Higurashi aftermath

[sharpasafawkes]

[IN OUR LAST EPISODE Shaun and Cesare had a little trip down to the labs, if by "trip" we mean "a magical adventure full of torture-filled antics". Needless to say there's one historian laid up in a hospital bed, more or less asleep and bandaged like you wouldn't believe.]

[So much sarcasm] Sure, when I can fly

[maleborgia]

You'll stay like this a while, though, won't you?

[sharpasafawkes]

I don't really have much choice in the matter, now do I?

[slowly becoming more boneless with the petting though.]

[maleborgia]

*might just be trying to peer closer at that writing*

Good. I want you to be a hawk for a bit. I like you like this.

[sharpasafawkes]

["Man is a hawk to man" in latin? what does that even mean?]

...See you started early.

[maleborgia]

*no idea :|a*

Started what early?

[sharpasafawkes]

Using other people, if I've got to be blunt.

[maleborgia]

*...confused*

I'm not using you.

[sharpasafawkes]

You want me around so you can hunt though, yeah?

[maleborgia]

Oh. Well, it would be fun. Don't you think so? Besides, you promised me you would play a game with me after you woke up.

[sharpasafawkes]

But it's still using people, you need to think about how they feel.

[still, pretty much relaxed and letting the tiny do what he wants though]

-but I'm not going to go back on a promise, what sort of game do you want to play?

[maleborgia]

Rabbit hunting!

[sharpasafawkes]

...

Do you really want to see me try and fly?

[maleborgia]

Not now. After you're better.

[sharpasafawkes]

[I believe the best term for what he's doing is called "flopping".]

I meant what game did you want to play right now.

[maleborgia]

Oh.

What do you have? Your room is very empty.

[sharpasafawkes]

There should be some games down in the lobby, why don't you go find one you like?

[maleborgia]

All right. Wait here!

*hopping off the bed and pretty much running out of the room*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Siiigh, resting his head under his wing, and tries to not think about things so much]

[maleborgia]

*in a few minutes Shaun can probably hear him running back down the hall*

Shaun! I found chess!

*and he is in fact carrying a rather beat-up box with the name and picture of the game on it*

[sharpasafawkes]

I should've known you'd find that.

[maleborgia]

*climbs back onto the bed and starts setting up the board and pieces*

Why? I want to be white, you can be black.

[sharpasafawkes]

[waddling over to his side and using his beak to set up some himself]

You just want to go first.

[maleborgia]

Of course! *quickly finishes up and then starts helping Shaun*

[sharpasafawkes]

[laughing a bit]

Taking advantage of a poor injured man are you, that's terrible you know.
