Twenty-Second Keychain-[Action]

[perplexme]

[After about 11 days, the Malnosso finally decided to return Roxas back to the village. He's walking pretty slowly with an almost-limp, the usual cuts and bruises from kidnapping on him and few feathers missing from his wings, but the most noticeable mark is the bleeding gash on the left side of his chest soaking through his shirt. He gets about as far as outside building two before he has to stop moving and hits the ground]

[looks up at Naminé and grins slightly] Hey.

[iterance.livejournal.com]

Does it hurt too badly?

[perplexme]

[shrugs a bit] Not particularly. [which is to say, yes, but he won't say so]

[iterance.livejournal.com]

Do you think you'll need to visit the clinic?

[perplexme]

I don't want to if I don't have to.

[iterance.livejournal.com]

It's up to you, but it might get worse before it gets any better.

[perplexme]

I'll live with it. It's my problem anyway.

[iterance.livejournal.com]

. . . All right.

[perplexme]

Don't believe me?

[iterance.livejournal.com]

I believe you'll be fine. And Axel will be there for you.

[perplexme]

You've got a point...thanks, Naminé.

[iterance.livejournal.com]

Sure. Rest well, Roxas.

[perplexme]

Leaving already?

[iterance.livejournal.com]

No, not with you like this. Are you going to wait for Axel to come?

[perplexme]

I might just go find him myself in a bit.

[iterance.livejournal.com]

He's been waiting. I'm sure he'll come by soon.

[perplexme]

He's been waiting?

[iterance.livejournal.com]

Mm. He has been ever since you disappeared.

[perplexme]

...mmh. I see. I guess...that makes sense, doesn't it?

[iterance.livejournal.com]

He cares about you. That's why he'll come before long.

[perplexme]

I know. I just...I don't know.

[iterance.livejournal.com]

It'll come to you. You just need to relax for now.

[perplexme]

I can't relax. I have to figure out a way to stop them.

[iterance.livejournal.com]

Stop "them?"

[perplexme]

You know, the Malnosso.
