reveilation | IC INBOX

[ Terry honestly doesn't need his sight to imagine what face Kido is making right now with the silence lingering between them. This, too, is something he's also used to. He just smiles as usual and takes a step forward. ]

Come ooon, let's get going already.

You're going to break your legs someday, Terrence...

[ But she'll trail after him... reluctantly... and hope he's not going to be jumping off the castle or something once they get there, because there's no way she'll be able to carry him all the way back. And there's also no way in hell she'll bang on the Velvet Room door for assistance even if Terry's legs are all splintered. ]

Weren't you going to try your best to stay out of the hospital?

My legs will be fiiine. I won't have to go to the hospital just from high landings. I promise. My body is a lot sturdier now... and I used to do it all the time back home. It's easier to reach people if all they do is float in the air.

[ He'll slow his pace so that Kido can catch up, but also for the fact that he wants her to lead instead. ]

[ Why are people floating in the air back home?? Terry???? Kido's suddenly incredibly tired, like she wants to cancel this trip and just go home, but they're pretty much at the forest so there's no point. ]

Just... take care of yourself, okay? I'm going to be worried no matter what... I know there are times where injuries can't be helped, but breaking your legs because of something like that is just stupid.

[ She continues walking beside him instead of leading, though, rubbing a hand over the back of her head and startling a little when Umi bats at her hand. Right, there's a cat in her hood. Stay safe there and don't go flying through the air with this maniac walking next to her. ]

[ Welcome to the world of magic and demigods, Kido, where everyone and everything is incomprehensible and insane. :') ]

I know, I know... I'll try not to worry you too much and always do my best in taking care of myself.

[ Umi meows and nuzzles the back of Kido's head and then proceeds to sit in her hood like a human. ]

[ She wants out of that world. Nothing to do with it. Bye. ]

Whoa, hey— can you make sure she's not falling out?

[ She turns her back to Terry so he can reposition Umi and make sure the cat's not going to tumble out if Kido walks too fast. Why can't Umi be a normal cat who'll just curl up nice and neat without making any trouble ]

--Huh?

[ Terry doesn't have time to use pinpointing when she asks, so he absolutely no idea what she's talking about. ]

Who's falling out?

Uh...

[ Kido just sort of hover hands behind her neck as best she can. ]

I don't know her name.

Falling out of what though?

[ ???

Umi keeps sitting like a human because that's what she does and gives absolutely no fucks. Her siblings behave better than she does, because she's pretty much a yolo "i do what i want" kind of kitten. ]

[ A kitten who takes after her owner... Terry's a bad influence. ]

What, are you blind? What else is there in front of you but my hood? Make sure your cat's sitting properly and won't fall out, because I won't be able to see her when we walk.

[ She was like that before he adopted her okay... Terry blinks when she mentioned about him being blind because lol but he'll do his best to guess where her hood is and then scoops Umi, puts her in a normal lying down position, and withdraws his hands.

Good try without pinpointing! Nice. ]

There. Let's keep going.

[ And he made no attempt to correct the behavior... But so long as she doesn't accidentally drop the kitten and hurt her, Kido will have to be satisfied with this much, placing her hands back in her pockets and pushing down a little so the collar doesn't catch against her neck so much. ]

Alright, let's go. What was I yelling at you before this?

[ It has to be something, because she's feeling irritated and it can't all be because of the cat. ]

[ Let's see... ]

You were scolding me about my jumping and falling habits, but I think that one's done.

[ Habits in plural, god. Yeah, she can feel the anger bubbling up again, so that must be it. ]

I won't beat a dead horse, then, so long as you know... But speaking of falling, is it enough to wear a jacket that zips up the front, then you can open it and use it to create drag?

[ At least try to parachute yourself instead of freefalling and slamming into the ground every time. ]

Oh, you can do that?

[ Terry seems to consider that for a moment. In case of falling, he would usually land on his feet or not have enough time to think about what Kido suggested. But, well. He supposes it's worth a shot. ]

I'll try that out then. When I get a jacket that has a front zipper anyway.

[ Kido whips around to stomp on his foot. ]

No, in the first place, there's no reason to be jumping around, is there?!!

[ Terry was in the middle of walking, so he ends up tripping when Kido stomps on his foot and hits his head on a nearby tree.

He would have cartwheeled or something back to a standing position, but. Foot. ]

[ It's been a while since Kido almost killed Terry. She would have thought he'd throw his hands out or something if there were a tree right there, but it's too late for that so she just hovers by his side in a panic. ]

Oy! Hey— you're not bleeding, are you?! Turn and look at me?

[ Terry feels like his head is spinning, so he can't really tell for sure where Kido is right now even though he can hear her. ]

Kido, put your hand on my shoulder. I can't tell where anything is right now...

[ Oh god, Terry has brain damage. Again.

Kido resists the urge to shake his shoulders and rattle his brain any more than she already has, and crouches down in front of him instead, one hand on his shoulder and the other pushing his bangs off his forehead to see if anything's bleeding. ]

We can sit for a bit, okay? Do you need anything iced? I can call Nekogami out, if so...

[ Terry still has his eyes shut because he feels like balance is suddenly no longer a thing, but when Kido moves the bangs, his forehead is a little red, but nothing that suggests bleeding nor internal bleeding. Demigod clone body composition is great! Except when it starts bleeding. Terry can honestly handle this fine, but he doesn't want to make Kido feel useless, so. ]

Yeah, some ice would be good.

[ He probably would have dealt with this better if he could see, but alas. ]

Alright. Lie down for a bit.

[ Kido gets up onto her feet and calls her Persona out, the ghost cat making to stand on Kido's shoulders but sees another cat already in there. He gives her a look, before hopping down onto the ground to sit by her feet, hissing a little at Terry. ]

[ bongogami.... he's sorry... please forgive him of his transgression of turning you into a shooting star

Terry hears that hissing and that's definitely familiar. He sighs before lying down. ]

Is he still mad at me...

No.

[ Probably. Yeah he is.

Kido reaches behind her to deposit Umi onto Terry's chest before pulling her purple hoodie off so Nekogami can make chunks of ice form in the hoodie. She folds it so that nothing in the pockets will get wet as the ice melts and the jacket won't trail on the ground and get dirty as she sets it over Terry's eyes and forehead. ]

Sorry, I don't have anything else to wrap it in, so this'll have to do as an ice pack for now. We can sit around until you feel better.

Thanks, Kido... it shouldn't take too long.

[ He quietly breathes out and he's quiet as he tries to pinpoint the reason why Nekogami is mad at him and how he can make up for it. Having those dream needles flung toward him was kinda scary. ]
