helpless and left for dead

[feathers everywhere and...there's a boy wearing white clothes, looking eight years in age lying on the floor.

...he's still dead though. that heart in his chest isn't beating.]

*he's just gonna tuck that blanket around Roxas, as if he's asleep, because surely, you'll be waking up in a little bit or he's going to gut an angel*

There. He... he looks much more comfortable now, right, sweetheart?

[minimemory.livejournal.com]

...Yeah.

[swallows.]

[mini-key.livejournal.com]

[as comfortable as someone not breathing and pale could be.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he has to drag his eyes away from Roxas and tries to give Namine a smile*

Alright... so I should give you another lesson. I saw what you were doing before, to keep the Heartless away.

[minimemory.livejournal.com]

...It didn't really do much, though.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

You just haven't practiced enough. After you have control, you need to have strength. Power.

[minimemory.livejournal.com]

An' they'll work better then?

wrong icon x.x

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they should. But Heartless can be really annoying. Here, try this...

*he holds out a hand, calling some Dark Fire into his palm, the flame flickering*

I saw nothing /o/

[watches, then tries to copy him; hers is a lot smaller, practically just sparks; she really isn't too powerful yet when there's no pressing reason for her to need her powers]

of course~

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he chuckles when he sees the sparks*

You need better control, sweetheart. Keep trying to make a little flame like this. It doesn't have to be strong, but practice just calling it and holding it.

actually didn't |Db I was showering and notifications are so sloooow today

[minimemory.livejournal.com]

[determined look on her face.]

'Kay.

[scowls at the sparks and concentrates- the sparks slowly grow into a small flame. it's still sparking a little, and it's pretty tiny, but it's there.]

i just took nyquil! but yes LJ sucks balls

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*is quite proud of you*

Good! Now hold it as long as you can, then let it go. Then start all over again. The more you practice, the easier it'll get.

still sick? D: and yes it does

[minimemory.livejournal.com]

'm I doing okay?

[...that one disappears within a minute or so, but she summons another.]

yeah it's hanging on x.x

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

You are. *hair ruffle* It takes awhile to get the hang of it, but you're doing fine so far.

/pets D:

[minimemory.livejournal.com]

[smiles up at him]

nyquil says it's sleepytime

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he likes your smile and kneels down, holding out his hand to show you*

Here, put your hand in mine. I'll summon a flame and see if you can feel what I do. Then you can try copying it.

niiiight o/

[minimemory.livejournal.com]

Mmkay.

[does what he asked; she's kind of enthusiastic about learning to do this]

*shakes off the nyquil haze*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*once your hand is in his, he slowly calls another flame of Dark Fire, trying to do it step by step so you can feel it*

Did you catch that, or do you want me to do it again?

[minimemory.livejournal.com]

...Think I got it.

[or maybe she doesn't, really, because when she pulls her hand away to try, it fizzles out after a few seconds.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he's quite patient and doesn't mind, just cups his hand around yours to feel what you're doing*

... hmmm. Try not to 'pull' too hard for the fire. Just do it steadily instead of... yanking.

[minimemory.livejournal.com]

[just nods stubbornly and tries again, following his advice. she's determined to get this right now- and it seems like it might actually be working.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he watches you carefully as you practice, ready to give more help if needed*

You're doing fine, sweetheart.

[minimemory.livejournal.com]

Really?

[every time she reaches her limit, she summons a new tongue of flame- it's probably starting to tire her out a little, though.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he nods and puts his hand over yours, because he can tell you're wearing down*

Really! I want you to practice this everyday, okay? But once you start feeling tired, you have to stop. And if you have questions, you can always ask me.

[minimemory.livejournal.com]

Got it!

[lets it disappear again.]
