twelfth breath ✧ action

[musubi]

[There's a... cheerful(?!) Isamu standing near the clinic with his arms crossed. He's watching the street with bright eyes.

He's hoping to see someone injured. So he can help them.

No, really. Approach at your own risk.]

[Oh look, it's Isamu.

Naoki's going to veer over toward him, just heading back home from his shift at the library. No, the volunteering wasn't because of any influence, he's always like this.]

Hey, what's up?

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Naoki! [You see this look? This is the 'I'm about to ask you to do crazy shit for me' look. And he's grinning.]

Are you hurt? Can you go get hurt? ...Just a little bit.

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

[Naoki pauses, staring at him.]

I--what? Hold on, I think I misheard you. [Tilting his head on an angle just in case he's got water in his ears or something.] Now, what were you asking?

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

I asked if you were hurt. [Smile.]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

[Headtilt.] Ah, no. Why?

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Are you sure? No bruises? Nothing sore?

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure, yeah. Did something happen?

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Nah... More's the pity...

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

Hm? Don't tell me you wanted something to be happening.

[Richard recognizes this fellow as Naoki's friend, the one who was dozing next to him at the Tanabata festival. Well, now that Isamu isn't asleep, Richard might as well introduce himself.]

You're Isamu, correct?

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's me. You hurt? [A question like that generally shouldn't be accompanied by the sort of smile he's currently giving.]

[ledbythewind]

I don't believe so; why do you ask? Am I bleeding?

[... well, this is not what he was expecting, that's for sure.]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

No, but this is the clinic. [He jerks a thumb toward the building behind him.]

[ledbythewind]

I wasn't headed towards the clinic, just walking past it. Do you work there?

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

I don't normally, no. Just felt like hanging out here today.

[Because, you know, standing outside the clinic watching people go by is completely normal behavior.]

[ledbythewind]

In any case, I'm Richard, Naoki's friend. I don't know whether he's mentioned me to you or not, but I figured I might as well introduce myself.

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Of course. Half of Luceti's on good terms with Naoki, so I'm not really surprised.

[Have a turtle sneaking up behind you 'cause it's funny. He'll talk louder than normal, too, just to startle you.]

Hey Dumbass. [It's probably not a good idea to be around you with those tantalizingly ugly deep tissue bruises on his shoulders while you're busy playing Marie Curie and he's the Worst Patient Ever. Go ahead, try healing him. He dares you.] You and me gotta have a few words.

[Jumps! But is smiling again almost immediately, completely ignoring Raph's tone.] S'up, Sensei.

[He points.] You should have me look at that.

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

What, you take your Prozac today? [He frowns. Someone else obviously didn't.] We been over this. No.

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Come on, man. I could really use the practice, and you'll feel better! ...Probably.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

"Probably" he says. Yeah, no. I'll pass.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Aw, come on. Don't be like that.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

I'll be how I wanna be. And you better watch it, 'cause I owe ya an ass kicking. [Yes, that's what this's about.]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

What? Dude, you asked me for help. You were the one being a stubborn dumbass.
