Day 92, Evening

[growsintheshade]

[Apparently he managed to get himself shot. And subsequently chewed on by red lizagons... Technically he didn't fair too badly considering he was by himself and wounded......

Kinda unconscious and feverish now tho, despite being partially healed.]

[shot...! there's nothing outside that does this. Someone in here is going to die.

He's almost out of magic, and he's not sure what he'll do once it's gone. But he can't--]

Damn it... who the hell did this to you? In this place! I won't forgive them!

Don't you dare die!

[casts again]

Re: Day 92, Evening

[growsintheshade]

[At least he's healed up! Still feverish and kind of pale. Stirs enough to curl up slightly, instinctively shielding where he was hurt before]

[scaledeep]

[from here btw]

[relaxes significantly when the spell takes again]

You're alright... don't fucking scare me like that.

Looks like you're sick...

Re: Day 92, Evening

[growsintheshade]

[His eyes open briefly, bleary and uncomprehending but seeming to register Darc's voice as much as he's able to while sinking in and out of consciousness]

Re: Day 92, Evening

[scaledeep]

[fff grips him and shakes him a little]

Don't die. Damn it, I don't know who else you know...

[... ....... so you are stuck with me

gathering him up princess-style now that he isn't physically wounded at least, so he can get him back to his apartment. He's been sick before, and he knows to at least keep him fed and give him water, but in the end it's up to Kengo to survive...]

Re: Day 92, Evening

[growsintheshade]

[Without the shadows that were keeping him cool, it's easy to tell he's running a temperature. He stays tense and shivery, mumbling when he's shaken and limbs reaching directionlessly when he's picked up and whenever Darc has to shift his hold on him, trying to balance himself.

He basically curls up again whenever Darc gets them to his apartment and sets Kengo down. Between the quiet whimpers for "Sis" and mild hallucinations while conscious, he alternates between seeking out Darc's presence and shrinking away whenever he becomes aware of him being in the room. It doesn't seem like there's much to do other than try to get him comfortable and let the fever run its course.]

Day 116

[growsintheshade]

((from here))

[RAN OFF BRIEFLY TO GRAB A CHANGE OF CLOTHES after they arrive, since he had been jogging. There are some towels left over in the bath house from the night before, what with everyone sharing food, so he grabs one of those as well before getting undressed, making sure to roll everything up to store somewhere dry.]

Re: Day 116

[scaledeep]

[... I already don't understand why you changed clothes just to take them off??]

What are you doing now?

Re: Day 116

[growsintheshade]

[No no, just brought those along. They are sitting in a pile out of splash distance from the hot spring/tubs (we really need cubbies in here). Did go to splash himself and start soaping up though?]

Getting ready to get in the hot baths?

Re: Day 116

[scaledeep]

[oh well ok that is. still odd but fine. humans and their plethora of clothes.

Darc is still eying Kengo with suspicion, but he pulls the straps of his armor, putting it to the side, the wrist piece - then pulls the sash of his skirt and lets it unravel and slide off.

YOU MAY LEARN A FEW THINGS ABOUT DARC NOW:
- he doesn't wear anything under that skirt
- he is half dragon, if you know what I mean
- hard to tell at this angle but is it scaled--???
- he takes off his skirt and THEN his sandals]

Re: Day 116

[growsintheshade]

[YEAH UM DOESN'T NOTICE DARC GIVING HIM WEIRD LOOKS HE GOT DISTRACTED AGAIN]

Re: Day 116

[growsintheshade]

[wait.. WAIT. SLOW DAWNING REALIZATION.]

Re: Day 116

[growsintheshade]

[slowly pulls the towel over his head...]

Re: Day 116

[scaledeep]

[sandals off. ok now he is naked.

and still really fucking unsure about this]

What now?

Re: Day 116

[growsintheshade]

--Huh?

Oh, um. You're supposed to rinse off first before you get in, so...!

Re: Day 116

[growsintheshade]

...well, now that I realized what was actually going through my head I guess I should say something like "let me help" but somehow the atmosphere doesn't feel right...

[Thusia] at some point

[growsintheshade]

[I'm confused how our conversation veered off this way]

Darc??

Re: [Thusia] at some point

[scaledeep]

What isn't clear? I ordered you to stay at my side for the rest of your life!

Re: [Thusia] at some point

[growsintheshade]

I.. I could? I mean I'd like to??

But is it just because you're, er.. mad about Rider-san...?

Re: [Thusia] at some point

[scaledeep]

Kh... Of course I'm angry about Iskander... but he'll wake up! A man like that can't just sleep forever. Why would I say this just because of him?

[rounds on him!!]

You... if you were to leave me... I don't know if I could bear the pain! You've made yourself my friend, and someone I... depend on...! When I'd sworn I would never do something like that again!

If we're going to continue any further... any further at all! I need a promise!

Re: [Thusia] at some point

[growsintheshade]

If it's about being your friend I promise it's really hard to get rid of me!

Re: [Thusia] at some point

[growsintheshade]

If.. If you mean more than that there's.. um, something I need to do first...

Re: [Thusia] at some point

[scaledeep]

. . . I need you with me, until you die. This isn't just about friendship.

Re: [Thusia] at some point

[growsintheshade]

[oh my god] Jeez.. Do deimos get married?

Um, c'mon, I think the portal to the rainforest is open right now. I need to make sure it works... [DO YOU HAVE A SWORD ON YOU? DO WE NEED TO STOP FOR A WEAPON?]
