Whatever hair-brained idea you're having now, squash it. RIGHT NOW. You're not getting out of bed so forget it.

[Voice]

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Don't... you're sick. I can make it... Haseo's coming too.

[Voice]

[colony_brat]

There's nothing hair-brained about it! *poutning* Can't make me. You didn't want to stay here.

And you're practically bleeding out of your ears by the looks of you. I'm just tired.

[corrinesbell]

Hey. Ryuhou, right? ...You need any help?

[voiced]

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

I... I think I can make it back...

Just want to rest here a minute...

[voiced]

[corrinesbell]

Are you in the forest? There're, uh...monsters out there. You might wanna come back now and rest later.

[voiced]

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

If I can't fight them, I deserve to let them kill me...

[voiced]

[corrinesbell]

What, so the rest of us deserve that too, if we can't fight them? That's a stupid way to think.

You don't deserve to die.

...

No, but I... it's my duty to protect... if I can't, then...

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Ryuhou?! Where are you? Damn it, you're not dyin'!

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Haseo...

Forest... can hear the river. I...

If I don't have my Alter, I... can't live...

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Fine. I'm coming to the forest then.

SHUT THE HELL UP! You don't have your Alter? I don't have my Avatar. I'm alive. I'M SURVIVING! So shut the FUCK UP and let us help!

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

.....

I don't need your help.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

I don't care, I'm helping anyway if you're just giving up like that. I'm going to the forest right now. Deal with it.

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

...fine.

*is pushing himself to his feet and attempting to walk now, holding onto a tree*

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

*hurrying along through the forest, calling for Ryuhou in a frustrated tone*

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

*considers not answering, but finally sighs and calls out somewhat weakly*

...I'm here.

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

*perks up at the quiet voice and looks around, holding his breath a moment before following where he thought he heard it from*

Ah! Ryuhou! *hurries over to him* Jeez... they really messed you up..

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

*looks up at him wearily* I've... had worse.

*his face is pale and clothes are ripped, showing deep, black scars twisting up his arms... the faint scars on his face are now more deeply pronounced, looking like cracks across his fair skin*

[reversedarkness.livejournal.com]

Yeah well...

*holds his breath and steps over* If I help you, think you can walk to make it back home?

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

I'll make it.

*his pride won't allow him to be carried anyway*

I just... need some rest. I'll be all right.
