7th rise of the phoenix ஜ Voice / Action for Spades
[His voice is heavy and a bit hoarse but still easy to understand. He has yet to hit the bottle today, but it won't take him much longer to do so.]
Soon it will be September again. Hn, when people started to vanish I thought there would be only a few of us left to see a second autumn in this world.
[Of course, that refers only to those who were the first to arrive to this world. Unfortunately he never doubted that there would still be a lot of people trapped, just... Not the same people for so long.]
Have any of you changed since you arrived here? No matter how long you have been here... Ever wonder what your people would think of you if they saw you here?

Even if they haven't done anything to her, which we both know won't be the case, Leanne is going to be in an awful shape. She's too sensible to those things and whatever we do, the rescue won't be something peaceful and smooth. And I'm sure that after that we will return to Deesuko which... Isn't very good for her either.
So I suppose that sooner or later, we will have to visit Serenes for her to recover. And I'm not going to go anywhere close to that island ever again.
[His hand finds her head again, caressing it once more.]
Serenes is good for the rest of you. Well, minus Thatch and Namur, Marco doesn't like it that much either but all of them seem more able to deal with it than me. So going off alone is the best option.
[Though he has no idea where he will go, he will decide that when he's sober and time to do it.]
no subject
Serenes would be best for her. But you could just go somewhere else while we're there...
*She seems somewhat soothed with his hand on her head again*
Maybe...you could stay in that volcano and I'll just let you know when we're leaving Serenes, and you can come back?
no subject
[It's not just about Leanne though, sure, she's the main reason, but not the only one. He doesn't expect the fights they are going to have to be anything smooth and he fears in what state they might find the others, they won't be dead but... Sometimes that can be worse than just finding them in a pile of corpses. So he expects it all to take a toll on them all, specially Selphie, and Serenes should be enough to help heal them a little.]
We will be in contact too. Anyway, that won't happen till much later so no need to worry about it now, right?
no subject
*She smiles softly and rests her head ever so slightly against his shoulder, blinking up at the sky and trying to ignore all those various horrible thoughts running through her mind*
no subject
[He hums as she rests her head against his shoulder, shifting to let his hand fall from her head and wrap around her waist for a more comfortable position and an easier way for her to rest there.]
I would ask you to come, but with what we may be going to fight off to get back the rest I think a visit to Serenes will do you also a lot of good. I'll let you know if I find anything interesting, deal?
no subject
*Selphie smiles warmly as he moves his hand to her waist, feeling much more comfortable against him this time. She looks at the bottle in her hand, knowing that he probably wouldn't want to do that if he were sober. But she likes it so she really isn't going to complain*
Mmhm. When we get Leanne back, I think it'd be good for her if I was there with her in Serenes too.
*Still not really thinking about the benefits for herself. She nods against his shoulder at that last part and glances up at him*
Okay. That's a deal.
no subject
[Ikki chuckles at that, a small part of him telling him that she must be well drunk now if she wants to be in that position, but he himself is drunk enough to not care. Besides, if he tried to take away the bottle from her she would do the same with his and he isn't ready to stop yet.]
It will be good for you too, to be there with her and the rest. Think about the benefits for yourself too.
no subject
*She giggles and shakes her head before taking another sip from her bottle. Then she turns to him again and pulls an amused face*
Yeah, yeah, okay. I'll do what's best for me too, if that'll make you happy or whatever.
no subject
[Despite his words back in Serenes he cares about her after all, and doesn't want to see her suffering. At least not while he is in his right mind and not consumed by hate and anger.]
no subject
Really?
*Then she dips her head bashfully and apologetically, knowing that he means it. She was just caught out, rather than questioning it*
no subject
Really. So do your best to take care of yourself as well.
[He leans his head back against the wood, briefly closing his eyes to relax, at least as much as he ever does when outside a volcano.]
no subject
*Selphie watches as he leans his head back, continuing to look at him as he closes his eyes. It felt good to her to see him able to be as relaxed as this, even if it did require a lot of alcohol first. It was nice too, getting to spend time like this with him. It felt like it had been such a long time since they'd enjoyed each other's company so much. While his eyes are closed she doesn't say anything - just sits close and watches him seem peaceful*
no subject
[He asks calmly, eyes still closed and if not for the slight drunk slur one could come to think that he is sober. It feels really nice to be able to be like this with her, if he was a lesser man he would consider the idea of getting her drunk more often so she's willing to be like that with him.]
no subject
*Drunken slur or not, it's not like Selphie's completely sober herself or anything. She watches him a moment more before pressing even closer against him and sighing lightly*
It really, really would...
no subject
[He laughs as if he just said a great joke, tilting his head so it touches her's slightly.]
no subject
*Selphie laughs along at that too, patting lightly on his knee*
no subject
[He takes a long gulp from his bottle, finishing it and placing it besides him before reaching for another.]
Should I take care of you dressed as a slave if you need it?
no subject
*Selphie giggles at his question, lifting her hand to touch his hair as she tilts her head, looking at him carefully*
Hmm... I dunno. Maybe instead...a cowboy. You'd look real good in a cowboy hat.
no subject
[So yeah, he meant the normal stuff.]
Do you like cowboys?
no subject
Yeah. I think they're pretty cool. The hat and the guns and the whole lone ranger thing. Don't you think so too?
no subject
I suppose they are... Though that doesn't sound like someone who would take care of someone who needs to be taken care of.
no subject
*With her slight drunkenness, Selphie thinks about this with an obvious frown, then a dramatic pout, then suddenly looking up at him like she's got a bright idea*
I know! If you were my slave and I told you to be a sweet and caring cowboy - that'd work!
no subject
[Especially when drunk.]
no subject
*She's put her bottle down and is now waving her arms a bit with her drunken ramblings*
no subject
[He chuckles, slightly. His drunk mind says that he should have said it before, but even drunk he's not the type to go praising outward appearances.]
