[The feed clicks on when the communicator's owner sits up with a start and smacks the device with his hand, and while he's quiet for the time being, one glance at his face shows he is far from at ease ( Read more... )

Luke? You're--

[...] Hey. Welcome back.

figurespeaking January 25 2010, 00:43:02 UTC

What happened?

embracethewaves January 25 2010, 00:44:18 UTC

I don't know, but you...

...Do you know what room you're in? I'm in the lobby. [NOT THAT I WAS WAITING OR ANYTHING.]

figurespeaking January 25 2010, 00:51:23 UTC

There was this-- this thing, Umi I've never seen anything like it-- [Catches himself before he rambles for too long, holding his breath for a minute or two.]

... I think the door says 213.

embracethewaves January 25 2010, 01:04:32 UTC

[hfgkhd this doesn't get easier ever, omg ;_; I...it's okay. You don't have to say it, Luke.

[...] Right. I'll be there in a minute.

figurespeaking January 25 2010, 01:14:08 UTC

[He's not even sure how he would. So he's relatively glad for you telling us to shush.]

...thanks.

[She doesn't say anymore; simply slips the communicator into her pocket and heads up the stairs. She's uncomfortably familiar with the hospital layout by now, and she should have known that it was too quiet lately...

She puts those thoughts aside as she reaches the door, knocking a few times before pushing the door open.]

Luke...?

figurespeaking January 25 2010, 03:25:47 UTC

[He's folded up in as much of a corner as there really is in a hospital bed, one knee drawn to his chest with his arm hooked around it and his chin resting against the back of his hand, watching the communicator intently. Largely because it's the closest thing to companionship he had until actual people showed up. He looks up and smiles a bit.]

So this is... probably gonna sound kinda weird, but ...I think I died.

embracethewaves January 25 2010, 04:55:22 UTC

[There aren't many times that Umi is left completely unknowing of what to say...but this is definitely one of them. It's not hard to sympathize with what he's feeling -- it was an experience that no one should have to come back from. The smile just makes it a little more heartbreaking, a little more unfair -- it seemed so much like Hikaru, putting on a brave face...

She stepped into the room, moved to sit beside him on the hospital bed. After a little while, she leans closer, nudges him in the arm.]

...It's not that weird.

figurespeaking January 25 2010, 05:06:50 UTC

[The smile persists, possibly widening a little when she nudges him. You're really good at making people feel comfortable, Umi, you know that? It's a good thing. He shrugs his shoulders lightly, shifting to sit Indian-style with his hands clasped around his ankles.]

I guess it's just weird to... feel like I died, or know I did, but... still be here. I mean... [Goes quiet, setting his hand over his heart, almost as if checking to be sure it's still beating.]

embracethewaves January 25 2010, 06:54:50 UTC

[She's quiet for a while, because God does she know how that feels. It isn't right. It's comforting, in a weird way, but it isn't right.]

... I know what you mean. It's-- [...] It's weird, right? That's not how it's supposed to work.

[And not coming back from something like that...might be a better thing, in the end.]

figurespeaking January 25 2010, 07:22:16 UTC

Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'd rather be dead or anything, but... [Kind of rubs at his collarbone and hunches up, making himself as small as he can.] I can still feel it.

embracethewaves January 25 2010, 07:39:16 UTC

No...I'm with you there. It's just... [Wrong. In every sense of the word. It's not supposed to happen that way. But still...

She reaches over to grab his hand.]

I'm glad you're back, Luke.

figurespeaking January 25 2010, 07:41:15 UTC

...heh.

[Twists his hand around and squeezes hers for half a second, smiling.] Glad to be back.

embracethewaves January 25 2010, 07:57:16 UTC

[She smiles a little in return, and then takes a breath, glancing around.] I dunno about you, but hospitals give me the creeps. Discedo is Discedo, but there's gotta be a better place to go than this.

figurespeaking January 25 2010, 08:01:23 UTC

Not like there's any reason for me to be here. [Scoots to the edge of the bed and dangles his feet, picking up his communicator and fiddling with it.]

...was I gone for long?
