[semi-accidental video]

[double_edged]

[Not even a day has passed and you can already expect Azimuth to be on his feet, continuing life as normal. Except something about him still seems off, and in the process of preparing breakfast, the old Lombax could be seen stopping from time to time, murmuring to himself, or pausing to lean on the counter. His movements are stiff and hesitant, though he manages enough sense of mind to nearly complete an entire bowl of cereal.

Milk poured, an unsteady hand sets the gallon aside, opting to put it back in the fridge later. This is followed by another hesitant pause, and the Elder stares strangely down at the Lucky Charms filled to the rim.

He raises the spoon.

But his head is first to splash into the bowl, nearly knocking it over.

No, Alister, that's not how you eat.]

[ooc: aaaand wrap-up post. Alister's staying at the Villa with Rin and Yukio until he's a bit more steady on his feet. o7]

[Yes, Rin heard you, Asakura. He's standing right there in the kitchen trying to cook breakfast for everyone.]

He's not dead and don't call him an animal. He hates that.

[Seriously, he lost his ear over a dispute about being called a "beast".]

He's drugged, so leave him alone, okay?

[Can you tell Rin is irritable?]</small.

[force_a_change]

He looks like one, and smells like one too.

[Don't ask how Asakura knows what a dead cat looks like or smells like, because no one wants to know that.]

So... you're letting him suffer for what reason? Altruism?

action

[keepsthefire]

Che! No! He was kidnapped! By that lunatic who's been killin' people. Alister was one of the lucky ones.

[Well... relatively speaking.]

action

[force_a_change]

... He doesn't look all that lucky.

[Seriously Rin, this seems like, to Asakura, that you just wanna make Alister suffer more.]

And don't people come back from dying here? I'd assume that would be better than this, Mister Okumura.

[keepsthefire]

[That's going to get a very irritated glare and a faint growl from the half-demon. That is not a subject he wants to talk about.]

That don't make it okay! Dyin' still fucks with you, okay? 'least this way he'll just get it out of his system!

action

[force_a_change]

You're right, it doesn't make this okay. But if it makes you feel like a better person then good for you.

[chipper, so damned chipper.]

But if he gets worse then I can simply fix that for you and him without much mess.

[God damnit Asakura now is not the time to be a creeper. Rin is already on hair trigger.]

... get out. If you're gonna say shit like that then just get the fuck out.

action

[force_a_change]

[Who said she's being a creeper, she's merely stating facts.

And she shrugs.]

You're acting as if I was actually stabbing him in front of you. I'm not that rude.

[Also not leaving.]

action

[keepsthefire]

I don't care! I don't wanna hear shit like that! You--!

[Damnit, now the food is burning. He stops to tend to it, trying to salvage what he can.]

If you're not gonna help then go somewhere else.

action

[force_a_change]

If I wanted to help I would have put him out of his misery without talking to you.

[Poor food.]

And fine, I need to check up on someone else anyway.

[aka her daily stalking of Kyon.]

action

[keepsthefire]

Fine, whatever, just go...

[Whatever patience Rin usually has is out the window today. He doesn't have time for your bullshit, Asakura.]

action

[force_a_change]

[She's going, she's going~.

That and she's bored so prodding Rin to see what he'll do is a reasonable past-time for her.]
