Description
Instead of taking him back to his parents immediately, the soothsayer carried her chick back to their room. The last stages of his freak-out ceased as she drew a hot bath for him, and his cries became those of just a broken hearted child, bringing tears to his nanny's eyes.

She gently peeled off his oversized robe, and bathed him quickly when she noticed coughs punctuating his sobs. If Shen was getting sick from being out in the rain, the last thing he needed was to be wet right now. He didn't react to the bath, not wriggling or splashing, the tickle brush not even bringing a twitch of a smile to his face. He just sat there desolately, crying.

The soothsayer lifted him into her arms, toweled him off, and dressed him in his nightshirt. She swaddled him tightly in a blanket and cradled him, but he seemed to be resisting any affection.

"Mama.......Baba.......hhhhate me.........."

She pressed her forehead against Shen's, feeling hot tears track down her cheeks. "They don't, baby......they don't........"

Her poor little chick was shaking so much that he could barely take a breath. "'M sorry........didn' mean to.......didn' mean......!"

"Shen, baby, it isn't your fault....." the soothsayer whispered desperately.

Shen's head bobbed, but whether he was nodding or simply trembling she couldn't tell. "Bbbbbad....." he choked out. "Was bbbbbad....."

She was quite literally lost. She only wished that his parents could see this, see what they had done. Perhaps they had only neglected him because they didn't want the pain that would come from his short life expectancy, but this was what they had left their child with.

She didn't give him a chance to protest as she cradled the chick that was practically hers in her lap, rubbing his back as his breakdown showed no sign of stopping.

So, here's a small part of the story of that RP with . If people are interested, I guess I could do a fanfic or something for it.

I got a bit lazy on this picture, but nothing too severe. And give me some credit: I didn't TOTALLY just BS it on the Soothsayer's robes! I attempted to follow the color scheme, but I didn't bother with the patterns. Remember, I'm not on Photoshop or anything; I don't have all your fancy brushes and layers, I just have a tablet and my hand.

...and apparently I'm on a digital art kick.

Enjoy.
