emily will find a better place to fall asleep


Who: Princess Natalia
What: Set a day after this post.
When: All day, basically throughout the week. Just pick a time and date!
Summary: She had been hurt. Badly. Today she opened her eyes.
--

When she awoke she could not speak. She opened her mouth but no words came. When she tried to get up, tried to move her legs, she found she could not. There was nothing Natalia hated more than being unable to move, let alone speak. And yet this is what the Malnosso had dealt her.

I suppose I spoke too much. However I do not regret my decisions. These horrible scientists have done too much. I would raise my voice again.

It's easy for her to say, but now, still in her bloodstained shift and bandages around her neck but that doesn't mean words will come.

Her breathing hitches and with it a dagger of pain, as Natalia stares blankly up at the cieling. Would that she could speak. There was nothing but silence now, and pain--numbness. She had never been so tired before.

[At some point after bringing her back to the house, Asch has set himself up as an unofficial window guardian, lurking outside the glass and leaning up against the wall, arms crossed, a quiet sentry just in case. The threats within the village are nothing compared to what she must have experienced with the Malnosso, but even so, he's not taking any chances. As long as he can be there, she'll be protected.

He's... not really the best with silent visitations, and she has plenty of housemates to disturb and check in on her, so he's trying to do what he can for her without being a bother. Or an awkward guest.]

[Luke's on his way to visit her once more, and - he's seen Asch outside on occasion, and thought that maybe he ought to bring him inside with Natalia, but his mind would be distracted at that point. By talking to Natalia - well, him doing the talking and her reacting to him.

But now, he seems to focus on Asch. He slows down his pace once he sees him by the window, then stops. And after a few seconds, he takes a few steps toward him to go to him.]


Hey, Asch. [He doesn't expect much of a reply, so he'll just get straight to the point.] Do you want go to talk to Natalia with me?

[Asch glances sidelong at Luke, lifting a brow. Visit Natalia? Together? Why would he ever think that could be a good idea?]

I'm better off out here.

[He's not comfortable in that house, okay.]

Maybe you are, but I think Natalia wants to see you. [Yeah Asch he's going to just take your elbow and lead you to the door.] Come on!

[Wh- shit, he doesn't want to just- rrrgh, replica, you are really obnoxious, you know that? And Asch can't even raise a big stink about it, because too much noise will only bother Natalia.

So he just glowers at his replica, very reluctantly allowing himself to be prodded into the house and over to Natalia's room.

Have a couple of redheads, princess.]
fabrecation: (Even one smile can make a difference)

[See Asch, look at her face. Look at that smile. That's all for you, man.

At least, that's what the raise of Luke's eyebrow and his own smile seems to say.

After a moment, though, he seems to realize what Natalia's searching for, and he looks around himself. Where is - Ah, there we go. Why was it on the floor? Regardless, he'll stride over to pick up the notebook and pen, then hand it to her while still kneeling.]


Here, Natalia.

[Shut up, replica, she's smiling at you, too. Asch watches her for a moment, then looks away somewhat awkwardly, focusing on the wall closest to the bed, his arms crossing over his chest. Someday he'll be good at this. Someday, surely.

...Yep. Today is not that day.]

May 12th!

[Sometimes it felt as though no one was allowed more than a few days of respite in this place. Natalia probably hasn't seen too much of Ion these past few days, and not only because she's been on bedrest. He's spent the past two weeks fighting a rather nasty bug of his own, and the last thing he wanted to so was give it to Natalia when she was already dealing with so much pain...]

[Today, he's feeling well enough to venture outside a bit, opening the front door for a bit of fresh air -- and that's when he finds Natalia sitting on the porch.]


Natalia?
distressedude: (I'm a pretty cool guy.)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-05-16 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
[He can't help but return that smile, moving over to where she's sitting and leaning against the porch railing.]

I'm glad to see you up and out of bed. [Even if she probably didn't walk out here on her own, it was still an improvement.] Have you been feeling any better from these past few days?
