❖ 009 // [Voice | Action]

[crisisrain]

[Somewhere not too far from the lake south of the town, Raven is struggling to keep his balance. He collapses against the trunk of a tree gasping for air in the freezing weather. In front of him, just out of reach of his foot, is his journal.] Swear I left this thing on the table... [His voice is barely heard as he slides down the trunk a little further, eventually his foot is it's just in range for him to kick book over.]

Hey guys... anyone... This old man could do with a little help, it kinda hurts. I don't know where I am, it's got some trees... snow... I think... [He moves slightly to get a better look at where he is.] Yeah lots of trees. I think that might be a lake over there somewhere, I don't know it's really, really cold and I'm... gettin' awful sleepy.

[There's a long moment of silence as Raven just sits in the snow back against the tree trunk once again, flicking through the journals pages as he tries to stop himself drifting into unconsciousness. He eventually mutters something just barely audible before throwing the open journal down next to him.]

I thought people weren't supposed ta remember these things.

...[Well fine, letting him go once he's on his feet. Raven can do it if he likes. He won't stop him]

[crisisrain]

[Raven just falls back to the ground. He's in a bad state you big meanie.]

Why'd it have ta be you of all people.

[fallenambitions]

[8| Says the person that's refusing to let Alexei help him]

Are you going keep complaining out here in the snow or are you going to let me take you in from the cold?

[crisisrain]

I'd rather die out 'ere in the cold than think I could trust you.

[fallenambitions]

Really. Well that would make your friends very unhappy if that happened.

[crisisrain]

I don't really wanna die either, but why should I trust ya?

[fallenambitions]

Idiot. You honestly think I would do something after you were taken away?

[crisisrain]

... Maybe.

What do ya plan on doin'. Not like I can move.

[fallenambitions]

Take you back to your room. [There was clarity in his voice, no nonsense to be heard from him.]

[crisisrain]

....

[crisisrain]

It is kinda cold out here.

[fallenambitions]

Finally cooperating? Good. [Attempting to assist Raven back on his feet again]

[crisisrain]

[Raven just glares angrily as he's helped up once again.]

I can't walk.

[fallenambitions]

Fine. [Okay Raven, you are unfortunately not a young skinny female navigator 8|. So, being carried is a last resort. He puts Raven arm around his shoulders, and then places his arm around Raven's back for support. If that doesn't work, he can hold onto his back.]

[crisisrain]

[Alexei is touching me D:! But fine, Raven's going to have you use as support otherwise he's going to end up face down in the snow again. Though he's not happy about it in the slightest.]

Why couldn't ya have been the nice Alexei.

[fallenambitions]

[He doesn't respond to that, but he's listening as they start making their slow, waddling way back to the village.]

[crisisrain]

Ya could've just told me from the start instead of lyin'. All you've done is gone and lost more trust.

[fallenambitions]

...You figured it out then. Heh, I'm not surprised.

[crisisrain]

I don't get it! Instead of just lyin' about the whole thing why didn't ya tell the truth?

[fallenambitions]

A lack of trust can go both ways, you know.

[crisisrain]

Have you changed?

[fallenambitions]

...

I don't know.

[crisisrain]

How can you not know?

[fallenambitions]

...[He's got nothing to say on this. He's been in conflict with himself for some time to give a proper response]

[crisisrain]

Do you want to change?
