Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[unbr8kable]

[Understatement. NTS: never trust genies

Squeezes her eyes shut for a beat as well; swallows. Presses her palm to Hurricane's face, ruffles through his hair. Takes another few breaths.]

You--you got your hero form, right? Can you try it?

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[crossmyheartandhope]

Y-yeah. Lemme -

[This is definitely the henshin transformation, though it is a lot less flashy than usual, with him lying here on the ground. When it's done, he's in one piece again, all armored up.]

[...sorry guys, he's just gonna stay down for a second and breathe.]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[stakesthesame]

[ oh thank fuck

releases a breath she didn't know she was holding and just kinda. sits back, gently squeezing nem's shoulder before looking to pink. ]

... thanks, dude.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[unbr8kable]

[holy hell

So yes, just--slumping where she is, today has been So Much. She'll thank Pink when she feels less like...this, hurgh]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[worldlyafflictions]

[Shrugs the thanks off casually(?? lordy)]

Nobody asked me.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[stakesthesame]

I know, I'm sorry. We made some... genie mistakes.

But I'm grateful anyway.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[worldlyafflictions]

[Wow I hope Cobalt-san didn't genie himself into a grinder or something then...]

Sure.. I mean we were technically offering the service anyway, for immunity or whatever, but uh... usually ya don't want anybody ta be in pieces before we do our thing...

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[stakesthesame]

... yeah. We didn't get a choice, it just dropped you on us.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Kind of slurred a little:]

...sorry.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[worldlyafflictions]

Sure, don't worry about it.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[unbr8kable]

[sometime later, after at least making sure hurricane's in one piece done losing his head more-or-less okay]

Uh. Thanks for this. Even if it was just 'cause some magic bullshit. It could've been so much worse.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[worldlyafflictions]

Uh, really...? [IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE??]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[stakesthesame]

[ gently strokes her back, careful of any hidden wounds ]

He's okay, Kitty. We're all gonna be okay.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[unbr8kable]

[takes in a shuddery breath--has nothing worth saying, so keeps quiet. most certainly seems to appreciate the effort however]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[stakesthesame]

[ Shuffles up against her side while she pets-- not leaning, but just offering something solid for nem when or if she wants. ]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[unbr8kable]

[gonna wait for him, but still placing her hand on his head]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[crossmyheartandhope]

[When he thinks he's got it together enough for actual coherent movement, he's going to reach for her hand.]

...genies suck.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[unbr8kable]

[Grabs it, pulls it in, tight. Her voice is a little higher-pitched than usual; her chuckle a little edgy.]

--Understatement of the year, there.

Are you-- How are you?

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[crossmyheartandhope]

M'okay.

[Waves his free hand a little, vaguely.]

Got a spare, right? Good as new.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[unbr8kable]

[Takes that hand, too]

Yeah. Yeah. No harm, no foul.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[stakesthesame]

[ she'll wait until he's more coherent to mumble softly ]

... no more genies.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[crossmyheartandhope]

[A little slurred:]

You said it.

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[stakesthesame]

[ ... leaning over to gently pet his hair. ]

Next time, I make the stupid decision. Better me than you.

[ because honestly if i see nem like this again i don't know what to do. ]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[crossmyheartandhope]

...hey, it was an awesome decision, right up till it wasn't.

[Hair pets sadly are probably less effective through the henshin armor, but the gesture is appreciated.]

Re: THE UNDERBRUSH

[stakesthesame]

[ HELMET PATS THEN, for some reason i thought he wasn't. wearing one. ]

... still. Are you... okay? Are you in pain? I'm so sorry, dude.
