[ Accidental Video ] The Anesthetic Never Set In...

[ackupunctured]

[ To those that bothered Sasuke while he was training last time, the feed starts up on a familiar set of vertical logs. Like the last time he was out here he's training, but there's something slightly off about his movements. They're not as sure as they were the last time, and on a few occasions he misses his target but just slightly

I assumed "filtered from children" included Al :3

[ Alphonse had meant to call Sasuke sooner, but then he'd gone home, and came back, and become a girl... and, he just never got around to it. ]

[ However, now that he was reaching for his Dreamberry to call Sasuke to talk about alchemy, he came across this video. It didn't take much to notice the bandages and the way Sasuke was holding himself. ]

A-are you alright?!

Most likely~ and forgive him if he's cranky |D;;;

[ackupunctured]

[ Though Sasuke has no real reason to be angry at the boy stuck in the metal suit, he shoots a glare at the screen anyway. The blood is trailing a bit in the gauze so a visible streak can be seen. It gives the appearance of crying. ]

I'm fine.

Anyone would be cranky if they just got their eye pulled out >:

[seekingbody]

[ The blood trail didn't make Sasuke look 'fine' at all. Fortunately, Edward got into foul moods often, so Alphonse wasn't put off at all by the glare. ]

You don't look fine.

Have you seen a doctor about that?

cut out but same difference~

[ackupunctured]

....

[ He doesn't respond right away, but if looks could talk it would say 'obviously'. Instead he tries to take a breath and not yell at the other boy. ]

Yes.

[ainoakuma]

[Flonne knew that Sasuke wasn't too found of her, but she wanted to become friends with him. She cringed seeing his bandages and such.]

S-Sasuke-san...? Please let me help you. Please let me heal you.

[He may not have considered her a friend, but he looked like he was in need and she had to help him. Just seeing him hurt like that made her heart wrench.]

[ackupunctured]

[ Sasuke glares over at the screen. He's had more than his fair share of people wanting to help him, and every offer only reminds him of how weak he was. Reaction: Push them all away. ]

I don't need your help.

[ainoakuma]

[Flonne, on the other hand, didn't think getting help made someone weak. It was nice to be able to rely on yourself, but that wasn't always the case.]

You're not alone, Sasuke-san. You're badly hurt...

[ackupunctured]

[ Sasuke's fists clench, and the glare only intensifies. ]

I'm fine!

[knight_in_red]

[Since their last conversation, Sasuke and her didn't meet on the same terms, but she couldn't ignore what she saw on the dreamberry. She was deeply concerned.]

Are you alright? You shouldn't push yourself.

[ackupunctured]

I don't need you to tell me what to do.

[ He stands and glares at the dreamberry with fists clenched. While she's probably right, Sasuke's stubborn and hard-headed. ]

[knight_in_red]

[Hikaru was silent for awhile. Sadly, she was kind of the same way. If she was injured, she would be trying to do something strenuous as well, even if it would only do harm rather than good.]

No, you don't. But I'm telling you because I'm concerned.

[ackupunctured]

I don't need you to be concerned for me.

[ Stubborn to a fault he is. ]

[ofredemption]

...What are you doing, Sasuke? [Haseo stands over him, arms crossed]

Do I have to drag you back to that doctor again?

[ackupunctured]

[ He turns quickly to look at Haseo, and the knowledge that the older boy had managed to sneak up on him doesn't help his state of mind either. ]

I'm fine.

[ Though he's missing one eye, there's still more than enough glare in the remaining orb to pack a punch. If you're affected by such things of course. ]

[ofredemption]

[Considering the fact he's saved your life twice now, you'd think he wouldn't glare at him. But instead, the teen looks at him, then looks away, his voice quiet. ]

I didn't get there in time.

[ackupunctured]

Tch.

[ Sorry Haseo, glaring is a knee jerk reaction for the young boy. He looks away now as well his voice a little softer but no less hurt and angry, more so at himself than anyone else. Perhaps Haseo will recognize that. ]

I don't need you to protect me, Haseo. I should be able to take care of myself.

[ After all he'd been doing it since he was 6, but what real threats had he had? There had always been someone to watch over him whether it was the village or his cell, Kakashi, Sakura, Naruto, someone. ]

[Soubi found where the boy was working with the video. He walked toward him with a first aid kit.]

That needs to be re wrapped.

[action]

[ackupunctured]

[ After the feed had ended, Sasuke had gone back to training. He stopped mid kick, his leg wresting perpendicular to one side of the log. He lowered it slowly and glared at the man who had stepped between him and his brother. ]

[action]

[smokinfighter]

[ohhh, so scary. Not. Soubi didn't flinch at all and only opened the box, taking out the gauze.]

Sasuke, yes? I'm Soubi. Take off that dirty wrap slowly so it doesn't pull.

[action]

[ackupunctured]

I don't need you to help me.

[ He doesn't care. he doesn't trust Soubi on a matter of principle. ]
