[Since there wasn't really a body left to reanimate, the Dressing Room has been recovering all the dust particles that were once the Healer. They come together all at once in the hallway in front of you to form a rather gray statue of what could be any Allen and there's an audible POP as it suddenly changes from gray to Allen's normal appearance

[...you know.

that looked an awful lot like dust a second ago. Or ash.

and it had better fucking not have been ash

But the language.... Reaching down to touch a hand to his shoulder from behind.]

...Sprout?

[ahealallsmile]

[It was most definitely ash. D: Sorry!

He starts and tilts his head back at the touch, a hand coming up to cover the one on him. Shaky sort of smile.]

Lavi. [Give him a moment or two and he'll switch back.]

[explosiverabbit]

[......... Oh hell no.

It takes him a moment to outright register that Allen has said his name - there were odd little inflections that didn't sound quite right - but once he has Lavi offers a smile himself. He hopes it's more comforting than he feels.]

Hey, Allen. [Yes. Definitely heard that right. Crouching down beside him, though his hand stays where it is.] Ya think you're okay?

[ahealallsmile]

[Frowning a little, mostly out of concern because really he doesn't quite know yet that he's died. Only that he's having trouble remembering the last four days and there was that burst of pain just as he died.

Have a slow nod.] I-I think so. Lavi, what happened to me?

[explosiverabbit]

M'not entirely sure.... but I have a few ideas.

[Reaching a hand up to check Allen's forehead, though it's mostly for the sake of the show than anything.]

What do you remember?

[ahealallsmile]

[He might feel slightly feverish, hasn't been feeling too well even before that whole Akuma attack. So leaning in to the touch as he closes his eyes to better remember.]

There was this monster...eating? I guess it was eating. Someone in a yellow suit, then this smaller one came out and started screeching. Four big ones came out and started chasing me. They somehow cut me off and fired at me, I thought they missed because I didn't feel hurt or anything but then...nothing.

[Laughs a little] I'm sorry, you must think I'm crazy.

[explosiverabbit]

[...Monsters? It sounded like the more common version of Akuma around here. Which means that...

Bastards.]

Don't think you're crazy at all, yeah? [Moving that hand against his forehead to run it through the Sprout's hair. Trying his damnedest to just... be comforting. Because he has a pretty damn good idea of what happened.] Think ya can walk?

[ahealallsmile]

[Can you explain it to him? Because he isn't really connecting the facts that he died. Not yet. And you're doing a good job at the comforting because he isn't feeling as panicky as he was a few moments ago.

Nodding, but not enough to dislodge his hand.] I think so. Lavi...what were they?

[explosiverabbit]

...Pretty sure they were Akuma. Not much like the ones from my world, but Akuma all the same.

[He can. And probably will. Just... give him a few minutes. Has issues with people he likes dying and all.]

[ahealallsmile]

[Pauses.] Th-those didn't look like the Akuma I know. [His kind of resemble gryphons but...

Leaning into Lavi's hand more now, eyes still closed as he tries to get it back on his forehead.]

[explosiverabbit]

'Ve heard they're different from the ones I know, too. Bit more to 'em.

[Pressing his hand back to Healer's forehead, in that case. But moving the other arm to hug him.]

[ahealallsmile]

[Shifts a little at the surprise hug yet he just leans into the contact, feeling better with something to hold on to. That would be his hands gripping at Lavi's shirt.]

I think I rather the ones from home.

[explosiverabbit]

Can kinda see why, yeah?

[He doesn't mind, really. Leaning his head against Allen's, just a little.]

...Hey, Sprout?

[ahealallsmile]

[Those things were easier to kill. Could bludgeon them to death, even! 8D

Slight nosing?] Mmm?

[explosiverabbit]

[Lavi's kind of opponent. 8D

B-baww. Don't nose at him. He's about to ruin your mood. Feel that hug tightening just a bit?]

...Think ya might've died.

[ahealallsmile]

[Gryphons have a better shot against them but yeah, humans can take'em.

;; Stiffening in his hold and his grip tightens on the fabric of Lavi's shirt.]

A-are you... ["sure?"] I-I don't re-remember ["dying..."]
