Down, but Not Out

[Duo's been quiet for a while. He's been minding his own business and sitting in the clinic. He's been too tired and weak to do much besides healing and eating very small amounts of bland food. At least the clinic is full of nice people who help him. He's also been sticking close to the blinded Hijiri. He's worried about his lover and doing everything he can to watches out for him.

Still, it's time for him to return to their house. He's sick of being in the clinic. His hands are too sore to write.]

[Voice]

Can someone help Hijiri and I get back to our house? I'm sick a bein' here, nice as Kam and everyone is. Just don't like clinics.

Also, I need to talk to the followin' people 'fore somethin' else happens to me. Don't know if ya guys are still 'round.

Allen, Haine, Leto, Sasarai, Uriko, and Val. Also, can you come check on me, Kam? Need ta talk to ya too.

[~~He's a head shorter than Link in-game. I checked.~~]

[Sheik picks up on Duo's flagging energy as well and decides to stop them a moment.]

Duo, are you all right? Do you need to rest a moment? [He'd rather not have to pick him up and carry him if he can help it.]

Think it'll be really hard~ I'm gunna keep denyin' it~

[chuckles] We'll have ta play really pathetic then.

(ooc: Sadly, I don't think that's going to work now... now with the event... hmmm... well, we can still go with needy Duo demanding Ryuhou sleep with them.)

[~~Now I want to play the game, but not just to check, it's just the best game ever.~~]

[Duo shakes his head at the second question.] 's cold out here, just hurry up. [Duo will slip into a hypnotized state where all he's thinking about is putting the next foot in front of the other.]

I'll just have to try... harder and harder till you admit it~

[and can't help teasing him] Play pathetic~? I thought you already are~?

((Such a shame... I guess so. And they could have more fun after the event~))

[squeezes Duo's hand a bit and asks either Sheik or Duo] How much further is it?

Not much farther, Hijiri. [He reaches over and gives his shoulder a light pat.]

[Through the rest of the trip, Sheik keeps a careful eye on Duo and decides that the first place he's going is to bed.]

But I'm not gunna admit it so you'll just have ta keep gettin' harder~ Mean tryin' harder~

Hey! [pout] Am not. Mean devil.

(ooc: Torture now, fun later. It'll work out.)

[Duo's not going to fight. He'll practically collapse through their door. Well, he wouldn't mind a bath, but he'd probably drown himself in there. He's sweaty and panting, but he made it.]

[laughs] Oh, I make you, I mean I'll try very hard~ ♥

You can sometimes~ [ruffles his hair, laughing more]

((sounds good~))

[he nods]

[Hijiri is almost pulled down with him and lets out a startled cry then he holds Duo up]

[Sheik lets out a sigh and gently guides the two of them to their room and Duo straight to bed. He doesn't say anything, just lets them catch their breath.]

[The closet door creeks open a little and a little brown streak hops up onto the bed and onto it's occupants. At least someone seems to have energy to spare. A certain little ferret is "dancing" on the bed now, hopping between them and chittering loudly.] It's about time you kits got back. Do you have any idea how quiet it is here without you two? Where have you been? You were kidnapped, right? Are you okay? You're going to stay right?

[Duo just blinks at her, happy, but too tired to do much with her.]

[Hijiri settles down on the bed with Duo, still holding his hand close then looks over at Dieb's chittering] We're fine, Dieb... just need some rest.

[...Well this is new. Sheik sits on the other side of Duo and watches the excitable creature. He's seen her before, but he'd never been entirely sure if she was Duo's or not.]

They are all right, little one. I doubt either will be leaving any time soon.

Did... did something happen to you? I haven't talked to you I an while... you're in the clinic?

If I recall correctly, you didn't want to be there when you were sick, either.

Determined devil, but you're not gunna win against your shinigami~

[still pouting, like it's doing him any good. Oh well, at least Hijiri can hear it in his voice.] When am I pathetic?

A lot.. happened.

My... my file?

... is something wrong with it?

Oh, yes I will. Just watch me~

I'm not going to tell you~

[Duo slides his free hand out to reach for Sheik.] Tired, Dieb. Keep it down.

But you've been gone so long. I want to play with you. Can't we go steal things? Pretty please? I want to play. And where have you been?

Heh, yeah... kinda got kidnapped and put through hell by the bastards. Pretty usual for 'round here. I got brought to the clinic ta come down and also ta get a little food and water inta me, but I'm sick a bein' here.

Yeah well, never liked clinics or doctors. Thanks for takin' cara me. Sorry if I was a pain.

Err... you gunna get mad if I ask what?

No, yes... I don't know, Kam. [Duo hangs his head before reaching out to Kamui, asking for at least a hand to hold.] I don't like the shit that's in it. I hate knowin' all the shit ya went through. And the Malnosso are tryin' ta do stuff to ya. I don't like it and I thought you should know 'bout it... I'm just worried what it's gunna do to ya.
