I'm alive awake alert enthusiastic ♫

[Guess who's awake! Seems like he's not the only one, either.]

So, uh, guess it was my turn for one of those coma nap things. Seems like I missed some crazy shit this past week, what with the coral freaking out. Anything else going on I should know about?

And for all my hunnies, I hope you weren't too worried♥ The Great Zelos Wilder is just fine~

[Filtered to Guy]
You okay man? I was kind of out of it already the last time we talked.

[Filtered to Kratos]
Stay the fuck out of my house!

[Filtered to Ky]
You are the neediest little SOB I've ever met. It's like you want in my pants or something, geeze.

Good. I've been better. Following the advice of others, regardless of what others might say, can be rather exhausting.

You're being pretty cryptic there and dodging the question, my darling professor <3

... Despite my efforts I have not been able to travel down completely into the bubble.

You're at home, right? Stay put.

[With that Zelos abruptly turns off the feed and makes a beeline for the door. If Raine hasn't been down below, she hasn't touched the coral, and coral sickness can be pretty nasty. He'll just have to carry her if she can't do it herself.

He snags a water tunic from Zelda's massive supply and makes his way to the island quickly.]

[ Once Zelos had turned off the seed Raine turns her own SFC off and puts it to the side. She then awaits for Zelos to arrive as she shifts herself into a sitting position in her bed. It's been more than a month for her and thus had been bedridden for the past day or so.

She tried though. She really did. ]

[It takes a little while for Zelos to get to her, but soon enough he unceremoniously opens the door to Raine's house and sticks his head in around the frame.]

Raine? I'm coming in!

[The redhead makes his way through the little house to the bedroom where he knocks twice before opening the door and waltzes right up to her bedside.]

Looks like you're in a bit of a pickle, Professor.

[ Upon hearing Zelos' entrance Raine waits until he finds his way right up to her bedside. She sighs lightly at Zelos comment. ]

While I have made progress it hasn't been enough. [ She's a bit bitter about it. If she can't even help herself how can she help others. ]

You're about to make a little more, then!

[The Chosen tosses the blue tunic he'd been carrying lightly into Raine's lap and turns his back.]

Put that on. It's a magic shirt from my roommate's world that lets your breathe underwater. Pretty neat, huh?

[Not that he'd ever seen it work, but that's just a detail. He trusts Zelda and moreover they won't have to test it right now. The bubble may be underwater but as far as he can tell it's not gonna start leaking any time soon. It's more for Raine's peace of mind than anything.]

[ Raine blinks and looks down at the blue tunic that Zelos tossed into Raine's lap. Despite her current condition there her eyes still sparkled at the tunic as Zelos explained what it did. This was something she would love to know more about once she feels better. ]

Yes, this tunic is quite marvelous. I would love to know more about this tunic and your roommate's world. But, that can wait until I've gone down and touched the coral.

[ Not as exciting sounding than she usually would have had it but she still sounded intrigued as she spoke. ]

[She must really be out of it because he doesn't hear her trying to put it on. That's why he turned his back, after all.]

Yeah, so get in it if you think it'll help you feel more comfortable and we can get you down there, alright? I don't want you dropping into a coma too!

So you know a few who have dropped into a coma?

[ As she asks she's slowly getting into the tunic. There's still that sparkle in her eye despite the subject change. It also seems like she'll watching right back to her going on about the tunic at any moment. ]

Yeah, it's a pretty normal thing I guess. I was even in one and I feel fine now. Still, not something I recommend making a habit of.

[He glances back over his shoulder, not really hoping to get a glimpse of anything but he wouldn't say no if he did~]

You ready?

Understandable. While I have not experienced one myself it is something I would rather not make an experience out of.

[ Whoops! Too bad Zelos. She was able to slip on the tunic just moments before you glanced back. Maybe next time ~~if you really want something to be chucked at your face~~ ]

Yes. I'm ready.

[Damn. Oh well, better luck next time.]

Need help getting around or can you get up on your own?

[Even as he asks, Zelos makes his way over and offers his hand to help Raine to her feet should she need it. He'll carry her if he has to.]

I'm... not sure I can make it to the Coral on my own.

[ She hates to admit it but she could barely get out of bed. Walking to the Coral would surely be a bad idea. With that in mind Raine slowly grabs Zelos' offered hand and swung her feet around so she can stand up. ]

Well in that case...

[Noting the slowness in her movements and the weakness in her voice, Zelos makes an executive decision and simply gathers Raine up in his arms, one supporting her back while the other hooks under her knees. In easy strides he makes his way out of the house and towards the elevator.

That's right Raine, he's just gonna carry you all the way to the coral~]

W-What are you--

[ A pause. No, she wasn't in the position to stop Zelos from picking her up. She didn't have a choice. So instead of finishing the sentence she sighs. As long as Zelos doesn't have anything up his sleeve she'll put up with this. As they neared the elevator she closed her eyes and took deep breaths as she does her best to keep herself calm. ]

[Nothing up the Chosen's sleeve this time. He carries Raine right into the elevator and nods to the operator to take them down.]

Like I said, that tunic lets you breathe underwater so there's absolutely nothing to be afraid of at all, got it Professor? No worries!

[ Raine nods her head slightly at Zelos' words. ]

Yes, thank you. I will keep that in mind as we make our way to the Coral.

[Zelos keeps up a steady stream of chatter as they make their way to the coral below, touching on a myriad of subjects from who's who in the bubble to reminiscing about the happier events of their journey. Finally, Zelos places Raine carefully on her feet right next to the coral, staying by her side to support her in case she's too weak to stand.

He may be a flirtatious idiot but he'll be damned before anyone say he doesn't take care of his friends.]

[ Raine does her best to stay focus on the chatter rather than on the water around her as they moved towards the coral. Raine keeps a mental note on some of the things she's told about the people Zelos tells her about and reminisces on the happier times of their journey with him.

When they arrive at the coral Raine takes the time to steady herself, using Zelos as a support pillar until she's able to maintain it. Then she reaches over and touches the coral.

If she didn't want to get out and back onto the island as soon as possible she would be all over this coral. ]
