Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[fujimaru]

[ She just appears to be asleep! There's no injuries on her, no weird extra bits or pieces or markings, just her.

At the sound of his voice, though, she does make a little grumpy not-quite-awake sound, wiggling a little without opening her eyes. ]

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[rugpull]

[making sure he's got most of the blood off his hands if any was there before reaching to take her hand]

Y'went away.

So I came t'find ya.

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[fujimaru]

[ Her hand flexes in his, weakly at first, and then curling to hold his hand back. It takes a little longer for her to actually open her eyes, though she isn't entirely focused. ]

...Ruggie...?

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[rugpull]

Yeah, s'me.

Good morning.

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[fujimaru]

[ It takes a couple of seconds, because she is clearly not entirely awake yet, but when he says that, she breaks into a smile in response. ]

Morning... how'd you get here?

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[rugpull]

A ton of walking.

[takes off the ring and slips it into her hand]

Found this for ya.

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[fujimaru]

[ She blinks, closing her hand around it before she opens her fingers again, looking at it. There's an immediate recognition on her face. ]

Where'd you find this--?

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[rugpull]

Tentacle had it.

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[fujimaru]

...

Tentacle?

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[rugpull]

Tentacle.

[nods

then just

kneels down next to the bed, resting his chin on the edge to keeping looking at Ritsuka]

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[fujimaru]

Why was there a tentacle...

[ She doesn't sit up since he does that, but she does let the globe roll away, reaching with her free hand to pet his hair. ]

...

Also this is gonna sound weird, but... where are we?

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[rugpull]

Inside yer heart or soul or something deep like tha--ah....

[leans into the pets]

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[fujimaru]

Oh my god, I'm sorry.

[ Not that she knows what he saw, exactly, but she knows enough of the people here to be apologetic. And continue petting. ]

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[rugpull]

What the heck ya sorry for? I wanted t'be here.

I missed ya.

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[fujimaru]

Was I gone for long?

[ She looks a little surprised, but she's being good. She is not actually questioning or pushing back on it. Only hand-holding and hair petting now. ]

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[rugpull]

Long enough for my taste.

How ya feeling?

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[fujimaru]

...Tired, mostly. A little confused? I don't even know how I got here. How much trouble am I in?

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[rugpull]

Not much now that yer found. You can get back to how things ought t'be.

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[fujimaru]

...did he break something...

[ It's just a guess, really, but if she's been asleep, that means probably the Beast was up and running things. ]

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[rugpull]

No but uh I don't wanna talk t'that guy I wanna talk to Ritz.

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[fujimaru]

I'm right here, Ruggie.

[ She laughs a little as she says it, hitching closer to the side of the bed and sitting up enough to put her arms around him. It's hugging time now. ]

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[rugpull]

[GOOD

he will indulge the hug and maybe also enjoy it]

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[fujimaru]

[ They can hug and she will even give him a little kiss on his forehead. ]

...Thanks for coming for me.

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[rugpull]

You'd come for me! So I had t'come for ya no matter what.

Wouldn't be fair otherwise.

Re: FUJIMARU RITSUKA

[fujimaru]

You didn't have to. I would've been okay.

[ But also she is clearly happy about this. :( Thank you for coming, Ruggie. ]
