Dayshift 22: Chapel

Feb 18, 2007 01:58

Claire woke up in her room just like before, with little idea of how she actually got there. This time, though, she noticed something different about the room. There was another young woman, a blond, sleeping in a bed across from her. Before questioning that, though, she made sure to hide the items she'd gotten that night in her closet, shutting ( Read more... )

It was always very troubling for Fox when he couldn't remember something, such as how he got from one place to another. That lack of memory was particularly disturbing because it meant one of two things ( ... )

"That's part of what we talked about," Renji said. "To confirm... he is very much alive. His spirit is strong." He smiled. "Similar to yours. Even if he seemed to be dead, his chain of fate is still whole."

He let go of Nowe, resting his arm on the back of the pew now. "Don't worry about it, Nowe," he said. "If you need rest, it's okay. I don't mind. I hope your head is feeling better, now." He cleared his throat, wishing that nagging irritation in it would go away.

Nowe nodded. "Nice to meet you, Mr... erm, what do you like to be called? Mr. Kenobi?" he tilted his head, only further embarrassed by the fact that he didn't know what to call this new man, and also that he realized Renji had looped an arm around him while he was asleep. He sank down a few inches in the pew. His morning wasn't going very well already.

"My head's alright. Still a little sore. I can't move very fast either, or the room spins."

At the thought of what had happened the previous night, Nowe's expression softened, some of the red fading from his cheeks. He stared hard at his lap.

"...thank you, Renji. For last night," he said softly, and in a much smaller voice, he added, "you could have died."

Obi-Wan blinked a little at Renji's words. He thought he understood what he meant when he talked about "spirit," but...

"Chain of fate?" the Jedi echoed. "I'm not entirely sure if I know what that is."

He turned to Nowe; it seemed he was growing more flustered by the moment. Obi-Wan gave him a faint smile that was meant to be reassuring. "Obi-Wan is fine," he told him. "I heard you had a rough night. You're fortunate to be alive."

Renji's eyes narrowed slightly at Nowe's comment. "No thanks necessary," he said. As hoarse as he was, it made his tone even more gruff. "I'm sorry if I scared you, but it wasn't that bad. I'm very hard to kill."

...not that he knew that for certain. But might as well say it anyway. He didn't want Nowe worrying about him like that.

He turned his attention back to Obi-Wan. "The chain of fate is the link between your body and your spirit... your soul. When I talked to Jinn-san about it, he said spirit is like the Force. Maybe that helps." He shrugged. "When the chain is severed, the spirit is freed, and... moves on."

not_a_savior February 20 2007, 03:24:15 UTC

Nowe nodded in response to Obi-Wan's comment. "Ah. Obi-Wan it is, then. And yes, I am very fortunate, but it's thanks to Renji here, really." He smiled himself. Obi-Wan seemed to be pretty friendly, at least, and if Renji trusted him, Nowe knew he could too. He turned back to Renji.

"It's alright. I'm just glad to see you survived the night. You sound awful, though." A small frown creased his face. If he hadn't been stupid enough to get himself smashed into a wall like that...

He sat back, content to let Renji and Obi-Wan keep talking with one another, not wanting to interrupt.

Obi-Wan nodded a little as Renji spoke. "So you're saying Qui-Gon's...'chain' is still intact?" He paused, turning the words over in his mind. Yes, he supposed it would make sense to equate "spirit" with the Force. Many cultures did.

"How do you know his chain isn't broken?" Obi-Wan asked, though it was more out of curiosity than any sort of skepticism.

Obi-Wan turned to Nowe. "So far Renji is the only person I've met who's capable of healing severe wounds," he said. He glanced over at the red-haired man. "Though I get the feeling it wasn't exactly the easiest thing for him to do."

stray_shinigami February 20 2007, 06:33:57 UTC

"Yeah," Renji said to Obi-Wan. "He feels alive." He shrugged. "If he were dead - which he's not, but anyway - I'd be able to see the broken chain." He shrugged. As strong as these guys were, he was surprised they weren't used to seeing ghosts and the like. But maybe it worked different where they were from. Or they were avoiding the ghosts. "Kind of surprised you guys can't..."

Renji had been really, realy, really hoping that Obi-Wan was going to not bring that back up now that Nowe was awake. He'd just wanted the kid to be able to drop it. So much for that. His lips compressed in a thin line of annoyance ( ... )

not_a_savior February 20 2007, 09:10:50 UTC

Nowe wasn't stupid, however, and could see how annoyed Renji was with the topic. He said nothing in response to Obi-Wan's comment about the redhead's abilities and just nodded silently, not wanting to irritate the man anymore. He felt like he owed Renji a lot, the least he could do was not piss him off any more than he already was.

He looked back at Obi-Wan again, curiously, when Renji asked about the 'force'. What was that? He hadn't heard of anything like it before. Was it kind of like a pact? He didn't butt in, not wanting to come off as rude, instead just returning to listening quietly to what they had to say.

braidless February 20 2007, 14:40:56 UTC

"I can usually sense other beings' Force signatures," Obi-Wan explained. "But I'd equate that more with 'spirit' than any sort of chain. It's not as easy for me to do ever since I arrived here, though. I have to think on it more, so it becomes a little tiring if I'm constantly reaching out for everyone around me." The only person he could sense with relative ease was Qui-Gon, but so far he'd only managed it if he knew without a doubt the man was nearby. Otherwise he was fairly certain he would have figured out Qui-Gon was here far sooner than he had.

He stopped speaking when he realized Renji was upset about his comment earlier, and he wisely decided to back off from the subject. Obi-Wan didn't quite understand why the red-haired man was so rankled - he had healed Nowe, and it had depleted him, no matter how much he tried to brush off both facts ( ... )
