[ What a pity. He leaves, ripped back to his own world, only to get injured and sent back. Dead? No, he's definitely not dead. Merely cradling an arm leaking black wisps that fly into the air like ashes. There are large rips in his coat and blood on his boots, but he's very much alive.

He'd tried to fix the 'inevitable', as this place had suggested, and had mostly succeeded... Mostly. His chest still feels hollow and a great many of their number are still dead, but Saïx imagines it doesn't matter anymore.

There's no surprise in his face at finding himself here again. Just a quiet resignation. ]

Fate is inescapable.

[...there's a potion being held out to you, Saïx, and a puppy whining nearby.]

[well that's very curious. Saïx looks up, then reaches for the potion.]

Are you okay?

[hi it's annoying colourful girl.]

I'm not in danger of death.

[recognizes her, but doesn't say anything about that. he unfolds his arm awkwardly to pop open the bottle.]

That's good.

[not that it really matters here.]

...want me to get that for you?

[silently offers it to her.]

[opens it and holds it out again, frowning.]

[downs it, just as silent. the black wisps come to a stop and he manages to straighten, flexing his arm.]

[tilts her head and smiles very faintly at seeing that before stepping back slowly.]

Do you need another one? I always carry a couple on me now.

Why is that?

[ignoring the question, yes.]

Some crazy Saïx bit me a while back and it scarred because I didn't have any potions at the time.

[shrugs.]

[...looks at her.]

Bit you.

[pulls down her shirt collar to expose the scar.]

Bit me.

I see.

[not really surprised, now that he thinks about it.]

[shrugs.]

So are you new or revisiting? You seem familiar.

I could point out the issue with doubles, but it seems you have remarkable intuition.

Pff. There aren't that many Saixes around anyway.

What a shame.

[nods solemnly.]

It really is.

[raises an eyebrow.]

[innocent smile! she's still got a thing for Saixes despite the whole... biting incident.]

[highly unusual, but he's not that interested in asking questions. in fact, he's going to start walking.]

[...follows, a puppy trotting at her heels.]

Where are you going?

My room.

[not bothered by her following. or the. puppy.]

[puppy is not fond of Saixes, so it might be doing some quiet growling every so often, only to be shushed.]

Oh. Guess I should leave you be, then, huh.

If you deem it appropriate.

[stops to look around, trying to remember the location of his room. ... if he even still has a room.]

I'll just make sure you get there okay.

[c:]

[weird child.]

So the question becomes whether or not my previous room is still available.

[very weird child.]

Maybe you should just grab a new one for now and check later?

A fair point, though I'd have no need to check.

[now where are empty rooms?]

Well, if you had stuff in there you wanted.

[yet another shrug. she could lead him to some if he asked?]

Nothing more than paper.

[and nothing he's particularly forgotten, so.]

Have the room locations changed recently?

Not that I know of.

[helpful.]

Should I ask where the empty ones are?
