he'll follow you around after you had a traumatic experience. depending on who you are he'll bring you down or try to lift you up.

you can have someone be with em if you want.

yeah! but he only appears to someone who has had trauma. think of him as your little demon on your shoulder.

Tex: *appears at a large black wolf, red bulging eyes*

do you want to?

I certainly do!

it don't matter to me, but how about you pick the theme?

hmm. it's up to you really.

take all the time you need bro

no your not annoying at all! and that would be a good idea!

to be honest i rarely get annoyed by people. but if your somebody that just is utterly a jerk. anyway would you like a private anim or no?

hm. well why not we do it here until we need to?

would you like to start or should i?

hm.. very well. uh, can i have some context on where exactly she is? it helps me get started.

why not both! She can start at the hospital and later be at home!

alright, I'll start now. *tex was staring at her at the end of the hospital bed, he was sitting on the rim as if he was a gargoyle statue. he just simply stared at sally*

*tex smirked, his tail were like dragon claws, readjusting his grip* so kid, how'd you end up with eh?

*he chuckled, jumping down* what happened for you to get stuck with me, aye? *he smiled, phasing through a nurse*

*he laughed* absolutely not! I am your trauma! but you can just call me tex. *he grinned* I'll be sticking with you for the rest of your recovering time.

*he paused, sitting down on the bed* kid. I'm sure you'll pull through. you can't just give up. stop doubting.

*he grumbled* my presence is bothering you. I can tell. if you need me. I'll be a plushie. *he disappeared, instead there sat a wolf plushie, black as the midnight sky with two red eyes almost like moons*

*Tex wasn't visible to her, but he smiled as he still sat on the bed. though he hated himself for only bringing pain to people*

*tex watched a nurse come in, he new this nurse before, she had a traumatic experience as well* *Hannah smiled* hey sally, how are we feeling?- oh? what's that?

*Hannah sat down on the bed, sighing* I know that plushie...you have him now, don't you? *tex grumbled, whispering to her* go ahead and tell her, we are old friends.

*she smiled, chuckling* I'm sure he'll treat you well, like he did. now, you ready for me to replace the bandages? I bet they are really itchy.

*she smiled, chuckling* just a couple more days sweetheart. then we can start on the road for mental recovery. Tex should help with that. and if he likes you enough, he might stay with you through the whole treatment. but he sadly didn't do with me of course. *she smiled, showing her blind eye, which had be nearly scratched out by something*

*she sighed, going over and hugging her* I tell you what. how about some ice cream? hm? it usually makes me feel better. *she rubbed her arm* also honey, your healing process from your incident is a lot to take in. me and the other nurses, plus your best friend here. are trying our best to help you be okay.

*she smiled* its a cold sweet. it comes in a lot of flavors. like chocolate chip..vanilla.. ooh! cookies a cream too!

*she sighed* why not we try vanilla first? it's one of the basic flavors. *she smiled, getting up* let me go get it, alright? *she walked out* *tex appeared, but the plushie was still there* hey kid, how you feelin? anything hurt?

*tex grabbed a napkin, wiping the blood off her nose* can't have that cute face of yours more torn up than it already it. and your hugging me kinda tight. *he chuckled*

*tex grumblex* well that wasn't very nice now was it? *he sighed, sitting down at the end of the bed* what's the point of this anyway. I'm only causing you more pain.

*tex paused, before getting up and moving closer to her* i.. assumed you liked the plushie?

*tex smiled, lifting the blanket to sit down next her, hugging her* I'm glad you did..hannah was right ya know.

*he sighed* bout everything really. your recovery... the ice cream.. me even. I used to be with her for some time.

*he chuckled* what's up with chu aye? *he pet the dog, smiling*

*he sighed* sorry buddy, I can't really... lift things. I can touch things and feel them. I just.. can't pick things up. unless I made it myself. it's weird, I know.

*he jumped, before looking at the dog* can you get her plushie? *he sighed, looking at her* alright, where did it hurt?

*he smiled softly, kissing her forehead* can i see it? *he cradled her for a little bit*

*he froze, looking at the dog* can you go get nurse Hannah Williams? she came in early. *he sighed, continuing to cradle her, rocking slowly*

*he smiled softly, rocking her slowly* just let it out sweetheart, just let it out. your gunna be ok. I promise, ok?

