Where...? Oh, right. The clinic. ...Damn. Did it hurt this much before? These wings...really sensitive.

...I'm really out of it, huh? But...but thanks. Lloyd, and Kratos...hope you didn't wear yourself out o-on my account. ...A-And Lavi...and Daisya. ...For talking. Think I owe you a lot.

'S easier to breathe, too. D-Did someone...?

[[ooc: We welcome visitors! You'll have to talk your way through (or sneak past) the clinic-people, though.]]

'S not the thing. It's...what the thing means...

*she's drifting off. Daisya's welcome to stay - she'll keep trying to listen as long as he talks, but she can't keep her eyes open*

Well, a lotta people think bells are stupid or frivolous... I had my choice in weapons when my Innocence was tested. This bell came from my parents' shop back home in Bodrum... was just about all I liked 'bout the place 'cept for my family. When I left, I kicked it off the door an' took it with me... ended up deciding to put my Innocence in it and make it my weapon.

*he sees her falling asleep and smiles, then settles down on the floor with his back against the bed*

Didn't like workin' there, really... but somehow this bell always made me smile. Still does, really, 's all I've got. Exorcists don't have time for much else... it's pretty much all I own 'cept some random stuff I've collected. Mostly it just collects dust...

*he pulls the hood around and absently toys with the bell, then hisses when he accidently puts pressure against the wound on his neck*

Ow, shit!

[corrinesbell]

Mmh? *she starts awake* S-something happen?

[sun-blessed.livejournal.com]

Oh! Sorry, didn't mean to wake you!

*he twists around and looks up at her with a boyish grin*

's nothin.

[corrinesbell]

Cursed at nothing?

Heh, well, you're probably not gonna believe it, but...

I sorta, uh, let a vampire drink my blood. My neck hurts.

[corrinesbell]

*this makes absolutely no sense to her at all*

This...uh, is a clinic, y'know.

[sun-blessed.livejournal.com]

I know! 's not somethin' I wanna go around announcing, though, an' people will ask if they see a bite mark on my neck.

*he grumbles something about neck sucking*

[corrinesbell]

Oh.

*yeah, falling asleep again. Don't worry, you're not boring! She's just tired*

[sun-blessed.livejournal.com]

You want me to take off so you can rest? I don't wanna bother you...

[corrinesbell]

...I...I-I don't...
*her tone of voice changes a little, like it's harder to talk*
...S-sounds stupid...b-but I d-don't...wanna be by myself.

*he twists around to look at her again, then moves to his knees and crosses his arms on the bed, resting his chin on them to look at her*

I'll stay as long as you want. Promise.

*he takes her hand again and smiles, but his chin still rests on his other arm, making him look very young*

[corrinesbell]

*already has her eyes shut, but she holds onto his hand*

Th-thanks...

[sun-blessed.livejournal.com]

No problem.

*he shifts to make himself more comfortable and regards her intently*

You need anything? Water, food, whatever?

[corrinesbell]

*makes a sort of 'no' noise. Really, she's mostly asleep*

[sun-blessed.livejournal.com]

Mm.

*he smiles and settles down, gradually drifting into a daze himself*
