[Ryu's awake again. He's still looking shaky, but not like he was before. He's actually on the rooftop of some random building crazy little dragon must have climbed the fire escape. He's looking at the stars and smiling sadly.]Do you remember? When I first met you, and I didn't know anything? Do you remember pointing out the stars in the sky? Do

[Aerith watches him quietly for a while, looking concerned]

Would you like some company?

[2yoraedragon]

... Yeah. I think I would. Thanks.

[cetraflowergirl]

[She sits next to him, clasping her hands around her knees] ...Were you in the mansion as well?

[2yoraedragon]

... I was. I was chasing after a friend of mine.

[Slowly approaches him. Despite the lack of sleep she's completely worried. Hands behind her back she just smiles some.]

Hey Ryu...glad to see you out of your comatose state. How are you...feeling?

[2yoraedragon]

[He looks back at Ema, and sighs.] I'm exhausted. I feel sick. But the bruise is gone.

... And I think I can move on, a little.

[Cloud enters as quietly as possible, and keeps his distance. After a while he speaks, voice soft.]

You all right now?

[2yoraedragon]

Now? I think so. [He smiles a little.]

[hopeful_hero]

Good. [Cloud shifts his weight.] I can't tell but...the bruise is gone, right?

[2yoraedragon]

Yeah. It's gone.

... Sorry again for snapping at you.

[smokinstripes]

Guess this means all that craziness is over?

[2yoraedragon]

Yup, I guess so. At least it seems to be, for now.

[smokinstripes]

Hey, any break's better than none. That weird bruise gone, too, then?

[2yoraedragon]

Yeah, it is.

I don't think I ever got your name. I'm Ryu.

[Aaand from somewhere hidden, there is a loud CRACK, followed by the giant apparation of a heart right in front of you.]

[2yoraedragon]

[MAJOR flailing!]

Wh - what?!

[gredn0tforge]

Well, isn't it obvious? It's a giant stalk o' broccoli.

[2yoraedragon]

... What's broccoli?
