Are there any doctors around? Anyone who can help my friend? He's been coughing up blood... it's not as bad as as then, but he still doesn't look good.

He looked like he was about to die. And it didn't seem like anything was helping... I thought he was going to die...

Maybe something with magic will help? He's always been healthy before too... ( Read more... )

Oh! I can use healing artes! I'd be more than happy to help your friend.

[Because he's over there, in bed, but the conversation's loud enough to hear.]

It's...not that complicated. Though I don't think Riou wants to hear it.

[Rita glances between Riou and Estelle, then over to Jowy. At least he doesn't look like he's dying.]

We'll have to hear it if we're going to do anything about it, so start talking.

Yes, if I know the reason, I'll have a much better chance of healing you.

[His smile's tired and he shifts in the bed enough that he can rest his hand above the blanket. The Black Sword rune's pretty clear on his skin.]

This rune and Riou's are two halves of a whole rune. They're...they're destined to be together. They're not meant to be used apart. But they're also destined to oppose each other, be used against each other until...until they can be combined.

Back at home, we fought on different sides of a war and, unlike Riou, I used my rune more than I should have. It's been slowly draining me. Before I arrived here I was... like this. Before. I'd been...stupid, I guess. Using half a rune to try to seal something so much more powerful.

[Rita stands there, arms crossed and one eyebrow raised skeptically. Destiny? Like Rita believes in something like fate.]

So you two are supposed to be friends, but you're fighting each other in a war because of these runes?

We're not fighting now... [ derp smile ]

And maybe it's really because of the runes we ended up on different sides. If I didn't have the Bright Shield rune, the probably wouldn't have made me the leader of the Dunan army...

[Estelle's hands go to her cheeks.]

Oh, that's terrible! It must be so difficult...

[She approaches Jowy, pausing to get a closer look at the mark on his hand.]

If the rune is the cause, I don't know how much help I'll be. I'm sure I can heal the side-effects, but...

It's the rune. [Jowy looks down for a moment before he meets her eyes.] It's all right. I...accepted it a long time ago.

[And hands on her hips, Rita glances skeptically at Riou before she points to Jowy.]

How can you just accept it because of some lame destiny? Did you even try to do anything about it before now?

Exactly!

[ clamps his mouth shut :c But he really did think that before... ]

I mean, I'm sure Jowy tried...

[Estelle kneels next to Jowy's bed, glancing between him and Rita.]

Are you absolutely sure there's nothing you can do?

[Jowy's kind of used to being shouted at by people for his stupid decisions and whatever else by now, so he just drops his eyes to his lap, to the rune on his hand and waits it out. There isn't much point in explaining; Riou isn't listening and it isn't likely that Rita's going to get it.

So he's just going to sit there for a while.]

You don't fight the power of True Runes. That's why they're sealed away in the first place.

So you're just going to give up and die? How pathetic.

[Rita's way too stubborn to drop it like that, though. Especially with Estelle there, who she glances at before she strides over to Jowy and reaches out to grab his hand.]

There might be something-

Maybe if we sealed it again... But that's just running away...

Do you think you can do something about it, Rita?
