[Sunrises are beautiful from the top of the Straw Hat's rooftop. Brook makes it a point to see each and every one of them, watching the world around them stir to life as he plays the violin. He's been inseperable from it and his other instruments since everything has gone back to normal. There is so much relief in being able to do this again, and ( Read more... )

[When Chopper woke at dawn and heard the blurred sounds drifting in from the window, his first thought was how careless it had been to fall asleep with it open. His second thought came after the sounds sharpened in his ears.]

[Minutes later he's on the roof, hooves clacking softly against the tile in a way that he knows might cause Brook to notice his presence. Unless he is addressed, however, he will simply take a seat and watch their musician, outlined by the oranges and reds against the sky, in his trade.]

[Forgive him if the words "I'm fine" don't mean much to him anymore, Brook. He's heard it far too many times with far too little validity. He stands up, just barely realizing that he was still sitting, and works through Brook's statements in his mind.] Is there anything I can do? [Could have done?]

[Action] XD skulljokelol September 12 2010, 20:59:23 UTC

Is there anything that you think that you can do? You are the doctor here, so you would know better than I. [ He'll sit still through a whole exam if he has to. 8| ]

For me, it is more or less resolved now, however. When I returned, at first I experienced some very disconcerting dreams [Hence why he wasn't sleeping as much], but those are no longer so frequent. Other than that, it's as if it had never happened.

[Action] tanukipoint September 12 2010, 21:10:27 UTC

I can give you a check-up. If what you're saying is true, there shouldn't be anything out of the ordinary, but it can't hurt. [And he wants to do something for you. Something -]

[The dreams. He remembers fully now the conversation that spurred the promise. He looks away, briefly, disappointed in himself in the process; here's the doctor, the one people turn to for answers, and all he can do is look completely unsure of everything.] I - I don't know very much about dreams, but...I'm sorry.

[Action] /kicks notifs skulljokelol September 13 2010, 09:14:42 UTC

No, I suppose it wouldn't. By all means then. [He sets the violin down for now, but he's still paying close attention to Chopper.

And that. That needs to stop.] You shouldn't apologize for such things, Chopper-san. It hardly had anything to do with you, and if you are saying it for my sake, there is only so much sympathy I can take. [It's riddled all over your body language, Chopper, that and something else. He appreciates that you can give it so freely, but it feels like more than enough.]

[Action] wtf, I am the worst person ever 8( tanukipoint September 21 2010, 05:28:35 UTC

If-! [He bites down on that sentence harshly, unsure what it is exactly that he's trying to offer. Brook's right; he's strong and a Strawhat, and he doesn't need any pity, especially from someone in his own crew. They
all know the modus operandi by now.]

[Chopper just wishes -]

Don't hide stuff like that anymore. [There's something cross in his voice. They all know the modus operandi by now. This includes you.]

[Action] skulljokelol September 23 2010, 04:20:56 UTC

[Chopper will be met with silence on that one, because there's no denying that underlying meaning, much as he stands by his decision.]

[Action] tanukipoint September 23 2010, 04:34:09 UTC

[...]

[One more time, Brook. And mean it.]

Are they really gone?

[Action] skulljokelol September 23 2010, 04:39:45 UTC

Do you really believe that I would lie to you after all of that?

[He lets that hang in the air for a second before actually answering the question.] If it weren't for the dreams, it would almost feel as if it had never happened.

[Action] tanukipoint September 23 2010, 05:07:14 UTC

[...well. He'll do what he can to help, then.]

I can make something to suppress them if they get bad.

[Action] skulljokelol September 23 2010, 05:11:04 UTC

[He bobs his head in appreciation.] They're already less vivid for the most part. It's not so much unpleasant anymore as it is confusing at times.

[And tiring. He fidgets some, hoping this check up won't take long.]

[Action] tanukipoint September 24 2010, 01:32:08 UTC

[It won't; there's only so much he can do without his bag on hand, but Brook was always a special case, after all. After a moment he breaks off and manages a smile when he looks up again.]

I don't see any problems. There aren't any lasting physical effects from what I can tell.

[Action] skulljokelol September 24 2010, 02:53:13 UTC

I thought not! But it is good to have your word on it in any case. [See? It's all good.]

[Action] [1/2] tanukipoint September 24 2010, 03:16:31 UTC

[...close. Not yet.]

[Action] tanukipoint September 24 2010, 03:19:51 UTC

[He looks down at the rooftop, then slowly sticks out one hoof to clench around the fabric of Brook's pant leg. A moment's hesitation; then he pushes forward and hooks both arms around the musician's bony shin. Even when sitting down he's insanely tall.]

[There's no tears, only shaking relief.]

I was worried.

[Action] Damn you and your wibble icons, Angel 8| skulljokelol September 24 2010, 03:29:09 UTC

[O-ow, there's his heart. Why do you think he hadn't brought it up before, Chopper? Luceti makes them worry enough about one another as it is, and it's not a situation he wanted to put his nakama into.

He reaches down a hand to pat Chopper's back.]

...I know. I apologize for that - I hadn't meant to.
