never change

[waywardwind]

[He just got careless. And now he's paying for it in bed arrest.

... well, not for long, he thinks.





Now the problem is to how to bypass her...]

[lethechained]

[How to bypass her, indeed. She's been very careful about looking after him this whole time, that's for sure. (Just because he was careless doesn't mean she's going to be.) There's a chair pulled up next to his bed, and she is currently occupying said chair - but everybody's gotta rest sometime, right? Right.]

[Well, her eyes are shut, at least.]

[Whether or not she's actually asleep is anybody's guess.]

[waywardwind]

...

[He'll lean in close to study her face carefully.

.... is she asleep...]

[lethechained]

[She's breathing quite evenly. There's a little upturn at the corner of her lips, but there doesn't seem to be any real proof one way or the other. She is, however, very, very still, so that might. Count?]

[Even if she is asleep he'd better be quiet.]

[waywardwind]

[He studies her longer before scooting along his bed as quietly as he can to open his window...]

[lethechained]

[Well, he seems to be getting away with it so far!]

[... So far.]

[waywardwind]

[... glances at her cautiously, GULPS, then summons his Keyblade. Okay, he's got a split second to do this. Throw it down, turn it into his Rider, catch himself, get the fuck out of here.]

[lethechained]

[He only gets about as far as summoning said Keyblade before there is a sudden,]

Ventus.




[Game over, man.]

[Game over.]

[waywardwind]

[NO IT CAN'T BE GAME OVER. ;;

.... faces her, Keyblade still in hand.]

J-just getting some fresh air...?

[lethechained]

[The Look? The Look says the game is most definitely over.]

You need your Keyblade to get fresh air.

[It's technically a question. It doesn't sound like one.]

[waywardwind]

Y-yes...?

[... demonstrates with an Aero :D]

[lethechained]

[Ven.]

[Did you just use magic in front of her while injured.]

[She Does Not Look Impressed.]

You can do that from bed, can't you?

[waywardwind]

[Face falls. Oh shit, now what.]

I-I told you, I'm well enough!

[lethechained]

[Now? Now he gets the pout in addition to the Look.]

Aqua says that you aren't. You're still supposed to be resting...!

[She breathes out a sigh, eyes lowering.]

... And I'm supposed to be looking after you.

[Feel bad yet, Ven?]

[waywardwind]

[WHINES AND DISMISSES HIS KEYBLADE, FALLING BACK ON THE BED :|]

[lethechained]

[-- Aw, what a good boy. Her pout eases away, a small smile taking its place.]

Thank you, Ven. That means a lot to me.]

[SO PLEASANTLY like she didn't even have to guilt him into it just now.]

[waywardwind]

... this is torture. TORTURE.

[lethechained]

[Her hands fold together, smile weakening. Way to make her feel bad again.]

I'm sorry, Ven. I... know it's no fun. [Pause.] Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?

[waywardwind]

... I can't really go out?

[):]

[lethechained]

[She breathes out a sigh, considering him a moment.]

... I can see about taking you outside to rest there. But-- for now, not for anything that would mean you putting any weight on your legs.

[So no, no Keyblade shenanigans. :|]

[waywardwind]

[SIIIIIIIIIIGH ):]

[lethechained]

[... Sigh. :c]

[Look, Ven, you made your girlfriend sad.]

[waywardwind]

[Oh noooo.]

.. I'm sorry. But you know I get restless when I'm like this.

[lethechained]

[She shakes her head, still frowning.]

I know. You know I'm sorry when you have to be like this. ... I hate it.

[waywardwind]

I hate it too. A lot.

... if you were in my shoes, what would you even do all day?

[lethechained]

[She manages to offer part of a smile, at least. She's trying.]

... If it were me? [... Well, that doesn't take too much thought.] I would probably draw. Maybe practice some magic, if I didn't have to move my legs. And-- I'd talk to you, if you were with me.

[Not that she means to assume or insinuate he should be, but--]
