♥ ☽ stumblin', but yeah i'm still lookin' hella fine
Who: Yukari and everyone.
Where: She'll be reappearing on the beach, then making her way back down into the city via elevator and towards the Coral. So anywhere you'd like to run into her in between there!
When: Late evening/close to midnight
Style: I'll match! I'm up for either--action spam or prose.
Status: Open!
[The last thing Yukari ever expected, was needing to rely on someone else for healing. Or in Vatheon's case, something else--like the Coral. She'd always healed herself. People relied on her for healing. But it just can't be helped, in her condition: she's soaked, her clothes are torn, and there is a fair amount of blood indicating a very heavy and intense battle.
...And what a battle it was.
She doesn't want to think about it much, though; it hurts to think how badly she'd lost. It angers her, even; how incredibly unfair. How dare she, how dare she...?]
Damn--! [Her fist slams into the sand of the beach where she's ended up, and she stumbles to her feet.
Then she sighs, remembering.
Remembering Vatheon. Remembering how much weaker she is here. Diarahan wouldn't cut it in the long run; so she knows she should make her way to the Coral as fast as possible before anyone sees her.
A heal, a change of clothes, maybe--
Once again, she's forced to put everything behind her; because Aigis had won, and now she'd have to live with knowing that.]
How long...?
[--has she been gone?
This is the first that's ever happened to her. It's so disorienting, but she decides maybe that's not the most important thing right now. Annoyed and highly emotional as she is, she sighs again and walks towards the elevator, occasionally wincing.]
Nngh.
[...Time to find her own answers here, she supposes. She doesn't need a replacement leader to do that.]

no subject
[... Not necessarily the truth.
Then again, he has difficulty deciding what is the truth lately.]
Though I suppose I'm simply not in the mood tonight.
no subject
[Not in the mood. Not too many things are more irritating than being in the company of someone just as stubborn as you, so maybe she never really would be. But with the Coral alleviating her pain...
Maybe she'd have a bit more luck with it.]
Well, your turn, I guess.
[She takes a step back with a fold of her arms. He was here to replenish his energy too, she assumes. And meanwhile she just sort of waits.
And thinks.]
no subject
What are you supposed to do when you know your instincts are wrong?]
How kind.
[As Yukari just did, he reaches for the Coral, his eyes flashing red.]
no subject
Was that sarcasm?
[She folds her arms, letting out a dry chuckle as she watches him. She notices his eyes flash red--pretty alarming, at first, since it reminds her of the eyes of a Shadow.
But she shakes it off.]
no subject
What do you think?
[... That's probably for the best. He's received one too many negative reactions to his eyes.]
no subject
Heh. She gets the feeling it's a rhetorical question, but she finds herself answering it anyway.]
...I dunno. Guess I can't read your mind anymore.
[She can't help but feel a bit disappointed at that. Though on the bright side, this means he can't read hers either.]
no subject
[He did not appreciate that curse.
... As for what occurred during it, the jury's still out on that.]
no subject
Now that she thinks about it, she supposes she paid more attention to what was on others' minds, rather than her own. It did bother her, though, true--
She didn't need anyone prying into her thoughts; so she can't find any room to argue.]
Mmm. [Hmpf. A mumble of agreement and she turns once he's done, getting ready to leave, if there's nothing else for them.] Isn't it just.
no subject
Though it's rather pitiful if you have to rely on reading others' thoughts to understand them.
no subject
Not even with the Coral's magic. Tch--]
It certainly helps, though, doesn't it? It's a bit like cheating.
[...]
Though, I don't...really wanna cheat anymore.
no subject
[He's fine with whatever people are willing to tell him. A deeper understanding has never been necessary.]
... Oh?
no subject
A deeper understanding may not be necessary in all cases, but...it isn't about necessity. It's about want. And she imagines Tiir must wonder sometimes, why people do what they do--good or bad, justice or not.]
Well, yeah.
I...I mean, I want to understand people, other than just myself. [She finally realizes that'll only get you so far--] ...And I don't mean just humans.
no subject
[It's a reflex—to simply respond with a smug comment.
... Now, though, he wonders if he honestly doesn't believe her.]
no subject
...Luckily, she can just pass off the wince as a reaction to her injuries. Even if she has touched the coral, some of the pain still lingers.]
You don't believe me.
[Even if he isn't sure about it, that's the only impression she has at the moment.]
no subject
However, the truth of the matter is that he doesn't know what to believe in.]
Perhaps. What brings this on? I prefer not to take such things at face value.
no subject
[She's being honest here for once, because she's not sure if there was something specific--or if maybe she'd wanted it all along.]
Maybe it wasn't anything specific at all. But it'd make things a lot easier, for both sides.
[Understanding each other--
That seems basic, but perhaps she'd taken it for granted.]
... I THOUGHT I'D REPLIED TO THIS aslkdk
... That may be so, but it's hardly so simple.
LOL no worries <33
Everyone would communicate, and just know things. But they aren't that lucky. Her tone is a bit colder and blunt.]
What would you suggest, then?
<333
... Are you actually asking me? I've given up on humans, in case you've forgotten.
[... Though now, he's trying to believe in them for the first time.]
no subject
She only thinks of before, when he continuously tried to tell her that she'd give up on him. Eventually.]
So you keep saying.
no subject
no subject
[She doesn't know what to say to that. It's not exactly an argument she's looking to have, nor would she even know where to begin refuting, since she's only just starting to get her bearings again.
She does walk on, though, wanting to head back towards the Volo Dorms before anyone else had a chance to see her like this.
She doesn't really care whether Tiir follows or not.]
