5 ☪ Action / Accidental Voice

[my_safe_corner]

[Today, Luceti, you will be able to find someone bleeding around the edge of town today...

Or well, from any other angle than his own, to those who walk by, it will look somewhat like a small fountain of black ink coming from out of one of his arms. Some of it, dripping to the ground, but the rest? It's slowly taking an odd looking shape as it

[Why is it people are always running around getting into such trouble with themselves? She just wants to walk around and admire the natural flow of winter, and you people go bleeding all over her happy fun ti-

Bleeding!!]

Crona-san! What happened? Your arm-!

[She approaches quickly, putting on her best motherly face. This looks horrible!]

[Action]

[It's not like he walked around the middle of town and bled all over the place. He was hoping it could just be overlooked.

But he practically jumps five feet at hearing her, and tries to cover his arm with his other hand...but of course that fails spectacularly.]

U-uhm..it's...

[Words cannot explain! His face is pretty much saying 'ah crap' though.]

Re: [Action]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[She pauses a few feet away, eyes wide and full of confusion.]

What is that, coming from your arm, Crona-san? Is that...?

[Blood?

Ah, she must've just lost track of its color, that's all. That's how it normally was, right? Forgetting silly little details, things like that. But she slowly crosses the small gap between them, a hand held out to hover, but not to touch.]

You're hurt! We have to do something, before you get sick...

[Action]

[my_safe_corner]

[And as soon as she gets close enough, he promptly takes a few steps back out of instinct.]

N-no, it's okay!

[And then more whispered, pretty much said to himself-]

It should stop bleeding soon.

Re: [Action]

[whats_a_sneeze]

Should? But Crona-san, you can't expect it to just stop without some help-you could faint! [Noting that instinctual retreat, so she crouches down to be lower than him.] Are you sure? It's not painful, is it?

[Action]

[my_safe_corner]

But...it kind of helps itself. [Or the thing inside his blood should help. And he looks a bit confused by that last question.] ...Should it be painful?

Re: [Action]

[whats_a_sneeze]

I-of course it should hurt, if you're bleeding!

...

You don't feel anything at all?

[Action]

[my_safe_corner]

It only hurts a little bit.

Re: [Action]

[whats_a_sneeze]

... All right, then we'll just cover it up at least, okay?

[After a moment, she pulls off her scarf and leans in, aiming to press it against the injury.]

[Action]

[my_safe_corner]

...Okay.

[He'll very hesitantly hold out his arm to her. But he will not make a single wince at any pressure on his arm, and what she'll feel is a long hard spot over where the cut should be.]

Re: [Action]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[...Strange-very strange. But she just ignores her own confusion and wraps the arm. And, slowly, unsure, she puts a hand on his other arm. The worry on her face is practically tangible.]

...Are you sure you're okay, Crona-san?

[Action]

[my_safe_corner]

[And he looks very confused by the worry. No one has worried this much over him ever.]

Y-yes, I'm fine..

Re: [Action]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[It's okay, that worry fades, just a little. Enough for her to smile a tiny smile.]

...Good. You've got to be more careful, you know! Luceti can be a little hectic, so if something hurts you, you should definitely make sure someone looks at it properly!

[Action]

[my_safe_corner]

I'm not used to doing that though.. [Normally, his cuts can heal pretty quickly. It's not often that he bleeds very much.]

Re: [Action]

[whats_a_sneeze]

Well, no one's ever used to something at first, but all it takes is a little while before you're comfortable, you know. I know you're very shy, but... I have faith that you'll become more confident in your skin, Crona-san.

[Action]

[my_safe_corner]

...I don't know about that.. [His personality just doesn't allow something like that very easily..]
