Do you ever feel as though you're loosing your mind?
Khai just stood there. Observing as the three women in front of her bicker back and fourth with one another about god knows what.
She doesn't recall when she started spacing out, the only thing clouding her thoughts being what it would feel like to slip a joint between her lips, inhaling the thick toxins through her lungs. Eyes feeling heavy as she lazily falls into a slumber of calm, her tightened limbs unchaining themselves with each exhale passing her mouth.
A spear whipping through her eyeline made her jolt back in surprise, hissing out a 'fuck' as Riri's desk that was slumped behind her nudged itself into the back of her thigh.
Realisation of the situation slapping her in the face, she leaned forward whilst raising her arms up between her friend and the second woman to enter her dorm in the last five minutes.
"wow, okay everyone hold the fuck on a minute," Khai pleaded.
"hey are you okay?" Shuri asked while approaching Khai's side, concern washing over her face.
Shuri had been keeping an eye on Khai's foggy state whilst also trying to help Riri stay as calm as she could. Noticing how Khai had been blankly staring in front of her, waterline beginning to pool with how long she hadn't blinked.
The princess originally knew something was unusual when a snarky comment hadn't passed the girls lips within the last minute or so. She couldn't suppress her over analysing traits as she wondered if this was something Khai did often when confronted with discomforting situations.
"i'm fine, yeah. what the fuck is everyone going on about? Why is there a spear being whipped around my record player, that was not a cheap purchase and i'd like it to remain in one piece".
"I wasn't aiming for your contraption, and i'll have you know i'm very talented in controlling my weapon." the woman stated, her spear still in hand.
"Yes well there's a first time for everything isn't there."
The woman Khai still hadn't learned the name of just yet, looked appalled with her simple accusation. "You silly girl." She tutted.
Shuri let a giggle escape her lips as she wandered behind Khai and over to her record player, fingertips caressing the mahogany wood as she admired the girls most prized possession. She found it quite humorous how dramatic Khai was seeming to be.
Riri flew past Khai, grabbing her arm and yanking her frame behind her own as she raised a large heater above her head, feeling like some sort of animal that was being cornered.
Shuri stressed, eyes agape as they followed the placement of Riri's hand squeezing around her friends arm, watching how she pulled her with such force, not missing the cute detail of Khai's nose scrunching up with her friends pull. Her arms held in the air to ease Riri's movements from going any further as she stepped back toward her original place. "Hey, hey. hey! Put it down, you'll hurt yourself".
Coming to terms with the fact she's going to have to be the bigger person in this quarrel, Khai softly placed her hands on each of her friends arms.
"Ri, it's alright. Take a second to breathe, hm? Come on". Khai gently guided, slowly dropping Riri's arms and taking the heater into her own grip.
Dropping the heavy weight back on the table it previously had rested, she blew out a huff. Turning back to face her friend, she didn't miss the way a particular shade of brown pierced through her own orbs, an intensity becoming seemingly difficult to avoid.
The woman on the opposite side of Shuri spat out a mutter of complaint, making the room aware of her annoyance to the whole ordeal. "Small, small girls, i will give you two options. You either come to wakanda, conscious, or unconscious".
Khai's brow's shot up, an airy laugh leaving her lips as she shook her head in disbelief. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. How in the world she was going to get her and Riri out of this she had no idea, her possibilities seemingly short.
"is that so?" Khai played on her threat, an edge of a smirk resting on her features.
"You need to be conscious of the way that you look, walkin' round with all that ash on your head". Riri interrupted the end of khai's question,
Shuri chuckled, leaving a baffled expression on the other woman's face. "Oh, you think that's funny?" She turned to the princess, Shuri shaking her head with her focus back on Khai. She felt like she couldn't look away from her, so suddenly indulged in curiosity about the girl.
"No, it's not". Khai's teeth sunk into her bottom lip, holding in her giggles from her friends comment. Something in Shuri's eyes darkened as she observed the simply innocent action.
"Mhm, I told you".
"You look good!" Shuri turned and shrugged her shoulders at the slightly distressed woman, Riri and Khai just looking at each other with a confused glance, she imagined they where patching up something they had previously discussed before.
"Calm down. we'll leave, okay? And they can both deal with that merman with the winged ankles, who wants to kill Riri, and perhaps also her little friend once he finds out about her involvement in building this school project of theirs".
The girls' features dropped at Shuri's words. Panic beginning to slowly set within them from the information they where being fed, Khai's brows furrowed together as she blankly stared at the girl smirking at her, whilst a gasp escaped her friend lips.
"Come on, let's go. You got this!" Shuri exclaimed, stalking backwards with a smile before turning her frame and leaving the girls dorm, the woman she came with following behind her catching on to the princesses plan.
"yes, with your heater". She grinned at the girls, before turning on her heel and leaving them alone once again.
Only this time with a heavy weight of dread in their stomachs.
