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]

[Aggravated sigh.] You're almost as bad as Squall. [Mumbled more to herself then anything.]

Either you let me try and help, or I cast sleep on you and heal those wounds anyway. Pick one.

[perplexme]

[snorts a little and slowly gets to his feet, turning so he's staring at Rinoa's face] I'm fine.

[Well, she's not casting sleep, but she is casting Curaga anyway, cause she's way too stubborn.]

[perplexme]

[moves out of the way and starts walking off]

[lastsorceress.livejournal.com]

[Walks after him.]

You act as if I'm trying to kill you or something. Is it really so bad for you to accept help from a stranger?

[perplexme]

Potentially.

[lastsorceress.livejournal.com]

[Well, fine then, Rin's gonna suck it up a bit and try and get past the stranger part of this equation.]

Okay then, let's start over. I'm Rinoa.

[perplexme]

[has stopped walking and is now leaning against the building]

Roxas.

[lastsorceress.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, Roxas. Now please, will you let me heal your injuries?

[perplexme]

Nice to meet you too, but no. It'll heal on its own.

[lastsorceress.livejournal.com]

Stubborn, aren't you?

[perplexme]

As are you.

[lastsorceress.livejournal.com]

Well, it's no good to give up easily, right?

[perplexme]

Exactly.

[lastsorceress.livejournal.com]

Besides, if I gave up easily, I never would have been able to get through to that anti-social boyfriend of mine.

[perplexme]

"Anti-social boyfriend"?

[lastsorceress.livejournal.com]

Yeah. His name's Squall Leonhart, and he's not exactly the most social guy around, but I love him all the same.

[perplexme]

Kinda weird, isn't it?

[lastsorceress.livejournal.com]

Weird? How so?

[perplexme]

The whole dating anti-social people thing.

[lastsorceress.livejournal.com]

Well, you know, love doesn't exactly pay attention to things like that.

Actually, Squall and I just about hated each other at first.

[perplexme]

Okay, so what happened?

[lastsorceress.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess our dislike for each other was what made us so close in the end.

[perplexme]

...mmh. Okay then.

[lastsorceress.livejournal.com]

What? You've never loved before?

[She might be subtly casting Curaga as she talks, hoping that he's too distracted by the conversation to notice.]
