Allen blinked in confusion, finding himself being pulled down the hall by Lavi. He was too disoriented at first to react, still trying to figure out the situation. Had he been crying? He quickly realized what must have happened. Again.
“Eh, what are you talking abo-?!” Lavi started to call back to Calera, but Allen quickly pinned him to the wall with a hand over his mouth.
“I dont think I should let you talk anymore, sorry Lavi.” Allen said with a deceptively sweet smile. He knew he wouldn’t be able to hold Lavi for long, at least not without getting his innocence involved, so he turned to Calera.
“Can you please take this stupid trigger thing off?”
“With pleasure.” Calera muttered, mimicking Allen’s facade as she leaded against the wall, watching Lavi’s struggle. “And Lavi, do try not to ruin this, okay? It’s about time we all got a break from this madness.” Allen wouldn’t be able to hold Lavi back when she said the phrase, so she hoped somewhere in that playful mind of his, Lavi agreed with her.
“Alright, just sink and listen. Let all voices except for my own just fade away, and fail to affect you.” Calera began, watching Lavi cautiously.
Allen’s expression went blank and his grip on Lavi loosened.
Lavi pulled Allen’s hands off of him and carefully maneuvered his way out from between Allen and the wall. He was careful to make sure Allen didn’t fall, considering he had been half leaning on Lavi when he went into his trance. He considered hijacking the finders hypnosis again, but he felt like she was right; Allen had been through enough today.
And for some reason all of his suggestions seemed to go wrong somehow, anyways.
