002 [video] + [action for those on route 29]

Oct 08, 2010 00:48

[A blanket of black greets viewers when Miles' Pokégear is turned on, the machine taking a few seconds to adjust to the darkness of the night before Miles' face, lit up by the faint light of his screen, comes into view -- guess who's staying up past his bedtime?

Miles is being careful not to be so loud as he uses his Gear, and the soft snoring of ( Read more... )

[Apollo hasn't been sleeping very well either, though not because of nightmares. The ground is really not very comfortable to sleep on and the music in the forest never stopped playing.

He hears something out of place-- whispering?-- and wakes up completely. He sits up and looks over to see Edgeworth with his communicator.]

[Sort of groggily:] Couldn't sleep?

[action!] miniworth October 10 2010, 01:32:55 UTC

[Oh whoa Apollo's awake! Miles jumps: he thought he'd maken sure that Apollo was asleep-- guess he was wrong.]

O-oh... yes.
It's hard to settle down, I guess.

[action!] justicepuns October 10 2010, 01:37:12 UTC

[He's a tricky one, Miles.]

[Apollo ruffles his (ruined) hair and blinks a few times before answering and...

Oh. Oh, he's been crying.]

[Sort of awkwardly:] Yeah. The ground isn't the most comfortable place to sleep.

[action!] miniworth October 10 2010, 01:44:09 UTC

[Tricky tricky.]

[Miles closes his Pokégear and turns his face slightly away from the campfire. He should have wiped his face earlier - he doesn't want to worry Apollo too much, of course.]

We'll have to get used to it though. [He pats the dirt ground under him - it appears that he's leaning on his backpack, and hasn't even taken out his sleeping bag. He really wasn't planning on sleeping anytime soon, if at all. He wouldn't want to end up worrying Apollo if he had another of those nightmares.]

[action!] justicepuns October 10 2010, 01:53:41 UTC

[You do realize you're talking about Apollo, right, Miles?]

Yeah. It's nothing like home, is it? [He seems a little distracted]

[Apollo had promised Trucy that he'd try to help Miles in any way that he could but now that he's faced with it, he's not so sure he can do it. Is there a way to handle this without avoiding the obvious or making it worse?]

[action!] miniworth October 10 2010, 02:00:41 UTC

[Ah-hah, but Miles doens't know Apollo (even though everyone knows him fhdsljfh poor kid.)]

...I've never been camping before. My father was always busy. [He makes a movement as if he's rubbing his eyes and turns to Apollo - his face is dry again, although his eyes are a bit red.] Have you, Mr. Apollo? Camping I mean.

[Miles has made a habit out of changing the subject before it turns to anything remotely close to his father, and that is the course of action he's taking now, being that he's unsure just how much Apollo knows about him. It's a strange strange world with fire-breathing dogs and god-knows-what. He doesn't need to dwell on thoughts about his father's death. At least not for now.

He attempts a curious smile.]

[action!] justicepuns October 10 2010, 02:24:24 UTC

No, I've never been good with the outdoors.

[Apollo seems to debate saying something and decides against it. Instead he stretches a little.]

[action!] miniworth October 10 2010, 02:30:46 UTC

[Miles leans back further against his backpack and yawns. Staying up long nights isn't exactly good for a ten-year-old, y'know.]

I'm glad it's not thundering, though. We'll be able to start walking again.

[action!] justicepuns October 10 2010, 02:37:23 UTC

[Apollo definitely notices that Miles is tired. What do you do for that? How do you help someone sleep? He's feeling like he's in over his head a little.]

Hopefully we can beat the rain. I think we're close to Cherrygrove by now.

[action!] miniworth October 10 2010, 02:43:52 UTC

[Miles watches Apollo with slight concern. This man's expressions change often, don't they?]

We are. I hope.

[action!] justicepuns October 10 2010, 02:50:17 UTC

[Yes, yes they do. He notices Miles' concern.]

Is something wrong?

[action!] miniworth October 10 2010, 03:07:03 UTC

Ah, it's.. nothing.

I was just watching you. Your expression changes often.

[action!] justicepuns October 11 2010, 00:11:06 UTC

They do? [fff feeling a little self-conscious]

[action!] miniworth October 11 2010, 01:10:41 UTC

It reminds me of Wright. I'm not sure if that's a compliment to you or not, depending on the Wright you're used to.

[action!] justicepuns October 11 2010, 01:21:36 UTC

Honestly, me neither.

You hungry? We could eat now and start when the sun's up.

[action!] miniworth October 11 2010, 01:29:23 UTC

[As if on cue, Miles' stomach growls!]

....Yes. I think I'd like to eat. [HE IS EMBARRASSED can you tell.]
