[ledbythewind]

This post can be used to thread with or get in contact with Richard at any point when he doesn't have a post up! Just comment here (please use the format [Action, June 24th], [Voice, March 5th], etc. to make it clear when the thread is taking place and what type of thread it is) for a thread with him; if it's a continuation of another thread or post, please link that so I remember the context of the thread.

GO NUTS.

[He makes an amused sound, though it quickly trails off into coughing. It's a moment more before he recovers enough to continue.]

I do owe him my life for it, though. By parasitizing my body, he saved me from dying of poison, and in exchange he got the chance to continue living.

But does it bother you? What he did?

[Action, October 9th]

[ledbythewind]

[Richard has to think about this for a moment. In a way, it had been almost nice at times to have someone who truly understood his feelings. But that... isn't the way most people would feel, is it?]

... sometimes, yet at the same time... he understood me better than anyone else.

You know. Back in the passageways of Amala, back in the world we came from after the Conceptions... all that stuff I did, I didn't regret any of it.

Not then, anyway.

[Action, October 9th]

[ledbythewind]

But you regret it now?

[Action, October 9th]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

...Maybe a little, yeah.

Maybe more than a little.

[Action, October 9th]

[ledbythewind]

[Yeah, Richard's all too familiar with that feeling, and it doesn't require a verbal response to show that he understands. Instead, he'll just reach his hand out to find Isamu's and give it a squeeze.]

[Isamu looks mildly annoyed for a moment at this action, but doesn't move his hand.

They're the only two in the room, so whatever.]

[Action, October 9th]

[ledbythewind]

[... yeah Richard's kind of picking up on that, so he'll pull his hand back with an apologetic expression.]

I'm sorry, I should have asked first.

[Action, October 9th]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

Nah. S'fine. My bad for being a snot about it.

[Action, October 9th]

[ledbythewind]

I think I'm the one who has the most claim to that particular title right now.

[That's half a laugh, half a cough there.]

[Action, October 9th]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

Ha. That was lame.

[He frowns a little.]

Want me to send someone to get something for you now?

[Action, October 9th]

[ledbythewind]

[Of course it was lame, that is the point.]

No, I think I'm--

[... aaaand coughing again, harder this time.]

[Action, October 9th]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, you're perfectly fine.

Stop being so stubborn about this.

[Action, October 9th]

[ledbythewind]

[It takes him a moment to stop coughing, and when he finally does, he's left feeling light-headed and hot.]

... just a glass of water.

[Action, October 9th]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

And am I allowed to get this for you, or should I call someone up?

[Action, October 9th]

[ledbythewind]

Will you get lost on the way there?

[Action, October 9th]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

On the way to get a glass of water? Are you kidding?

[Action, October 9th]

[ledbythewind]

Then I think I can manage on my own for a few moments.

[Action, October 9th]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

Alright. I'll be right back.

[He gets up slowly, just in case Richard decides to grab him again, and heads downstairs for the water. If he thought he could get away with it, he'd throw some soup on real quick too. But he doesn't want Richard to get worried or upset.

Shortly after, he's handing the glass to the blond.]

[Action, October 9th]

[ledbythewind]

[No, no grabbing this time, he'll be good and just wait for Isamu to get back.

When he does, Richard sits up against the pillows, smiling a little as he accepts that water. He doesn't have much appetite for soup anyway, so this is probably best, and right now something cold sounds a lot better than something hot. He has to resist the temptation to press the glass against his face for a moment before taking a sip.]

Thank you, Isamu.

Hey, I'm good for some things, right?

[He sits back on the bed.]

We'll have you properly looked at eventually.

[Action, October 9th]

[ledbythewind]

I would say more than just some things, but your skills as a pillow still need considerable work.

I suppose I'd better fatten myself up so I make a better support for his majesty's head.

[Action, October 9th]

[ledbythewind]

[He tilts his head as if pondering this for a moment, then... yep, leaning over to check just how much "fattening up" needs to be done.]
