Pre-θ 8 - Forgiveness

[ooc: Before the Recursive Mind plot.]

[his shoulder twinges slightly, making him wince every now and then from the pain emanating from the wound every time he moves his arm in any single way. he really wishes it would just hurry up and heal; he rather likes having full range of motion for both arms. after checking the bar, he figured that it's ( Read more... )

[Oliver is sitting by a tree not far from where the Doctor is speaking to the wildlife. it's not his usual forest spot, but that's the point, really. he's been avoiding the places anyone would expect him to be, not to mention anywhere other people might spend much time. after what happened, he's afraid to face anyone--but most of all the Doctor ( ... )

[he starts to smile but it fades when he sees Oliver's state. softly] I'm fine. Still a bit stiff. [starts to move his right arm, but he winces and stops before he can move it to even wave a little] Well, maybe a little more than "a bit". But what happened to you?

oliverplus March 27 2011, 01:19:41 UTC

[frowns worriedly, but at least that gives him the impetus to move a little closer, trying to get a look at the Doctor's arm] Did you get it seen to?

Ah...I... [for once, it's not the injury itself that he's embarrassed and upset about. he lowers his gaze in shame, his response soft] I couldn't stop the watch.

bit_impossible March 27 2011, 20:01:50 UTC

Course, I did! [pulls out the hospital bracelet from his pocket] See? If I hadn't, well...I'd be a new man with a daft bowtie. But I did, and look! I'm still me. Only got out of hospital, ohhhh... [trails off, thinking]...maybe a day or two ago cumulatively, hence the stiffness. [pulls a slight face there as he knows that's a bold-faced lie]

But enough about me. [starts walking slowly towards Oliver] It's all right that you didn't. You tried right? I hope that knock to your noggin isn't from you tripping and falling against a particularly harmful clock gear.

oliverplus March 27 2011, 23:53:11 UTC

[cringes at that reminder of how badly he injured the Doctor] I... [shakes his head. "I'm sorry" just doesn't cut it] I hope it heals up soon.

[takes a few steps back] It's not! I-I don't even know what happened! Donna... [shakes his head again] She was gone when I woke up. I don't know if...if...

bit_impossible March 28 2011, 01:21:36 UTC

[wags a finger at him.] Don't you dare. I told you it wasn't your fault what happened to me.

[keeps on walking towards him] Ollie, you're here, aren't you? The others are out as well. Whatever you did helped her. [ignores the fact that that name sounds familiar]

oliverplus March 28 2011, 01:52:55 UTC

[takes another nervous step back] I-I know! [but it doesn't change what he thinks]

But how do you know? [he didn't see anyone on his way out, but he wishes he could be sure]

bit_impossible March 28 2011, 02:08:44 UTC

No. No, you don't know, or else you wouldn't keep moving away from me. [slips his good hand into his pocket, giving Oliver a knowing look]

I know because I've spoken to others who've been in the maze. Like Riku, he's fine. And Morgana as well, though she's a bit injured.

oliverplus March 28 2011, 02:17:46 UTC

[avoids his gaze, saying nothing]

[but he looks back up at that, surprised] You have!? It's not bad, is it? She'll be all right?

bit_impossible March 28 2011, 02:24:58 UTC

[he smiles easily] Oh yeah. She's a fighter, that one. Fought two of those clockwork warriors on her own, you know.

oliverplus March 28 2011, 02:32:25 UTC

[sighs in relief and nods] Yeah. Okay, that's good. Wow. [he couldn't even handle a few insects]

bit_impossible March 28 2011, 02:42:30 UTC

Well, helps when you're adept with a sword. But! Moving on...well, moving back, anyway, to you. I meant what I said about wanting you to come back with me, and from the looks of things, you need a bit of looking to, even if that wound is old.

oliverplus March 28 2011, 02:47:21 UTC

[fidgets uncomfortably, looking down in such a way as to attempt to hide the bump from the Doctor's view] It's fine. Really.

I don't...I'm not sure if that's a good idea...

bit_impossible March 28 2011, 12:29:51 UTC

Oliver Day, if you even think of giving me the speech you gave me back all those years ago...

oliverplus March 28 2011, 12:39:04 UTC

No! I just... [avoids his gaze, shifting uncomfortably] I'm not sure I'm ready.

bit_impossible March 28 2011, 12:49:12 UTC

[arches an eyebrow, taking a step forward] Ready for...what, exactly? Seeing the universe? Travelling in time? You can't stay here forever. You've got to understand that bad things happen. Out of all my companions, you've been very lucky not to have met some of the more dangerous enemies I've got skulking around in the dark corners of the universe. They make the Puppeteer and that watch spirit look like fluffy rabbits.
