everydayimsuffering[The Pcd flickers on, though all there is to see is blood dripping from somewhere and concrete. The sound hasn’t quite picked up yet, the video itself a little rough before suddenly the feed is thick with heavy breathing and a pained moan trapped behind grit teeth. This is followed by shoes sliding against gravel, and another soft sound of pain before a teenage boy comes into view of the video, slumped against the wall of a building.
His hands are gripping his left leg where, now that video is coming more into focus, an arrow has gone straight through and lodged itself in his thigh. His clothes look a little worse for wear, his cheek is bleeding, skin is red and raw.]
M-mokona? Where did you take me? I...Where is the princess?
[All in all the building seems to fit the setting he had been in before, but it isn’t the same, its different, and also devoid of strangers. Gritting his teeth again, he pushes himself to stand slowly, ignoring the pain in his leg as he limps. He moves further away from the camera but despite the slow movements he looks frantic, yelling at the top of his lungs in search of someone important to him.]
Princess? Princess!?

Not exactly, I can fight just fine with out it. But truly defending myself against someone who is armed would be easier with it. Is there a blacksmith in the area?

Date: 2012-01-18 08:06 am (UTC)I'll see what I can find.
[Or an island boy who dreamed of escaping with his friends on a hand made raft. Either one.]
I know someone who might able to help you.
[Maybe. And that was a big maybe. Because he wasn't sure how much Sango was going to be able to function in her day to day life without the use of her eye. He wasn't sure if making weapons was going to be in the cards any time soon.]

Date: 2012-01-18 07:49 pm (UTC)Thank you, I really would appreciate it.
[And that is even better. He's going to be so indebted to you Riku. You'll never get rid of him.]
I don't know what the currency is here, but I would be able to work for it if they needed anything done. Would you mind pointing me in their direction then?

Oh...Are they taking a break from forging then? That's alright. I'm sure I can manage without.

Something like that.

Date: 2012-01-19 02:38 am (UTC)Traditionally I'm an archaeologist, but I've been trained in martial arts as well as swordsman ship. I've repaired roofs, fixed vehicles...was a mercenary at one point and then I was an assistant in a cafe at one point. I've also done some detective work, but really it was just following the facts.
[There was more...but that was all he could really think of at the moment. Plus? you teach him something once, he will do anything in his power to do it correctly.]
Or...is it a little more complicated than that?

Tell you what, I'll talk to my friend about making you a sword if you help me out with a little roof repair.

Date: 2012-01-19 02:57 am (UTC)I can do that, just tell me when.

Date: 2012-01-19 02:59 am (UTC)[He's still trying to access the damage.]
In the mean time, anyone offer you a place to stay yet?

Date: 2012-01-20 01:44 am (UTC)It won't be on the top of my priority list, okay? Just. In the back of my mind. Now, did you have somewhere in mind?

Date: 2012-01-20 02:06 am (UTC)I just said you don't have to worry about it. [Seriously, Syao. You're more stubborn than Sora.]

Date: 2012-01-20 02:10 am (UTC)[Really, he's not worrying about it. He'll know how to repay you when the time comes.]

Date: 2012-01-20 07:05 am (UTC)[Turning and leading you in the direction he came from.]
Come on. I'll show you where you can stay.

Date: 2012-01-20 07:40 am (UTC)Alright, thank you.

There. That should help for now.

Date: 2012-01-21 01:47 am (UTC)Thank you. I was wondering where I could find one, but you've been so helpful I didn't want to bother you with the question of where.
