006 ☓ voice

[envy_the_sinners]

[Anyone who knows Scar or has spoken to him before will recognize his voice. But he's sounding... a little worn out. Frazzled. The tiny mews of a dazed Espurr can be heard in the background, along with the steady thumps of something far more solid than rain hitting the hotel roof.]

The Pokémon that are falling out of the sky. Do not unfold their ears. Just... don't.

[This has been a public service announcement. He had just been trying to give it a bath!]

I was warned earlier about what happens.

It was an accident, Scar, don't be angry at the poor thing. It's been through enough already.

Does it look like I'm angry at her? I'm still letting her sit on my head.

Private Video

[a_sin_for_him]

You certainly seem angry.

Private Video

[envy_the_sinners]

I'm on edge.

[He says that definitively.]

Private Video

[a_sin_for_him]

Take a few deep breaths, then. And rest.

[envy_the_sinners]

[Scar inadvertently does take a deep breath.]

That is what I'm doing.

Private Video

[a_sin_for_him]

Good.

Are you alright?

Private Video

[envy_the_sinners]

I've been worse.

Private Video

[a_sin_for_him]

Have your traveling partner take care of you.

'I've been worse' just means 'I'm hurt but not badly enough I can justify admitting it'.

Private Video

[envy_the_sinners]

I can take care of myself.

[It's already uncomfortable enough staying in the hotel with him.]

It's more than likely just bruising, there isn't anything to be done or worried over.

Private Video

[a_sin_for_him]

If it's bruised ribs, you should have them wrapped.

Private Video

[envy_the_sinners]

I've bruised them before. It barely makes a difference whether I wrap them or not.

[Whyyy is she going on about this?]

Private Video

[a_sin_for_him]

They heal faster if they're wrapped.

Just...see to your health Scar, for god's sake.

Private Video

[envy_the_sinners]

I am, that's why we've come inside.

Private Video

[a_sin_for_him]

You make the barest minimal effort.

Private Video

[envy_the_sinners]

It's barely even an injury. I'm fine.

Besides, I used up my bandages on the Pokémon earlier.

Private Video

[a_sin_for_him]

Alright, alright.

Of course you did.

Private Video

[envy_the_sinners]

What else was I supposed to do? Leave them all? You were just defending them.

Private Video

[a_sin_for_him]

I wasn't condemning your actions.

It's just...a very you sort of thing to do, that's all.

Private Video

[envy_the_sinners]

[He hesitates a moment, glancing away.]

Oh.

[Grump grumble.]

Regardless, everything is fine.

[He's just going to have to pay a hefty damages check to the hospital.]

Private Video

[a_sin_for_him]

I'll have to take your word for it.

Private Video

[envy_the_sinners]

My traveling... companion looked me over.

[NOT THAT HE'S TOO THRILLED ABOUT THAT]
