oo42 [ voice // action ] BACKDATED TO THE 20TH

[poppetry]

Um... hi. [ She feels a little awkward, not knowing how to begin -- but she softens it with a laugh. ] It's been over a week now ... I wanted to thank everyone who's been taking care of me, and everyone who's come to see me at the clinic! It made me really happy. [ A beat ] And look, I'm even outside today!

[ She turns the journal away from her

[The mention of Vanitas makes Luke's light expression darken, but he pushes that aside for later. They can talk about that when she's actually sitting and not worrying about how to get to their destination.

Once she's ready, Luke wraps an arm around her waist again and holds her against his side, giving her something to hold on to as well as support on her feet. He walks slow, a leisurely stroll of sorts, though he knows it isn't nearly as easy a task to her.]

Just tell me if I need to stop again, okay?

[Actionated!!] dude i got sidetracked by Nick Pitera aaaa

[poppetry]

[ She settles against him, as she has been doing. It's hard to hold onto him for support -- given the status of her arms -- but she does lean. More than a little if she gets tired, but for now she's alright. She looks up at him and smiles. ]

I will. I'm okay for now, though. [ She looks ahead, pulling the corner of her mouth into a crooked smile ] I don't think this path ever felt so long until today.

[Actionadjacent!!] it's okay i did too

[cakeblocked]

[He looks ahead, too, though he does glance down at her every now and then, just to see how she's doing. It was probably risky, going all the way to the village plaza... But it's been a long week for her, and recovery has been boring as hell for both her and him, considering he's been staying at her side for almost all of that time.]

It won't be like that for long. You're getting better every day. [He says with a smile. It's mostly thanks to Mia that Xion's been recovering like this... He'd have to thank her later.]

[Action... able?] flippin your fins you don't get too far...

[poppetry]

[ Of course, as time goes by she'll lean against him more and more. It does hurt a little to push herself like this, and her body is still tired from all the energy she's had to expend on healing. But she wants this so badly -- giving up before they got there would feel just awful. So she'll persevere.

Still, she makes a soft sound, almost a laugh, at what he says. ] Yeah. Thanks to Mia, and Ceodore, and everyone who's been helping. I feel like I owe them something, though I know they'd say no. [ Still, Mia... Mia was the person there that night. Who knows what might have happened to her if Mia hadn't responded so quickly. She'll pay the other girl back someday, somehow... ]

[Well, if it isn't Cheyenne's favorite derplicas! Since she can't very well stay moping in her room forever, Cheyenne was just taking a stroll around the village when she spots the both of them sitting on a bench up ahead.]

[Despite the fact that she can't see any of Xion's injuries, the fainter-than-usual glow of her soul tells her she must be hurt in some way. Perhaps recovering, if she's well enough to be outside. Normally Cheyenne might have gone on her way, seeing as it's been awhile since they last spoke, but Luke was with her as well... it would be rude to not at least say hello, right?]

Hello Luke. Hello Xion.

[Action]

[cakeblocked]

[The two are sitting close to the other's side, both eating a dish of soft, boneless chicken. Luke is happy as a clam; chicken is his favorite meal, and he's with the girl he loves, and she's recovered enough to be outside. How could he not be happy with this?

The voice makes him look up from his meal, and he takes a second to wipe his mouth clean with the napkin in his lap (not that it was messy, it's just a force of habit) before he raises his head a little to greet her.]

Hey Cheyenne!

[Action]

[poppetry]

[ Xion, for her part, is happy for most of the same reasons, though she really hasn't got any particular feeling about chicken. It's chicken! Everything tastes like chicken. But it's still good, and she's very happy to be out here, away from the clinic for the first time in what feels like forever.

She, too, pauses when Cheyenne approaches, and she takes a moment longer than Luke to clean her face and hands before smiling at the other girl. ]

Cheyenne... it's good to see you. It's been a while.

[Action]

[mmmfilletofsoul]

It has been, hasn't it. My apologies.

[Is that the sort of thing she should apologize for...? Sure, let's roll with it. She knows she's been antisocial lately, after all. Just a bit more than usual... but still.]

