[LACEY] face down

[lacey anne blayzer]

Lacey smiled, watching her brother's eyes narrow before he turned to look at the male offering to help. After a moment, a smile brightened his face and Lacey relaxed.
"He's a good man, yeah?" She smiled as Damon nodded and wandered off again humming to himself.
"The only help I need is keeping him out of trouble, so they'll stop hurting him and locking him up...butthat's too much to ask." She shrugged. Not many wanted to deal with a psychopath. "I'll have a friend snatch me some medication when he's helping the staff. It's just morning sickness."

Damian gave the boy another smile as he wondered off. "Not at all. If he's wants to, he can always come with me and Khole."
Khole's ears perked up at his name and gave a wave as his reply. "See he won't mind," Damian chuckled. Khole had made his over, trying to catch what all he had missed.

[lacey anne blayzer]

Lacey drew in a surprised breath. "Oh... you don't have to. He's a handful, you know..the whole..needing handcuffs for safety precautions and all..." And she didn't need this guy decapitated as well. A tender smile. "But I guess..if he's willing to try, then maybe.."

[damian cole sullivan]

Damian's lips curled into a smile, and he felt a light pat on his back, followed by, "Way to go. You broke through your shell." Shaking his head lightly, he pushed at Khole playfully. "Go play with your shadows. No one called you over here." He laughed.

Khole smirked and ran a hand through his hair. "Fine. I'm going to go eat. It was nice to meet you." His voice was charming as his gaze turned to Lacey. He gave a small wave before turning to head to the door. "Bye!" He called lightly as he passed Damon.

Damian looked back to Lacey. "I would say he can be calmer than that, but he really can't."

[lacey anne blayzer]

Lacey chuckled softly as she listened to them banter. It reminded her of Jayden and Jordan sometimes. She waved as he took his leave, watching Damon tense then mumble a bye before he wandered towards the ball bin and pulled a basketball out.
Lacey slid down against the wall with a lazy yawn, watching him. To anybody at first glance, he probably seemed perfectly straight in the head.

[damian cole sullivan]

Damian took a seat on the floor and put the ice bag beside him. He chewed on his lip, not sure of what to do. "What'd you come here for if he doesn't like other people?" He watched Damon with curiosity, but every once and awhile he would look to Lacey. The last thing he wanted was to make the boy mad, which was odd. Damian usually loved to piss people off.

[lacey anne blayzer]

Lacey shrugged. "He wanted to play basketball, and the gym was empty yesterday. So I hoped it might be today." She smiled faintly, watching the ball glide through the hoop and bounce beforerolling to Damian's feet. Damon stared at him, head tilting, dark hair falling across his tattooed cheeks.
Lacey patted the hand of the young man next to her. "Maybe he'll let you play.." She was hopeful. Damon could use interaction.

[damian cole sullivan]

A soft chuckle rolled off his tongue and he picked the basketball up, rolling it around in his hands. "I meant why'd you come to Chaspel Heights? I can't imagine he likes those tests." Damian's eyebrow raised slightly, but he shrugged his shoulders and stood to his feet. "Can you make a three pointer?" He asked as he began to make his way across the gym. He passed the ball to Damon, letting it bounce against the floor once.

[lacey anne blayzer]

"Oh, that.." Lacey frowned. "It wasn't a choice. He decapitated a surgeon.. And they demanded he be switched to a different asylum. So this place said they were one. I came thinking I could use some rehab and keep an eye on him." She shrugged, watching him getbup. Damon grew wary, glaring coldly. But as the ball was bounced back, he took it, offering the faintest quirk of lips into a smile before stepping back and dribbling the ball. Ot bounced, rolling on the rim before falling through.

[damian cole sullivan]

His eyebrow rose slightly at the phrase, 'decapitated a surgeon', but mostly because Damon was now in a place where tests would be run on him. Why would they bring him here after decapitating a surgeon? It doesn't seem like the best move. Damian looked to the boy as he went to take another shot. "Nice," He smirked and went to retrieve the ball before bouncing it back to the other male. "What's the toughest shot you've ever made?"

[lacey anne blayzer]

Lacey watched them sleepily, playing with the handcuffs in her hands.
Damon smiled faintly, taking the ball and attempting another shot but missing. "I'unno.." He mumbled, rubbing at an arm.
He glanced up warily as somebody wandered into the gym. A long haired boy moving to give something to Lacey. He bumped Damon as the male stepped back, whimpering when Damon snarled and spun.
""Don't touch me!" He screamed, hands moving for the throat.
Lacey's head snapped up, hauling herself to her feet. "Damon let him go," She begged.

[damian cole sullivan]

It all happened rather quickly. The bump, the spin, the scream. Damian was surprised he was able to keep up. His reaction was pretty fast to, but he made sure not to get to close. "We can go down to the other goal," He offered as he held the basketball out. His eyes drifted to Lacey and then back to Damon. "We could play horse."

[lacey anne blayzer]

Damon pressed the guy up against the wall, barely hearing the other male. He screamed as Lacey yanked his hands back and cuffed him, blindfolding him and pulling him away. Damon sobbed, squirming in her grip. "Shh...go play with Damian...you're okay..."

[damian cole sullivan]

He began to dribble the ball as Lacey pulled her brother away. Damian watched them, taking mental notes of what not to do. Turning on his heel, he made his way back over to the basketball goal.

[lacey anne blayzer]

Lacey held him close until he stopped screaming and began to sob into her shoulder, clinging to her shirt as soon as she un cuffed him. She gently worked off the blindfold. He sniffed and she ran fingers through his hair, taking the coffee Jordan had been bringing. "See Damon? He wasn't trying to hurt you... Go play with Damian." She kissed the side of his head as he got up, watching him head towards the other male with tears inhis eyes. He was like a kids in an adults body half the time, though on occasion he could be pretty mature, minus the anger.
