Roxas' Return

[heartismyown]

[On the back of the mighty and majestic dragon Toothless, Roxas is flown back to their ship. His appearance is a bit shocking because he's splattered in blood in more than one place, however he gets off the back of the dragon himself, standing on his own two feet.

He's a little tired looking and worse for wear with a distinct smell of smoke to his clothes and himself, but he's alive and alert. He looks a little sheepish for having to be rescued.]

[youhearthebells]

[captain's had his eye on the sky this whole time. And while he does need to also give the rescuers a big pat on the back for coming through for them all, Gan Ning also needs to see to Roxas for his own sanity.

You know, after others have had their turn.]

Hey. You okay, kiddo?

[heartismyown]

[He nods a little bit.]

Yeah, I'm okay.

[By his definition, anyway.]

[youhearthebells]

You sure? Need anything? A drink, a bandage, you name it.

[looking him over with his hands on his hips. That's a lot of blood, there. Is any of it his?]

[heartismyown]

[He seems to think it over but reaches his conclusion with a small shrug.]

I don't know. I think I'm okay.

[Some of it is his own blood, but it's hard to tell which of it is his and which is from the attacks he launched. Roxas hasn't given it much thought, honestly.]

[youhearthebells]

All right. Well, take it easy. Rest up, and if you got cut up or anything, get it looked at. Cynthia or somebody should have somethin' to get you cleaned up.

[he looks a little worried, but he's inclined to let Roxas take care of himself. Besides, Lea can take care of him much better than he]

[heartismyown]

Okay, I'll try and remember that.

[He shuffles his feet a little.]

Sorry I caused you so much trouble.

[youhearthebells]

Nah, it's okay.

[he sets a hand on Roxas' shoulder, not too heavily in case he is actually hurt]

I'm just sorry we didn't get the info, that you'd been captured. We'd have stormed that base lookin' for ya, you know. You kinda saved us the trouble, but. Still.

[heartismyown]

[He shakes his head a little.]

It's my fault I got captured. I didn't have a way out. I should have thought of that. It won't happen again.

[youhearthebells]

Don't beat yourself up too bad, though. Things happen. That's what you got a crew for, to come after ya when you get into a mess. [he thumbs over his shoulder in a vague sense of 'where the others are.'] They all came for me when I got caught, and I'd do the same for anyone on this boat. I ain't about to repay that trust by leavin' anyone behind.

[heartismyown]

[He looks at Gan Ning, eyes a little wide.]

Well, um....

[He's a bit flustered and unsure what to say.]

Thank you.

[youhearthebells]

[gives him a pat and lets him go]

Now, go show Lea you're still in one piece. We'll all go hang out on the Tartle tomorrow, all right?

[heartismyown]

Okay.

[Roxas nods and rubs an eye.]

Tomorrow then!

[by_heart]

[Lea, true to form, is hanging back and leaning on a rail, trying to look nonchalant. He hasn't let anyone see how worried and lost he's been so far and he's not about to start now.]

[heartismyown]

[Roxas goes over to him and offers a little smile.]

Hey Lea. I'm back.

[by_heart]

Hey yourself.

[Lea pushes off the rail and ruffles Roxas' hair, feeling an overwhelming sense of relief once he has those soft spikes under his hand again. He'd resigned himself to it all being over, just as he had when Roxas had been poisoned, but now it's like everything is falling back into place and one of the big gaping holes in his life is filled again. It's stupid and sentimental, but it's true.]

[heartismyown]

You're gonna mess up my hair.

[He gives a lighthearted complaint, but doesn't stop Lea from doing it. He steps forward though and leans against him slightly.]

[by_heart]

How's anyone supposed to be able to tell if it's messed up or not?

[Lea messes it up further and if that means he has to step a little forward himself, well, that's just how it's going to have to be done.]

[heartismyown]

[Roxas settles on snaking his arms around Lea for a moment but he doesn't squeeze, he grimaces with a little hiss.]

You're always messing it up.

[by_heart]

You can't blame that on me. It always looks like that. More importantly...

[He thought Roxas was moving a little gingerly. That he's not attacking him with affection is a definite indication that something's up.]

You're hurt, aren't you?

[heartismyown]

[He nods a little bit.]

A little. I can still fight though if I have to. It's not too bad, really.

[by_heart]

Uh huh, sure. Right abooooout...

[It's got to be his arm or his side. Somewhere around there. Lea points at Roxas, tracing a line in the air and threatening to poke at what look like probable spots, just waiting for a reaction.]

[heartismyown]

[There's no way that someone who has to be as amazing at poker as Roxas would be would fall for a trick like that.

This was why Roxas totally did not flinch when Lea hovered his fingers over his right shoulder. He also did not take a small step back to avoid Lea's fingers.]

[by_heart]

Bingo.

[Lea's finger stops right at his right shoulder.]

You need to go get cleaned up so we can cover you in bandages, tough guy. Head to toe. Like a mummy. Now move it.

[heartismyown]

I don't need to be like a mummy!

[Roxas rolls his eyes a little and nods.]

Fine, I'm going to wash up then.
