Kind of a re-intro?

Sep 02, 2009 00:06

[ In the library, sits a man in his early thirties, in a rumpled suit. He doesn't look like he's gotten much sleep lately. He's surrounded by small piles of books, and has another open in front of him. But he's not really reading, more staring in front of him with a distant expression. Angsting. Possibly even brooding ( Read more... )

*The heartless princess, bandages around her feet where they were still bruised from having been stuffed in shoes that had grown too small for her, had been on her way up to see the vampire Ahiru when she passes by the library where she'd met the Fakir that knew the duchess named Tutu. When she passes by, however, she sees a bit of dark green hair: a Fakir? She backtracks, stepping backwards to look inside; the Fakir was older than most of the others... After a moment she remembers that she'd met him: that was the one she'd bumped into and called her "Duck", right? Ahiru moves into the room as if about to skip over to him, being careful to pick up the skirt of her dress so she doesn't trip.* Other-Fakir?

[ Kenzo starts at first, but relaxes when he realizes who is speaking. The Du-, no she preferred Ahiru, right, the one who seemed like maybe she had never recovered from shock. He doesn't mind being called "Other-Fakir," if it's by her. ]

Ahiru. [ He doesn't manage a smile, but his tone is calm and a little warm. ]

*Ahiru stops in front of the other Fakir in a semi-abrupt manner that makes her upper body rock forward and then back straight again like some kind of a see-saw. Her eyes then move over the books on the floor around him with Curiosity, up at him.* What are you reading, Other-Fakir?

[ For a moment he tenses, afraid that she'll fall over. But it appears she has a little more control than to allow that.

He looks down at the book. ] I think it's a ghost story. [ And closes it. ]

*Ahiru tilts her head to the left, blinking slowly at him.* Do you like stories about ghosts, Other-Fakir?

Not really. [ He pushes the book to the side, next to some others. ]

*Ahiru looks at him for a moment with vague Curiosity, before coming over to sit on the floor next to him. Because she does so, her skirt hikes up enough for her bandaged feet to be visible. The princess looks absently up toward the ceiling as she asks,* ...Has anyone from your world come yet, Other-Fakir?

No, they- [ He turns from the books to face her, and his face quickly changes from distracted to intently serious. ] What happened to your feet?

BLECK, I'm so sorry, school project kept me out all day. >> schwanherz September 5 2009, 04:32:36 UTC
*Ahiru blinks, a bit surprised by his reaction, before she glances down at her bandaged feet and figures out what he means.* Oh...I grew bigger for a while, and when I saw Rue, she took my shoes off...they'd become too small, as I was bigger...and my feet were this purpley-blue color, so Rue bandaged them and told me not to put too much pressure on them. *She looks back up at the other Fakir, tilting her head to the left with vague Curiosity.* I guess it's supposed to hurt, when your skin changes color like that?

I understand! herr_dr_fakir September 5 2009, 04:54:14 UTC
[ This has clearly upset the doctor. ] It's not supposed to happen at all! [ And very firmly. ] You shouldn't be walking around like this.

*Ahiru is taken aback by the other Fakir's firmness, blinking with vague surprise.* ...I shouldn't?

No. You should be resting, with a doctor making sure your feet recover properly.

Oh... *Ahiru glances down at her feet, considering this.* ...I don't know any doctors...but you're supposed to see a doctor when you're sick or in pain, right? I can't feel pain, but...

You do. I'm a doctor. [ He's trying to be comforting. But it turns rather more concerned. ] You...can't feel pain?

*Ahiru blinks at him.* Really, Other-Fakir? *None of the other other-Fakirs were doctors...*

*The heartless girl gives a nod.* Mm-hm...because I don't have my heart.
