69th Draw = Confusion abound [Voice/Action to those who want it.]

Aug 30, 2011 17:24

[Selphie's been safely returned from the draft despite the fact that the fighting and sudden shift back into the village has taken every ounce of energy she had in her system right back out. She remembers arriving near the fountain and sitting down before passing out. She remembers someone picking her up but not the name of who had done it. She' ( Read more... )

Are you sure you just didn't get there on your own?

[asjkdhkajhfs why does she have to thank for it, what did she expect, to be left there the whole night?]

[Action] flamesofanger September 1 2011, 05:38:37 UTC

[It's indeed a better option, though it still irritates Ikki. Why did he come so fast then? She'll get over it, it's her problem if she wants to cry...

He's just going to sit outside the room and wait for her to wake up again.]

[When two people are taking hits intended for you, it tends to throw you right off kilter and since arriving back in the journal and sleeping half a day away, it was legitimately the first chance she'd had to process what had happened.

Ikki, you may have to wait a little bit for her to come out. Which just so happens to be about... six hours later. She comes out of her room and doesn't even notice him as she goes right for some water.]

[Action] flamesofanger September 1 2011, 18:30:40 UTC

[Six hours, twelve, two months, he's not moving until he talks with her. When she comes out he remains there, though, watching her back cautiously to see where she's going and what she's going to do.]

[Here's a good reason why Selphie insisted upon plastic cups for their apartment. In events -- such as this -- where the perky brunette becomes startled -- squeaks like a mouse even -- and drops the cup full of water onto the floor, there aren't any shards of glass to clean up.]

Ikki...

[Action] flamesofanger September 2 2011, 05:27:33 UTC

[Plastic cups are a great idea indeed. Ikki frowns a bit, startled himself by her squeak, he hasn't done anything to scare her...]

Am I that scary?

[Action] boomchucka September 2 2011, 05:29:11 UTC

No... you just surprised me is all.

[Action] flamesofanger September 2 2011, 05:34:23 UTC

I see... I'm sorry.

[Action] boomchucka September 2 2011, 05:36:02 UTC

It's all right.

[She goes to grab a tea towel to clean up the mess.]

[Action] flamesofanger September 2 2011, 05:39:43 UTC

[He watches her clean in silence for a moment.]

I'm sorry.

[It sounds sincere... And quiet, she may miss it in fact.]

[Action] boomchucka September 2 2011, 05:43:39 UTC

[Selphie looks up at Ikki in surprise at the apology but she nods slightly.]

[Action] flamesofanger September 2 2011, 05:53:49 UTC

[Does she know why he's apologizing? He's not sure but he doesn't care either, he doesn't really want to talk about it. He pauses and it seems as if he's mentally counting before he looks at her.]

I'm sorry.

[Action] boomchucka September 2 2011, 06:02:36 UTC

[She does have an idea as she drops the cup and towel in the sink before sitting down next to Ikki.]

I got a little overwhelmed earlier. I'm okay now.

[Action] flamesofanger September 2 2011, 11:50:38 UTC

It was my fault anyway.

[But he really can't just go and accept someone's gratitude. It's just stupid and pointless, he doesn't do things to be thanked.]

Do you remember your mother?

[Probably out of the blue and maybe not the best question but Ikki's no good with those things.]

[Action] boomchucka September 2 2011, 14:21:17 UTC

[Now here's a slightly difficult topic.]

I don't. I wish I did though.

[Action] flamesofanger September 2 2011, 17:37:17 UTC

[Ikki nods, he can understand that. He remembers his mother but... Not completely, all he can come up with in his memories is a fading voice and a face without eyes to make it recognizable.]

My mother died after she gave birth my younger brother. She had been sick for a long time and we didn't live in the best conditions, it was a miracle that my brother was born healthy.

[But that's not really the point for which he has brought this up.]

Her last words were "take care of your sibling", she didn't even know if it was a boy or a girl but she did all she could and gave her life for him. If he was so dear to her even despite her not knowing him at all, I who could know him should do no less for him forever.

When people say "thanks" to me it feels as if they are saying "there's no need for you to do more". But I have no intentions of stopping so I don't want to hear that.

[This is, without doubt, the most Ikki has told anyone about himself since he got to Luceti.]