Hannah seemed to see tex. but she didn't care. "tex, her arm." tex nodded, slowly and gently grabbing her arm, holding it out to Hannah. Hannah unwrapped the bandages to see what she had opened up.

Tex gentle grabbed her chin, making her not look. "hey, don't look at it, look at me. got it? just keeping looking at me." Hannah began treating it. quickly stitching it up, before giving her a small shot and wrapping it back up again. "the shot should slow down the bleeding. she'll need to be more careful. that goes for you too, Tex."

Tex smiled. "like i said sweetheart, it's a long road. but you'll make it." he laid down, moving her to where if she needed to, she could either hug him, or the plushie. "you need anything, tug my ear alright?" he smiled.

Tex smiled warmly, petting the dog. "the bleeding will stop honey. I suggest you sleep it off. it'll make you feel a lot better"

Tex raised a brow. "who? hannah?" he seemed confused. he didn't know if this 'she' is a threat.

Tex smiled warmly, hugging her. "I won't let anything happen to you, ok? I'll be in your dreams to help you with lovely, happy dreams. we want you to have a proper sleep."

Tex smiled warmly, petting her head. “Just sleep, sweetie. Sleep is the best medicine.”

Tex sighed. “That’s why i’m Here, there is nothing to be scared about honey. I can get hannah if you need anything, such as food, water, and other needs. Would you like some pain killers? It should help on the pain, as long as it doesn’t cancel out any other meds you might be taking.”

Tex smiled. “Of course, what is it?” He was slightly concerned with the dog. Trying to understand what was going on with it.

Tex froze completely. Seemingly disappearing before appearing into the hallway, but... he was a Wolf, his fur stood on end, he still had those red moons for eyes. The nurses stared at him before he barked. Started barking loudly. He couldn’t keep this secret if it jeopardized her life. He ran back into the room and started doing circles. It was clear from him walking he was worried. Worried and slightly angry that she wasn’t eating at all.

Hannah ran in. Along with several doctors. Hannah stared at the large wolf pacing and went into action. “Sally, sally look at me. Your gunna be fine. Doctor we need to get some fluids and a I.V bag. Can someone get me a coffee it helps me focus.” Hannah didn’t look human now, her eyes were green with slits. And she had wolf ears. But she didn’t care at this point. “Tex I need you to comfort her the best of your ability as if she was a dying baby squirrel!” Tex jumped, running over and licking sally’s Face.

Tex growled, before sighing. He simply laid his head down in front of her, staring at her. “Hey...look at me...”

Tex licked her face. “Cmon sweetheart, open those pretty eyes, please? For your big ol’ fluffy wolf buddy?” He chuckled softly at the name.

Tex sighed. “Well you not eating concerns me.. a lot. You had just jeopardize your life. If your trying to be okay your not doing a good job at it. They have started you on fluids. Then we can go on to things like ice cream and jello.” He licked her again. Before getting into the bed and laying down, “it’s important for your recovery”

Tex sighed, taking a stern but concerned tone. “ you can’t just not eat, if you wish to be okay, you need to eat. It is required. Trust me, please.” He stared at her, ears pinned back.

Tex made a short growl. “Depends on what it is, sally. If it’s something that jeopardizes your health, then I can’t accept it.” He was more worried and concerned than angry. His fur was still on end, making him look a little more fluffy than usually.

Tex froze, sighing. Laying down to where his head in on her lap. “I will try not to, just promise me you won’t jeopardize your life like that... god doesn’t need another angel.” He smiled.

Tex smiled, moving up a little, nuzzling her cheek. “Now pet me, you gave me quiet a scare.” He chuckled at himself, but it was anything to get a smile on her face.

Tex sighed. “What makes you smile, huh?” He looked at her, but didn’t move his head. “We can play games, sleep, I can make some wonderful dreams if you wish, and...” he trailed off, he never had someone so unstable and not willing to live in such a long time.

Tex chuckled. “Well now you have me, so what were your parents like? What do you do for fun?” He lifted his head, smiling.

