122. Circumstances

[corrinesbell]

[To think it was just a regular day.

Sheena stumbles her way around from the back of house 18. One arm is braced against the outside wall of the house, the other useless. It's a slow, staggering kind of walk. When she runs out of house, she manages to move just a few more feet, into the road, before crashing to the ground again. Mercifully, her journal comes loose from where she had carried it at her waist, and ends up open, pages face down.

It's just out of her reach; her fingertips brush against it but she can't turn it over. Maybe having it open is enough]

I-I...need help. ...Please.

[[ooc: Follows almost immediately after this log, meaning it's Thursday up in here. The log is unfinished so far but we wanted to avoid some insane backdating/the chance that LJ murders itself again. So!]]

'S what I'm...worried about.

[There will be no further spoken responses at this time. Please leave a message and she'll get back to you as soon as the side-effects of that healing wear off.]

[Well, he'll just uh... take a seat.

And twiddle his thumbs or something.]

[corrinesbell]

[She doesn't sleep very deeply. If not for the fact that she can't move much, she'd probably be tossing and turning]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

[Well, all this getting excited has worn Zelos down a little bit.

Closing his eyes for a catnap won't hurt, right?]

[corrinesbell]

[he won't get in trouble for it. Sheena will wake up again in just under an hour; it's kind of comforting to see him sitting there, mouth open and probably drooling, asleep]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

[Of course he's drooling. He won't admit to it when he wakes up, though. ...Which will be a little while after she wakes up. Tearing across the village frantically is tiring, who knew?]

[corrinesbell]

[sitting - well, lying - with her eyes half-open, just watching him.]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

[After a few minutes, Zelos jerks himself awake. He looks really confused for a second before shaking his head and rubbing at his eyes.]

Didn't know I fell asleep. Sorry.

[corrinesbell]

I didn't mind.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

If you say so.

Probably not feeling any better, huh?

[corrinesbell]

I don't really feel anything right now.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Well, guess that's better than horrible agony.

[corrinesbell]

It hasn't been...'horrible' since I woke up here before. ...Think they might've given me something.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Could be. I'd hope so anyways.

[corrinesbell]

[you know she hates to be drugged. Even when it's saving her from serious pain.]

...Zelos, I let him sneak up on me. I should've known.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't start with me on that. If you start with the should'ves, I'll find more of whatever they gave you and give you more.

[corrinesbell]

He got to cast a spell before I noticed!

[you would totally be kicking yourself too]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Sheena.

[You're getting a stern face, dear.]

[corrinesbell]

I don't even know why he wanted a fight.

[at least, not entirely. Stop giving her that stern face.]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

It's Mithos. Kid's nuttier than a bag of peanuts.

[No. 8|]

[corrinesbell]

He said...I deserved it.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

He'd think that. Like I said, he's nuts.

[corrinesbell]

[he's still making that face, isn't he?]

...What if he's right?

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

He isn't. Not then. Not now. Not ever. You hear me?

[corrinesbell]

[she looks over at him again, at the face he's making and the tone in his voice.

Raine would say she was being ridiculous.

Sometimes she can't help it. For now her head falls back down onto that pillow and she shuts her eyes. Not asleep, just dealing with a dizzy spell]
