Comments

[swordofzero]

They are [He nodded] You worried Diarmuid though

[fionnuisce]

I'd imagine I did--I'll have to apologize for at least that much later, but I still think I did what I had to.

[swordofzero]

Necessary things are often not what we would chose. [Suzaku nodded again] Do you want any food? Or more water?

[fionnuisce]

Really, Suzaku, I'm alright. You don't have to worry so much--could you just tell me how long I passed out for?

[swordofzero]

I appologise. [He frowns as he thinks] An entire day, maybe a little longer.

[fionnuisce]

It's fine, you don't need to apologize either.

[Sigh.]

That explains why I feel like death warmed over, at least.

[swordofzero]

You look like it also. [He frowned] You should stay in bed and rest. There is nothing really happening at the moment, just discussion about what to do next. The units haven't came up this far, it's very quiet.

[fionnuisce]

They haven't yet, at least. Hopefully it'll stay that way. [Shrugging, Waver reached up to tie his hair back into place.]

I'm not intending to exert myself any more than I already have--much more strain on my circuits and I may not be getting up again.

[swordofzero]

Hopefully. Though they seem to be gathering there, so I doubt this reprieve will be for long.

[He nods, frowning again] Do you need anything?

[fionnuisce]

I'm alright. Thanks, but why does everyone I know insist on acting like a mother hen?

[swordofzero]

[That gets him a flat stare] You were injured, I know that your actions saved my life at least twice. The least I can do is help your recovery.

[fionnuisce]

I really do appreciate that, don't get me wrong. But I can take care of myself from here.

[swordofzero]

I know. [Suzaku frowned] But everyone needs help sometimes [There, the wisdom of Suzaku's twenty years, and it took most of those years for him to learn that lesson] And there is no shame in admitting it.
