Busted: Your character will catch mine doing something they shouldn’t.

         Pain. That was the first thing he registered. He sat up, wiping sleep from his eyes with the back of his hand. 

           He was still in the Armstrong estate. He could tell that much before he was even fully lucid; the bed was too big, and too soft - There WAS a bed, instead of the ground; It was too warm, with no wind or rain, but not warm enough to be home; Everything smelled faintly of some sort of flowery soap. It was strange. 

             With a strained grunt, he pushed himself out of bed, ignoring the protest of a body convinced it was dead. Through the massive windows in the room he’d been given, the very first rays of butter-yellow and fiery orange sun were just beginning to spill across the floor. He glanced towards the door for only a moment - it was closed, and he heard no footsteps approaching - before kneeling before the window and closing his eyes. He let his mind go towards those he was thankful for - Mother and Father and Master and Dear Older Brother; To his travelling companions - Mei and her cat- Ah, panda, Dr. Marcoh, Jerso, Zampano, and, yes, even Yoki; To the Ishvalans he had met along the way, who had shown him kindness even after he had thought himself condemned; He thought to Major Miles, working to make the country better in spite of what it had done to their people; To Greed the Avaricious, who had overcome the very nature of what he was to save those he cared about, and he thought of everyone he had fought alongside during the Promised Day. He shifted his weight forward, bowing forehead to floor and gritting his teeth as the stab wound in his abdomen screamed at him to stop. Even when on the run, he had never missed morning prayer. He had no idea if Ishvala would hear the requests of one such as himself, but he never gave up. It was the least he could do, right?

“You should be in bed.” The voice startled him, and he sat up suddenly, wincing and clutching his hand over the bandages on his abdomen. He looked to the side, and the stern face that greets him seemed almost too young to wear such an expression.

“You were heavy to carry out of there, you know. If you hurt yourself, I’m not carrying you back to bed.” She crossed her arms, and he snorted, but otherwise gave no reply. Another beat. Neither does she.

“I’ll go back when this is over.” He said finally, settling once more into a comfortable position. One more moment of silence.

“I can see why Mei likes you so much - you’re both so stubborn.” She muttered, more to herself than anyone else. He said nothing.

Put a “Tell me" in my ask and my character will answer…
