[ It is a dizzy, sick, and weak Xion that finally manages to make her way back into town after having been dropped off at the outskirts by her generous mallynappers. She'd so rather much not be out in the open right now, but she needs help and she knows it. The farthest she can make it is the fountain in the center of the village. That's where she collapses, curling up in a ball on the ground, leaning back against it.

For the first time in months, she's in full Organization regalia. She'd started to leave off the gloves and the dark cloak, just opting for the plain black uniform underneath and a different coat. But now it's all back, and the hood is up, the cowl hiding her hair and eyes in its shadow. Considering she never has her face covered these days, it's pretty obvious she's hiding for a reason.

She's shivering. Maybe if she curls up in a tiny enough ball and keeps her hands pressed down over her head -- maybe if she hides well enough -- no one will see her before she can gather up the strength to get the hell out of here. ]

(ooc; oh christ. I love you all but BED. tags tomorrow.)

[Guybrush assumes her hesitation is just because she feels achy from being sick. Still, he smiles at her.]

You look a little pale. Did the Malnosso give you a cold?

[fourteen]

[ ... so she still looks normal to him, at least. she visibly relaxes, smiling a bit in return. ]

Maybe. I just feel really achy and tired. And sort of like I haven't slept in a week. [ laughs weakly. ]

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Then having a bunch of doctors prod you probably isn't gonna help. Want me to help you get home so you can rest?

[fourteen]

[ smiles gratefully at him. ]

Yeah, if you wouldn't mind. It was hard just getting this far! Stupid Malnosso.

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

No problem!

[He reaches for her arm, so he can put it around his shoulder to help her up.]

[fourteen]

[ lets him take it and tries to put in a little effort with the whole getting to her feet thing, but she is genuinely pretty weak. Guybrush will find he's doing most of the work pulling her up. ]

Heh, sorry...

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

No problem!

Er... which way do we go?

[fourteen]

... good question. Do you think I should go to the clinic before I go home...?

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

I think you just need rest. You'd probably be better off at home.

[fourteen]

Mm, that sounds like a good idea. I live in community building 2.

[Aaaaw, that's so far away. He starts leading her in that direction.]

Alright, we'll be there in no time!

[fourteen]

[ gives him kind of a look. ]

It's pretty far, you know... are you sure you don't mind? I feel kind of bad making you go all the way over there.

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

It's no problem! I've always thought of myself as more of the gentlemanly sort of pirate. But not all dressed up in frilly outfits like Rottingham. More of the help-out-a-lady-in-need sort.

...Most of the time.

[fourteen]

... [ laughs a little. maybe she can get him to tell her stories along the way. it would pass the time, right? ]

Most of the time, huh? And who's Rottingham?

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

He's a foppish pirate who I met on Plunder Island. He stole an important map from me, and I had to get it back.

[fourteen]

Foppish? [ that's a new word. ] Wow. Your life really has been exciting.

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, my life is full of excitement. Foppish means he wears frilly, lacy clothes, and elaborate hair styles, and I think maybe makeup.
