L! Eret 1-3 CG! Sam
Eret slips for the first time and doesn't know what's happening
MINOR SPOILERS FOR RED BANQUET STREAM FROM 4/25/21
Panic. That's all they could describe it as. Panicked as he pushed himself into a corner clutching his neck afraid his head might fall of if he didn't. Tears falling down his face he couldn't move to wipe them away as the fell. His breath was unsteady, seemingly never able to catch it. They had tried to kill him, instead replacing Eret with Foolish now Foolish had lost a life to save Eret, it should have been him.
She heard one of the their castle doors open as Sam called out their name, they tried to respond to him but they couldn't seem to form words anymore, hell they couldn't even get up to move.
Sam came to check on Eret after the events of the red banquet but she was nowhere to be seen. Sam called out once again, still no response as he wandered the castle until he heard sobbing? It was coming from one of the bedrooms.
Sam knocked on the door, "Eret are you in there" Sam asked receiving no response other than wailing from the other side of the door, Sam slowly opened it before rushing over to Eret who was panicking in the corner. "Eret what's wrong?" Sam asked going to put a hand on Erets knee, Eret used any strength he had to move away from Sam's touch, what if Sam was there to hurt him? Eret's breathing still unsteady, if they kept up like this they would pass out. "Ok I won't touch you but can you follow my breathing just like this, breathe in..... and breathe out." Sam tried to instruct to the other, Eret tried to follow but she couldn't do it and the tears started pouring once again. "That's okay! We can try again!" Sam said showing them how to properly breathe, working with them until the were finally able to catch their breath. "That's perfect now can you tell me what's wrong?" Sam asked voice filled with concern. Eret tried to respond but couldn't form anything other than incoherent babbles, why couldn't he talk? Sam had seen this behavior before, usually it wasn't as panicked but whenever Foolish slipped super young he could only form babbles. "Eret, how old are you buddy?" Sam asked looking for any type of response. Eret wanted to answer but his mind was too foggy to be able to give an answer, she wanted to answer she really did but all she could do was whine as she made grabby hands at the older. "It's okay baby girl you don't need to answer, you're okay." Sam reassured as he pulled the little into his lap.
The two sat there in the corner of Eret's bedroom in silence until Eret had calmed down enough to be able to at least try to speak "s-sca'ed 'am" Eret finally pushed out, "why are you scared princess?" Sam questioned pushing her hair out of her face. "Egg get me" she answered looking up at Sam as tears started forming in her eyes, "the eggs not gonna hurt you baby Sammie won't let that happen." He reassured holding the little tightly "pwomise?" Eret asked weakly holding up a pinky to which Sam nodded and intertwined with his own. "Why don't we go to my house so we can get some things and stay there." Sam said knowing most of Foolish's little items were there, Eret nodded pushing her face into the crook of Sam's neck as if trying to signal she couldn't walk. Without hesitation Sam picked up the little placing her on his hip, Sam led them out the door and in the direction of his house.
When they arrived at Sam's house Sam helped the little change into some spare pajamas he had laying around. Sam settled themselves down offering Eret any little comfort item he could find, Eret only wanted a paci (one Sam knew hadn't been used before) and a stuffed horse that Eret thought resembled one of the ones she has at her castle. Sam had laid down putting the little into his lap quickly falling asleep after.
When Eret woke up big in Sam's arms he was very confused to say the least, "hi princess, you want a snack?" Sam asked not aware of Eret not being in her headspace. "W-what? Where am I?" Eret asked but not making any effort to move out of Sam's arms, "Oh- Uh you slipped while having a panic attack so I brought you over to my house." Sam explained "slipped? I don't remember falling or even having a panic attack?" She questioned she had tried to rack her brain for any sort of memory from that morning but there wasn't anything there. "No, like you slipped headspaces, do you know what that means Eret?" Sam asked seeming confused every little he's watched has always known what it was but Eret was different and seemed confused. Eret shook her head in response to Sam's question looking just as confused as Sam. "It's when your mind regressed back to a young age to cope with stress" Sam explained "oh that's never happened before..." Eret replied face flushing red as they got up from Sam's lap. "You don't need to feel embarrassed it's okay, I watch foolish when he regressed I can watch you too if you want." Sam offered "Uh yeah that'd be cool, I don't think I fully understand yet but maybe I will?" Eret said rubbing the back of their neck. "Me and foolish can help you figure it out, and you can stay here until you feel comfortable enough to leave." Sam said. "Okay thank you Sam." Eret said sitting back down not planning on leaving just yet.
