( Matthew has been doing all he can to keep a (metaphorical) eye on Elektra. problem is, she's not the only one that has been slowly losing their grip after the disturbingly bloody showing by the spirits. the worry he'd been feeling before is edging into downright panic. the last he saw of her, she had seemed a little distant, and a lot callous, but nothing like this.
much like the time she'd been racked with hallucinations, Matt isn't sure he can get through to her. but he doesn't have it in him not to try.
Elektra doesn't even seem to know he exists when he catches her by the elbow. the angry rebuke about letting her go and leaving her be hopefully confirms that she doesn't realize who is approaching her just yet. Matt doesn't want to think about what might happen if the afflicted lose all sense of themselves in the siren song of the parade. )
It's me, sweetheart. Let's get out of here. I'm tired. ( he is, bone tired. that's not really why he wants to go, but, Matt hopes that transferring the onus to him will leave her more willing to bend. usually he doesn't attempt to manipulate Elektra, mostly because it never seems to work. but for once, it seems like the best call. )
LOST CONTROL
