Time has a lot more physical strength than Silence, so if he tried hard enough with enough force, he probably broke through whatever was holding his feet down.
The area in which the point hit glowed gold and eroded away, causing Octave to lose focus in panic.
Octave attacked Time with sudden ice shooting up from the ground. It seems drier in the room now, and much warmer except for the area around the ice.

Time quickly moved back, but not before one of the icicles embedded itself in his leg.
He winced but still moved on, "Any damage done to this house needs to be repaired, you know."
He however did not let up on his offense. He muttered a spell under his breath before diving back in, attempting to grapple with her.

"Doesn't matter!" Octave yelled, lunging forward and aiming a hard punch to Time's throat.
Silence sent a telepathic message to Time.
"I need you to move so I don't hit you. Unless if you don't mind being unconscious for a bit."
Offline
Time took note of this and ducked under Octave's blow, then weaved to her hide, and pushed her to create distance between him and her before moving out of the way himself.
Offline
Octave stumbled forward, giving Silence an opportunity to shoot the spell. In a flash of pink and gold light, the spell hit and buried itself into Octave's forehead. She fell to her knees, trying to crawl towards Silence.
"I just... want what's best for... her..." Octave muttered out, reaching towards Silence. Her hand did not reach, but instead Octave collapsed. She was asleep.
Silence slowly breathed out a sigh before leaning down and trying to pick Echo up. She struggled, but managed to drag/carry Echo to Echo's bed. Echo was definitely a heavy sleeper. Silence laid her sister down on top of it, not bothering to move and cover Echo with the blankets.
Silence pointed at the end of Echo's bed and commanded Time, "Sit there and watch her for a bit. I'll be back. Make sure your leg isn't bleeding out or something."
With that, Silence left the room, not waiting or watching to see if Time was going to comply or not. She has short patience.
Offline
Time sighed and decided to comply. Making sure to tie his leg up and apply proper first aid. It was minor, so he wasn't too worried about it.
However he was fairly unhappy that he had to tear a piece of his shirt off for a makeshift bandage for now, since he left his bag downstairs in the living room.
What a hassle indeed.
However, as of now, he really didn't have anything to do. So he studied Echo and surveyed the damaged room around him.

Echo's still asleep. She doesn't move much, or really at all, her body stiff like a plank. She doesn't look at peace, more or less she looks like she's in pain. The tips of her fingers had turned a blackish purple, almost like frostbite. It's slowly fading, though.
The room isn't too destroyed, most of the damage being stuff knocked over. The ice from earlier is melting.

Well, Time just went back to waiting.
Offline
It was a bit of a long wait, but Silence eventually returned. She held a cup out to Time and said, "Drink this."
Offline
"What is it?" Time asked, eyeing the cup in her hand
Offline
"Healing tea to fix that leg wound, idiot," Silence answered. "You honestly think I'm going to (beep)ing poison you?"
Offline
"I mean..." Time gave a shrug.
"But honestly, just curious." He took the cup and stared into it.

The tea has a pretty pinkish tint to it. It smells extremely sweet, maybe overly sweet. At least it won't be terribly bitter.
"Hmph," came the barely response from Silence. She then walked over to Echo, fixing her sister's hair.
"Hm? What the hell?!" Silence quietly hissed. "The hell she's been doing to her eye?! What the literal (censor)?! Gods, this is going to take so much (beep)ing healing. You know anything about this?!"
Silence moved to show Time Echo's scratched up and scarred eyelid/face, her own eyes glaring at him to frighten any information out of him.
Offline
((I'm trying to remember if Time does or not lol))
Time stared at it, "No, I don't really think so. But it looks like it hurts. Something Octave related, I feel."
Offline
(He does. Echo explained to him that she scratches herself, especially that side of her face, while they were in the cave. She does it because that eye resembles Octave)
"(Censor)ing... Is that it? Is that all you know?"
Offline
((Oh thanks lol))
"Looks like self-inflicted as well." Time said, taking another sip of the tea "I'm pretty sure that eye is a weird one if I remember correctly. Don't you know that?"
Offline
The tea is extremely sweet-tasting, almost too much to handle. Time will probs notice that the skin on his leg is starting to tighten, some of the pain in it going away as he sips the tea.
"I obviously didn't (beep)ing know that!" Silence growled, gently covering Echo's eye back up with hair. Silently, Silence took one of Echo's arms and rolled the sleeve up, studying Echo's skin. Silence muttered profanities.
Offline
Time didn't look but he probably already guessed what it looked like, "Is it bad?"
Offline
"Horrible," Silence answered, rolling Echo's sleeve back up.
Silence doesn't sound disgusted, but she does sound angry. It didn't seem to be directed at Echo, though.
"Finish your tea. I'll be going downstairs to prepare medicine for her. After your done, you can leave if you want, or you can stay for a while and watch her or something. I don't give a (censor). Just don't get in my way. If you have any other information I need to know, hurry up and get it out."
Offline
((I'm trying to remember what Time does and doesn't know with not too much avail lol, but I'll see))
"Sure." Time said downing the tea at once and cringing a bit at the taste, "Why's it so sweet?"
Offline
(RIP)
"Healing magic," was the vague answer.
Offline
((Mhm yes I will just assume now yes))
"Wow. Thanks " Time just nodded and continued on sitting in place.
Offline
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Silence left the room, going downstairs.
Offline
"Should I just watch her or...?" Time called out downstairs, walking over to the entrance of the room to make sure his call was heard.
Offline
"If you want, sure," Silence yelled back.
