2nd Mission

[tempus_scorpius]

Characters: Rolo Lamperouge and YOU
Setting: 7th floor (Swimming pool),14th Floor (Media/game room), 28th Floor (Music room),
Format: Both are fine. I'll follow.
Summary: Rolo's just wandering around the tower, feeling rather bored.
Warnings: He won't bite unless provoked.

[7th Floor (Swimming pool)]
It was a spur of the moment thing really. Killing monsters gets rather boring after a while and Lelouch hasn't given him anything specific to do, so here Rolo is at the swimming pool. He examines it for a bit then decides to go for a swim after finding suitable swimwear in the lockers. Anyway, he had to keep himself in top condition for whatever might happen next. He's now quietly doing laps round the pool, concentrating on nothing but his own movements.

[14th Floor (Media/Game room)]
After his swim, Rolo ends up in media/game room. Once again, he examines everything in the room carefully. It's a force of habit from all his training. He just won't take unnecessary risks. Then he settles on a shooting game which he goes through rather mechanically with his perfect aim. He doesn't understand how this is fun. However, it feels somehow reassuring to be given an objective and a mission so he continues 'playing'.

[28th Floor (Music room)]
Finally, Rolo make his way to the music room. He is somehow drawn to one of the pianos and runs his fingers over the keys. During that year of fake memories, his older brother had taught him how to play a bit. He wonders if Lelouch would continue teaching him if he asked. Should he ask?

After a long pause, he sits down and starts playing some very simple tunes rather hesitantly. Somehow he feels a little happy.

Rolo just stands there staring in shock for a long moment before he dives straight into the water to retrieve her.

He manages to bring her back to the surface and rather carefully lifts her up onto the side of the pool. Then he heaves himself up and pats her face a bit. "Hey! Hey, can you hear me?"

[carrythesin]

Her finger flexes with a cough following. She slowly opens her eyes then quickly shuts because of her temporary blur vision. She begins trying to fight her way on lifting herself up despite the blood on the side of her head. Sorry Rolo, she isn't used to asking for help.

[tempus_scorpius]

He frowns at that and holds her down firmly but gently. "Stay down. You've hurt your head. How do you feel? Can you see properly?"

so very late it hurts

[carrythesin]

After Rolo has set her back down, she looked up with dazed eyes. She leaned her head back ignoring the throb. "A little..." Great, now she was about to be a pain to him.

[tempus_scorpius]

He studies her reactions. "Stay here and don't move. I'll take you to the infirmary but I need to put on some clothes first."

[carrythesin]

She nodded before he would leave.

[tempus_scorpius]

Rolo dressed and returned quickly with a towel for her. He wrapped the towel around her. "I'm going to lift you up now." He hoped he was strong enough to.

[carrythesin]

She's pretty light so lifting is no problem. Wrapping a towel around her? Usually she's used to walking with someone next to her, not being picked up. "I can walk..."

[tempus_scorpius]

He frowned. "You have a concussion. Walking might make it worse."

[carrythesin]

Kirika frowned as well then nodded. Oh well, time to be picked up.

[tempus_scorpius]

Rolo started scooping her up into his arms and stood up slowly. "Put your arms round my neck."

[carrythesin]

And she does so, slowly. She's not used to this okay?

[tempus_scorpius]

He isn't either. He usually leaves people to die... This is new for him too. "Hold on tight. I'm going down the stairs now."

He descends carefully, shifting her weight a bit so he doesn't lose his balance.

[carrythesin]

She's not doing much on this end, except holding on.

[tempus_scorpius]

And he makes it to the infirmary eventually... His arms are kind of aching though as he puts her down on one of the beds. "I'll go look for someone to treat your wounds. Don't go anywhere."

[carrythesin]

After she was set down, she looked up to him then signed as she looked away. "I won't."

[tempus_scorpius]

Rolo nodded and went off to look for a drone to help. He was soon back with one to treat her wounds. He just stands back to watch.

[carrythesin]

In the meantime she'll just lay here and let the drone do his work. Her eyes are wide open making sure not to miss a single action from this drone. She's used to treating wounds herself okay?

[tempus_scorpius]

He comes back over when the drone is done.

"How do you feel now?"

[carrythesin]

Kirika is laying on the bed with a bandage around her head. She gives a nod.

[tempus_scorpius]

He studies her for a moment.

"Well, you be alright by yourself now?"

[carrythesin]

Another nod here.

"Sorry I was a pain. Thanks..."

[tempus_scorpius]

He shakes his head.

"No. You weren't a pain."
