[ she jumps at that and looks up at elijah, surprised. had she not seen him there? probably. she glances back down at the body before answering ]

But you always wake up after you fall asleep. Why won't he?

[guardiansteel]

[ Elijah wouldn't be surprised if she hadn't seen him. He was kind of standing off to the side, and he had been pretty quiet. ]

Because he's not asleep.

[bioluminesce]

[ mia frowns and looks down at the corpse again. cautiously, she presses two fingers to his cheek and gasps a little ]

He's so cold! Is he sick then?

[guardiansteel]

[ Oh god this is going to be hard to explain, isn't it. Elijah can already tell that much. Best do this carefully. ]

Sort of. Not quite. He's dead.

[bioluminesce]

Oh........ Oh!

[ mia scrambles up to her feet and backs up a few steps, still looking at the body. she knows the word 'dead'. dead was what 'terminated' meant. dead was what was going to happen to her. ]

I- I didn't know that this was what dead looked like.

[guardiansteel]

Seriously?

[ He just sort of... blurts that out without thinking. How could someone not know...?

On the bright side, at least she seems to know what it means? ]

[bioluminesce]

[ she nods, a bit nervous at his tone. was he mad at her? she's not really sure. ]

Um, yeah. I've never seen a dead anything before. Are they always so cold and um...... [ she pauses, searching her limited vocabulary for an appropriate word. the one she comes up with isn't quite right, but it's as close as she can figure ] .... gone?

[guardiansteel]

That's a pretty accurate description, yeah.

[ He wasn't angry. Just incredulous. But now that he knows that she really is just that sheltered, he's redoubling his efforts to be gentle with her. We'll see how that goes; he doesn't do "gentle" well. ]

[bioluminesce]

[ the corpse is making her pretty uncomfortable, now that she knows what it is. she keeps glancing at it briefly and then looking away. questions are good distractions, she's gonna ask one! ]

.... Why is it here? I mean, er, do you know why he's dead?
