[See Riqis, rolling over in bed after a very busy Sunday of dragon-slaying. He looks fairly bruised and a quick-bandaged gash on his shoulder looks like it'll need some proper tending. He drags himself upright on one hand, and inspects his Soul Eater, propped up at the end of the bed.]
Ow... I'm coming down to see you healers in a little bit. Once ( Read more... )

Just...took a little more out of me than I expected.

...Do you want me to come with you to the healers?

...Guess that's as good as Sora's handled, right?
If you want. Yeah. I'm on my way down.

Okay.

Still, Riqis smiles wanly at the sight of her]

Hey.

[He winces guiltily in return, embarrassed that she needs to see him like this, that he can't hide his weaknesses, his war wounds, his failings yet again.
Should have tried harder when anyone's offered, to learn healing spells, but he's been focused on offense, on defense, on anything but minding his own condition for much too long.
But he puts on a brave face, meeting her.]
Did...did you get to see how big he got? Ryu...he barely fit through the street. I'm still not really sure what happened...

Mm. I saw. It still doesn't make sense that something like that would just... happen.
[Brave face or no, those injuries were distracting; she was trying not to stare, but she kept looking out of the corner of her eye. She'd been meaning to learn to heal, but--... but she wasn't going to risk messing something like this up. Still, she should have been doing something to help, other than walking next to him and hoping she wouldn't have to catch him because his body finally decided to keel over.]
...Do you want some help?

[He shrugged his uninjured shoulder and held out a hand for her to take.]
I'm not sure what went wrong at all, but he definitely didn't act like Ryu I know.

[...Well, it wasn't that helpful, but-- she reached out and took hold of his hand. She'd have offered to help hold him up, but... that was kind of-- how did one say that, exactly? So she'd just have to settle for holding onto his hand.]
No, he didn't. Can he always do things like that, or-- did he just suddenly turn into a monster? [In more than one sense of the word.]
Reply
[He admits quietly, grasping her hand and leaning slightly for a bit more support than he'd usually allow himself.]
He's...he's turned into a dragon before, at least I think it was him, but... he's never gone and attacked anybody.

Hm. It would be a lot easier to figure out what happened if we knew how that worked.

[He looks to her worriedly, sighing]
Maybe Rei knows...
