48th Song [Action]

[huntressrip]

[In her time being blind, Rip's adjusted... more or less. Today she's attempting to wander outside the house. Being inside for so long was starting to get to her! She needed to be outside, to wander and hopefully maim some poor unsuspecting creature.

At her side is her faithful hell cat, attempting to look after her Mistress. More or less, when she'

Action

[verlorenscasket]

He wasn't one to usually wander too far out of his home once the bad weather hit and he looked more like an eskimo than anything else right now, but he needed to gather snow to melt into water to fill up his tank. He didn't expect to run in to Rip. Or notice that something about her seemed a little...off.

"Rip? That you?"

Re: Action

[huntressrip]

She pauses the moment she hears foot steps in the snow and tilts her head. All her senses go to work trying to figure out who it might be, yet.. it is his voice that tells her.

Rip manages a smile as she turns in his general direction, the bandages over her eyes in plain sight now.

"Of courze Frau~. Vho else vould it be?"

[verlorenscasket]

It was when she turned around that he realized why she seemed like she was moving a little differently. He almost dropped the bucket of snow he had been gathering up.

"What happened to your eyes?"

[huntressrip]

The smile fades a little as she becomes still for a moment. "An accident vith one of my housemates. Zhat iz all. I hope zhe vill be grown back zoon. Already it iz taking longer zhat I had zhought."

[verlorenscasket]

He takes a couple steps closer. He thinks about reaching up to touch the bandages but he thinks better of it, "Have you seen a healer about it?" If only Lab were here. He was better at this sort of thing than he was.

[huntressrip]

Rip is unaware of how close he's gotten, just that he's near. There a faint shake of her head. "Vat gute vill it do me? I do not zee zhe point of healers ven I am technically dead."

[verlorenscasket]

"Just because you're dead doesn't mean they can't regenerate your lost body parts." He's trying his best to keep the worry from his voice. He could press for details, but he decided not to. For whatever reason she wasn't telling him what, exactly, happened with her roommate. He wasn't going to force her.

[huntressrip]

The 'incident' wasn't one she wanted to discuss. Perhaps in time she would, but not while she was healing. Not while the reminders were still fresh under the bandages.

After a few moments, she gives a soft sigh and turns her head towards his voice. Even though he was trying to keep the worry out, she could still hear it.

"Fine, but I doubt zhe vill be able to help zpeed up zhe process."

[verlorenscasket]

"You never know until you try, right?"

It wasn't until he tried bending his elbow to put his hand in his pocket that he realized his joints were starting to ice over. Shit. Worry distracted him.

"I have to go inside. It's too cold out here. Just promise me you'll at least talk to a healer."

[huntressrip]

Rip nods slightly as she shifts her umbrella around a little. She really didn't feel the cold and she had enough of a temperature to keep the ice away.

"Perhaps you are right. Ve vill zee vat zhey haf to say. Und.. I vould be more zhan zhrilled to accompany you if you vished, or I could go back to my vanderings."

[verlorenscasket]

"I wouldn't mind having some company." As a matter of fact he might need your help a little in getting some warmth back to his joints mostly because he isn't sure he can bend his arms very well at the moment.

[huntressrip]

"Zhen I vill come vith you~." A smile graces her lips as she moves closer to where his voice was. If he needed heat, she was more than happy to help him with that in whatever way he desired.

[verlorenscasket]

"Thank you." He isn't entirely sure how well her perception is at the moment so he walks a little slower than usual so she can keep up with him, taking a path that he already cleared on his way over. Upon returning home he sets his buckets of snow in the kitchen to let them thaw into water before bringing the fire back to life.

Slowly and what seemed like a little painfully he shrugged off his outerwear and stood by the fire.

"Rip, could you do me a favor?"

[huntressrip]

Rip's perception was good for being blind, but still slightly off. So she followed his lead as best she could until they reached their destination. Once inside she lowered her umbrella and relaxed a little, working off some of her outer garments when he spoke.

Her head went up as she turned towards his voice. "Vat do you need?"

As for the fire.. she could feel the heat but was cautious on getting too close.

[verlorenscasket]

He took a couple steps closer to her so she didn't have to worry about walking in to the fire hazard. He wasn't sure how much she could perceive so he took her hand in on of his and put it on his own elbow. She would feel that it was as cold as the snow outside.

"It's difficult for me to move too much so could you help me warm my joints?"

[huntressrip]

She felt her hand being moved and soon rested on something freezing even to her touch. Rip tilted her head as she took a step closer and wrapped her warmer hands around his elbow.

"Of courze~. Vat do you haf in mind to varm you up?"
