Cough 021 - [Video Post]

[haori]

[The feed opens with the sight of Ukitake coughing into his free hand.  Luckily, no blood can be spottted.  Yet.]

Ungh...my apologies.  Even with the weather clearing up, it seems that it has finally caught up with me.  [Cough.]  It's what I get for traipsing about in the snow.

[He tucks himself into bed, propped up on pillows again.  This is a normal pose for the Shinigami, as friends have and will come to know.  Sniffling, he speaks again.]

I should be back to myself within a week or tw--

[There must have been a tickle in his throat because he's coughing violently now, red visible through the cracks of his fingers before the feed ends.]

Laughing is all you're good at. All talk, kinda figured.

You're rather simple, aren't you, dome.

[heartofalion]

If it's simple you're looking for, then good. Leave Ukitake alone.

Re: [Video]

Am I to understand that he cannot look after himself?

[Video]

[heartofalion]

Your question doesn't deserve an answer. Leave him alone.

[favorthebold.livejournal.com]

Or else?

[heartofalion]

Talk is cheap over a PCD.

My location is no secret.

[heartofalion]

Like I'd trust you to be alone. You don't show a sick man any honour, so I can't possibly expect to be shown any either.

[favorthebold.livejournal.com]

Hah. Forget honor, dome; who, in this city, do you think would fight for me?

[ Video ]

[heartofalion]

Hmph. It's called having friends.

[ Video ]

[favorthebold.livejournal.com]

That it does. And how many friends do you wager I have?

[ Video ]

[heartofalion]

I wouldn't know or begin to guess.

Re: [ Video ]

A stubborn one. I'll say it plainly: no one will fight by my side, and that is exactly how I would have it.

[Squall smirked when he heard the stubborn comment. He'd honestly lost count of how many times people actually called him that. Hearing the bit about fighting alone, he sighed.]

I was like you are once, and it wasn't all that long ago either. But still..I'm sure there are people you'd protect with everything you got.

[Saul is largely amused by this turn of conversation. 'I was like you', indeed.]

How old are you, dome?

[ Video ]

[heartofalion]

Soon to be in my very late 20's.

[Video ]

[favorthebold.livejournal.com]

Mm... older than I thought.

[Video ]

[heartofalion]

What does someone's age have to do with it?

[Video ]

[favorthebold.livejournal.com]

There is a certain age in which all young men think that they fight to protect something.

[Video ]

[heartofalion]

It's not only young men, and in this place everyone has to protect something, even if it's only themselves.

[Video ]

[favorthebold.livejournal.com]

Well, young men and old fools. And this place is no different from any other place.

[Video ]

[heartofalion]

Maybe this place isn't any different from where you're from.

All places are essentially the same.
