When you've got nothing inside

[tumultofdarkness]

[Achilies has been hiding for a while, pretty much ever since new year actually, but he's out today. If only because he feels like he owes someone a serious apology.]

Comments

Hero_intraining I got a notif for it at least.

[tumultofdarkness]

[He wont attack her if Iron Imprisoner is kicking his ass :|


YEAH JUST OVER HERE COLLAPSED NOW. So he's gotten his nose broken by Li, got beaten by Frog, and now took a hammer from Iron Imprisoner IV. He probably looks pretty bad now, especially since he didn't defend himself from any of them :|]

how did you check?

[silents]

[She limps over as fast as she can towards him, looking really worried D:]

LJ sent me a notif saying that the automatic payment date was approaching, so I canceled it

[tumultofdarkness]

[Groans and glances up at her. H-hey, don't push yourself! D:

S-sits up.]

..I'm okay.

[LIES. But he doesn't want her worrying about him.]

oh good /checks spam just in case

[silents]

[Offers her free hand, bending down as much as her body will allow to help him up ;;]

Good idea

[tumultofdarkness]

[Shakes his head and gets up himself, doing his best not to show any of the pain he's feeling on his face, even offering a tiny smile for her sake.]

Really, Raine. I'm fine. Don't worry.

phew nothing. good thing I use paypal

[silents]

[Straightens up, clutching at her ribs immediately. Ow, strained it.

Frog bounces over and pushes at her okay leg as if telling her to go back and rest.]

:D

[tumultofdarkness]

[Frowns when he sees that.]

Hey, you need to rest.

[Does she need any extra support? D:]

[silents]

[Fumbles with her crutch, shaking her head and wincing.




... yeah, she needs help, but she won't ask for it ):]

[tumultofdarkness]

[:|

...Carefully scoops her up into his arms, being extra gentle because of her injuries, and starts walking.]

Where's your room? You need to rest, no arguments.

[silents]

[Keeps shaking her head, before wincing and curling up, holding her ribs.]

[tumultofdarkness]

[Frowns then looks at Frog.]

Where's she staying?

[silents]

[Bounce bounce. That room nearby!]

[tumultofdarkness]

[Walks to the room then :|]

[silents]

[Her room/apartment/whatever is plain. Attached kitchen, a table for eating (extra chairs when she has guests! c: ) and her bed there. It's small and simple, but fits her. Near her bedside, there's a vase full of fresh lilies. Guess who risked visiting her earlier.]

[tumultofdarkness]

[Goes straight to the bed and gently lays her down.


...Ignoring those lilies though. He's going to pretend his little confession never happened :c]

[silents]

[She relaxes back on her pillows, and studies him carefully.

The funny thing is that she and Li could be polar opposites, if their parents (BOTH MOMS AND DADS jfc) are anything to go by. So if Li is someone who's ridiculously dense, Raine is more observant.

She picks up her slate one handedly.

"She told me what happened. She freaked out about it."]

[tumultofdarkness]

[Ridiculously observant?

....Looks away, frowning.]



........I didn't want her to know.

[But hey, at least she can hate him now instead of pitying him. He actually things he'd prefer that.]

[silents]

["I don't blame you. She's innocent about things like this, isn't she? And you were pretty good at hiding it."]

[tumultofdarkness]

[Sits on the edge of the bed with a sigh.]

I've had to be, haven't I? It would have ruined everything. Things would have been too awkward.

...Although I don't think I'll have to worry about that now.

[Gives a wry smile.]

Everyone probably hates me for what I did to you. I don't have to worry about them pitying me or anything anymore.

[silents]

[D:!

"If I explain to them, they'll understand!"]

[tumultofdarkness]

[Shrugs.]

Don't bother. It's fine. I've been meaning to disappear for a while anyway. If they don't want anything to do with me, then they wont look for me. It's better this way.

[Now he can get to work on UNINTERRUPTED DARKNESS TRAINING.]

[silents]

[????

"Where are you going?"]

[tumultofdarkness]

[...She's Darkness too, right? She'd probably understand?]


...I tell you, you promise not to tell anyone else?

[silents]

[Nodnod :c]

[tumultofdarkness]

..I'm going to train with my Darkness. I need to learn how to control it so that I don't hurt anyone anymore.
