It hurts... It hurts like hell...
Delilah has to bite her lips as she slowly peels the roots and vines out of her body. She has over exerted herself tonight with all the movement and dealing with a thief in her greenhouse. It was a miracle she got out of it with only this level of injuries. However the movement forced the roots to dig deeper into her and when peeling off it leaves a bloody mess on her skin. No large cuts or torn flesh, but a large amount of blood pours out of the pores and holes on her arms and legs. And it hurts, it hurts worse than broken bones or torn muscle, hurts like something is dying underneath her skin.
When she finally got Fauna off of her and let the plant settle properly in their pot with ample amount of fertillsier. She put on a light red night gown and tries to sneak her way into the bath room. As much as possible with bloody steps and welting vines falling out of her hair. Her horns already withered and was thrown into the fertiliser bin. She’ll be cleaning up the rest as soon as she washed the blood off her body.
Thankfully Sven is not home tonight, working late probably. As for Somi, she wasn’t sure where he is. Probably still at work since she hasn’t saw him before leaving for the greenhouse tonight. Despite that she still want to clean up fast before they woke up or come home. This was her mistake and she should be the one cleaning up and paying for the price. She should have developed a better system to keep thieves out and for separating from Fauna.
It took a while but she finally made it to the bathroom, dragging her body towards the bathtub. She wanted nothing more than lie down and curl up, just to sleep off the pain before cleaning up. In fact she does has to sit down on the edge for a short while just to catch breath and gather enough strength to start a bath.

It was a quiet night in the DeMontifar home, with Sven out late working and Delilah.... off somewhere on her own. Somi hadn't bothered to check up on where she was going, instead allowing himself to devote the evening to interesting research that was a bit more personal in nature. He'd discovered something interesting in an archive of mostly extinct botanicals and he wanted to make something of the idea. The night ticked on by, though, and when he found himself just preparing to get up and take a bit of a break, he heard someone enter. Sven? No, those footsteps seemed much more like their younger sister.
Somnium had intended to just continue on his way to getting something to eat or drink when splotches of red on the floor caught his eye. Pale purple eyes followed the markings as they went down the hall. Blood?
With a set to his expression saying that he would not let this slip beneath his attention, he turned away from the kitchen to follow the steps down the hall and, shortly after the sound of a door closing, one of the bathroom doors. Ah. That would be a good place for someone covered in blood to go wash up, wouldn't it. A sigh found itself resting on his lips as the older (and oldest, if you asked him) sibling leaned with his back to the door.
"Delilah. You haven't found yourself in trouble, have you?" he spoke, not wasting his words on asking her if she was okay because clearly the blood spoke for itself. He wasn't going to force help upon her unless she seemed to be in dire need of it, though, and instead allowed himself to wait there for a response.
However - if this was someone's fault, he would want to know. His research into a so-called 'suicide plant' might have a guineapig before it was even completed.

She practically jolted up and has to cover her mouth to muffle her pained cry. Somi was the last person she expected up at this hour, he must have been working on something. His poison research were always just as fascinating as her plants, sometime she would happily show him a new flower she modified to spew out paralytic pollen. Tonight however she doesn’t want to show him the sorry state she was in. A little more blood still trickle out and pooling with her hair.
Still he asked and it would be rude not to answer. “Mhm... I’m sorry Dee... ” she mumbled, her voice still so very hoarse. The roots that winds around her neck were a lot of pain to pull out. Even though it’s the few place that can be pulled out cleanly. Unlike the rest of her body, where she could feel a bit of roots inside, some living off her cells. Most are dying with the lack of connection.
Carefully she turned on the tap and let the bath fill with warm water. She kept the flow low just in case Somi wanted to say something she would still want to hear it. Much better than dwell on the fact she couldn’t keep herself safe from one lone thief. Not only that she got herself more hurt than ever before. In the past when she take Fauna off of her it didn’t cause this much bleed. She even manage to brush it off with Sven that it was just her period leaking. Now it was enough to colour the whole bath water as she dip the rest of her body in. Was it because she wore it too long? Maybe...
All she knows for now was that even stepping in the lukewarm water force her to cover her mouth to cover up the pained cries. Speaking of her hands...
“Dee could you help me with my hands a little later? It... it’s shaking and I don’t think I can bandage myself like this...” Delilah tried really hard to keep her voice even. Trying not to make any sobbing sound, no matter how hard it is.

A soft sigh fell from Somnium's lips as a quiet and hoarse voice belonging to his sister crawled past the door. Ah. Definitely trouble. Brows furrowed; who had dared? Who had dared to hurt his sister like this, to leave her bleeding. He stayed where he was, though, hearing the faint noise of pain and not leaving in case help was needed, though not bringing anything up just yet as he knew she was not likely to spill this information easily.
Her soft apology was mostly ignored, though. Somnium wouldn't blame her for whatever trouble she had gotten into; it was whoever had prompted action from her or whoever had sought out to hurt her that he took issue with, and an apology from them would be disregarded and met with nothing but violence.
Somnium pondered this for a moment, his thoughts only broken at the sound of suddenly muffled sobbing. At this he turned to face the door, suddenly concerned before Delilah spoke again, asking for help with bandaging afterwards.
"Of course," he answered, voice firm - and then, after a pause because he knew likely what the answer would be, "Delilah, who did this?"
There was no way he could allow someone to hurt any of his family and get away without some sort of retribution. Somnium didn't care in what way revenge could be gotten, but he wanted it regardless. He just needed a name, or a description, and he would make sure it was done. Delilah sounded like she was in so much pain - - how had this been allowed to happen?

Delilah give a soft sigh of relieve as she start to slowly deal with the blood and the hair. Moving carefully to rinse as much red off herself as possible. It hurts when water touches the wounds but its already starting to crust together and sealing it up. She already has enough blood to clean up in the hallways.
When Somnium asked for the name, Delilah remained silent. Not out of kindness like usual. Which annoyed both her brothers a lot when she keep making excuses for customers who just took her plants and run off without paying, she always believed they have a good reason to do such things. And also they never took one of her more precious plants.
But this one did, or at least try. She wasn’t sure if he did manage to take something or not since she was at the end dizzy with blood loss and knew she has to get home if she wanted to live. In fact getting home was also a difficult task, especially when you could feel the roots doing everything to cling on the only living thing. She can deal with pain, with unnatural tolerance to pain that surprises most people, but this is way beyond her usual threshold.
After a long silence she drain the tub and close the valve, carefully wring out her hair to get all the water out and then try to dry herself off as much as possible. “I don’t know... he has his face covered... I tried to record his voice but I don’t think its his real one...” she mumbles quietly standing near in the bath. She still feel dizzy and its hard to stand up straight.
