3rd kick: voice/action for house 11

[When Crys arrives back at the house late at night, she pretty much looks like a wreck. She just looks plain exhausted, and her left arm is in a sling. The rest of her is spotted with a few bruises and small scrapes, but nothing too horrible aside from her arm. As she walks up to the house, she notices the... weird ice wall? And stares in disbelief before walking in. Why she didn't notice it sooner, we may never know. Anyway, walking back into the house now. Mega walks with her for support as Crys closes the door. Unconsciously, she speaks to nothing.]

I'm home...

[Except everyone is asleep. Whoops. Mega nudges her gently with her head, and Crys pats her back. Letting out a tired sigh, she'll just walk to the kitchen and get some water or something. And sits down with her good hand covering her face.]

[Voice]

[Much later in the day on the 24th, and at a more reasonable time than midnight, she opens up the journal and pauses for a bit. She sounds a little tired, taking a deep breath before speaking.]

Has being here changed anyone?

Do you really have to ask?

Apparently, yes.

Trapped. Experiments. Kidnapping. War. [Isn't the answer obvious?]

[... stupid question was stupid.] .... I'm sorry, I should've know.

[She went through the same thing, after all.]

...But despite that, it makes you stronger. It makes you open your eyes and see what's really important.

[And that's the biggest reason to hate it.]

[That makes her speechless for a bit. Stronger, huh... she scoots over a bit on her bed to make room for Silver to sit.]

So you realized what's important, then. [Don't think she doesn't know what that means.]

[For a moment he's tempted to come up with some dodgy, evasive answer. For a moment, he simply stares at Crys, a bit speechless himself.

And then the moment passes, and he slowly smiles and nods. It's a small smile. It's a smile that doesn't particularly look like a happy one. There's something distinctly bittersweet about it...

...But before Crys gets the chance to look into it for very long, Silver falls backwards onto her bed. The gesture makes a pretty big statement about what he considers important.]

[She... thought something looked a little off about the smile, but it didn't last very long. Hard to read him again...

Though she smiles a bit when he flops onto her bed.] Still tired, huh?

Not sure if tired's the right word for it. [His leg and standing don't exactly get along, okay. If he's stuck in the house, he at least wants it to heal as fast as possible.]

How's your arm?

[She looks down at his leg.] Is it getting better?

[Damn you. She just gives him a little smile.] Slowly healing.

Good. [Good, she's healing.

...But he can't just leave it at that.] My leg's gonna be fine in a couple of [weeks] days.

[Her eyes widen a bit in shock.] That quickly? It looked a lot worse... guess it isn't.

I told you it's nothing to worry about.

Hey, when one of my best friends gets bitten, I think I can worry.

I've got bitten plenty of times.

Not often by the weird monsters here, I hope. [Incoming lecture.]

[...Now seems like a good time to turn over and bury his face in Crys' bed.]

[Why are you... oh hell no.] Have you been injured by them a lot more, then!?

[She... should scold you. But that's not exactly something you can help.]

No. [He's being sincere this time. He's just not exactly peachy with the fussing.]

[For now, you'll get off easy.] If you say so. But let's hope you can be careful.

[Says the girl with her arm in a sling.]

You should practice what you preach.

[... yeah, she should've just kept her mouth shut. And since she didn't, Crys is certainly not saying much now.]

... guess I should, huh.

These things happen. [It has nothing to do with who should do what.]

[Yeah, too bad she's still learning all this.]

... yeah, that's true.

[...And now he sits up and looks over at Crys... Before putting a hand on her head. Yep, you got that right, Silver's headpatting Crys.]

Cheer up, alright? Everything's gonna be okay.