I hope I am not merely making an incorrect assumption, but are you all right? You seem unwell. [Well, her soul does, but that still counts.]

[Action] - placeholder until after work. |D/

[sun_puppy]

[Along their walk, Luke and Xion might spot a small, white puppy taking a quick snooze under the shade of a nearby tree. It yawns, rolls over on the grass, then lifts its head once a few voices start coming closer. Familiar voices. Those two pointy ears perk right up, and in an instant, the puppy recognizes the duo and bounds over toward them in...ungraceful and adorably hilarious hops. It is just a puppy, after all.

Xioooon! 8D You're out of the hospital finally, did you get my flowers? Did you like them? Are you feeling any better? All those questions come out as exciteable little yips and barks as the tiny pup wags its tail and jumps up and down happily. Seems Miyabi's too excited to see her big sister to remember that she can't speak, and that she's a little baby godpuppy.]

[OOC: Also I can't remember if Xion can see Ammy/Chibi's markings and divine instrument, so yeah. 8|a]

[Action] - same here |D/

[cakeblocked]

[Luke isn't really an animal type, especially the cute animal type. So once the little white puppy bounds over and starts hopping up and down, Luke stops and makes a face. To him, all this puppy is doing is getting in their way and making their journey a little harder, but he won't nudge it out of the way or anything. He will complain, though, and move his free hand in a gesture to go away.]

Go play with someone else, we're busy right now.

[Action] - HI GUYS

[poppetry]

Hey! Come on, Luke, don't be mean. [ She's smiling, leaning over a little in his grip to watch the puppy. But after just a moment her expression blanks out into surprise as she realizes what she's looking at. She can indeed see the markings and divine instrument.... but this is a puppy, not a wolf! ]

... Amaterasu? Is that you? You're so tiny!

[Action] - HI BIBBLE /edits to MAKE THIS BETTER.

[sun_puppy]

[...Luke, you did not just try and shoo her away. Miyabi growls at him, half tempted to march right to him and lift her leg threateningly. She never would actually follow through, of course (th-that's disgusting, and mean, and uncivilized, and--!), but still. It may be funny to see Luke's reaction to it. Of course, Xion's recognition of her omits all thoughts of revenge in the blink of an eye.

So, Xion could see her. Or, well...this Chibi person she had apparently become. A-Ammy's child. Miyabi was still reeling about that. Slowly, Miyabi lowers her head as she goes over toward Xion and whines, shaking her head. No, Xion, she is not Amaterasu. With a swish of her stubby tail, Miyabi draws a single dot in the ground, where a big, bright, yellow lilly bursts forth from the ink. It's among the many flowers Miyabi gave to Xion while she was in the hospital. Hopefully that should get the message across.]

[HELLO

Mewtwo had been heading towards the clinic for his hours of sitting guard, but what do you know - she's up and about!

He stops, looking surprised.]

[Action]

[cakeblocked]

[We wouldn't exactly say "up and about", as Luke still has to help her a great deal. But she's outside and walking on her two feet! Once Luke sees Mewtwo standing there, he nods in greeting and offers a smile.]

Mewtwo!

[Action]

[poppetry]

[ Xion, for her part, just grins. ]

Hey! It's good to see you.

[Action]

[antlioncyclone]

[...well, you two look happy.]

You're ready to leave already?

[consultmybooks]

...I'm glad you're feeling better, Xion.

[Yeah, a small jar of daisies might have found its way to her bedside table before Giles left the clinic.]

And I'm glad you're outside. Both of you. It is a nice day.

[poppetry]

[ She saw it. And she smiles, very much, to hear his voice. ]

Giles! Hey. Thank you... it feels really good to be out here. Even if I'm kind of tired from all that walking.

[ She's only replying now that she's made it to the village plaza... and she's really pretty beat. ]

Re: Voice - Same Filter

[consultmybooks]

You've tired yourself out already? You're worse than I am, Xion.

[Says the man who walked most of the village trying to find safe places for the flowers he received.]

[poppetry]

Hey, that's not fair! I'm still not all better, you know. [ she's teasing, though, and not fussed. ]
