post-dungeon regroup

[discutio]

[Obviously, they had to pull back and recover; Phoenix thought it would be best to head to the pseudo-headquarters in Invidia and settle back into the mansion to recover as well as consolidate what they all knew. There was a lot to get through, and a lot of recovery to be done by some of them. He'd need to talk to Etoile, thank Ariel, thank Medic again--]

[...But for now, he just about immediately collapsed on a couch and decided he would exist there for a while. You're on your own for food this time, kids.]

Goddess, I had completely forgotten Medic had to re-attach your hand.

[ what the actual godsdamn fuck ]

[discutio]

It's fine, Achilles. That was the only real time she managed to hit me, and it barely even hurts anymore.

[twibeast]

[ He might now be giving a wary glance at the hand that had previously been brushing against his face. Does he remember which hand was cut off? Of course not. Is he now wondering if he just held a hand that was severed on the floor just an hour or so ago? Yes.

Not that that's a problem but he's still thinking about it.

He sighs. ]

I suppose we should just count our blessings that such an injury somehow hadn't happened to any of us before. And that it was fixable.

[discutio]

[for god's sake achilles do you want to smooch or don't you]

We were lucky on several fronts. I don't expect such fortune to hold out, so we'll need to be exceptionally careful from here on out.

[twibeast]

[ HE DOES BUT STILL!! ]

Mmm...

At least now we know what we're really up against. And who to look out for.

[ And also who to Fuck Up ]

[discutio]

We'll find some way to manage. Right now all that matters is putting ourselves back together and preparing ourselves to keep going.

[twibeast]

Indeed.

[ He finds himself now brushing his fingers against Phoenix's bangs ]

Speaking of... I fear I have kept you up a bit too long. You should sleep, dear.

[discutio]

Hm...perhaps. You don't mind staying here for a bit longer, do you?

[twibeast]

Of course not. I would have not offered my lap if I wasn't prepared to be here for the long haul.

I'll stay like the most devout of guard dogs.

[discutio]

I'll entrust you with my safety, then.

[yeah spoilers he's running on fumes so he'll be out cold for a bit.]

[twibeast]

[ THAT'S OKAY because spoilers he's also pretty tired after all the fighting and emotional distress so despite what he said he uh

is also going to be out cold after, some time after Phoenix. just pass out sitting up nbd.

dads can have a little nap to end the thread it fine ]
