a downside to everything

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

[Hey, look who it is, hanging out in a common room in his 'family' hallyway. He got sick of laying in bed, so now he's propped up on a sofa, his left arm still heavily wrapped in bandages, as well as part of his chest. There's some crafting materials scattered about because he was trying to do a bit of work on presents, but he had to stop when what's left of his arm started to hurt.]

... ugh... dammmit...

[Well hey there, have a (concerned!) Riku peeking in.]

Ri?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*t-trying to hide his bandaged arm under a blanket but failing badly*

What's up, Riku-pi?

[dawnrise]

[Nice try.]

Nothing. What happened?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

What happened where?

*he can try again*

[dawnrise]

[And she can walk over and steal his blanket. But she won't do that. ...yet.]

Your arm.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*winces a bit*

... oh. Right. Well, it's a funny story actually.

[dawnrise]

I'm sure.

[Her tone says she doubts it's funny at all. But do go on.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not funny ha-ha. It's more like funny oh-god-what's-going-on.

[dawnrise]

So what is the story?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Errr... a Vexen tried to eat me and I strongly objected?

[dawnrise]

A Vexen?

[It's funny how that's the part she finds odd.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what caught me off-guard. He got the jump on me. Literally. Fucker fell from the ceiling on top of me.

[dawnrise]

[Stares.]

Definitely not something I'd expect. What happened?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

That's pretty much it. I'd never met the guy before. He fell from the ceiling on me and started biting and slashing me up. Axel -- Kai's boyfriend -- he was the one who stopped Vexen in the end. I can't even remember the last five minutes of it.

[dawnrise]

[Frowns, crossing her arms.]

Wonder why he chose you.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. He didn't say much of anything except that it was "daddy's" job to wash his clothes. Maybe he's something like a naga, but with less snakeiness.

[dawnrise]

Or he's like that one Saix.

[She is quite glad Ri didn't lose an arm. But now she's trying to get a better look at his injuries.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he's trying to keep his arm under that blanket thanks*

Why is it always cannibals?

[dawnrise]

Beats me. But I wish they'd get lost.

[Nods at his arm. She'll get a look. When he least expects it.]

How bad is it?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*well, it's not like he can fight you off :/ he'll be readjusting that blanket as best he can though*

Sora patched me up. This is the first time I've been out of our room -- let alone the bed -- for days.

[dawnrise]

[She won't make him, though. And she doesn't look surprised to hear that.]

Mm... That bad, then.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*winces a bit*

I didn't lose a limb!

[dawnrise]

[Smirks a bit.]

You're lucky you didn't.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Sora would've yelled at me.

[dawnrise]

Probably.

[No pity from her about that thought.]
