( after the seance vanessa had asked him to stay. she didnt want to be alone, not with that feeling lingering within her. though this had been her idea, her willingness to do such a thing she didn't enjoy the feeling of having another soul within her body, of losing herself. she had too many memories, or at least experience given what she tried to forget of the negative side of being inhabited.
vanessa had excused herself momentarily, to breathe and compose, unpinning her hair as she did, before returning to him. her room was not really a comfort, few places to sit other than her bed or a chair.
his presence at least helped. comforted. vanessa hadn't wanted to be alone and he was one of the few she felt secure around here, the one who knew her best.
her arms are wrapped around herself, a small comforting gesture as she steps back in the room towards him )
