week 1 post execution

[greatdeduction]

[Yeah, this is. A place. To Have Kotetsu. THIS SURE IS A PLACE. THIS COUCH IS HELLA CURSED.]

[But he's just sitting against the edge of the couch on the floor, puffing away. Whenever Kotetsu rouses, he looks over.]

Ah, you're awake, are you.

[ Kotetsu didn't have much say in the couch and probably only mumbled something about not going to his room. The idiot didn't want to take his roommate's bed.

He casually turns his head to see Sholmes there, wincing a little. ]

Yeah... Kind of felt better when I wasn't.

[greatdeduction]

Of course. I've been in a similar situation.

[Irene is in crow form, preening at her feathers.]

Sleep is best in these circumstances. But with the pain, it's easier said than done.

[ Finley is just curled up next to the couch, of course, still in tiger form. Surprisingly. ]

I'll sleep more later.

[ Lazily, his hand lifts from where it was resting over his stomach and drops it so the back of his hand rests on Sholmes' shoulder, if he can reach. ]

How are you doing?

[greatdeduction]

Me?

[He remarks, with some surprise, at the touch to his shoulder, and then the question.]

Come now. I'm not the one with a whole wound in my stomach, am I?

[sponsoredby]

No, but...

[ He keeps his hand there, trying to find what he wants to say. ]

I don't think I'd be okay if our situations were reversed.

[greatdeduction]

...

[just]

[boggles at him]

But they aren't, so. Look, what are you worrying over me for? Come now. Don't be silly.

[ He extends his finger to poke Sholmes in the cheek. ]

So you're saying you're fine with me laying here like this?

[greatdeduction]

[Uses a hand to smack him away, lightly. Shoo.]

What do you think, hm?

[sponsoredby]

[ He lazily lifts his hand and pats Sholmes' shoulder softly. ]

I think it bothers you more than you want it to.

[ He closes his eyes, bringing his hand to rest on his stomach. Very gingerly in his action. ]

[greatdeduction]

Who is making deductions here, you, or I?

[HUFF HUFF >8I]

Don't push yourself. You'll need plenty of rest.

Am I not allowed?

[ He nudges him a little bit. ]

I will. But I still have a few things I needed to do.

[greatdeduction]

Not in this case, no.

[>8/]

...Well, good for you on that. Good to have your goals to work for.

[sponsoredby]

Even if you're the one that asked?

[ There's a wry little smile there. ]

I'll get what bedrest I can, but don't expect me to just stay laying here forever.

[greatdeduction]

[://////////////////]

Hmmph. Still don't know why you insist on not having your own bed, my dear fellow.

[sponsoredby]

I'm not going to kick my roommate off the bed. I already told her that she could have it.

[greatdeduction]

[GESTURES TO HIM]

You're INJURED.

[sponsoredby]

[ He opens an eye to look at him. ]

Would you feel better if we went there?

[greatdeduction]

You can't stay here all night, Mr. Kotetsu! You need a proper bed!

[sponsoredby]

Then where's she supposed to sleep?

[greatdeduction]

[mmmmmmmmmmm]

Why the blast do we have just one bed in these things?

[sponsoredby]

A cruel sense of humor from whoever brought us here.

[greatdeduction]

Indeed.

[Just bringing his knees up to lean over them.]

This whole mess seems like one large joke.

[sponsoredby]

I think a joke would hurt less.

[ But then, if Sholmes is paying mind, Finley nearby shifts to lion form as Kotetsu asks quietly: ]

...Was that the right choice?

[greatdeduction]

...

[He doesn't reply to that for a moment. But then he notices the shift - he has learned that the lion form tends to come with certain moods, and he looks over, his voice quiet.]

...Are you questioning whether it was right to do what you did?
