Twenty-Sixth Reap → Action

[black_onslaught]

[It's been a few days since Ragna was taken out of the Malnosso facilities thanks to Noel and Bones, and he's been out cold since. Today? He's actually beginning to wake up and be a little more active than he's been in the past few days. After the initial wave of not knowing where the hell he is, he begins to recognize the place he's stuck in as

[Oh no you don't, asshole. >:C Noel's just going to reenter the room after--

...

Well, there goes her train of thought. Uh. Staaaare?]

[Action]

[black_onslaught]

[Ragna's too busy trying to figure out why his right arm won't shove off the bed so that he can sit up to notice that Noel entered the room, let alone that she was staring at him.

Seems like his eye was giving him a little trouble too.] ... The hell?

[Action]

[bullet_dance]

[Is... Is he really awake?

She's so caught up in the moment that she doesn't even notice there's anything wrong with his arm and eye as she inches closer into the room.] Ragna...?

[Action]

[black_onslaught]

[Before answering Noel, he raises his left hand up and makes a tight fist. Then he looks to his right and stares at it, expecting it to do the same with no such luck. Not only that, but he has a bit of a headache on the right side of his head only. Dammit.

He looks over to Noel to answer her, though a little more coldly than intended.] What?

1/...I'll get back to you on this.

[awakenedchaos]

[Walking around the village, yes? That's what someone else is doing today as well - well, specifically, ν-13's just heading for the clothing shop right now. Mostly because she's been putting that off for far too long already, and she really could use another outfit she won't be as recognizable in when walking around in public. Her usual one just stands out a bit too much, and the sundress isn't that practical around this time of the year.

...And besides, she can be on the lookout for Noel like this, too. It's not really a priority, so she's not going out of her way just to do this, but she's still keeping a closer eye on her surroundings than usual. There is a chance that she might stumble across her on her way to the shop and back, right?

Let's see. People she's not that familiar with, one or two stray animals, Ragna walking into a wall...]

2/?

[awakenedchaos]

[...Waaait a minute. Ragna walking into a wall?

...

...

...

WHAT.]

3/?

[awakenedchaos]

[Okay. That... what. Doing a doubletake now. Did she just see that right? He's... back? He's really back?

... ]

4/5

[awakenedchaos]

[He is. He's really back! She's not picking up the presence of his Azure Grimoire and it's kind of weird that he keeps running into walls and trees but that doesn't matter. It's Ragna! He's... he's finally back!

...Okay. Stop for a moment and think, ν-13. What's the logical thing to do when you finally see someone you really missed again, even if a few things seem... off?

The answer to that is really simple, isn't it? There's just one thing to do in this situation. And that would be...]

[maresato]

[There's a little girl with a pink umbrella, taking her puppy for his daily walk. On her route, she comes across Ragna. She holds out her umbrella for him.]

Mister, you'll catch a cold out here without an umbrella!

[black_onslaught]

[He turns to the source of the voice, and just kind of stares with his one opened eye. Why the hell would she offer him an umbrella?]

I'll be fine without one.

[maresato]

[She pushes the umbrella towards you. Doesn't bother her she has a raincoat with a hood on.]

But... you'll catch a cold if you don't stay dry.

[black_onslaught]

[And the rain wasn't bothering Ragna until she came along and tried to force an umbrella on him. ):]

C'mon, I just told you I'd be fine.

[redstringed]

*Hello, Ragna. It's your favorite person ever come to see you. Or maybe she's just waiting outside her communal building underneath her parasol as you walk by, and this is simply a coincidence.

Or is it?

If she's excited to see him, she doesn't show it. Nor does she move from where she stands... because she's still limping slightly, and she'd never show that to Ragna.* I see you have returned to this waking world... or perhaps you haven't.

[black_onslaught]

[He's going to be staring at Rachel with his one eye, and do it in the most insulting way humanly possible. Just because he can, because he's taking that statement like some sort of insult.]

And just what the hell is that supposed to mean?

[redstringed]

*Do you think she isn't used to that glare by now?* From the way you stumble around like a drunkard, you might have been merely sleepwalking.

[black_onslaught]

[He can hope that it has some sort of effect, somehow. Let him have his dreams.]

Maybe you should open your eyes, Rabbit. I'm walking around just fine. [The stumbling was totally just her imagination, because he's having no issues that are Azure-related whatsoever.]

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[And here is a Litchi, on her way to another patient's room as she sees Ragna hobbling his way out of his. She stops, gives him an irritated look for a moment, and shakes her head.

This is inevitable. Any time he's here, he'll just try to escape. Trying to make him stay never works. Maybe she should just ask Noel to let her know if he needs any further help, it might work better that way.

In any case, she sighs.]

Making your escape already, I take it?

[Action]

[black_onslaught]

[This is Ragna, despite his physical impairment at the moment, cursing himself out mentally for never getting out of this clinic without being blocked by Litchi. And trying to hide it.

Why did she have to work here. Why.] I'm not getting predictable, am I?

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[Ragna, you should know by now that you can't go anywhere without the entire cast ambushing you. Accept it.

Litchi folds her arms beneath her chest, frowning at him.] It's a little predictable, I'm afraid.

All I ask this time is that you take it easy. Get plenty of rest. If you need any help with anything, don't be stubborn about asking -- you need a chance to heal completely.

[Action]

[black_onslaught]

[Ragna drops the act to give a uncaring expression as he waves his left hand dismissively. This isn't the first time he's heard something like this.]

I get it, I get it. Don't worry about it.
