[our BOYS.

anyway. hi cloud. emet-selch is coming to check in on him later, after he's had some time to recover and possibly be fussed over.]

-Cloud. Are you well?

[skyagain]

[ everything is at least healed closed, and cloud's since switched back to loose clothes that mostly cover it up, but he looks fine. a lot tired, but he raises his good arm at emet-selch wherever the fuck he is ]

Mmm. [ it's a vague noise and he blinks slowly before he shakes his head ] Alright. Yeah.

[ he's been better but he can walk so he is Fine ]

[ktiseos]

Do not speak too much, I won't ask you all the details. Jason mentioned something of it, already-- some manner of corruption?

[he's watching him with his brow furrowed. don't push it with the speaking.]

[skyagain]

[ he makes a face a little annoyed, but he waves it off ]

Mm. Jay and Bradley. Stalled 'em while Sebastian fixed it.

[ which explains why sebastian is physically alright? at least? ]

[ktiseos]

...good. I doubt he could have handled either of them, even if only to try to escape.

[thanks for saving the twink...]

[skyagain]

[ well, that's true, and the head nod cloud says is very much "yea", but: ]

Wouldn't say the fix was easy to get, either.

[ it's pensive, but he shrugs a shoulder. sometimes maybe you traumatize a twink so they don't get physically injured ]

[ktiseos]

-what was it, then?

[what happened to this child "he's a teen" anyone below like 25 is a child to emet]

[skyagain]

[ cloud is 21, please, and he opens his mouth and then closes it. hmm. ]

... Someone else had to die for it. Willing, but.

[ we taught our twink how to ~*murder*~ ]

[ktiseos]

Someone what?!

[HELLO?]

[skyagain]

Not us. [ hm. a belated specification ] Some... guy.

[ he says it like he realizes the full explanation would be too long for his doctor's orders ]

[ktiseos]

...ah. Well-- at least he was willing, I suppose.

[he is immediately less concerned.]

[skyagain]

Mm. Seb'll get over it.

[ sebastian's name has too many fucking syllables, he'll go back to no nicknames later. also cloud truly like it's fine, sometimes you kill people, ]

[ktiseos]

I have my doubts about that, but there isn't exactly an alternative.

[he's going to have to deal with it...]

[skyagain]

[ he truly has a moment of IT'S JUST MURDER before he remembers some people are normal and he kind of makes a noise of agreement. rip sebastian ]

S'about it.

[ktiseos]

...mm. Very well. I will ask you again when you are more capable of speaking.

For now, is there anything you require?

[skyagain]

[ an immediate: ]

A break.

[ktiseos]

Would that I could provide that for any of us. I think all of us deserve it, at this point.

[skyagain]

[ there's a tired almost smile at the joke, but he shakes his head. very minutely. neck. ]

...I'll be alright. Just... [ gestures at his throat with an annoyed face. the rest he can DEAL but the neck SUCKS ]

[ktiseos]

The healing could stand to be more extensive, really.

[he exhales a huff, there.]

[skyagain]

Not Gemini's fault. [ it sounds reflexive and he frowns at himself before waving his hand ] Just... their limitations.

[ktiseos]

I know they are restricted in what they may do, but when it is limited to begin with... one would hope you could be left in better condition.

[skyagain]

S'fine. Can always ask for a second one.

[ he won't! but he could. ]

[ktiseos]

Or someone else will do so for you.

[he won't be surprised if cloud doesn't, okay.]

[skyagain]

... Don't have to.

[ the idea makes him >:T ]

[ktiseos]

Surely you do not expect you will be left alone? Enough seem to care for you.
