After a while, Isabelle's sobs turned to sniffles and then she stopped crying all together. She went very quiet, wiping her eyes and occasionally hiccuping while she leaned against R.J. Her head was beginning to hurt again.

*He held her until she stopped crying, then he continued to hold her. He rubbed her back gently and ran his fingers through her hair. At some point he pulled her into his lap and he began to rock her back and forth slowly to calm her. He shushed her and lied his chin atop her head to hum soft songs to her*

She closed her eyes and smiled weakly, hugging him warmly as he took care of her. She listened to him hum quietly and the sounds took her back to a more peaceful, simple time. She sighed.
"Thank you," she said, looking up at him. She kissed him softly on the jaw and then cuddled against his chest.

*He smiled warmly at her, and he kissed the top of her forehead after she kissed him. He cradled her against his chest and continued to rock her, his humming taking on a softer tune*
"Your welcome sweets..." *He said gently*

She held onto him as he rocked her and eventually she fell asleep, nuzzled against his warm chest. She breathed easily, worn out from everything that had happened, and despite everything she felt safe with him.
L.J came to the door of R.J's tent, his shadow cast darkly across the canvas, all sharp teeth and long, murderous claws.

*R.J continues to rock her back and forth as she sleeps. He's content holding her in his arms. He's so relaxed with her in his arms that he doesn't realize that his twin is nearby*

A shaking, clawed hand grips the canvas tightly, as if to pull the door of the tent open, but except for the gripping the hand doesn't move, held still by barely controlled will.
"R.J.," L.J. called, his voice rough and thick, "I need you, hurry. I can't..."
Suddenly the hand releases the tent fabric and footsteps rush away, the monster running before he losses himself.

*R.J hears his twin, and tenses. Then, he hesitantly moves Isabelle out of his lap and he lays her under the covers- he pulls them over her head to keep her "Hidden". Then, he gets up and creeps out of the tent, before rushing after his twin*
"L.J, wait!" *He half shouts, trying to be loud enough to call out to his twin, but quiet enough to not disturb the sleeping girl. He chases L.J to his tent*

Isabelle curls up under the sheets, falling into an even deeper sleep in the soft bed.
The clown was sitting on the ground in the corner of his tent, his tall form curled into a ball, his hands over his face. He was shaking and his hands and arms up to his elbows was slightly transparent, as if he was vanishing against his will.

*He runs up to his twin and grasps him tightly*
"L-L.J, L.J! What's wrong!?! Tell me what's happening!" *R.J shouted as he clutched his twin, his own body beginning to tremble with fear*

"We are one, my own," L.J said, hugging the more colorful clown as best as he could, "We balance each other and when I try to stay away...the balance tips and I suffer. I so want you to be happy and I don't want to put your new friend in danger, but I can't...do this. I can't stay away from you or I'll...I'll vanish. When we're not needed we vanish. You keep me gentle and I keep you safe, that is how it is suppose to be."
He pressed R.J.'s hand against his face, needing the warmth.

*R.J hugs his twin tightly, pressing him against his frame, tears threatening to fall from his eyes*
"T-then don't stay away!" *He said loudly, his voice running away from him for a moment*
"P-please... Try to stay beside me- beside Isabelle and I... I'll stay near her and keep her safe from you if you ever start, acting strange... Please" *His voice softened as he spoke, until it seemed as if he was going to cry. Then he buries his face in his twins hair and let a few tears fall*

L.J. felt the tears in his hair and he pulled his twin deeper into his arms, cradling him against his body. He could feel his hands and arms coming back, solidifying as if nothing had happened.
"Shh, kiddo, it's alright," he soothed, "I'm sorry for frightening you, I didn't want to. Don't cry, I'm fine now. I'll stay by you, shhh."

*R.J continued to let a few tears leak out of his eyes as he fought the urge to sob. He never meant to hurt his twin, nor did he want to loose him. He just wanted both of them to be able to have friends and not have to suffer for it. He held his twin even tighter and began to tremble, the aftermath of fear finally hitting him as he finally burst into tears.*
"S-sorry!... I-I'm sorry!..." *He whimpered repeatedly through his sobs, unable to fight the guilt that had crept into him*
