I really can't blame them either. The shrinking is far worse than we've ever experienced, but the truth is that we've been having problems for months, and every time new people come on board it's just more confusion. Especially when they start having the hallucinations hit them.
[She nodded at the description, recognizing quickly that this was some sort of 'thing' Retrospec was doing to her friend. It was... annoying, but at the very least it wasn't as unpleasant as, say, growing horns or something equally outlandish. Regardless, it was distressing her, so she wanted that to ease.]
I see. Perhaps try to relax. They won't go away, so maybe find a way to accent them or simply style the rest of your look to go with? As I said, they're not unattractive, if you have to be stuck with them.
[Chloe's hand came back once the knife was taken smoothly enough and slipped behind her back, pulling another out and causing it to spin in her fingers relatively easily. She smiled and motioned for the two of them to continue.]
I appreciate it. We can have each other's backs while we walk, can we not? It is a bit dangerous to go alone these days, after all.
[She opted not to simply volunteer just how good she was with these knives, or how much she'd been picking up. If they fought a bug, she'd see first hand. However, she had a feeling the revelation might be a bit much for Lucy.]
"They didn't whisper to me of answers," she said when they had gotten a little away. The whispers were still there, but she was willing to risk taking a single ear bud out so that she could hear Eleanor properly. She looked at her for a long moment, color heating her cheeks. "All that they whispered to me was that I could be with the one that I wanted, and kept whispering different names, playing off of my turmoil."
She relaxed her grip and looked back. Part of her wanted to go back, to escort Eleanor. "I... if you want to go back, we can, but I will not let you go alone." Her voice said she didn't think anything good would come of it, but she was willing.
The cat started to tense, its body crouching very slightly, butt arching up and into the air. There was a very small shift in the way that it looked at them, and just as it did, Chloe shouted "Now, Left!" And, when she said it, she bolted to the other side, aiming towards the right and pulling knives out while she did. She was watching the cat like a hawk, aiming to make absolutely sure that the little feline wouldn't be turning towards Ami at this point.
As she bolted, the furry friend pounced and landed somewhere between them, its paws lancing out and a hiss coming as it expressed its annoyance. The distant sounds of the bus starting to approach echoed down the street like a roaring line.
Freya was starting to make an increasing amount of sense, and when she felt the tug on her arm, Chloe stopped resisting and let her drag. the drag was soon assisted by the purple-haired girl's own steps and she started to move with increasing speed away from the forest and flowers. She lingered close to the other woman, not quite huddling. She was a little too proud of that, but definitely close. She didn't trust herself not to run either, not until the insidious whispers were gone.
"I... I don't know, but it sounded so real, and I ... I want her." Though she wasn't specifying who 'her' was. Her own mind wasn't capable of that right now.

I try to be understanding.
