Record #16 [Voice/Action]

[strike_for_you]

[Lavi had been expecting this day, but really, how well could you prepare yourself for being without any source of light whatsoever?]

So if I walk from here.. the door should be ri-- ow!

[Estimation: WRONG. Please try again.]

Okay, let's try this again. The door, the door, where are you, door.. aha!

[Finally managing to find the door, he opens

[Lenalee stops when she hears a scream, arms stretched out defensively to both sides-- how could you protect yourself from something you couldn't see?-- and stays that way until she hears the voice above her.]

Lavi?

[strike_for_you]

[He blinks and ceases any movement.]

Lenalee?

[Was she below him?]

[bootofinnocence]

Are you all right?

[Her eyes train, uselessly, above her, while her arms drop at her sides.]

[strike_for_you]

I think I'm--

[Lavi makes an attempt to pull himself up, but the floorboards begin to crack and soon give way to his weight.

Hello, Lenalee. Have a Lavi fall on top of you.]

1/2

2/2

[bootofinnocence]

[She didn't have time to move-- and she wasn't sure if she even needed to, with the darkness. He landed on her roughly, and Lenalee crumples beneath his weight, arms covering her face from the debris that comes along with him. Lenalee coughs, having had the wind knocked out of her, and moves her hands down toward whatever part of Lavi was pressing roughly into her stomach, trying to move him.]

[strike_for_you]

Ow, ow, ow, ow, owww..

[It takes his brain a few seconds to process the fact that he had fallen on top of someone, someone he strongly assumed was Lenalee.]

Jeeze, Lenalee-- I'm sorry.

[He was, somehow, laying on top of her on his stomach. An awkward position indeed, but at least no one could see them. He moves his hand to lift himself off of her when he feels her pushing him, but his palm lands on something he's very sure isn't the floor. It's soft and round and.. OOPS.

With lightning-fast movements, he removes himself from Lenalee and holds his hands in front of him.]

Sorry! I really didn't mean to, um, touch you there. Honestly!

[bootofinnocence]

[She sits up soon after, her hand landing on the part of her he'd just touched, her thigh. What did he think he had just...?

Oh.]

It was just my thigh. Are you hurt?

[strike_for_you]

..Oh. Well then..

[He momentarily checks himself over.]

Just some cuts on my arms, but nothing serious.

Are you okay?

[bootofinnocence]

I think so.

[She moves to stand up, tucking one of her hands away inside of her sleeve-- not that he can see the cut on the inside of the palm, but in case he accidentally touched it. He didn't need her blood on him.]

You need to be more careful.

[strike_for_you]

[He slowly stands up, brushing himself off after doing so.]

It's kinda hard when you're completely blind in a house that's falling apart.

[bootofinnocence]

I haven't fallen through any holes yet.

[strike_for_you]

Your room isn't on the second floor.

[bootofinnocence]

I've been on the second and third floors all ready.

It's not an excuse, Lavi. Just be more careful.

[strike_for_you]

But.. I.. have an eyepatch?

[He sighs and puts his hands behind his head.]

Fine, whatever. I'll be more careful.

[bootofinnocence]

[She takes a few steps toward him, her hand landing somewhere on him, tightening into the fabric of his uniform.]

I'm trying to finish up somethings. Would you come with me? I need help finding the doorways.
