Tenth Firefly - [Action] - Forward-dated to Christmas morning

[presumablyalone]

[Under one of the lit up trees, not too far from the plaza, is a young boy just slumped up against it with only new feathers white pants on.  Snow that had fallen from the tree branches above him is now on the top of his head, his shoulders and lap, but he's too far out of it to feel the icy sting on his skin.  It's obvious he's been out there for

[Yui was leaving to get ready to start giving out presents to everyone with Madoka at some point when she noticed a familiar figure underneath a tree.

...was that...it was that boy! She rushes over to check on his pulse and his condition. He was ok, but oh god he should not be out here dressed like this.]

H-Hey...um, what was it...Seto! Seto-san! Can you hear me?

[presumablyalone]

[Sorry Yui, you're not going to get a response from Seto. He does let out a small noise though and his fingers flex, digging through the snow next him]

[thederpyhalf]

[She frowns. Even with Seto's small frame, she would have a difficult time carrying him, so she had to get him to wake up. But it looks like he could hear him, his hand moved at least. She quickly pulls off her coat, laying it on Seto like a blanket and nudges his shoulder.]

Seto-san, you need to wake up.

[presumablyalone]

[He shivers just a little as the coat is being put on him since it brought a small draft and slowly begins to open his eyes. His eyes... don't seem to be focusing so he can't see who's talking to him]

Mm... ?

[thederpyhalf]

[O-Oh, he opened his eyes. That's a good start.]

You're back in Luceti now. How are you feeling?

[presumablyalone]

I'm back...

[He was just repeating that to himself so it'll actually sink in. Smiling after a moment, he closes his eyes again to nod slightly] A little tired... and cold, but okay.

[thederpyhalf]

[She smiles and then carefully holds him up in a sitting position so she can hug him. It was to help him warm up a little faster, but she really was relieved to see Seto was all right.]

I'm glad. I'm going to help you get inside so you can rest properly, all right? But I need your help too, if you can stand...

[presumablyalone]

[At first, Seto just blinks in surprise at the hug but after a minute or two, he smiles softly and returns the hug as best as he can, which isn't very much. Feeling as weak as he is, his arms are really just draped around her limply. She's so warm... ]

O-Okay... [There's a pause] You're that girl from the draft... aren't you? Your voice sounds like hers...

[thederpyhalf]

[It's okay Seto. Yui understands.]

Mm. We never did introduce ourselves, but my name's Yui Konagi. Firo-san told me your name after...oh, and the othe girl who was with me was Fuuko-san. [Yeaa, let's not mention the dead thing]
