[adonis_coil]

[Just when you thought you'd gotten peace and quiet at last]

TORI-SAN!

[long_dragon]

[w-was chilling on his bed orz why]

..... Ayame.

[adonis_coil]

[There's no sound for a moment after the door closes. Then just footsteps]

Tori-san! [Brushes cool fingers across Hatori's forehead] ... And here I'd already used all of my good pirate jokes.

[long_dragon]

[f-freezes for a split second]

... You'd be the first one to make one, actually.

[adonis_coil]

[There's a rustle of fabric, the brush of some wide gesture]

Well, I HAVE always been something of a pioneer.

[adonis_coil]

... [A great deal quieter as he continues]

Gure-san says it's not bad...?

[long_dragon]

... It's not, Raphael-san has already healed most of it and I only need to wear this [touches the eyepatch with his fingers] for a few more days.

[adonis_coil]

All at once, this place... [A sigh]

If it's not too much to ask ... Is Tori-san all right, all the same?

[long_dragon]

I have been better, of course, but the worst has already passed. ... Did Shigure tell you?

[adonis_coil]

[There's a sweep of fabric, and then the short, quick tempo of footsteps of someone pacing... then suddenly stops with a HUFF]

Little to nothing at all!

[long_dragon]

... [siiighs and nods]

Do you want to know... the details...?

[adonis_coil]

Of course! [A half of a beat pause] Perhaps not details details, more in the way of general information, though even that may perhaps be passed on because Tori-san IS fine.

But that is aside the point!

[long_dragon]

... Ticky Mikk, not the person with the best reputation in camp. He approached me, I didn't respond the way he expected me to, and... this happened. My vision is fine, though.

[adonis_coil]

[Another long pause, no movement or sound at all. Then the matress shifts as someone sits down on it just a little bit aways]

Such a thing... it is a relief... This is..

Nevermind such things. It is NOT a disaster, most clearly, so in this short interim of Tori-san's inconvenience, I, Sohma Ayame, shall be of utmost assistance in a way only I may manage!

[long_dragon]

[for a moment there, it looks almost like his hand wants to reach for Ayame, but he hesitates and lets it rest on his own lap again]

... Ahh...?

[adonis_coil]

[Except that hand's already been snagged by Ayame's, and tugged on a bit by some energetic movement]

If it is but a desire, I shall acquire it! If a whim, I shall please it. I shall be Tori-san's eyes until he may use his own again as he should!
