[Ky has woken, showered, put on new clothes, and checked the date, so by the time he appears on the SFC he looks contrite, not groggy.]

My sincere apologies for falling asleep at such an inconvenient time.

[Not that any time would be particularly convenient.]

Now that I'm back...I'd like to inform people who aren't aware, or haven't heard enough, about the Defense Force. It exists as a group of volunteers to protect locals and fellow foreigners from attacks and threats, both external and internal. If you have experience as a knight or that sort of thing, I would urge you to consider joining. If you would prefer to provide a supporting role...no man on his own is an army. We need you too.

[Filtered to Zelos:]

If you would prefer not to work with me, I'm sure that you can be relocated to another sector. Just let me know.

[Filtered to Zelda:]

I'm sorry for not responding before. I couldn't. [He's still contrite, but that's edging away a little, in favor of embarrassment.] The, ah, tunic I was wearing was yours, I presume?

[ooc: ooc signups for the Defense Force here, if you want to thread something icly Ky'd be happy to give whatever details he can.]
zelda_hylia: Of course! (Of course!)

[Well he best not, because she'll just keep smiling.]

In case something happened to the bubble while you were unconscious, of course. We have no way of knowing how long we'll be asleep, after all. You seemed to consider it appropriate behavior to use magic on comatose people anyway, so I was quite certain you would not mind.
zelda_hylia: (Is that so?)

[Oh honestly, Ky.]

I've tested it, it works fine - and certainly better than nothing at all. You're acting as if I undressed you to put it on.
zelda_hylia: Shame on you! (Shame on you!)

I would never touch an unconscious person inappropriately! You were literally unable to take care of yourself, and I was there, so I did so. Stop acting like it was something else! It is not as if you had a list just laying about of people who you would prefer to care for you if you ever became comatose!

[OFFENDED.]

You were completely unconscious, of course you did! Don't be an idiot.

Johnny? Very well, I'll have him do it next time. I'll be sure to teach him how to give someone a spongebath, as well.

[He's another man, so it's totally appropriate!

Yes, Zelda is completely aware that Johnny is a gay man.]

[Though the temptation to continue teasing him is extremely strong, it seems that something about how terribly flustered he is has gotten through to her. She peers at the screen worriedly.]

...I didn't harm you, I assure you. Is being touched really so terrible?

[Zelda certainly seems to think he was overreacting. How having someone care for you versus casting a semi-hostile spell in your direction is something to get MORE worked up over... well, it genuinely concerns her. She closes her eyes.]

Ky... listen. We are all on the Defense Force together now. When I noticed that you were unresponsive, I went to check on you. I don't believe the Defense Force should only protect others, we also have to look out for each other. What sort of force would we be otherwise? We do not get along, but you are my ally. I will not leave your fate to chance when you have no way of taking care of yourself. When you are conscious, of course, what you do is your prerogative. I had no ulterior motives. Do you understand?

[They live in a bubble under the sea held up by a mysterious force that NO ONE UNDERSTANDS. The high priestess herself admits that the scientists are mucking up the coral and he doesn't think it's a legitimate concern to worry that it might break down? Idiocy!]

[Okay. Deep breaths. There's no point in arguing with Ky, he's as stubborn as a Goron and just about as likely to change his mind.

Sometimes she feels like he's as intelligent as a Goron too, but she's fairly certain that's just the irritation talking.]


Since it seems that I have legitimately upset you, I do apologize for that much. Please, keep hold of the tunic though. It would ease my paranoia.

I'm certain. I should have enough for everyone relatively soon, I've been collecting them for nearly a year now.

[If it comes down to it, some sort of leadership needs to survive or there will be total chaos. She's not going to mention that much to Ky, he'd probably martyr himself or something equally ridiculous.]

That's silly. You are more experienced in military matters than I am, I don't have a problem following any orders you might give. Though if Zelos does move, we've been working as a unit for quite some time now. I suppose it's up to him.

[In which case... should she be preparing to switch sectors? Probably.]

[Stop being earnest Ky, it makes her feel just a bit guilty for teasing. And then angry because she feels guilty, and then she wants to tease him again.]

...don't overwork yourself, alright? I don't mind continuing to help with paperwork until you can find someone suitable to do so.
zelda_hylia: Of course! (Of course!)

If you're sure, then. Well, I won't keep you any longer, I'm sure you have a lot to catch up on.

[Smiling and waving now! There's no way he can keep up with that work easily, it's just him and Squall now! Serph's absence can't be doing good things.]
