You find yourself floating in a black space. You can’t even see your hands in front of you, if you’re even able to lift them, that is. You’re incredibly tired and the poison is starting to actually take a toll; your whole body hurts and you just want to sleep. It’ll feel like it takes hours, but after a few minutes the darkness is slowly lifting as if dawn is breaking. What you see is a horizon with clouds and a sun rising from the surface of… water?

Suddenly, gravity decides you exist again, and you’re rather rudely dropped… a few inches to the ground. (ground?). Below you is a soft cushion of grass and sand. You’re at a beach stretching out far in both directions. Behind you is a large and lush forest. There’s even a vanship in the background, the metal frames glinting weakly in the dim light.

And you’re not the only ones around. All around you are fireflies, thousands upon thousands of small glowing insects, darting this way and that. They mingle with the light from the sun, taking turns illuminating your surroundings. As the sunlight grows brighter, the fireflies seem to disappear, all flying towards a certain point close to your location, only to gather into a form that eventually turns out to be Castling, who promptly sits down in the grass in surprise when he sees you. He still looks injured, bloody and weary, but his eyes are clear.

[ That drop gets another pretty prominent wince out of him when it jars his wound slightly.

But once he sees Castling, he looks into his eyes and

beelines right over to him, bleeding be damned. ]

Rook—

[no, wait. he beats you to the punch and just. pulls you into a hug as you come close enough]

[ Oh......

Shit, hugging him back tightly with both arms. Sorry he's bleeding on you more as a result, but after all that there's something particularly comforting about this place, and that hug. ]

[... I don't care about blood, I'm bloody too, nevermind that. the only thing that is important right now is... that he can actually feel that you're there.

and this place is serene and calm, and Castling is curling his fingers in the fabric of your ruined shirt. :<]

[ Keeping his arms around him, but leaning back to look him in the eye again. Though he can't hide another wince when he does so. ]

--You're okay now?

[leans back too to make it easier for you to look at him]

. . . aah. I will be fine. The intruder is gone.

[ He'll feel Rook relax just a little when he says that. Just a little!! Like some of the worry is melting off of him. ]

Good ... good.

Sorry, though. For having to intrude.

[;; that's good. he takes a deep breath]

... you ... could never intrude. Dio.

Sure I could. This is your heart, so being inside of it like this is an intrusion, since I know you didn't exactly agree to all this, despite it being the only way.

[shakes his head]

I... am glad you are here.

[YOU'RE ALWAYS HERE, TBH]

Well, it seems that we helped, in any case. ... But, I promised you that I would.

I feel a lot better, thanks to it. It... is strange, but I am happy for it.

Why is it strange?

Showing my true feelings...

[he looks down again]

It is difficult.

It doesn't have to be in here. Outside, either, but ... especially in here, because this is you.

[yeah, bloody and tired and slightly traumatized? no but, jk. he smiles vaguely, letting tension drain out of him as he slumps forward just a tiny bit]

Aah. It is.

[ Slumps back against him a little, holding each other up is a go. ]

This place is nice.

[oh... ._. a jolt of feelings go through him at that jkdjgf]

That is good.

And really pretty, too. It seems ... special.

So I won't disturb it for long, so you can get some rest here.

This... is the core.

[he doesn't really want you to leave, but at the same time, it's very very private. then again...

feelings are overwhelming okay]

Edited 2014-06-17 16:29 (UTC)

[ Can I

make out with you in here a little. ]

[... yes. yes you can]

[ Okay doing that then. ]

[sjkdjgfk yeah okay in here, you'll... get more of a response than otherwise. because... well. y'know.

carefully pulls a hand into your hair as in the icon]
