[Isi is walking down the hall, heading in the direction of his room. he's not looking away from the bundle in his arms; it's bloody, and looks to be a t-shirt. what it's wrapped around is made pretty obvious by the limp, blood-stained lizard tail hanging out from the cloth. he's planning on burying the iguana in the room he'd built its house in.]

[shakes his head silently. he's already said what he wanted to.]

*he makes sure the grave is deep enough then stands up, putting a hand on your shoulder in support*

Alright. Say... say goodbye now, Isi.

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

I don't want to.

[trying very hard not to cry again, but Shredder's been the only constant since he arrived here.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he puts his arm around you, letting you lean against him*

... I know. It's... only for a little while. You'll see. Shredder will be back.

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

H-He shouldn't even be gone in the first place.

[but it's his fault for being such an idiot.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he says this very gently*

... Shredder... he died trying to protect you. Don't make less of his sacrifice. He really cared about you.

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

He died because I was stupid!

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Does that mean he tried to protect you any less? Now you know better, and you can make it up to Shredder when he gets back.

*gives you a squeeze, trying to do the comforting thing*

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

What if he doesn't come back?

[leans into him.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

Of course he will. Afterall, there's people from the future, I think, who remember Shredder. Except he was bigger.

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

...you're right. I talked to one.

[s-sighs.]

Still. He's been with me since I got here...

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

I know, Isi. But he's still with you. Right here.

*he taps the center of your chest where your Heart is, it's very cheesy but it seems right to say*

And he'll be back soon.

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

[smiles weakly, still looking ready to cry.]

Thanks, Ri.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Mmmm... now, are you ready to let Shredder rest? It'll be just for a little while.

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

I... I guess so.

[looks down at the bundle sadly.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he gives your shoulder one last squeeze, then lets you go to... do what you need to do*

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

[quietly tucks the bundle into the hole, making sure the tail is curled in properly, then starts covering it slowly.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he waits quietly, and will let you do this part by yourself because it's important*

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

[once all the dirt is piled back on, he just sits back and... stares at it.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he'll crouch beside you then*

... Isi...

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

I dunno what to do now.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Well... if you want... you can stay with me and Sora. 'bug will enjoy having a 'cousin' around to play with.

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

...if... are you sure that'd be okay?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Of course, Isi. You're always welcome. In fact, I insist.

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

...okay.
