Newt's heart - which, she might as well be - cupping her in his hands and smoothing his thumbs over her. ]
