yes
carried as far as i could
dragged the rest
bandaged your knee but the shoulders are still bad
dont do anything stupid

[somatosensory]

( he certainly feels like she dragged him halfway across a cursed desert. )

I don't think I'm going to be doing much of anything for a while.

( he's done what he can, of course, but he's drained, and his chest still feels like someone's packed it full of feathers and razorwire.

more than this, though, is the fact that he has no idea how to deal with this. her. with the fact that she did that rather than left him for dead. it would have made things simpler for her, surely? )

[telepathy]

[ she really should point him towards kaito and his ability to shield some of his thoughts and feelings, at some point. they'd both benefit. she sighs, shifting the phone to one hand as she hands some coins over to pay for food for them both. ]

you won
i wasnt going to leave you for dead
did you really think i was going to violate the terms of the challenge
when i get back cant you just do for yourself what you did for me

[somatosensory]

Eventually, maybe.
Once I've eaten.
Rested a little more.

( the problem with never getting sick is that your sense for these things is diminished. right now all he knows is he feels like he was chewed on by one of the lynxes. )

I must've done an ok job if you could drag me back here, though.
Any problems?

[telepathy]

you slept 18 hours already

[ this she presents as a problem in its own regard ]

[somatosensory]

You counted?

[telepathy]

i thought you might be dead

[somatosensory]

You did get me good a couple times.

[telepathy]

not the first time
do you need anything else
other than food

[somatosensory]

First time with a knife like that.

Don't think so.
Ankle will give me the most trouble, so that's what I'll focus on.
How's your neck look?

[telepathy]

fine

[ she's certainly in better shape than he is, now. no reason to worry. ]

[somatosensory]

I'm going to check.

[telepathy]

worry about yourself

[somatosensory]

I am, that's why I'm checking.

[telepathy]

what?

[somatosensory]

You're my partner.

( does she not know how this works? )

[telepathy]

[ oh. ]

it's just a mark

[ one that she is touching now, food bang slung around her wrist. the air is cold but her skin feels warmer, now, especially in her face. ]

[somatosensory]

And this harvest curse thing is just a bad cough.

I'm still checking.

[telepathy]

hanahaki

[somatosensory]

What?

[telepathy]

thats what people said it is
a legend on earth


lovesickness

[somatosensory]

( huh. )

Is there a cure?

[telepathy]

not that ive heard of

[somatosensory]

Shit.

[telepathy]

i have an oil that helps

[ it doesn't make it better, but it makes it more tolerable. the dizziness and disorientation are the worst of it, in that way. ]
