Strange...[OPEN]

Characters: Elian Zigmarl and YOU
Setting: Infirmary
Time: Day after the Mousetrap Event
Summary: Comatose Elian is waking up after getting killed. It's also his day to have his collar maintained.
Warnings: Talks about death and pain while coping with failure.

With his collar now refreshed, Elian remained still. His eyes fluttered open. His head ached. It hurt to breathe. The youngest HOLY Alter user and clone had said nothing. His eyes looked up at the ceiling, contemplating what he was left with. Was it worth talking about what happened? He did something stupid. Of course not. It was a lesson learned.

[OOC: Really sorry about the earlier delete. ^^;]

He paused for a moment and listened. He thought on the scenarios and he couldn't think of any other explanation other than there was no wrong answer, just setbacks. He lifted his head off his knees to regard her with not only interest, but admiration. She was right. Sitting there and moping about it wasn't going to change anything.

The thought about Christmas cards did make him smile with a soft laugh. "I should get to work on my poetry."
reddeadvirtuoso: (Haha¸ cold and blood and...)

She could only assume that she had at least helped him feel a bit better; and really, that was about all she could do at this point. She wasn't a medic or anything, didn't have any fancy heal-y magic. If she couldn't already hear Eridan's voice yelling at her for it, she might have even thought to jump back in time to spare him the grief, but surely she had gotten over her destructive time travel phase.

The laugh does elicit a smile from her, however. "You could be a regular Shakespeare of our time. Got a rhyming dictionary stashed in your head somewhere?"
absolute_perception: (A little hard work never hurts.)

A simple nod, the truth was he had so many words in his head from just about any source and he kept it all straight was only a side-effect to his genetically engineered ability. It was a good thing he kept that part a secret from the scientists.

"I don't think I'll be as great as Shakespeare, but I appreciate the compliment." Just having a rad friend like Jade really helped.

Strangely, Elian felt grounded, awake and less like a fixture. "I uses to read a dictionary." Which was true.
reddeadvirtuoso: (Fuck. Fine¸ hold on.)

"You read a dictionary for fun?" Her tone sounds almost exasperated, though overdramatically so, compared to the normally bored or monotone voice she usually affects.

"Now I'm pretty sure when your cozies up in front of the fire place to open the newest edition of webster, that may be grounds for neglect. Just sayin'."

He let out a laugh that made him nearly double over. "I was three years old when I read the dictionary. They didn't exactly have a lot of fiction books at the lab."

His laughter quieted some to a more nostalgic expression. "The conversations I had back then were relatively random. I didn't know how to put things in context very well. The expressions I gained made me realize that humans were fascinating and I wanted to learn more. I guess that's why he took an interest in me the way he had."

Just knowing that he was different at such an early age, aside from the abusive experiments and the grueling loneliness of isolation, he learned a lot more than the scientists originally thought which gave him a supreme advantage as an observer.
reddeadvirtuoso: (You're ready to take a permanent nap.)

"Booooriiiiinnnnggggg." Simple enough. When Jade was little she was already wasting her time in front of the TV like a pro.

"You sound like some kind of sci-fi alien, not gonna lie. Cool to know that the whole 'humans are fascinating' thing will cut some of us a break at least."
absolute_perception: (Are you okay?)

His face turned a little red from embarrassment. He really didn't think it was that big of an issue until she mentioned it which really put him on the spot. Now quiet, he draws his knees up to his chest and with his fingertip, he made small circles in the wrinkles.

"Sorry."

He was still getting used to things around him and the more he was exposed to it, the more he began to see just how many holes he had in his walls to fill. Patch one up, and another is exposed. It was a never ending cycle it seemed.

She sits up properly-- well, sort of properly, she's not leaning anymore, but her posture is crap so she's still slouching forward a bit-- to stare at him for a moment. And another moment. And then she lets out the most overdramatically exasperated sigh, throw her arms into the air, and droops over on her stool.

"Man, all you cats around here apologize too much. Loosen up, bro!"
