@littlestsapphire : JESTER
HIS FRIENDS ARE SPEAKING, and Caleb hears nothing. There's sound, yes, he can recognize that, but beyond that... he's a bit, er, preoccupied.
Empty gaze travels around the room, not taking in a single thing. He should set up the dome and the alarm, part of him thinks, but the rest of him is trembling so much it feels like the slightest touch will cause him to shatter into a million pieces, never to be whole again.
( He hasn't been whole in a long, long time. )
He doesn't realize he's being spoken to until there's a soft hand on his arm. He looks up at Jester, doesn't take it all in, doesn't make the slightest indication that he's actually hearing her words as her lips move.
