[It’s a late night post, a video display of Zack from his chin on down, facing a clear glass bowl with a golden fish idly swimming in lackadaisical circles. He really needs to put more stuff in there, you know. Fake plastic trees. Treasure chests. Something. Gil has to get bored with just those precious rocks given to him from small, kind hands…]

[your dream concerns her. where for a moment, she considers she may not be alone in this place, after all. but no, it must be related to buffy's dream. prophecies are such much better when there is more than one at the same time.]

A swordsman with one hand is not much of one.

[do you want gangrene or something? god.]

[Close enough! It's like, second cousin of doctors! Maybe first cousin, twice removed!]

...You're not going to let me not do this, are you?

[Will the puppy pout work? He's sure trying...]

[thenobledie]

[well... at least she is pretty, then?]

I came this far, didn't I?

[no. she is immune. :|]

[i_love_squats]

[Yeah, yeah, lucky her. It's always a saving grace around Zack.]

How did you get this far, anyway?

[HA! Subject change!]

[thenobledie]

That is a secret.

[no, it's not; she is just not having any of this because seriously. SERIOUSLY. stop being dumb.]

Now?

[It's not dumb; it's stubborn. But hey, even he knows when he's defeated, and it's usually when a beautiful woman is in his home. Sighing, his hand is presented, still wrapped in those cruddy bandages.]

Here.

[thenobledie]

[finally.

shirley removes the bandages, gentle, and if they fall to the floor, they...fall to the floor. she holds his hand by the digits and places the other over the injury. then, there's another bright light, golder than the one before, and warmth; and in an instance, the injury is gone.]

[Sorry, he's just such a problem patient.

[He watches with a worried, paranoid stare, eyes wide, arm tense; he's ready to pull back at any second, at the hint that something's going wrong. Damn doctors have done him wrong in the past and it shows. But she's different, and he can feel that comforting heat, the sensation of skin knitting together and the start of the infection zipping away before, poof, healed. Experimentally, he open/closes his hand, then looks over at her, weakly smiling.]

Thanks. I mean that, really. I don't know how to thank you...

action;

[thenobledie]

[her hand drops to her side, and she smiles graciously. it's the usual smile she gives those she heals, many in the clinic being familiar with it now.]

It was nothing.

I beg to differ, Shirley.

[ Yes, that's a challenge. ]

[sup, isley. SHE'LL LOSE, BUT -]

Is that so?

video; ^_^

[swordofthenorth]

It is, and I'd be more than happy to prove it to you.

[thenobledie]

I will be quite impressed if you can.

[swordofthenorth]

I must say, I'm a little insulted that you seem to think I won't be able to.

[thenobledie]

You are the one that made a challenge of it.

[she is just being difficult. rose uses only one hand, after all!]

[swordofthenorth]

[ Rose's rapier is designed for one-handed use; the swords he is more familiar with typically aren't. Nevertheless, his strength and skill dictate that he should have no difficulty wielding any sword one-handed. ]

I simply feel that an inaccurate statement such as the one you made should be proven wrong, and I'm not feeling objectionable to demonstrating myself.
