[Accidental Video | Action for Saffron City]
[ The feed snaps on, and the interior shows it be somewhere in the... Pokemon Center? The feed shakes slightly and Bahamut the Gabite's face is briefly seen. Then he yelps as the Gear he was playing with is snatched from him, accompanied by the sound of a certain Haunter laughing in his face.
The camera swerves around wildly until- ]
--Riku, please!
Not a chance. [He puts his hands on his hips and leans forward.]
You're in no shape to be leaving town.
[ Oh dear. Oh me, oh my! Looks like they're having a spat squabbling. Xion makes a rude noise and holds her side and trying to stand up from the bed, but Riku's being a firm wall in the way. Hell, they seem so into the argument that they don't realize Phantom and his shenanigans with Bahamut looking on in wonder. ]
I'm fine. I can still move. I need to get these gifts out to the others.
If it's that important, can't you get someone else to send them? Mail to Johto can't be that much of a hassle.
[In the background, Phantom snickers. Riku doesn't take much notice, heaving an agitated sigh.]
What you need is rest, and lots of it. Hopping on a train is not going to help.
It's just a walk. I'm not exerting myself, and I want to see Roxas and Namine, and... and then I can...
[ No, she can't reveal her plans. Not to Riku, anyway, if he's being this vehement about her resting. She shakes her head, knowing words won't settle with him and quickly tries to get off and out of the bed. ]
I don't think so.
[Nope, sorry. That won't work. He's going to stand in her way, taking hold of one of her arms.]
Your friends'll understand if you can't make it. They're probably just as worried.
But... I...
[ Auuugh, she shouldn't have moved so fast. Sure, it's been days, but the condition in her body was very... bad. She coughs, slumping forward and quickly places a hand to her mouth and pulls it away to reveal red. Bahamut lets out a cry and runs to her side, but she gently nudges him away. Bahamut makes an irritated noise and points to Phantom, but she doesn't see, can't see with her right. Her head presses against Riku's chest as all this arguing is just... tiring her.
But she's stubborn... and stubbornness can only take her so far. ]
Then what? I don't want to... stay cooped up here.
[Riku sighs. He understands. Really, he does. Staying cooped up all day would drive him nuts, but even he knows better than to rush out of town in her condition. Especially if she's coughing out blood.
Frowning, he'll hold her steady. This arguing is pretty tiring.]
I understand, but I swear I'll make it up to you when you're feeling better. Right now's not a good time.
[ She sighs, heavily, takes a long moment to think, then nods against his chest before slumping back down onto the bed. Bahamut runs up to Phantom and growls and yelps for him to turn the Gear off. Finally noticing the commotion, Xion turns to Phantom and Bahamut and... freezes. ]
R-Riku.
... Oh, great.
[Phantom snickers, keeping the focus on Riku and Xion, while making faces at Bahamut. In return, Riku shoots a nasty glare toward the camera.]
Drop it, Phantom.
[Drop it, you say? The Haunter smirks, instead tossing the 'Gear up and down in one hand.]
[ Then Bahamut to the rescue! He manages to swipe it out of Phantom's hand, and the feed ends. ]
[ ooc: Riku is this color. Comments will be tagged with both when able. ALL THE HAWKWARD AND FAILINGS. ]
