[video] --- forward dated to about 6am monday morning.

[bloodshedlament]

[The video of the BRAND SPANKIN NEW COMMUNICATOR...opens up at the bed side of a hospital bed. Lying on it is Souji who seems to be deeply asleep. - after about thirty minutes of him just lying there asleep, he finally stirs. His stomach is aching- for obvious reason, re growing organs is not pleasant. Over all, he is perfectly healed he just look

Comments

Action?

[inyourgarden]

[And this would be Seifer knocking on the doorway to catch Souji's attention.]

Action......>.>

[bloodshedlament]

[Most people he knew wouldn't even knock- which leaves a couple people it could be. He stares at it, contemplating going back to sleep. However he smiles]

Come in.

[wow his voice sounds more hoarse then normal.]

Action!

[inyourgarden]

[Lmao normally Seifer wouldn't knock, but this isn't a social call. So he just steps in and leans against the wall, arms crossed as he regards Souji.]

Feelin' alright?

Action

[bloodshedlament]

[Well his second guess was right. He smiled at him all the same.]

No...not really. But I'm fine.

[Souji gets the feeling this is anything but social.]

Action

[inyourgarden]

[Spoiler: Seifer doesn't make social calls sob. Anyways he just tilts his head still watching Souji.]

Y'wanna tell me what all that was about then?

Action

[bloodshedlament]

I would really rather forget it, however...I'll be blunt.

[aka- lets give you every other reason to scold him and NOT figure out he still has rather active tuberculosis.]

I went towards the hospital to respond to call I got there, as I was on my way I spotted Riful. I guess it was no surprise that I had no clue she was behind this, and when I found out it was a bit late. I guess I wasn't strong enough. Now are you going to scold me for trying or for ignoring your orders?

Action

[inyourgarden]

[Fff he doesn't know about the TB at all |Db You're safe for now Souji. ...Though lmao even if he knew he'd be pretty enh about it. His priorities are a little skewed.]

Actually I was gonna scold you for goin' alone. Ain't much point in bein' on a Watch if you don't work with everyone else and it ain't like we don't have people to spare, even during emergencies.

So what'd you do to piss Riful off?

Action

[bloodshedlament]

[Souji just has a thing against people knowing. although, anyone who saw him die the first time know real well he has it. He is glad though.]

Oh?...well I was confident I could handle it...like I said I had no idea she was like that until we started talking. Then I coughed up blood and that seemed to grab her attention I had a cut, then a reaver appeared and the next thing I knew I was against a wall. Cut my shoulder to get down, although...that reminds me.

[a long pause.--------HIS SWORD. He lets out a nervous chuckle. Oh Riful. you are soooo dead.]

So where is she?

[He smiles curtly. But he still feels like throwing up the insides he just gained. Every time he thinks about the -uh....well he does remember having his sword when he died. Where was it now....Riful..this was not good.]

Action

[inyourgarden]

Not here.

[He smiles a bit sardonically himself. Maybe he doesn't know Souji all that well, but he's had four months to get to know Riful.]

You gonna be straight with me? I can't say she was exactly tryin' her hardest there.

[Bit of a pause]

You played her stupid game didn't you.

[Since that's, fff, all he can think for how Souji could have been caught by her.]

Action

[bloodshedlament]

I hadn't been getting much sleep- in case you didn't notice. I was hardly in the position to fight to be honest.

[Souji would have died had she passed him up, he was no match for much of anyone in the condition he was in.]

Although...

[his expression quickly turns semi serious]

My sword could not cut her body...If I could secure a blade that could then I could have easily done better. But all I have is that sword...so I don't think I'll be going up against her anytime soon.

Action

[inyourgarden]

You know telling me that just makes you look like an idiot I shouldn't trust with anything right?

[Just saying. Anyways, hnnn, he didn't bother fighting Riful since he knew he couldn't do anything against her. But that also means he doesn't actually know what her powers are specifically besides apparently turning into a giant tentacle monster.]

What else'd she do?

Action

[bloodshedlament]

I suppose it does, but I'll let you think what you want of me.

[Souji just smiles. Because right now he couldn't give a rats furry bottom about how people see him. He knows he's a good fighter, and that he is most certainly not an idiot. Although- it is nostalgic to be called that. So in essence the comment made him slightly happier. He would probably hug the guy if he didn't feel like he was going to throw up any minute. Which is why he suddenly leans back and grumbles.]

Can I pass on remembering things until my stomach is settled? I'll answer anything you want to know...but on that, lets just wait alright?

[he looks slightly green in the face and if not that, his eyes give off that he remembers every single minute of it up until he died.]

Action

[inyourgarden]

[Seifer actually smiles a little. Just a little. Ah being eaten... ...Yes only Seifer would remember that sort of thing fondly. Anyways... he doesn't think Souji's stupid, but he's not sure he thinks Souji's brilliant either. It's... somewhere in between. He'll see.]

What I think is you don't wanna tell me somethin'.

[He tilts his head a bit and looks Souji over.]

But alright. We need to stop settin' a trend of you bein' in the hospital. Pretty sure Seguchi's gonna have a heart attack you keep this up.

[He waves and turns to go back out the door. It's not like any of this is information he particularly needs Right Now, so.]

Action

[bloodshedlament]

Segu- oh crap!

[Souji completely forgot. He was going to never be let out of the house again. He wondered if he could con Ryuichi into telling him a secret or two about how to get back on Tohma's good side over night. However, Souji quickly glanced at the door.]

Seifer-san! Wait. ...

[he pauses- giving him a serious look.]

I know you are hiding something from me too....although it really doesn't matter to me. Let's get one thing straight. I don't trust you...but I will follow your orders, just answer me this....Do you aim to protect those in this city as the head of the Watch?

Action

[inyourgarden]

[Seifer stops, but doesn't turn around. There's silence as he thinks that over.]

I'd be an idiot not to.

[Because he needs them. All of them. And if he doesn't improve their lives, their skills, protect their interests, he'd be a fool to think he could get anywhere.]

You're right I am hiding things Souji. But I will tell you I'm a knight and I'll do everything I can while I'm here. I don't plan on losing.

[He looked over his shoulder at Okita.]

That it?

Action

[bloodshedlament]

Yes. That's all....Well then. Please wait for me, I should be out of here in no time.

[and with that he grinned and leaned back against the bed]
