Jul 13, 2010 16:26

[Filtered from Hazama, Hazama, and Hazama]

Uh.

[...

...oh the most sheepish of tones.]

If someone is near the tunnels, I could--

[and then there's a heavy shifting sound and a sleepy voice can be heard.]

Huh...?  [Followed by a sharp gasp.]

--hold that thought.

[Journal slam.  We'll be right back after these messages. >_>]

[It was one thing to wake up in a place you wouldn't expect to wake up in, all things considered after all these weeks. Or was it months? It's another thing to no longer feel like you're in pain. But then it's another thing to see...

Nami?

... What the hell? Is Noel dreaming?

Uh. Yeah. Don't mind her, she's just looking at you in utter shock.]

[After Nami slams the book, she just settles back on her heels and regards Noel cautiously.

...there's more life there. But she's still wary.]

...Noel?

[Noel wants to say something, she really does. It's like her words are caught in her throat, though. And at first, Noel's convinced she really is dreaming.

...or maybe not. Maybe it's just another cruel joke? Plausible. The mere thought stings, too, because it probably really isn't too far off from the truth.

But she'll finally speak, very quietly.] ... Nami.

[No. She's not falling for this. You're not going to trick her this time.]

[Answering is a very good sign, isn't it? The wary look gives way to nervousness and she leans closer, peering into Noel's face.]

How do you feel?

[That makes Noel more nervous, and she tries to shuffle back a bit when Nami leans in. Not that she has anywhere to go. She still has her initial suspicion, but... now she's really just not sure.]

I-- [........] f-fine.

[Yeah okay, enough of that. MORE IMPORTANT THINGS. You can have a smile instead, Noel.]

You're probably confused, huh? What's the last thing you remember?

...

She's still not sure if this is a trick or not. And her last memory--]

... W-Why?

[Why? Why do you think? But that long hesitation there is enough to clue in Nami that something's wrong. And after a short silence, she speaks more hesitantly, worry clear on her face.]

You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I probably don't need to know. I just want to make sure you're okay.

[And at that reminder of what had happened to Ragna what she's been told, her mind will make jump back to the past temporarily. Real or not, seeing Nami here... reminds her of what happened that day, so long ago.

But unlike Ragna, Nami should have been back by now, shouldn't she? ... Heh. It doesn't explain why they're here, in this place Noel doesn't recognize.

...or wait. Maybe she does recognize it.

She looks at Nami... if that's Nami, and Nami will probably notice the pained look on her face that almost immediately disappears.] ... Are we in the tunnels?

[Oh, she sees the pained look. But Nami can think of any number of reasons why Noel would look at her like that, and so she ignores it for now, answering the question.]

We are. [And hesitating. Maybe it's easier if she gives her the story from her side.] We rescued you from Hazama a week ago, Noel. But you were-- [...uh. Yeah.] ...sick. Really sick. And you were injured.

You're down in the tunnels because I took you to someone who could help. But Hazama is gone, Noel. For now. [Quietly.] Adell and a whole lot of others attacked him. He was hurt badly. He'll be recovering for a while.

[She's unsure for a second, again. That doesn't change the fact that she wants to believe this.

And she begins to. Slowly. After the initial shock of hearing all that. She was sick? There was a fight?

...they rescued her?

Okay. Let's try this again. Just to be safe.]

... N-Nami? [Is that really you? ;;]
