They were not as familiar as zinc, but the process of using them should be similar enough. She began to burn the brass. He's probably scared - take that away. She began to Soothe away his fear. She also tried to take his pain. @TheRavenHasLanded Jar man relaxes, but still curls up.

"I need- a smoke..." then he goes unconscious, nearly dead. he's barely breathing. Pic starts frantically humming, varying between generes, then focuses on Jar Man's breathing. He proceeds to hum a steady waltz, focusing on how Jar Man needs to be breathing. The waltz swells with every inhale, and deflates with every exhale. Soon, his breathing stabilized, but not much more changes. JM isn't getting any worse, but he isn't getting any better either. "That's all I can do," Pic responds. "He needs more help than I can give." Quote Sorry teaching throughout the day, so if I don't respond quickly that's why. I will respond when I can asap.

The entire reason I was forced to take those lessons was to make me more attractive to noblemen, to get me out of my father's hair. And now you could use it to safe the life of a friend.

However, one Pic himself stops singing and the loop takes over for him, JM's breathing becomes more ragged. Pic notices this after a few seconds, and begins picking up the melody with a panicked look on his face. JM's breathing stops deteriorating, but it doesn't get any better. Pic's face turns from panic to extreme worry and focus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