Tex turned back from what he was before, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a pen. “Here, trying drawing from the air” he smiled. He wanted anything to make her smile.

Tex smiled, gently grabbing it, creating a bunny from seemingly thin air. “ see?” He laughed.

Tex smiled, handing her the pen. “ just start drawing, sometimes they come to life too.” He looked at her.

Tex chuckled. “Thanks” he smiled. Staring at it. “Also if you wish for it to go away, let me know.”

Tex chuckled. “Did I just see a nice little smile on your face?”

Tex huffed, “oh don’t give me that, you should smile more! I think it’s really pleasant. You can go on and keep drawing, whatever makes you happy.” He smiled, staring at the drawing of him.

Tex’s brows furrowed. Before sighing. “ does this make you happy?” He stared at her.

Tex sighed. “Does he visit you here?” He was trying to hide that he was angry.

Tex growled. “Does he intend on visiting you today?” He grinned.

Tex smiled, “well if he visits today, i’ll Protect you. If I start yelling at him let me know. I wish to keep that promise.” He hugged her softly.

He nodded, smiling. “Good, I won’t let anything hurt you.”

He chuckled. “He’s more like a bunny more than anything isn’t he.” He smiled, leaning his head against hers. (Should we add the dad? It’ll trigger Tex’s other side)

He smiled, before sighing. “You wanna try ice cream?” He looked at her, worried and concerned.

He glared over at the door, standing up. He made himself visible, grumbling. “Who’s there.”

He snarled. “What do you want, she’s trying to heal for god’s sake” (I have to ask this, but are you ok with cussing? I try to keep it to a minimum)

He grinned, snorting. “Says you, i’m Tex by the way, but a lot of people call me the embodiment of trauma.” His eyes narrowed.

He smirked. “Well it seems we can to some understanding, but that doesn’t explain why your here.” He snarled.

He grinned. “Your ‘child’ doesn’t want you here. Your adding more stress, with this much stress your gunna kill her so I need you to leave.” He huffed.

He growled. “She. Doesn’t. Want you here. You clearly had made her worse to the point where she doesn’t eat. She was probably about to die around 30 minutes earlier. You never made her happy and I don’t respect that, so grab your shit and leave.”

He grinned, “well if your staying you better say something to boost her esteem. So if you excuse me, I gotta get back to cuddling her.” He smiled, walking back over to her.

He smiled, getting back into bed, petting sally’s head. “Ya know, she’s a really pretty girl...but why abuse her so much? She has a whole life a head of her, if you would have been nice to her, if she becomes someone that makes a lot of money, she won’t give you any of it.” He winked, smirking.

He laughed. “You can gain a lot of money with publishing paintings and drawings. Hell, she can become a design artist.” He looked at him. “How much money do you think Leonardo da Vinci got from publishing paintings?”

He smiled, grabbing the sketch book, looking through it. “She’s really good at it, she even made a very detailed drawing of me, and you... but with a belt and bottle in your hands. She never had any positive memories of you..as far as I know.” He sighed, petting her head. “She can’t even smile anymore”

He growled, before pausing, seemingly to stare behind him in shock. Hannah was there, ice cream and spoon in hand. Right next to her was a woman, purple hair, stuck in a messy bun. She had freckles along her face as she stood in disapproval, her blue eyes narrowing. Tex started laughing.

Hannah snarled. “Excuse me I will not be allowing you into her room any longer if your going to give her negative discouragement, you fake, ****ing stick up your ass, liar!” Even the woman next to her was a little frightened by Hannah's tone. Tex grinned. “Well, you gotta listen to the pretty lady.”

Hannah sighed, before walking over and gently nudging sally. “Sally, sweetie, wake up. Someone very special is here to see you!” She smiled. The purple haired woman had a name tag that said saffron on it. Tex was very confused by it.

Hannah smiled, looking over at the lady. “This is saffron, she’s a professional artist in tattoos, body painting, and she sometimes does portraits.” Saffron waved, before grabbing a chair and sitting down next to the bed. “Heya kiddo.”

