You were doin' well.

[Up until Hizumi grabbed him, seems like.]

But this is okay?

[He says as he begins tugging Ouma along - he's mostly aiming to get them to the tree so they can sit on it like a makeshift bench, away from the vomit.]

[fabling]

[ He blinks, the compliment making his eyes dip away. He lets himself be pulled along towards the tree. It really took some damage, but it works as a bench, that's for sure. ]

This is okay.

[bondsofsuffering]

[This is good information to know. Hizumi flops onto the downed tree without fanfare.]

That's a good start, bein' able to talk about it. An effect that's formless, takin' form...

[He tilts his head upwards thoughtfully.]

Once you're feelin' better, we can start workin' on shapin' it. That kinda thing can be real useful for all sorts of stuff if you can get it to take the forms you want. Defendin' yourself, defendin' others...

...Droppin' stuffed animals on unsuspectin' victims...

[He should know.]

[fabling]

[ They probably should have started with that. "Oh, by the way I was crushed to death so please don't grab me and squeeze tightly it will not be fun." ]

Are you training me to bully Ayumu-chan?

[ He's trying, at least, to unravel his head from flashback hell anyway. ]

[bondsofsuffering]

[Ouma's the one who went and said it was a stabbing...

But hey, this is a much preferable topic, and he's hoping it'll help give Ouma something else to put his mind to instead of... all of that hell.]

Do I really need to? Even if you learned the basics, I'm sure you could come up with all kinds of fun uses yourself.

[fabling]

[ He’ll regret that later when he has to own up to it but whatever... whatever. ]

Hmmm, that’s true, Hizu-chan. You won’t get territorial, will you?

[bondsofsuffering]

[Hey Ouma let's talk about your death right here right now.]

Oh? Why would I get territorial?

[fabling]

[ No let's talk about Ayumu instead. ]

You like teasing him, right?

[bondsofsuffering]

'Course I do.

[That's like, basic best friend territory.]

That sounds more like a proposal for an alliance than an attack, though.

[fabling]

I'm not very good at working with others, Hizu-chan.

[bondsofsuffering]

So what, if I'm already teasin' him, you don't wanna join in?

[Boooo.]

[fabling]

Are you starting to run out of ideas, is that it?

[ Booo to you too! ]

[bondsofsuffering]

Are you backin' out just 'cause it wouldn't bother me?

[fabling]

[ Maybe. ]

Who knows? As long as Ayumu-chan is embarrassed what does it matter?

[bondsofsuffering]

Laaaaaaame. It could've been one of those... y'know.

[He waves a hand a bit, to properly summon the right word.]

Bondin' activities? [Whatever.] And then Ayumu'd have to spend all his time watchin' his back instead of half the time.

[That's the more important part.]

[fabling]

I had no idea you wanted to bond with me so much, Hizu-chan. Should I have put in more effort?

[ He's smiling, but it definitely isn't a legitimate smile. ]

But that's fine, I can bully your best friend if that's what you want.
