7th Combo - [Video]

[redcladidealist]

[He hasn't seen Dino in a while, so when Lloyd passes by the onsen during one of his many searches for the Otherworldly Gate, he decides to drop in and say hi to his friend. Of course, there's a chance that Dino might not be in, but there's no harm in checking since Lloyd happens to be here, right?

[What does that comment even mean? Lloyd shakes his head - it's not important. By the time Kurogane is at the door, though, Lloyd has lifted Dino onto his bed.

The teen glances over, and there's evident relief on his face, mixed in with the still very strong worry.]

H-hey, you're not a doctor, are you?

[Action]

[redcladidealist]

Oh. Oh! [Lloyd had visited a few times, but he'd never been introduced to the owner. He feels a flicker of sheepishness before the worry eclipses it.

He shakes his head.]

I found him on the floor like this. Nothing I've tried is working. It's like he's... he's... I don't know! But something's wrong with him!

[Action]

[redcladidealist]

Sleep... coma? How long does it last? [Anything with the word "coma" sounded serious, but this guy didn't seem concerned. Was it... not that big a deal?]

Yeah. I'm Lloyd. Lloyd Irving. [His gives Kurogane a questioning look.] Um, who're you again?

[Action]

[redcladidealist]

[That answer doesn't sit well with Lloyd. He doesn't like not knowing how long Dino will be out. What happens if it's... too long?

He's already resolving in his mind to stay by Dino's side to make sure that he's all right.]

[Kurogane gets a curious look.] You're waiting for him for something?

[Action] I blame the recent DDoS screwing everything up. B|

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd huffs defensively for his friend's sake.] Dino's not an idiot, and this isn't his fault. [At least, he doesn't think it is.]

But if you don't want to take care of him, you don't have to. I'll stay with him myself.

[Action]

[redcladidealist]

[So if he didn't think this was Dino's fault and he wasn't irritated at having to take care of him, then why was he annoyed at having to "wait"? Lloyd frowns, but no matter how he looks at the question, he can't figure it out.

It doesn't occur to him that maybe Dino's help is needed in running the onsen.

Finally, he gives up. It probably doesn't matter.]

All right. Thanks. I'll make sure he's all right.

Re: [Action]

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd nods. He appreciates the offer, but his mind is still focused on his friend.]

I hope you're right.

Do you want me to let you know if anything changes?

[Action]

[redcladidealist]

[Feeling somewhat reasurred, he nods again.]

Okay. I'll do that.

Thanks.

[And now it's time to focus on getting Dino as comfortable as he can. It could be a very long wait.]
