Comments

[discardia]

[ No, she kind of has to mind that??

Don't mind her also crouching to touch his shoulder??? ]

Belph?

[axilium]

[he looks at her, before he smiles weakly.]

Ah, Cardia. How can I help you?

[discardia]

I was going to ask you the same thing. Does your head hurt?

[axilium]

[he waves a hand.]

I'll be fine!

[discardia]

You were crouched on the ground in pain.

[axilium]

I definitely was not.

[discardia]

What happened to your head? Was it the fire they mentioned?

[axilium]

.. Breathing in smoke is not a lot of fun?

[discardia]

... I can help you go outside. Maybe fresh air will help.

[axilium]

You really don't need to do that.

[discardia]

I'd like to.

[axilium]

... All right, fine.

[he's too tired to protest this.]

[discardia]

[ She'll offer him her hand, then. Come, good sir. ]

[axilium]

... I can walk, ma'am.

[discardia]

Just to make sure you don't have any problems.

[axilium]

Still really not necessary. How about you just catch me if I fall?

[discardia]

So don't hold onto you, but stick that close?

[axilium]

Yes, exactly.

[cough]

[discardia]

... All right. Lead the way.

[axilium]

[his head still hurts, but he's going to pretend it doesn't as he starts heading outside!! thankfully, it's not as bad as it could be, so he doesn't like he's about to keel over, at least.]

[discardia]

[ she'll be keeping an eye on him, just in case. But hopefully the air helps. ]

How are you feeling...?

[axilium]

[...

well, he's going to collapse, but spoilers, he's faking it.]

[discardia]

Belph?!

[ guess who doesn't know that. ]

[axilium]

[... okay, this feels too mean when she's that concerned.]

I'm fine, I'm fine!
