Sunshine is for basking in [Open]

[closedcircuit]

Who: Ky Kiske and Open!
Where: The island
When: October 17th, late afternoon
What: Ky might have gotten drunk with Zelos, and now he's going to sit in the sun.
Style: Use what you're comfortable with.
Status: There might be attempts at hugs with CR where there wouldn't usually be, since Ky is a cuddly drunk.

[Ky knows better than to try to do a patrol of any sort when he's drunk. It's the only firm time he'll willingly relieve himself of his duties, and for that reason it doesn't happen often, hasn't happened in the nine and a half months he's been in Vatheon. Now that it has, it feels kind of pleasant, like he's letting go of everything that's happened over the past month.

He takes himself to the island, where the sun feels wonderful on the fur of his ears and tail -- the parts of him that aren't human, he reflects -- to sprawl out on the ground on his stomach and bask it in, for a little while. He's more than open to conversation if anyone comes upon him, although for now he's actually quite self-content, one hand absently petting his own tail while he watches the water.]

[Well, look who's up on the basking rock? With half the city being turned into cuddly critters, Zelda's making a habit of coming up here a little more often this week. He'd probably enjoy it if the sun intensified, wouldn't he? She takes out her harp and begins to play the Sun's Song, settling not far from the fox. Just who was this?]

[closedcircuit]

[He rolls over to look at her, still clearly human and particularly so when she could see his face.]

Oh. Ahh...

[This feels awkward, but he doesn't really feel like yelling at her, so he'll just politely not.]

Hello.

[zelda_hylia]

[Zelda still doesn't know about the fight Johnny got into with Ky, or that he namedropped her. She does see that he looks to be much better, tough.]

Basking in the sun? I suppose that is something a fox would enjoy doing. You're lucky, we've been having a lot of rain lately.

[Whatever song she is playing seems to ramp up the intensity of the sun. It could almost be summer, now! In this spot at least.]

[closedcircuit]

[The sun feels very good, and his tail thumps once against the ground before he gives an embarrassed shrug.]

Quite lucky, I suppose.

[zelda_hylia]

[His discomfort is rubbing off on her just a bit, but she has been wondering about his condition. Any inspection she's doing is subtle enough that he's unlikely to notice it while intoxicated. Zelda keeps talking just a litlte to fill the silence.]

I'm a little envious. I wouldn't have minded a transformation like that. Or like Zelos's, he became a cat!

[It suits him so well. Her amusement is obvious.]

[closedcircuit]

You want to be transformed?

[At least it's harder for Ky to be pissy at her when he's like this, drunk and sitting in the sunshine.]

I don't think I like it much myself.

[A serious frown.]

I didn't think my body being my own was something I should have to miss.

[zelda_hylia]

I wouldn't want to be changed into anything terribly inconvenient, but different ears and a tail wouldn't be so terrible for a week.

[Still playing, she glances over at his arm. He hadn't approached her about it, but maybe he forgot?]

How is your arm feeling?

[closedcircuit]

I guess not terrible, but there's not really any advantage to it either.

[ He looks at his arm as well, and shrugs. ]

As expected, I think. Hope.

[ If it doesn't heal in the month, he doesn't know what he'll do. ]

[zelda_hylia]

Did you want me to heal it? I'm fairly certain any latent drugs should be cleared from your system by now.

[She'll only ask one more time. It doesn't seem like a good idea to her to leave Ky partially incapacitated, but if he's determined to heal on his own, she'll just leave it.]

[closedcircuit]

[ He looks surprised, and then unsure (and quite guilty). ]

Is alcohol a drug which would interfere?

1/2

[zelda_hylia]

Ah...?

[Wait, is that what that smell was? Ky? Drinking?!]

[not_heavens_adam]

[Yes, he was a bat, and maybe he couldn't see very well, but he was going to go up to the island and finally sit in the sunlight, goddammit!

The hardest thing was convincing someone to let the random bat go up to the island, but once he did...it was worth it.

It was bright.

But it was worth it.

It didn't take long to pick up on the familiar scent and the small bat took off, using all of his other senses to locate Ky amongst the sand.

Which was why Ky would now have this small bat landing on his back. And curling up there.]

[closedcircuit]

[Ky shook his head lightly, ears flicking back slightly at the sensation of something landing on him.

He was kind of unsure about it, but given that some people had turned into animals more thoroughly than others he wasn't going to be super fussed over it. Just a little uncertain.]

[not_heavens_adam]

[Johnny peered at the blurry outline of the foxy head with golden eyes. He had definitely landed in a warm, fuzzy, pile of Ky.]

Skree....

[And then a yawn and he's curled back up on Ky's tail, soaking in the warmth there and the warmth of the sun.]

[closedcircuit]

[Ky can't really say he understands why the bat has chosen to land on him, but he's careful to keep his tail still to let it rest there.]

[sorcery_fledgling]

[A trip to the island was in order, now that the sun was out. With the weather getting colder, not to mention the still healing wounds on her back, Rinoa avoids the ocean. She sticks to the beach, content to walk on it and try to get her thoughts in order.

That's when she spots Ky, sprawled out with his new animal appendages. She doesn't know him too well, but it seems rather... odd for him to be just laying around like this. Curious, she approaches him, cat tail swaying and ears perked.]

Ky?

[closedcircuit]

[He perks his head up, and offers her a smile, although it's a little tinged by sadness. Rinoa...he's sorry he failed you. But there's nothing he can do about it now, and they're both recovering, aren't they? He still has the arm in a cast, but most of the rest has healed up, and that's something he's used to for now.]

Aah, yes. Is there something I can do for you?

[Not that he can do it right now, most likely, but he can put it on a list.]

[sorcery_fledgling]

I was just wondering what you were doing up here. You okay?

[He had been hurt too, by that man. A broken arm. She supposes she was lucky in that regard, although she sported a still healing black eye and half a dozen gashes on her back.]

[closedcircuit]

I'm good. I'm just...taking the afternoon off and enjoying the sunshine.

Feel like joining me for a while?

[sorcery_fledgling]

Oh. Good! You should relax a bit.

[She nods and takes a seat next to him, minding her tail.]

It's a nice day. How you been feeling?

[closedcircuit]

[He tilts his head to the sun for a second, eyes closed, before he looks back at her.]

I'm a little drunk.

[Better to be honest, after all, and he's not trying to make a secret of it. And that's why he doesn't trust his good mood, but he'll still take it.]

[sorcery_fledgling]

You're drunk?

[She giggles at that.]

That's something I never pictured you doing.

[closedcircuit]

It happens, sometimes.

[He blinks back at her earnestly.]

When I drink.

[sorcery_fledgling]

[Oh God, she can't stop smiling for the life of her.]

Drunkenness usually happens when you drink, yes. Were you drinking alone?

[closedcircuit]

Nope! It was with Zelos.

[Ky considers that for a moment.]

I don't know why he stopped disliking me so much.
