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...]

Comments

[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--]

[waywardwind]

[That's Namine for you. Sighs.]

Yeah, I probably wouldn't leave you alone either...

[lethechained]

[Y e p. She is a lot more suited to quiet pursuits than he is, that's for sure.]

... Mm. You probably wouldn't.

[And even though that's not even a thing at the moment, she can't help smiling.]

You're too good.

[Not that she thinks so of herself, but it's much easier to compliment him.]

[waywardwind]

I could say the same for you. I can't even sneak out under your watch.

[lethechained]

[Her smile widens, eyes lowering almost bashfully before returning partway up.]

I wouldn't be much of a girlfriend if I couldn't look after you, or didn't know you well enough to know you would try to escape.
