[ Normally this hall is quiet, secluded and separate from the more popular areas -- and it still is. All but quiet. Vicious growls and bangs come from one of the rooms, because something large and angry is trying to break out. The door is thick and solid and successfully preventing whatever it is inside from escaping, but it isn't discouraged. The sounds don't let up at all, and it's been going on for hours. There aren't many things that howl like that, and for anyone curious there's a safe way to investigate. A small opening provides a means to look inside the room. A window, before something punched through it, spilling glass and shredded, bloodied fur out into the hall. ]

[[ooc: yyyep. this is what happens when your friends are from Halloween Town]]

[She doesn't even look up when he returns, but she does reach out to take the pants with her clean hand. She's sucking the remaining peanut butter off of her fingers so she can put them on, and maybe biting down on one of them. She's still dazed and out of it and it looks like it's getting worse.]

...Riku. Wait until we're at your room to pass out.

[Please let exhaustion be the only reason she's so out of it. :| Aside from pain.]

Doing my best.

[Definitely biting her finger now. That's why she's doing it, and why she's eating in the first place. She's not that hungry; it's to try and stay awake.]

[Good idea. Is she going to put the pants on? He'll even turn around so she can.]

[Yes, she'll slide into them as soon as he does that, and then promptly fall back over on the ground once they're one.]

[Well, he'll shoulder the bag again, then carefully pick her up. Enjoy that uh. bare chest there. He didn't think to grab another shirt, since he didn't want to take any longer than necessary grabbing those pants.]

[She's so far from caring right now, Riku just squeezes her eyes shut and leans against him. It still bothers her on some level to be carried, but that's buried under all the exhaustion and ache.]

[Well, she can complain about it later or something. For now, he's just going to carry her to her room.]

[Except she won't. He's probably not expecting a lot of conversation, but she's trying not to fall asleep in his arms.]

That wasn't... how I thought it would be.

[Hey, if that's what it takes, he doesn't care.]

How did you think it would be?

... I don't know. Just... not like that.

[She's not sure how to describe either one.]

Not so painful?

[With everything reforming, it's not too surprising.]

...no. Definitely not. I though it would hurt, but not like that.

[Not that everything would hurt.]

We can start looking up ways to lessen the pain, in case it happens next month, too.

[That gets her groaning.]

I don't even want to think about going through that again.

I figured, but realistically...

[He trails off. He'd rather she didn't go through that again either, but with this place, you never know.]

I know. But I can't--

[She's going to stop talking there before she says something completely stupid.]

[He blinks down at her when she stops, a bit confused. But he'll keep walking, and won't push.]

[She'll have her eyes closed by that point, and doesn't intend to open them any time soon.]

How far are we?

Almost there.

[...He's tempted to stick around after he's put her in her room. Or at least check in on her fairly often.]

[Then they'd be even, as far as watching each other sleep goes. Riku might be drifting off as he walks, though.]

[They're close enough that he's okay with that, and once they reach her room he's going to try very hard not to jostle her while opening the door.]

[He could take it as a compliment. Or maybe it's just that she's so exhausted she can't stay awake anymore. She doesn't open her eyes or anything.]

[Well, here you go, Riku, have a bed!]

[Funny how that tends to wake someone up just enough, hm? She doesn't say anything, but her eyes are open now, and she's looking at him.]
