lunarborn[After the events of the previous week, the mature thing to do would have been to would have been to take the awkward stares and deliver his humble apologies like a man. Yet after spending a week steeped in the most negative emotions he'd indulged in even the darkest of fantasies, it was easier to keep to himself.
He'd been spending quite a bit of time along the southeastern banks of the river running outside the village, staying outdoors to avoid the all-encompassing yet entirely oppressive forgiveness that awaited him at home. He would make amends and pay his dues in time, but for now, there was still the matter of coping with what was within him that the experiment had tapped to affect his actions.
The man lying faceup on the riverbank would still be visibly bruised despite sharing living space with a mage proficient in the healing arts. He'd been grateful to have been pulled from the precipice of death, yes, but wished to let the tender achy muscles, dark bruises, and angry gashes heal on their own as penance. It was in this way that he watched the sky begin to darken, chronicling the sun's slow journey towards rest.]

Date: 2009-07-03 02:45 am (UTC)At least we can show him that we care, and are around if he needs or wants us. You know he won't say it, but he doesn't always want to be alone....

Date: 2009-07-03 05:27 am (UTC)He endured her hug patiently.] If he seeks solitude, his wishes ought to be respected. It is his decision alone. All we can do is support him upon his return.

Date: 2009-07-03 05:51 am (UTC)He can't always be left alone to brood, too much of that isn't good for him. Everyone needs balance. Besides, I think he's used to me checking on him.

Date: 2009-07-03 06:12 pm (UTC)No, you don't! Weren't you listening? This is Their fault! Besides, we need you. What if there was an emergency? If you insist on penance, then let yourself be healed and go train so that you can help us defend this place more effectively.

Date: 2009-07-04 03:51 am (UTC)If there is an emergency, I can heal myself. [With his ghetto toddler-level Curas that could barely cure a papercut under Luceti's power dampeners. INDEPENDENCE!]

Date: 2009-07-04 06:25 am (UTC)Cecil...you've accomplished so much and you know I think highly of your abilities, but no one is immune to this place. They're more powerful than anything we've faced, enough to enslave people equal to our power and possibly beyond. I'm not saying we should just accept that -ever- but it's something we have to keep in mind until we can find a way to stop it.
[Her common sense tone lasted that long, and then Rydia's shoulders slumped. Sniffle.]
Please, Cecil. Don't think you have to do everything yourself.

Date: 2009-07-04 06:32 pm (UTC)I...it's been a long week. But please, don't do this to yourself. Be healed.

Date: 2009-07-05 02:32 am (UTC)[Later, perhaps he would thank her for bringing sense to a nonsensical demand. But at the moment, Cecil's brain was awhirl with the reddened eyes and faint sniffles of Rydia's sadness. Anything to indulge her, even if it didn't make complete sense to him at the moment.] I understand. My apologies for acting so selfishly. Do as you will.

[Her voice was a little watery there, so she coughed and tried again.]
That's as much as I can do....

Date: 2009-07-05 06:34 pm (UTC)I told you, spirit magic. I'm all right, really. It's more that I haven't slept well the past few days than anything else. You will consider what I've said?

Date: 2009-07-06 08:57 pm (UTC)I shall. Promise me you'll rest properly.

Date: 2009-07-07 06:17 pm (UTC)I will, promise.
