Looks like we made it through another October. About damn time it was over, too.

...Couldn't agree more.

[She comes sit beside him, still looking a bit drained but considerably better than when they crawled their way out of the Underground a day ago. Oh no, Ken's not the only one who's been avoiding people. She's contemplating returning home tonight.]

I think I made it to November in one piece. The jury's still out on that one.

[ ooc: Here! ♥ ]

If you're still breathing, you made it in one piece.

[He didn't even look over at her when she joined him.]

action soulofocean November 2 2010, 02:15:15 UTC

[She nods quietly, a bit too lost in herself to notice.]

...Thanks, Ken. For everything.

action bladed_siberian November 2 2010, 02:24:24 UTC

[Sighing, he lets his head sink back to rest on the back of the couch, his eyes closing.]

... yeah.

action soulofocean November 2 2010, 02:30:47 UTC

[...If he's feeling the same way she feels... No, he's feeling worse. Umi knows he had it even harder. But understands there's very little she can say to make it easier at the moment.

She just stays there beside Ken, offering support by her presence as she deals with her own share of the memories.]

action bladed_siberian November 2 2010, 02:33:34 UTC

You know, I used to like killing people. I looked forward to missions.

[His voice is soft, hesitant, to the point of being barely audible.]

action soulofocean November 2 2010, 02:39:16 UTC

[...That he's bringing this up now... Umi's eyes, that had fallen closed, open now to a glassy stare as memories from the nightmares mingle with those recent ones.

Ken...]

Ken, you dealt with that. This thing was different.

action bladed_siberian November 2 2010, 02:43:59 UTC

It took time in prison to deal with it.

action soulofocean November 2 2010, 02:48:07 UTC

[Umi bites her lip so hard she actually draws blood. So... it actually happened. What Ken saw back then, like a year ago in the damn fountain... happened.

She ALWAYS told herself it was a lie. That Ken would never have to-!

She forces herself to get a grip.]

It took what it took. But you DID... deal. And you can deal with this too. I believe in you.

action bladed_siberian November 2 2010, 02:49:56 UTC

Maybe I'll believe that in a few days, once my face stops itching, or once I can actually sleep more than two hours at a time.

[He absently reaches up to scratch at his bandaged cheek.]

action soulofocean November 2 2010, 02:52:23 UTC

[She almost reaches to slap his hand away out of pure instinct but refrains. Stupid. Like THAT'S the part of it that hurts him most now...]

Then I'll tell you again in a few days. Or as many times as it takes for it to sink in. I've faith in you and that's never going to change.

action bladed_siberian November 2 2010, 03:00:24 UTC

.. Mara doesn't trust me.

action soulofocean November 2 2010, 03:02:21 UTC

...Mara went through a lot these days. Just like we did.

[Doesn't she remember what Ken told her he did... to Mara... How they laughed together at that.

Umi wishes she could find words to encourage her brother to recover from something like that.]

action bladed_siberian November 2 2010, 03:31:06 UTC

I couldn't make it work with Mamoru, and it looks like-

[A beep pulls his attention away as he reaches into his pocket and flips open his handheld. Scowling, he watches the screen for a moment before he closes the device once again, this time tossing it into a nearby chair.]

... I hate this place.

action soulofocean November 2 2010, 03:32:46 UTC

[She clearly tenses at the reaction.]

...What the heck is going on now...?

action bladed_siberian November 2 2010, 03:35:52 UTC

... nothing.

[The answer sounds a little sullen as if he really didn't want to say it. Shaking his head, he sighs and closes his eyes once again.]
