why should my heart feel lonely?

{ Aeris looks the other way before touching Namine lightly on the shoulder. }

Here, I'll get you healed up. Would you like that?

[Nods weakly.]

T-Thankyou.

[feebly.livejournal.com]

{ She nods before casting Curaga on Namine, a green aura surrounding them for a few moments. Once it disappears, she lets go of Namine's shoulders. }

Can you stand?

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Feels much better. Oh wait, that's bad. Saix wanted her to blame her injuries on Roxas. Oh crap.]

Umm, I think so.

[Shakily stands up.]

[feebly.livejournal.com]

{ Urk. Like Aeris cares what Saix wants. }

{ She hurriedly wraps her arm around and under Namine's arms to act as support. }

Is your room nearby?

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Waits for a moment before she's sure she can support herself. Nods, she had just left her room when she ran into Saix.]

It's, just around the corner. That way.

[Points. Sooo hopes that Kairi isn't there. She would freak if she found out that Namine got hurt again.]

[feebly.livejournal.com]

{ She let's go of Namine once she can- Namine probably needs some personal space at the moment. }

It might be best if you get some rest. I'll keep watch, if you want.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Pauses.]

....You cant tell.

[feebly.livejournal.com]

{ Grimaces, before sighing. }

I understand. But you have to understand, Saix is quite a well known character here...

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

So? That doesn't change the fact that he'll...He'll...

[Swallows.]

...He said that if I told anyone it was him...He'd kill the people close to me...

[Looks up at her. Notice her determined face.]

I wont let that happen.

[feebly.livejournal.com]

{ Sighs, looking back at her room. } Get inside, first. We'll talk how.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[...Nods and walks over to her room.]

[feebly.livejournal.com]

{ Follows, brushing her hand through her hair before rolling her shoulders. She looks around the room and sits on the floor, longsword planted on the floor next to her. }

Tell me, Namine. What exactly did he do?

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Sits down on the floor as well, resting her back against the wall. She glances away.]

...Nothing too bad...I mean, I know someone who's gone through worse when they got attacked by him.

[feebly.livejournal.com]

{ She straightens her dress a bit and sighs, shaking her head. }

Don't compare your injuries to others, Namine. They're still bad if they're bad.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Pauses.]

...He, scratched me, and...He, bit me...And he kicked me. But other than that...

[Other than that she's fine except for the mental torture...]

[feebly.livejournal.com]

{ ...Bite. Aeris frowns, but she won't pursue the subject. }

You talked about wanting to protect yourself and others, right?

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Yup, bite. Can't you see the blood staining her once completely white shirt? Cause he bit her neck. She sighs.]

I guess I didn't do a very good job. Did I?

[feebly.livejournal.com]

You tried. But you'll need more training... { Hrm. } And a new shirt.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Looks down at herself. Yikes. That's a lot of blood...She nods.]

...I should probably get changed.

[Before her cousin comes back and freaks out.]

[feebly.livejournal.com]

{ Chuckles a bit and nods, turning around. }

Have a lot of friends here?

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Oh good, now that she's not looking Namine's free to let that fatigue show. She'll just be using the wall for support as she walks over to the closet.]

A few. Um, there's Kairi and Sora. Kairi's my cousin. There's Riku, though we haven't seen him in a while. There's Isi. A Namine. There's Roxas...And you of course.

[Small smile.]

...I dont want anyone to get hurt.

[Just looking through some clothes now. Oh, a turtleneck, that will hide the bite well. Grabs that one.]

[feebly.livejournal.com]

{ She smiles a bit, then. Urgh. She can hear Namine resting on the wall, you know. }

...Are you sure you're okay? Any wounds I didn't take care of?

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Why so good hearing? Places a hand over the bite. It still wasn't completely healed...]

...No, I'll be fine. Besides, I wouldn't want to cause you anymore trouble.

[Feels like such a nuisance. Also...If she's gonna do what Saix said, she'll need at least one wound. Pulls ruined top off and pulls the new one on, making sure to keep that bite covered. Oh well, at least it wasn't bleeding anymore.]

[feebly.livejournal.com]

{ Her hands tighten a bit- she's rather disappointed at not noticing she wasn't fully healed beforehand. }

Done?

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[It was a bad bite. The fact that Namine was struggling to get away might have made it a little worse too. Don't feel bad. Makes sure that the collar of the shirt is covering the bite.]

Yeah, I'm done.

[Picks up the ruined shirt.]

I guess I should throw this out.

[Sigh.]
