{This feed today is brought to you by Ghostly Balloons Inc, and showcases a lovely sunlight-filled room, with a daybed positioned near the open windows, where a faint breeze ruffles the curtains gently. As Drifloon-san is blown gently to the other side of the room, the figures lying on the bed comes into focus.}

It must be a wonderfully sunny day, hey, Shinrai? {It's none other than Nanao, who looks a heck of a lot better than she did last time she appeared on the network, although she's still wrapped in bandages, not least including her eyes, which are still covered, and her sling-clad left arm. Her right hand is resting on a strange stone, fingers smoothing over the slick surface.}

Riolu!

You said it, little one. {She laughs a little, and scritches gently behind his ears. For his part, Shinrai still has bandages around his middle, but he sounds happy.}

Souji-san sure is nice to let us stay here while we recover, isn't he? {Sigh} I do hate to be an imposition, but -

{Her sentence is cut off by the sudden arrival of a Ralts, glowing faintly white in the sunshine - but then it moves into the shade, and it's clear that this particular glow is that of ~evolutionnnn~ and boy, does Nanao sound surprised.}

Ikka?! What are you doing - are you evolving? {Shinrai levers himself upright, and the glow brightens, and Ikka's silhouette changes from that of a Ralts to something a fair sight taller.}

Kirrr! {He spins in place twice, before he minces over, and picks up the Dawn Stone, immediately triggering his second evolution. Nanao protests feebly, but she can but wait as the glow brightens to painful levels, and Ikka's body grows and shifts, until the glow fades again, and a Gallade stands next to the daybed.}

Wh-why? What made you do this? {Nanao sounds more confused than shocked.} I thought you wanted to wait -

Galla. Gallade. {He reaches over, and brushes a lock of hair away from her forehead, and Nanao's mouth forms an "o"}

O-oh. You want to protect me - {And the Drifloon drops the 'Gear, ending the transmission.}

{ooc: Nanao is laid up in the Breeding Centre, but is pretty much bedbound for the characters in residence there. She will however be responding to all 'Gear replies! ...after the Drifloon picks it up from behind the cupboard.}

Well I'm glad you did disagree, and that you had the training to back it up.

Why were you traveling alone anyway?

One hundred years of fighting, and I've never had to do anything like that before.

I wasn't. I had my Pokemon with me. {Pedanticcc}

Still, better than having never fought at all like other people here.

[Frowning at her now.] And they couldn't fight the Scyther?

Exactly.

{Turning her head away.} I didn't have them with me at the time. It was simply just me and Shinrai.

Are you trying to get killed? [When Envy worries about his people, he gets snappish, sorry Nanao.]

Not intentionally!

{And resting her head in her hands oh man she feels bad.}

'm sorry.

[And doubletake at that apology, complete with slightly embarrassed frowning. He can't be mad at you when you're apologizing to him and acting guilty dammit Nanao.]

Well...at least you're still alive.

[He sighs, frustrated, and rubs at the bridge of his nose.] I don't want you to die on me too.

That's always something, I guess.

{And looking back up at the camera.}

Hey. I'm already dead. I don't think I can die again.

[Envy narrows his eyes, snapping.]

Yeah, might've said that about the other homunculi once. And now they're all gone, will be soon, or worse.

{Recoiling.}

Hey! I'm not a homunculus - and I know for a fact that I survive the worst war that the three worlds have ever seen. I'm not going to leave, Envy!

[He doesn't notice her recoil, he's too busy lashing out, his voice getting louder.]

Everyone leaves!

{Yelling at him now.}

I won't!

Envy, I'm not going to leave you!

Edited 2011-09-26 11:12 (UTC)

[Envy does hesitate, for an instant, eyes widening. Nanao's words are something that Envy needs to hear badly, has craved hearing his entire life, but he can't bring himself to accept them. He's too angry, too worried, too damaged, too afraid to be hurt again, too everything right now. He wants what she's offering so terribly but can't let himself have it, so it just hurts. And, as he always has, Envy protects himself with more anger.]

You don't know that!

I'm stuck in a bed, I cannot physically move without pain - I am going absolutely nowhere and I will literally fight you if you keep being ridiculous like this!

{And panting, because ow fuck she shouldn't be yelling like this when she's still injured.}

I've told you once, but I'll keep telling you if it won't get through your skull. You're family. I do not abandon my family. Not now, not ever.

Please. Believe me. I cannot see you but I know you're scared - but just trust me. I beg of you, please trust me when I say I'm not leaving.
