neverplaysfair | Game 013 [Voice/Action]

Seems like a waste of energy, if you can just get someone else to do it. Doesn't aspirin sound nice?

[ The argument is likely already lost, but Hanekoma's just going to keep at it. And keep walking. ]

Sanae, I'm fine. [ Nevermind that he's shivering. ]

Well, I'm not leavin' you alone, that's for sure. If you don't want the clinic, then we're headed for my place.

[ He can feel the shivering, and Josh is getting a good deal of blood on his shirt -- he can't just drop J at his place and be done with it. ]

[ LIES THERE'S NO BLOOD, HE--oh. Oh. Um. Oops. ]

Mmm, I think I'm fine with that.

Come on, you can have the guest bed again. And I can get you all cleaned up.

Only the guest bed? You're cruel, Sanae.

You'd rather have mine?

There's still a hole in the guest bedroom floor, after all.

Well, sure. Couldn't let you off the hook just 'cause you got kidnapped.

And yet I'm all injured and you'd make me suffer more?

It's not like I'm gonna make you fix it today. Anyway, relax, you can have my bed. I don't mind sleepin' in the studio.

Still you insist. Do you really think I'd try something when I'm like this?

Hey, wouldn't surprise me. [ They're nearly to his place, now, and Hanekoma has to pause and get a better grip on Josh. ] You sure seem to like pretending I'm a pedophile.

I wouldn't even be able to fully enjoy it. Hee hee.

Oh, sure, my mistake. Gotta wait until you've hit puberty. [ Snort, and he walks them up to the cafe. There's a pause while he shifts Josh onto one hand, so he can use the other to get the door open -- and then they're in and he's kicking it closed behind them. At least it's warmer in here. ]

Of course. [ Joshua looks up absent-mindedly at the hole in the ceiling, and after a moment, the warmth hits him and he sneezes. ]

[ Hanekoma heads up the stairs, stumbling just a little. Up the stairs, into the bedroom, and he pauses by the bed. ]

Think I can put you down, now?

If you do, will you get me something to eat? [ He wasn't exactly well-fed... ]

Sure thing. Bouillabaisse? Muffins? Coffee? [ He takes a seat on the edge of the bed, letting Josh down as carefully as he can manage. ] I've got fresh bandages, too. In the bathroom cabinet for if I ever needed 'em. Good to have supplies around.

Bouillabase sounds good. [ He carefully shifts and lays down, doing his best not to cringe at the pain. ]

Alright. Food first, and then I wanna see how bad the damage is. [ Hanekoma stands again, raking a hand through his hair and trying to ignore the feeling of wet blood on the back of his shirt. ]

Yell if you need me. [ And out the door he goes. ]

[ Oh, wow, did not expect there to be that much blood on Sanae's back. ]

[ Well, he's back a few minutes later, with a bottle of water and a bowl of bouillabase -- sits beside Josh on the bed and fakes a grin. ]

Soup's on. Need help sitting up?

Why would I? [ And with enough effort, he sits up... but it takes him a little. He gives Sanae a look, but says nothing. ]

[ Sanae shrugs as response; hey, he's not gonna call Josh out on it. He hands over the bowl and water bottle, and then picks himself up off the bed again and heads for the dresser. A non-bloody shirt would be nice. ]

You wanna talk about it, Josh?
