003 ~ [Action]

[distressedude]

[Amidst the arriving new feathers comes a boy who was certainly not new, but had also been recently kidnapped. Back from his first mallynapping, Ion has been unceremoniously dumped on the edge of the river in the north side of the village. He has just enough strength to pull himself ashore before rolling onto his back and staring up at the sky. Despite being exhausted and looking rather pale (moreso than usual), it seems as though he got off easy this time around.

He closes his eyes and fights to catch his breath, feeling rather disorientated at the moment.]

[That is very likely! Ion is still biting on his lip, his mind begging to just let him rest... but he wanted to at least be able to walk back!] A little. It's nothing I can't handle... f-for awhile.

[silversnowfall]

[there's no sense in beating around the bush with him. She's pretty sure Ion only looks childish]

I would prefer it if you could manage until we reached the house, but if you can't, it would be better for you to be honest about it.

[distressedude]

[Nephry had a point, and it was far more likely that Ion would just collapse on the way there anyway. As much as he didn't want to be any more of a burden, he nodded.] I... I'm sorry. I don't think I can walk. I-I can barely keep my eyes open... l-let alone move.

[silversnowfall]

Then you should sit back down and just rest.

[which she is now going to help him do]

[distressedude]

[He mumbles a small apology again as he's lowered back to the ground, immediately laying on his back and shutting his eyes with a sigh of relief. It was no wonder that he was so tired. Just using one Daathic Fonic arte tired him out; the Malnosso kept him using them off and on for days. That and his mun is mean.]

[silversnowfall]

[she's not going to up and leave him there. So she takes a seat beside him, wishing she's brought her journal - never mind that she took this walk to get away for a bit - and hoping someone else comes along, or Ion gets enough rest to continue]

[distressedude]

[Ion's wish to stay conscious seemed rather futile. The moment his eyes were closed everything seemed to disappear...]


[[ooc: Ion's pretty much out of it right now and probably won't get anywhere unless he's carried, or if Nephry waits with him for a good while. ; ; Do you want to wait for a thread-jump from someone walking by?]]

[silversnowfall]

[[ooc: It's up to you. We could try to merge with Kyle somehow, or just wait around.]]

[distressedude]

[[ooc: Well then, since Kyle already did run over and carry Ion back, merging with his posts would be easiest! Is there any reason Nephry might have left for the second it took for Ion to get carried back home? Like, to get help since it didn't look like Ion was going to wake back up?]]

[silversnowfall]

[[ooc: Sure! She would probably have gone home quickly to get her journal, in case she needed to get someone's attention]]

[distressedude]

[[ooc: Awesome! In that case, Kyle up there is just waiting inside the house (fff he broke in) until someone shows up so Ion isn't there by himself, while Ion is... sleeping. He's so exciting when he's worn out. 8D]]
