[Action, January 3rd

Comments

[ACTION, June...End-of-draft day]

[offallingsnow]

[Though there isn't much action at all here. Nephry is just waiting to see if...well. If Tear makes it back at least somewhat safely.]

[ACTION]

[seleniahymn]

[Tear will be home several hours after the villagers will have been dropped off, needing to take care of her own injuries and deal with certain stubborn souls. While she wants to just lie down and sleep, it'd be best to let Nephry know she was all right and tell her about what happened to Ion.]

[ACTION]

[offallingsnow]

[That makes it...what, four or five in the morning? Nephry isn't really awake, but the door is locked. She'll hear the presumed knocking to follow, and come to open it]

Tear.

[ACTION]

[seleniahymn]

[Just about, which means that dawn will be soon to allow Tear to know how guilty she should feel for worrying Nephry.]

M-... is the Fon Master back yet? [First thing's first, Ion took highest priority.]

[ACTION]

[offallingsnow]

Yes. He has been asleep for hours now.

[Like you should have been. Damn any need for self-sufficiency right now, Tear, Nephry is taking your arm and leading you inside.]

[ACTION]

[seleniahymn]

[Well that's a surprise, Tear didn't expect her to do that.] Sleeping? But he shouldn't be allowed to sleep for so long, his head injuries!

[ACTION]

[offallingsnow]

He told me his injuries had been seen to. Was he wrong?

[Not that she would accuse him of lying. More like misremembering.]

[ACTION]

[seleniahymn]

Yes, they have been seen to, but... [She wasn't there with him on the last day, and with all the confusion going about who knew what could have happened. And she was no doctor, she didn't know what to do for sure.]

He took a fall from a trap set by the Third Party in a tree, and it knocked him unconscious.

[ACTION]

[offallingsnow]

He told me that as well. Am I to believe that you, and Jade, and whatever other doctors may have been there with you, are not sufficient help for him for the time being?

[Sorry she's being sort of firm with you Tear. It's late/early and she wants you to be asleep too. Not worrying like this.]

[ACTION]

[seleniahymn]

.... [Tear falls silent, mentally chastising herself for allowing her fear to get carried away. Not that it wasn't uncalled for, the whole situation had been a disaster waiting to happen, and that is what it did become.]

... I'm sorry...

[ACTION]

[offallingsnow]

...So am I. You've been through quite a lot and you're exhausted. The last thing you need is to be...spoken to like that.

Is there anything you need right now?

[ACTION]

[seleniahymn]

It's all right, really. [She was too tired to think clearly, and it clearly showed on her person.]

Could I have something to drink, please?

[ACTION]

[offallingsnow]

Of course. Would you like something warm or cold?

[ACTION]

[seleniahymn]

Cold, preferably. [And removing her arms from Nephry's grasp now, electing to sit down on the closest available seat.]

[ACTION]

[offallingsnow]

[Yes, sit. Excellent idea. Nephry meanwhile will get her a glass of ice water from the kitchen, and come to sit beside her as she hands it over]

[ACTION]

[seleniahymn]

Thank you. [Tear takes the glass and begins to drink it down gratefully, having been unaware of how parched her throat had felt during all of this.]

How have you been doing, here...? [Had she been alone the whole time?]