Saffron adjusted herself in the seat. “I heard from Hannah you were really good at drawing, and I was Actually looking for a young assistant, for inspiration and help.” She smiled, Tex seemed happy, laughing. Saffron continued on. “Can I see some of your drawings?”

Tex had an idea, appearing. “Sally, why not you draw me again? But on paper. So you don’t have to show her anything you don’t feel comfortable with.” Saffron smiled, laughing. “I say that’s a wonderful idea! Don’t want my future assistant under any pressure!” She grinned.

Saffron smiled, gently taking it from her. She was rather pleased, smiling. “Well, your very experienced for someone your age!” She grinned. “Why not after you get out of this hospital bed, you stop by my workshop for the first day on the job? I pay you handsomely, but make sure you give none of it to your nasty father, got it? Your money is what you do with it.” She smiled, Tex lightly shaped her, laughing.

Saffron paused, sighing. “It’s only if you want to, you’ll be helping me with paintings, and maybe we can come up with ideas for new artworks. Think of it as a....as a summer time art school! I’ll teach you some things that may improve your art, and you might teach me some things as well. And I bet it’ll boost you so your recovery might be faster than we thought. I really love your drawings and how you express so much emotion into them. You can decline if your not feeling up to it quiet yet.” She smiled, Tex looked at sally.

Saffron smiled. “Of course sweetheart, here.” She took a card out of her pocket, handing it over to her. “This card has all my information, including my email and cell phone address, along with the address of my workshop. Take all the time you need honey.” She smiled, getting up and walking out to give her space. Tex was chuckling. “Well aren’t You a miracle.”

Tex smiled, hugging her. “Hey, your father said you wouldn’t get anywhere, why not we prove that’s sucked wrong, eh?” He stared at card, smiling.

Tex smiled. “I know her well, she actually has a tattoo of me on her back. Which is weird but eh. Either way, she means well, she really would love to have you.” He laughed.

Tex smiled. “You should give it a shot, and if you don’t like it she’ll understand completely.” He laughed, hannah walked in. “Sweetie you wanna try ice cream?”

Hannah smiled, coming over, handing her the spoon and small cup of ice cream. “This is vanilla, I suggest taking small bites at first. If you don’t like it I have other flavors.” She smiled, Tex was a little concerned but content.

Hannah laughed. “It usually doesn’t. That’s ice cream, and uh, it’s cold just letting you know.” She handed over the spoon and cup, even opening it for her.

Hannah smiled. "good isn't it? once we're done with that one I have chocolate and strawberry too." she laughed. Tex grinned, seeing her face lit up.

Hannah laughed. "I'm glad you like it, go ahead, eat up. it's best to get some food in your belly" she smiled.

Hannah laughed. "would you like to try strawberry or chocolate next?" tex was chuckling. he was really glad he was eating.

tex laughed "its called a brain freeze, press your tongue against the roof of your mouth, it'll go away faster." Hannah nodded. "mhm, it happens with slushies, popsicles, and other cold things."

Hannah laughed. "there's a lot of things you weren't given, huh? I bet you would like a lot of things." Tex smiled.

Hannah smiled. "well, what do you want to try next? aye?" she grinned. "you should have a childhood that every child should have."

Hannah grinned "doesn't mean you can't be childish for a say"

tex smiled. "now what do we wanna try next?" Hannah grinned, grabbing a notepad from her pocket.

Hannah thought for a moment, before standing up. "excuse me one second, I need to ask your doctor something" she walked out.

Tex shrugged. "I dunno." Hannah soon came back in with a wheel chair. "get in sweetheart, we are going shopping."

Hannah smiled. "for things you want, I'm gunna spoil you." Tex laughed."she means shes gunna buy you whatever you want."

Hannah sighed. "you never got the chance to try new things, now let's go, it's not that far of a walk"

Hannah smiled. offering the chair. "you want the wheelchair? Or do you want a pigback ride on Tex?"

Hannah smiled, helping her into the wheelchair, covering her with a blanket and handing her the plushie.

Hannah smiled, walking out of the hospital. "like i said, the store is just two blocks down the road, is that ok? Or do you wish to take the car?"

Hannah nodded, walking along the sidewalk. Tex was walking next her, smiling.
