[Rather unfortunate how these accidents keep happening, isn't it? And this particular one is a pretty messy one. The person slumped on the floor in the hall is probably a Riku upon closer inspection, but all the blood matting down his hair makes it a bit hard to tell at a distance. Looks like he took quite a beating, but most of the blood is coming from his head. This may explain why he's been missing for a few days.]

[WHAT IS THIS SHIT BRB JOLTING OVER THERE. She falls to her knees beside him, carefully pulling his head up into her lap and trying to stop the blood flow.]

Riku? Can you hear me?

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[His head is swimming and he's barely conscious, and her voice just seems to echo like it's far away.]

N-Namine...?

[whispery-song.livejournal.com]

Shh... drink this.

[Pulls a potion out of the bag on her shoulder and carefully pours it down his throat.]

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[Sputters a little, not expecting the potion all of a sudden but who's he to argue? It's working to heal some of the bashes to the head he took, but it's going to take more than that and he's starting to lose his grasp on consciousness.]

[whispery-song.livejournal.com]

[Notices that and frowns.]

Riku, you can't sleep yet. Stay with me, okay?

[Pats his cheek a bit and pulls another potion out to give him.]

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

C-Can't...

[He's doing good to be able to speak at all. She'll probably have time to get another potion down his throat before he passes out.]

[whispery-song.livejournal.com]

[Shit. Slaps his cheeks a little, raising her voice.]

Riku?! Riku, wake up!

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[Sorry, no dice. But if she feels like checking his pulse she'll see he's still quite alive, though his pulse is faint. He's lost quite a lot of blood, as you can see.]

[whispery-song.livejournal.com]

[And when she does check it, she only frowns more, lifting him up into her arms now and flying back into their room. She'll just grab that bowl of water and rag that she keeps in there to clean out the blood in his wound before pouring some potion directly onto it.]

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[Were he awake he would hiss in pain from the stinging, but he's still out cold. He'll be like that for a few hours, too.]

[whispery-song.livejournal.com]

[If he's hurt anywhere else, she's cleaning those wounds and pouring potion into them as well, making sure all wounds are good and healed before setting the water aside and sitting beside him, brushing his bangs from his face.]

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[That probably took her a while, considering Xemnas only bashed his head against the pavement so many times as an afterthought. Oh, and he's back in typical kh2 Riku clothes. Give him a hour or two and he'll slowly start to stir.]

[whispery-song.livejournal.com]

[Next time he goes home, he's going with a Namine attached to his hip >:| When he stirs she looks back down at him, still sitting by his side.]

Riku?

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[Blinks a few times and squints, a hand going to his head first of all.]

hnn?

[whispery-song.livejournal.com]

[Grabs some pain killers and water that was leftover from last time, holding them out with a small smile.]

Here.

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[Tries to sit up slowly, eventually getting over the dizziness. He hesitantly takes what she offers, but the whole while he keeps giving her a wary look.]

[whispery-song.livejournal.com]

[Looks confused, watching him.]

What is it?

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

...Who are you?

[He's inclined to at least be civil, since she did save his life and all.]

[whispery-song.livejournal.com]

[... blinks a couple times.]

It's me, Namine...

[island-hero.livejournal.com]

[hello Curaga get, then sucking down an ether and doing it again.]

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[Still a wary look, but it's questioning, searching for answers.]

That sounds familiar.

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[Oh, thank you for that. Rolls to the side and spits out some blood, halfway unconscious already.]

[whispery-song.livejournal.com]

... what do you mean?

[She has a feeling she knows exactly what's going on.]

[sunrisingly.livejournal.com]

[Shuts his eyes and brings a hand to his head again, trying to remember where he knows that name from.]

I feel like I should know that name, but...

[whispery-song.livejournal.com]

... you don't?
