[ hi well vax is here! he is covered in vin's blood! he has been coughing up deep plum purple flower petals, interspersed with the occasional olive petals it's

everything is fine

he's fine ]

[fretbro]

[well - okay, he's stressed but not enough that he can't concentrate, so he just comes over to vax and crouches down in front of him and offers his hands. give.]

[daggering]

[ it's

a long moment, but, he will give them over. his hands are shaking. ]

[fretbro]

[he summons something - a little amber cloth, and then glances over at riff.]

Hey, dude - can I get some water? Please? [you just sit tight, vax.]

[decisions]

[ he'll eventually make his way over at some point to just kind of

wipe some of the blood with a handkerchief quietly. whatever, man. this is fine. ]

[daggering]

[ .... this is fine. he just lets this happen, taking a shaky breath as he hacks up a last handful of flowers - plum, olive, azure blue - really the first large attack of this he's had all week long.

vax wipes his mouth afterwards, and eventually says, quietly: ] ... she thought she had me.

[decisions]

[ oh buddy...

he's careful when brushing some stray petals away from his lap and his shirt, not missing the color at all. he just places a hand on his knee, squeezing lightly. ]

You were probably real enough where they went... she's back with us now. [ he knows it doesn't mean much. ] Look at me.

[ktiseos]

[yeah ok screw subtlety

he's just settling wherever vax is, right next to him, not caring whether he's getting blood on him. he's here.]

[daggering]

[ sometimes something just comes and punches you in your trauma button real hard

... he does seem appreciative, at least, wiping flower petals away from his mouth and reaching up to scrub a hand over his face. ]

...sorry. Sorry.

[ktiseos]

Don't.

[no apologizing right now.

he uses his robe sleeve to help wipe off any blood on vax's face.]

[jiuqing is resting it's fine i haven't submitted my medbay pod use yet but i will soon i promise work is just stupid rn



This Is Fine]

[fretbro]

[puts a warm amber blanket over her ):]

[countermeasures]

[she stirs a little when he puts the blanket over her and snuggles into it, then looks up tiredly with a small smile]

...thank you.

[fretbro]

Hey, yeah, of course. You should rest.

[he tugs the blanket up to cover her a bit more.]

[decisions]

[ percy is sat by her with some tea just occasionally coughing up some dark petals here or there, but he's... yeah. just. frets quickly. ]

[countermeasures]

[not to make it worse but uh



she looks significantly more worse-off now that the black, tarlike substance is gone, because instead of looking like someone just dumped black goo on her, it is now possible to see the full extent of her injuries. she's pretty heavily bandaged all over, and most of the parts of her that are not bandaged are mottled with bruises.

when he coughs, she looks up, a little worried, and reaches over to put a hand on his wrist.]

[daggering]

[ when we're less in panic meltdown mode - vax did at least bring blankets and nice things for them earlier in the day since this was the planned spot, so he's gonna make sure jiuqing has somewhere nice and comfy to rest too ]

[countermeasures]

[well! she looks significantly more worse-off now that the black, tarlike substance is gone, because instead of looking like someone just dumped black goo on her, it is now possible to see the full extent of her injuries. she's pretty heavily bandaged all over, and most of the parts of her that are not bandaged are mottled with bruises.

...and this is


this is very sweet of him. but unfortunately, jiuqing seems strangely guilty and uncomfortable when he's making sure of that.]

...I'm sorry.

[rindude]

[you know what. here. cool blue pillow to cradle her head carefully. helping :(]

[countermeasures]

[helping!

she shifts a little to look up at him]

...thank you.

[ktiseos]

[he's going to be here at some point too, just-- quietly checking in. making sure she's at least stable, that she doesn't need anything else.]

[countermeasures]

[she looks significantly more worse-off now that the black, tarlike substance is gone, because instead of looking like someone just dumped black goo on her, it is now possible to see the full extent of her injuries. she's pretty heavily bandaged all over, and most of the parts of her that are not bandaged are mottled with bruises.

...but it's fine. she is stable. she used the pods.]

...Emet-Selch?

[fretbro]

[he's curled up on a couch after he emotional support dogs vax, but he's here, hugging a pikachu doll. y'all gonna give him grey hairs at sixteen.]

[rindude]

[uses this time to actually get a thread with you which means that also after emotional support-dogging vax he's going to drift over and settle a little closer than normal.]

...what're you gonna do tomorrow?

[since. it's inevitable they'll get split up again.]

[fretbro]

[god right

he puts the pikachu doll in riff's lap.]

... I don't know. Maybe try to finish Breath of the Wild. [he slumps, leaning over to rest his head on riff's shoulder.] Maybe... if I go to your archway before we get booted out of here it'll let us stay together?
