Flattened Derp and Friend

[mistaken_for_monster]

[It went without saying that the moment the pair got back to Sakihama after the debacle in Malaysia, Volya and Interitus were completely wiped from the battle physically and emotionally. Both were curled up on a sofa, the former still feeling the phantom pains of the latter who looked battered, bruised and burned. And to top it all off...]

Uuugh...

[Volya promptly let out several coughs, hacking up something unpleasant into a tissue and tossing it into a pile before weakly groping close by for a bottle of water.]

"Told Volya should have worn mask."

[The Haze has claimed yet another victim.]

Comments

[mistaken_for_monster]

... Yeah... I don't know how many more close calls me and 'teritus can live with...

[Because... you know. Eventually one more might get them. One of Interitus hands reaches up and tiredly tries to flick Volya's nose in chastisement. She fails several times before she gives up and the arm flops over.]

"Fine. True... Need vacation maybe..."

[star_of_sad]

Alright then.

[Setsuko is surprised actually. That was easy - no comments about how he can't stay down because he needs to contribute any way he can? But then, that's not Volya's way...]

Just don't forget that the two of you have more than just each other to rely on. I'll be always here for you, and many others too. If there's anything we can do to help...

[mistaken_for_monster]

...Just... just remember the same about yourself...

You've been here for us from the start Setsuko.

We help Setsuko too! Other friends help too- ow...

[Interitus tried to punch her hand up and sound enthusiastic. Somehow she pulled something, which begs the question of how that is even possible.]

[star_of_sad]

Interitus, Volya...

Thank you. Of course, I won't forget it. Ah... just try not to hurt yourself too much.

[Setsuko's smile looks a bit worried as she glances at the plant creature.]
