8 - Accidental Audio / Action?

[knowsvinewhip]

[There's a soft gasp. The otherwise comatose body stirs. He's bone pale, and in a good deal of pain, but he's alive. This time. And he's in an unfamiliar pod.]

[He lifts a shaking hand, studying it. The other, badly damaged arm doesn't move. He speaks, mostly to himself, in a hoarse, tired voice.]

Still not Hell, I see...[Hakkai clears his

Is late ok?

[the_brokenhorn]

[The com turns on briefly for a couple of seconds before abruptly cutting off. A few minutes later it turns on again to the sound of rustling and soft indistinct mutters.]

...is it...the light's on so it must be...

[Eventually the voice speaks up, becoming easier to hear.]

Excuse me Sir, can you hear me?

o/

[knowsvinewhip]

... Yes, I can.

[A pause.]

Have we met?

[the_brokenhorn]

[SUCCESS!!]

Sort of, I was in Doctor Kloe's house when she brought you there for treatment. You were only awake for a few seconds.

[He's not surprised you don't remember him.]

[knowsvinewhip]

Ah... well.

[He smiles, even if it's only audio.]

... it's a pleasure to meet you.

[the_brokenhorn]

You too.

[Polite boys are polite.]

Are you feeling better?

[knowsvinewhip]

Mm, I suppose being awake and alert counts as feeling better, doesn't it?

[the_brokenhorn]

It does. Your wounds were really bad.

[And probably still are.]

[knowsvinewhip]

Ahh... yes. I've lost the use of one arm for the time being.

[the_brokenhorn]

[THAT IS NOT THE DEFINITION OF FEELING BETTER.

Yeah, Chrono remembers the state of Hakkai's arm.]

Will it heal?

[knowsvinewhip]

[He chuckles softly.]

It should be useful again eventually.

The rhyming is unintentional I swear

[the_brokenhorn]

That's good. I'm glad.

[It looked really bad.]

ahaha

[knowsvinewhip]

As am I. It would be fairly problematic to do chores with only one arm for the rest of my life.

[the_brokenhorn]

[Oh, Chrono knows all about chores.]

Yeah, it would be.

[Look you made him laugh.]

[knowsvinewhip]

[Hakkai laughs softly, weakly.]

I'm glad someone is of the same opinion.

[the_brokenhorn]

[He doesn't like the sound of that.]

You still sound very weak. You should probably be resting.

[And here he is keeping you up.]

[knowsvinewhip]

I haven't left the bed, I assure you... Though... perhaps some sleep would be in order.
