Recovery - (backdated into oblivion)
Who: Zelos and Zelda (and anyone else who might visit while Zelos is holed up. Please talk to me first)
Where: Ordo 3
When: 11/3 morning
Status: Closed
[It's an hour after dawn when Zelos finally shows up at Ordo again. This wouldn't be odd normally - the Chosen is often out at all hours owing to his much truncated necessity for sleep, but this time it's his first sojourn back home in a week, since the first time the fairies had melted into nightmares.
He's quiet when he enters, not wanting to disturb the other residents if they were able to get sleep, a small pang of guilt gnawing at him as it occurs that Zelda may have had a curse of her own. He hadn't thought about it all week, too wrapped up in his own lack of self worth. And really it just goes to show how his thinking is right. He's selfish and should have thought-
No.
Stop.
Breathe.
He seats himself at the kitchen table, taking a long breath and closing his eyes, trying to relocate that center Sheena had guided him to, that place where he still wasn't the greatest, but he wasn't completely terrible either. What Guy had said before, when he'd come back to life.
For once, he tries just to let himself be human.
That's likely how Zelda finds him. Leaning a bit on his arms on the table, eyes closed and hair partially obscuring his expression.]

[She's huffing, but she's not really all that mad with him. It's nice to see him laughing again. The fact that he got incredibly smashed and kissed her isn't something that bothers her a lot anymore, she's sorted out her feelings for him since then.]
no subject
[Zelos is possessed of an excellent memory, sometimes too excellent for his own tastes, but the amount of alcohol it takes him to get drunk is definitely enough to cause blackouts in anyone and alcohol poisoning in most. So it's really no wonder that it takes him a long moment to recall just what Zelda might be talking about.
Zelos blushing is a rare sight. Enjoy it while you can, Zelda.]
It's not like that! You're like my sister!
no subject
I feel that way, too.
no subject
[This.. isn't what he expected out of this conversation in the slightest, even if it does kind of make him feel even a bit better. Still, better get it back on track. He rises from his seat at the table, patting her shoulder awkwardly.]
I've got something to take care of, but I'll be back before tonight, alright? I, ah... well, sharing isn't really something I'm willing to do with this, but I'll be here, anyway.
[Still awkward. And he knows he simply can't share with Zelda like he knows she'd prefer. Setting Guy's head back on straight though? At least that he can do, and maybe not feel so undeserving of those familial feelings they'd both just admitted to.]
no subject
[He doesn't have to say that he doesn't want to share. She can already guess what his nightmares entail anyway, though if he's around tonight she'll be more than a little surprised to see the physical resemblance between herself and his mother.]
If you're going out, wait a moment.
[She reaches up to heal his eyes the rest of the way. It's one thing for him to come home looking like that, but going out that way is difficult for her to picture.]
no subject
Thanks. Can't believe I forgot about that!
[Really he can, the state of mind he's still trying to fight off, but at least he's actively trying again.]
I'll see you in awhile.
[Hopefully with Guy. He might need some black eyes healed too.
With a wave over his shoulder Zelos makes his way back into the early morning.]
