[He looks tired. Well, tired isn't even the word for it. He looks completely exhausted. Guess who slept maybe once or twice the past few days?]

Um...is everyone all right?

[He wishes he could say he's okay, buut--]

What was with all of that stuff, anyway? That was...that was rough.

((OOC: He's in Violet if you want to jump in as action.

[just... hanging around the general area with his fridge Rotom which is keeping him awake.]

... Doesn't matter. It's over now, and that's what counts.

[monkeyflirt]

[He looks over at the other male, and then rubs the back of his head.]

Yeah, I guess so. But still, I'm a little curious what caused it.

[action]

[skullbashing]

I'm guessing these guys. [jabbing his thumb towards the icy ghost.] Didn't start showing up until things started clearing up after all...

Can't say for sure though.

[monkeyflirt]

[His gaze lands on the pokémon now, raises an eyebrow.] A lot of trouble for pokémon. I didn't even know they could do stuff like that.

Zidane! Thank goodness, you are safe!

[Notice that he a)is using full sentences and b)isn't answering your question.]

[video]

[monkeyflirt]

[Whoa! He can actually speak now! He's going to completely not even realize the fact that he doesn't answer the question...for now. Even though he doesn't quite feel like it, he's going to make himself a little happier for his friend.]

Of course! So the cat let go of your tongue, huh?

[video]

[puppet_paladin]

Indeed it did.

[The look on his face gets a teensy little bit darker.]

I suppose I should thank those ghosts for their... unusual way of helping people face themselves.

[video]

[monkeyflirt]

[Oops, he said something wrong didn't he?]

Sorry that it was bad for you...but at least you're talking now.

[He doesn't want to pry and ask what he saw, because he doesn't want to talk about it either.]

Have you heard from the others yet?

[video]

[primaduelerina]

Zidane! Are you all right?

[video]

[monkeyflirt]

[He smiles a little crookedly, but musters up enough to sound upbeat in his response.]

Don't worry your pretty little head about me. It's nothing I can't handle~.

[video]

[primaduelerina]

... Which isn't really a yes or a no.

[video]

[monkeyflirt]

Yes, I'm fine. If I couldn't handle a few nightmares and stuff, then I wouldn't be the great Zidane, right?

[It wasn't exactly a lie.]

You never answered my question, either. Are you okay?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

You holding up over there?

[video]

[monkeyflirt]

Yeah. I'll be okay. Nothing a little real sleep can't fix!

[A pause.]

What about you?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

I'm ready for some actual sleep, but I'm okay too.

[video]

[monkeyflirt]

You and me both. Hadn't gone that long without sleep in a while, and I'm not sure I want to repeat that any time soon.

[video]

[complexrestart]

I'm doing fine, much better than I was a couple of days ago.

[She notices how tired he looks.] Are you all right, Zidane?

[video]

[monkeyflirt]

That's good to hear, sweetheart.

[lgkhdglhk he's touched by how many people are asking about him but at the same time, he doesn't want to worry them. So here's a smile.] I'm fine, don't worry about me. I wouldn't be the great Zidane if I couldn't handle this, right?

[video]

[complexrestart]

[She smiles back.] That's true! [She looks a little worried now.] I really hope your nightmares weren't too bad.

[video]

[monkeyflirt]

[Hmmm...destroying his world and seeing the people he loved get killed? Nah, that's not too bad. Not like he'd tell her that.]

They weren't. What did I just tell you about worrying about me~?
