riku

(no subject)

[A common sight with massive amounts of snow would definitely be a decorated tree. In Radiant Garden there's a massive one strung with tiny colorful lights, plastic icicles and of course, snow. There's pale pastel colored, blown glass ornaments as well. One in particular seems to be weighing down a branch more than it should be.

Upon closer inspection, the curious will discover not a normal ornament but a frost-decorated, glass bottle sealed with a cork and hung by a string. Inside is the tiny figure of a sleeping Riku spread across the bottom of the container, wings wrapped around himself for warmth.]

[Sora nods and thinks for a moment.]

Riku, I'm going to turn the bottle very slowly onto its side, okay? Then you can just... walk out the opening. I don't want to dump you out and you hit your head on the glass . Could you go stand in the corner right here, where my finger is?

[he points at a spot where the side and bottom of the bottle meets.]

[Riku will scoot over to that spot, unwilling to try standing just yet if Sora's going to be tipping the bottle. He isn't quite small enough to actually walk out the mouth of the bottle, but crawling out should work.]

[Sora sticks his tongue out and concentrates on not being too heavy-handed as he turns the bottle. Riku should be able to scoot down almost like he's on a slide, before touching the side of the bottle. Sora puts his hand under the opening and encourages Riku out with a smile and a nod.]

[He'll escape the bottle carefully, finally stopping to kneel in the palm of Sora's hand. One of his wings are still bent a little strangely; he may need some help in straightening it again for it to heal properly. Riku certainly can't stretch it around to reach it as he normally would when it's like this.]

Thank you, Sora.

[Aww, it's a bite-sized Riku! Not that he would ever bite him, but it's quite cute. His eyes will twinkle with a bit of concern for that wing though, and he puts the bottle down, cupping Riku carefully.]

That looks like it hurts.

[He certainly appreciates how gentle Sora's being, now. He turns his head to look over his shoulder at his wing, then looks back up at Sora.]

It needs to be set. Will you help me?

Of course, Riku. Would you like me to take you back to where I stay, or is there somewhere else you would rather go? How will you get big again?

I'm not strong enough to be bigger than this right now. Where you live is fine. I doubt where I was before is still there.

[He's a little put-out about that, too.]

Okay. I have a little puppy, just to warn you. She's really small though, and I'll make sure you're safe from her.

[ He carefully walks with Riku towards home near the suburbs/beach, trying not to bounce too much. When they both arrive, he'll pet Abigail to let her know he's home, and show her Riku. Try not to be terrified of the now-Cerberus-appearing corgi who is snuffling. ]

Abby, this is Riku. He's a friend. Don't eat him.

[It's a little hard not to be afraid of something that could practically suck you into its nostril from sniffing alone. Riku will be instinctively grabbing for one of Sora's fingers for stability when the dog exhales, wincing.]

[ He will be taking Riku away to his bedroom and putting him on the bed, where it is soft and cushy. ]

Okay. What do I do now?

[Riku will settle carefully on his knees, the injured wing lifted from his body as much as he can stand. The movement loosens a few more feathers.]

I need you to... straighten it... Then bind something to it to make sure it heals straight.

[ Sora does just so, and... goes to find a toothpick, keeping Abigail at bay. He also grabs a spool of purple thread, but once he unravels some, he's at a loss as to how he can possibly bind the toothpick. ]

My hands are too big. Can you tie it on, if I hold the toothpick?

[Riku's face is looking pretty pale, his hands clenched in the blanket of the bed from when the bones were reset. Even the idea of twisting himself or trying to pull his wing around to reach to tie anything has him shaking his head.]

I might.. be able to hold it. But I can't tie it. Do you have any bandaging tape?

[ Sora notices that Riku looks pretty awful, and he thinks on that for a moment, going to the first aid chest in the bathroom and retrieving some first aid tape. He will return and get out his scissors to cut the strips long-ways so they are thinner, and uses it to secure the toothpick. ]

That should do it, right? Are you... do you want something to drink? I'll make you a bed to rest in.

[Once Sora is done it's all Riku can do to simply let himself sink down onto the bed, both wings spread out limply. He doesn't want to move, but after forcing himself to think about it, he doesn't want to chance the dog jumping up onto the bed to get to him, either.]

A bed would be nice. Thank you, Sora.
