Rosalie's clinic has been badly damaged by the storm. There will be a lot of work here, to clean and fix it.

...


Has anyone seen Zelos? Or Kevin? I want to make certain my friend is safe and thank Kevin for the party.

.....There is a muffled noise that might be a sob.

I-it's pretty bad. Zelos voice is shaking His...one of his legs...was heavily damaged. A-and an arm....ribs....oh Martel his lungs-Another muffled sob.

_{Oh Martel I can't I couldn't oh Martel I couldn't heal him. Anguish laces Zelos voice.}

The coordinates were of a fountain, only a few feet from Rosalie's clinc. (BECAUSE I CAN.) Zelos did not know that, but he had only gone where his feet had taken him, numb and worried and angry. He had ended up walking halfway across the city before replying to Hawke's journal.

-=And then it dawns on him where Zelos is=-

I will be right there, Zelos!



-=Wonderful! Hawke will be hobbling over to Zelos and this will be offline interactions?=-

Zelos cannot reply, he has been overcome by his distress.

_{((ooc: Sounds delightful. Though hobbling Hawke might distress Zelos more. >>;))}

-=does his best not to hobble so much and spots Zelos=-


Zelos! Where.. where is Zephyr? -=had thought Zelos' friend was with him (mostly because I just caught what was going on=-

[Zelos head shoots up. His blue eyes are wide and there is dried blood on his face. In fact... Though it was hard to tell because Zelos was in such shadow his normally light pink vest seemed to be darker then usual. His white pants had bloodstains on them as well, most of them on the back and soaking forward, the blood nearly completely dried.]
W-what? Zephyr...No. He...he's with Unohana....
[Zelos looks down at his gloved hands and shuddered, ripping them off. Blood had soaked through ans his pale hands had a faint red ting.]

[golden_hawke]

-=Walks up, not caring at where the blood was and pulls Zelos into a strong hug. When he speaks it is quiet and deep sounding.=-


Are you injured?

[loudmouthchosen.livejournal.com]

[Zelos shudders and crumples but does not cry. He leans on Hawke but does not move his arms to return the hug.]


No.....not at all.....
[His voice is quiet. Soft. Broken.]

[golden_hawke]

-=Shifts to take gentle control=-

Come inside. I will care for you. -=looks down for a moment with a soft smile.=-

It will get better.

[Zelos shivers again.]
Alright....
[He does not look up at Hawke. Zelos stands slowly and waits for Hawke.]
_{I can only hope so.}

[golden_hawke]

-=keeps an arm secure around Zelos and leads him to his room.=-

You may stay with me, if you wish. It is safe here.


-=fully prepared to get Zelos out of his soiled clothes and washed up to rest in bed.=-

[offline]

[loudmouthchosen.livejournal.com]

[Zelos simply follows. He is tired, emotionally hurt, and still angry at himself though his anger is very much below the surface.]
Alright...

_{((Go right ahead~ Zelos will still be a bit....uh....deadish though. >>; ))}

[offline]

[golden_hawke]

-=Doesn't even do a double take as he strips Zelos out of his clothes and washes the blood away with a warm, wet cloth. It's as if he's very used to doing things like this and takes extra care in drying him. Occassionally he looks up to Zelos with a worried look.=-


Do you wish a drink?


-=He has little in the way of normal human clothing, but when Rosalie took him to go 'shopping,' he still has some left overs. Decent slacks and a sweater, would that do?=-

[loudmouthchosen.livejournal.com]

[Zelos is silent through out the cleaning though he does his part to help Hawke in the stripping and cleaning of himself. He keep his eyes closed most of the time though, running through the battle in his mind over and over again. What he remembers makes him more angry and guilty. At Hawke;s quiet question Zelos finally opens his eye. The blue is dull and blank. He shakes his head slowly.]

_{(( Zelos IS CLOSE to breaking down again. As for the clothes, those will work but let's see what happens hm? Naked breakdown FTW?))}

[offline]

[golden_hawke]

-=He was kneeling before Zelos when he asked, and now he straightens up and reaches for Zelos' face. He wants so badly to keep his friend from hurting, and knows that it's not possible. So he just shifts forward and kisses him. It's not meant to be anything more than something between friends, offering comfort and trying to soothe.=-


If there was a way to take your pain away, I would do so.



[[whatever you want, babe! I'm open for anything, since Hawke doesn't want Zelos to hurt or keep remembering the events over and over again. <3]]

[loudmouthchosen.livejournal.com]

[Zelos accepts the comfort Hawke was giving. He did not feel like anything else. AT Hawke words, tear finally prickled into life in his eyes.He reaches around Hawke's neck and buries his head under Hawke's chin. His tears a silent but powerful enough to make him shake. He answers voice low, and full of emotion.]

I know. I'm sorry.

_{(( A bit of cathartic Crying and comfort! But Zelos will still be angry with himself later.))}

[offline]

[golden_hawke]

-=He pulls Zelos in close, shifting so that he can join his friend on the bed and serve as a shield from the world as he turns his back to the room.=-


Do not be sorry for your sorrow. -=answers equally as he almost wraps himself around Zelos, used to providing comfort like this back home.=-

[loudmouthchosen.livejournal.com]

[Zelos clung to Hawke and let his emotions loose. At least here he was safe.

He cries, the same small choking sobs that a child would have as if trying not to be too loud.]

I....I'm so sorry....

[His words are choked, but not necessarily directed at Hawke or in apology for his crying.]

[offline]

[golden_hawke]

-=He's quiet for now, nuzzling softly and purring in low tones. His hands soothe with slow petting, dragging fingers through red hair.=-

[offline]

[loudmouthchosen.livejournal.com]

[Zelos continues to cry and murmur, his words inaudible even to Hawke, who is so close.


Finally he manages to cry himself to a restless sleep. Even in sleep however his expression is pained and he clings to Hawke, like a child.]

[offline]

[golden_hawke]

-=Once Zelos' drifted into an uneasy sleep, he kisses Zelos' forehead and pulls a blanket up over them. After a few more minutes of shifting so they're both comfortable, and falls asleep.=-

[offline and about 2 hours later]

[loudmouthchosen.livejournal.com]

[Zelos had been sleeping restlessly, moving away from Hawke to lay on his back. Suddenly his breathing hitched and he shot upright, a strangle cry on his lips.

His eyes are open but unfocused and his breathing fast and fearful.]

[offline and about 2 hours later]

[golden_hawke]

-=up like a shot, but doesn't move to touch. Barks softly.=-

Zelos!

[offline and about 2 hours later]

[loudmouthchosen.livejournal.com]

[With another shuddering breathe Zelos eyes finally focus. He coughs a moments and then leans forward, Hand wrapping around his torso as a shudder racks his body.]

[offline and about 2 hours later]

[golden_hawke]

-=finally feels it's safe enough to touch him. He does so, on his shoulder=-


Zelos?
