[ The last thing he remembers is spreading his arms out in a sign of release. It's done and over with. His sword is about to fall. Totsuka had been avenged and he is more than aware of the consequences. Then it's the cold feel of metal going right through him and the scent and warmth of the blue king being the last thing he feels. Then he closes his eyes and feels nothing else. He doesn't hate him for it. He knows it's an act of mercy.

Suoh never thought dying would be like being immersed in water.

He doesn't let these things get to him. He never does. The minute he opens his eyes, he's soaking wet and there's blood seeping into his shirt. When he steps forward, he teeters slightly before he catches himself against the side of a nearby building. Then the pain hits again and his hand moves to where that saber blade went in through him. Already, he knows there's something distinctly wrong. Hell isn't a city underwater. The welcome pamphlet is only glanced at, confirming his suspicions. Somehow, he's escaped it. He's escaped death and it's a little overwhelming. But where to now? His Sword's gone. He saw it disappear.

With that on his mind, Suoh staggers forward. No sense fretting about it now. For now, he has to find the others. ]

[He might be small, but he's strong. Certainly enough to take some of the redhead's weight anyway... if he were going to accept the help, which it seems like he's not.]

Yeah. I've used it before.

[ignisinfernale]

[ Fine, he'll accept the assistance if only due to the fact it's getting harder to walk and the last thing he wants is to pass out in front of this kid. Not very manly at all. Not befitting of a king. He's not going to be that difficult given the circumstances. ]

Guess it's more useful than it looks...

[coolerthansora]

Yeah, some.

[Roxas puts an arm solidly around the newcomer and steers them back towards the coral. He offers a smile.]

I'm Roxas.

[ignisinfernale]

[ Okay, so this kid is pretty hardy and he does appreciate it but man, how the mighty have fallen. Sorry, Roxas. He was never really one for smiling but this little good turn is appreciated and will be repaid on a later date when the kid needs it. ]

...Mikoto. Mikoto Suoh.

[coolerthansora]

Nice to meet you. Sorry you got stuck here though.

[He doesn't seem too freaked out about the whole underwater bubble deal, but then again the bloodloss is probably taking priority.]

[ignisinfernale]

[ Truth be told, nothing really freaks Mikoto out. Not even the fact that a bunch of jellyfish just floated by overhead. He'll get over it. For now though, he really has no idea what else to say to that. So... he'll take it in stride. Priorities right now are the gaping wound and getting a bigger picture of where he is now. ]

This happened to you too?

[coolerthansora]

Uh-huh. It's happened to a lot of people. I don't really mind though.

[Back in the plaza. Just a little farther to the coral.]

[ignisinfernale]

You sound like you actually like the idea.

[ So there were people who really didn't mind the sudden kidnapping. Even curious was the way some seemed resigned to their fate. Maybe Roxas had a different story. That coral's quite a curious thing though. ]

[coolerthansora]

Well, I'm not really... around anymore, back home. Here I can be with my friends.

[He helps Mikoto up to the coral and gestures for him to go on and touch it.]

[ignisinfernale]

[ There's a small frown there. Not around back home. Sounds like him. ]

Guess it happens more often than you think.

[ His friends. It would probably all have to depend if his friends are here to begin with. Ah hell. As long as they're safe. Suoh focuses on the coral though before reaching out and touching it.

...oh hey. Guess it really does work. Fancy that. ]

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas gives him a thoughtful look at that remark. Between that and the wound... maybe he figured he'd be dead soon back home.

But he doesn't voice it.]

Feeling better?

[ignisinfernale]

Aa.

[ There's a moment's pause as he clenches his fist, frowning slightly. The coral wasn't enough to return his fire. Well, okay, maybe that was to be expected. He'd live though. ]

How long have you been here?

[coolerthansora]

Since April.

...I guess that's about ten months. [He'll be coming up on a year before too much longer. How about that.]
