[UUGGHHHHHfhhgfffffffffffff]

Day 97

[growsintheshade]

[just making sure to reinforce for you that hope is a terrible emotion to have

I mean... Finally, sometime in the early hours of the 97th day his breathing rhythm changes, sounding less painfully slow and more natural if one is listening. Eventually Kengo shifts on his own, eyes falling open as he slowly looks around. He's still mildly feverish, as he's been the whole time, but nothing as intense as when this all started.]




...dar..c?

[. . .




jolts!

!!

scrambles, wide eyed, crawling from where he was sitting to right himself, moving over to him]

Kengo! You're-- you're awake!

Re: Day 97

[growsintheshade]

[Tries to reply but his voice sorta dies in his throat, barely a dry croak, and he coughs, bringing a hand up to massage his neck and smiles uncertainly at him before trying again...]


T-thirsty. Um, why am I...?

Re: Day 97

[scaledeep]

--! I'll get you some water... You've been sick for days!

Re: Day 97

[growsintheshade]

[days...?

Re: Day 97

[growsintheshade]

[...So yeah, by the time Darc gets back with water Kengo is probably crying]

Re: Day 97

[scaledeep]

[. . .?!?!?1

Re: Day 97

[growsintheshade]

[OH GOD HE'S CRYING

Doesn't notice Darc over there freezing up just yet, just lying there with his hands pressed over his eyes, breathing stuttering rather obviously and painfully.]

Re: Day 97

[scaledeep]

. . .

[steps over to him, canteen clutched in his claw]

What the hell are you crying for? You should be happy you're alive.

Re: Day 97

[growsintheshade]

Darc--!

[DID YOU SAY CRY HARDER?? No probably not, but that's sort of what happens, except now he's looking at Darc and clearly is having too many feelings at the same time.]

Re: Day 97

[scaledeep]

What's wrong with you? Did your sickness mess up your head?...

[but there's helpless relief in his harsh voice, made even more obvious by how exhausted he is. He kneels down by him though, worry in his face, apparently sincerly thinking something in Kengo broke]

Calm down... you'll get better.

Re: Day 97

[growsintheshade]

[Makes a choked noise that might have been a teary laugh, but that hiccups into some more dry coughing so he is gonna push himself up a bit to lean against the wall and stick a hand out for the canteen while he scrubs at his face.]

Re: Day 97

[scaledeep]

[... passes it to him]

Come on, what's wrong with your feelings? Don't tell me human emotions can scramble.

Re: Day 97

[growsintheshade]

[d-drinking the water, sniff khff]

I gh--...I guess they're a little scrambled...

Re: Day 97

[scaledeep]

I've never heard of such a thing. Do you need some kind of special healing?

Re: Day 97

[growsintheshade]

[laughs again, still all wobbly-sounding]


Um, no, it just happens sometimes. It's...

You stayed with me?

Re: Day 97

[scaledeep]

. . .

Re: Day 97

[growsintheshade]

So I was--I'm just kinda glad because of that... But I don't really remember what--what happened either, other than getting mad earlier. And then being.. I guess it's obvious I'm sick... [resting his forehead on his palm...] Ugh, I just remember feeling really awful...

--Sorry, I know I'm really troublesome...

Re: Day 97

[scaledeep]

You really are! Don't ever do this again!

Who shot you? Who was it?

Re: Day 97

[growsintheshade]

[wait]

--I got shot?!

Re: Day 97

[scaledeep]

... You don't know?!

Re: Day 97

[growsintheshade]

[oh no]--I did something horrible enough to be shot at!

Re: Day 97

[scaledeep]

I doubt it! Your instincts sought me out once your mind was lost, and you were only covered in your own blood.
