Don't challenge me! Just because I'm out of practice doesn't mean I can't...!

[And he'll follow after, setting the tray out in the table in front of them before sitting down next to her]

Do you want me to look at your arm now or after tea?

[fujibayashi]

[She ignores him, at least until she's sure he's not gonna trip and kill himself on the tea kettle or something. She remembers how he fucked up his shin last time okay.

She blinks at him, almost like she's forgotten about it.]

Um, it's still too hot to drink. You can finish healing my arm if you want.

[wilder]

Finally.

[And jeez that was one time!! But he'll sit upright and put his hand on her shoulder as he examines the arm to make sure it hasn't you know- healed wrong. After a moment of that, he'll pull away and concentrate on a spell]

First Aid!

[And you know, sparkly sparkly healing magic]

[fujibayashi]

[She lets out a little breath as the healing settles in, repairing her arm the rest of the way. She flexes her fingers into a fist to test for any pain, then gently takes off the sling. Very, very carefully, she stretches her arm out straight and wiggles her fingers experimentally.]

Much better. Oh, uh, thanks.

[wilder]

Sure, no problem.

Just don't go bench-pressing or whatever for it for a few days, okay?

[fujibayashi]

Doing chores and stuff by myself is a lot different, you know. [It's weird for her to be coddled by anyone, especially Zelos, and it makes her a bit prickly. So she busies herself with the tea instead and tries not to get too flustered.]

[wilder]

Not with how much chores you seem to do. [SO CALLING YOU ON IT] C'mon, they might be guys but I'm sure your roommates could help out a little for the week.

[fujibayashi]

[That... makes her look a little guilty. It's her turn to duck slightly.]

If I can't fight, how else am I supposed to keep myself busy?

[wilder]

Well there's always the library!

[he shrugs] Just for the week, that's all. It's healed, but it still needs some recovery time. Pushing it too far will strain it.

[fujibayashi]

Okay, fine. I'll watch it. [She huffs and hunches her shoulders a fraction.] I know it's bad when you start nagging me...

[She blows across the top of her tea and takes a sip.]

[wilder]

[And he is taking his own cup]

Haha, sorry but someone needs to nag you from time to time.

[fujibayashi]

[Way to bring her down a peg.]

Why's that? I can take care of myself.

[She's blushing a little agh damn it. LOOK AWAAAAY]

[wilder]

Yeah, I know. You're very strong and capable.

Buuut you put too much on your shoulders sometimes. Taking on all the work you can and fretting about everyone else. And that'd heavy to bear for anyone, man.

1/2

[fujibayashi]

[... He just called her strong, not just strong but VERY strong, and capable, and he's not even being a douche about it. She pinkens and looks a bit taken aback, and then she realizes she's probably blushing and-- grips the edge of her tunic instead of throwing the tea in his face.

That would not be good for their friendship.]

[fujibayashi]

I-it's not like I do that on purpose! I didn't ask for some guy to break my arm.

[wilder]

[...wow she is seriously blushing and that tsunning is really cute. He can't but give a quiet chuckle. It's definitely not one of his trollish ones, just a small simple one]

Well I'd hope not. Asking someone to break your arm is not very healthy.

[fujibayashi]

[She might break his even without asking.]

If I strain my arm because I'm throwing you out, it's your fault.

[wilder]

Hey hey come on! I'm just here to talk and enjoy tea with you! No need to throw me out!

[fujibayashi]

No, [she retorts in a softer tone,] you're here because you're worried about talking to your sister.

[wilder]

[Wow, when put like that? It kinda stings]

....I could've done that over the tablet you know.

[fujibayashi]

[She looks down into the bottom of her teacup. It's her guilt that's making the tea taste bad this time.]

Let me do it. Let me talk to her.

[There is very little about this that can be considered a good idea, but Sheena seems earnest.]

[wilder]

[That catches him off guard]

- What?

[fujibayashi]

If I talk to her and tell her what happened, she might be able to handle it better. She can talk to you when she calms down.

[She looks at him.]

... What's with that look?

[wilder]

[Sheena that is possibly the worst plan you made since that time you decided to give yourself up to Kuchikawa. ]

[Crap. how to say it tactfully though]

...No. I can't have you do that.

[Well that's direct anyway]

[fujibayashi]

[It's about the same thing tbh.

Zelos isn't usually so direct. She blinks.]

... Are you sure? If you can't do it, you can ask me. I know she doesn't like me much, but I'm-- but you're my friend.
