Sometimes the soul yearns for something unreasonable

Something insane

[blxxditout]

"Here, here—lean on me like this! Easy does it, I’ll get ya somewhere safe."

Or

"Well ain’t this just lovely…!"

From Shiki via "Injured RP Starters"

Steam rises from his arms, or is it smoke? Something smells like it’s burning… The fissures erected on his arms start to crumble to dust, carried by the wind as the tengū steps forward to pick him up. Sid can hardly move his arms, his chest isn’t in a better place either, it feels like he’s been shot by a ball again but worse. This isn’t as devastating however, but hey, he survived didn’t he? He should’ve called for help when he could, who was he, thinking he could take care of that all by himself? The “that” in question lays a ways back, torn to shreds when this delightful little birdy came flying by.

Whoever this is… have they met before? Certainly feels that way.

The fleeting adrenaline makes him want to jerk away, but a bit of respite is what he needs right about now. Sid lets him be as he’s ferried away by the other, to “somewhere safe” wherever that may be. Hopefully it’s somewhere warm… he can’t help but feel a little chilly right now. His arms, in their mangled state, return to looking as they were though his sleeves may be torn and his pale skin rendered a soot black up to the bicep. In the stranger’s side, he leans against his skinny frame and does his best to not drag his feet or to loll his arms about. It’s so odd, the feeling them is all but connected, as if he’d been sleeping on them this whole time.

“Thanks”, he manages to get it out before giving that diminishing devil one last glance over his shoulder. He can ask his questions after he recovers, and spiriting away with the other here.

-> shikiya of @corvid-lullaby has sent: ❰❰ CHIN ❱❱ & ❰❰ FREE ❱❱

It was a blur, in truth, he can't remember much of what had happened at all. Other than that it was his own fault-- no, that isn't true at all. His captors had accounted for his strength as a warrior, they knew what they were dealing with after having watched for so long. Though as powerful as he was, he was not nigh invincible, and on top of that who's to say that they did not receive the aid of an ascian? Ah but, this is familiar isn't it? Something he recalls from when he still went under that accursed name, oh the shame that it brought... the added disdain from their eyes. He's still a bit sluggish, as he lays there in the dark, only turning his head to the side when the door opens again.

Ah, splendid, another session. Another hour spent agonizing over his own shortcoming. Failure. Alas, the binds that have left his arms and wrists raw with burns become slack as the silhouette encompasses him, engulfed by the shadow as light floods in. When his arms are free, he expects to feel rough hands upon him to grab him and drag him elsewhere. Perhaps they've finally noticed his absence and have sent for his rescue. Although, he had not counted that an old crow would be among the number to fly to his aid. The blade that finds itself beneath his chin is a cool and welcomed as it guides his sight to him.

It's enough to make him laugh, seeing his foe here, blocking the light with his shadow. However, there isn't so much as a sound that escapes his dry lips, he hardly makes a sound at all as his expression changes to best speak for his confusion. Banishes it, he does, not wanting to become washed with the tremendous feeling exploding from within his chest. The warrior forgets to breathe, lacks the memory of what it was to take that first breath of air. The coldness of his eyes begin to thaw, and from the heart of the condensation comes the tears of joy. Bane expels wind through his nose, as a smile curdles like blood on his face. Those striking blue hues replenish with that haughty aura that the assassin has come to know.

"Here I thought... you'd all but forgotten", he croaks, his voice is hoarse. Any louder and he might've coughed.

[ WALL ]:     sender slams the receiver against a wall during a fight/sparring match.

From Shiki @corvid-lullaby

I wanted to send the entire list ngl...

The Warrior's helmet clamors as he is slammed back into the wall, to think that he could be moved so fiercely while within arm's length of his adversary comes as surprise to him really. Bane masks it well with the helmet's visor lowered and a hiss of air through his teeth as he readies himself for the crow's next move. His muscles tense, a quiet ache singing to him as he lifts his axe in a readied stance as he moves past the initial stun he was left in. How long were they going at this for? What might've been mere moments felt like hours, especially since there were few foes who could get him so worked up like this. The primal conquering hero's being worked over by quite the assassin, as if holding a penchant for his very head. To whom fights him so ferociously? To whom could this be, daring to challenge he who felled Ifrit and Titan?

Doesn't matter. Either way, those were two gods, this was just a man. A man could bleed, and thus, be killed. His grip tightens around the handle as he pushes himself off the wall to go again. Should he come at him, the Warrior of Light will meet him with the fury of his inner beast. Lowering his blade for the next maiming swing, he lets out a low growl as he charges on forward.

there's more to the story, but you're not supposed to hear it.

From Shiki @corvid-lullaby

"Why, pray tell, is that?", he asks, his eyes drawn in a tight narrow as he stares. What more could there be? The question shackles itself to his shoulder to join the other weights lined across his spine. Does the other intend to damn him with the anticipation?

"If you're not going to tell me, why bother to bring it up?", he'd grouse, irritation singing its merry tune in the gravel of his voice. What more could there be, that has not already been explained, or rather withheld? Bane imagines it to be something cryptic, along the lines of 'This path will kill you, Warrior'. He could've guessed that, what with the trouble he's faced on behalf of the Scions and for all of Eorzea. The rhetoric would not be so grating were he to hear it from someone else, but the fact that Sojobo is the one to break this to him is... concerning, to say the least.

"You've got a big 'keep out' sign stapled on your forehead." From Shiki @corvid-lullaby

"That hasn't stopped you now, has it?", he smirks, as much of a smirk as it could be called with how slight the quirk of his lip was. It almost looks like he doesn't know how to, or, is doing it in a way only reminiscent of a spoiled rich kid. This wouldn't be the first time he's hearing of his prickly nature and attitude, in fact, his mentor does a grand job of reminding him whenever they enter venues or work with others. If there was a way to possibly communicate that to other people. In nature, hostile behavior is supposed to ward others off, but somehow it has only gathered the company he finds himself in now. He's unsure of why they bother to stick around.

"I would've moved to the floor but you were using me as a pillow." "I have to pee so bad please get up."

From Shiki @corvid-lullaby

The cushion of cotton was not what he was resting on? A quick glance to the side reveals that the assassin was telling him the truth. Last he recalled, he had his back to him. When did he... he must've rolled to face him in his sleep. How embarrassing. He has no problem with complying just this once, on behalf of not wanting the bed to be sullied by the other. Bane shakes his head, before shifting to sit up and release him from his 'grasp'. Just as easily, he could've shoved him off, but the Warrior can't fathom why he did not do that instead of waiting for him to stir. Was he stupid? Or was it that Bane couldn't fathom the other treating him kindly while they were forced into this situation.

"Go", he scoffed.

At long last, he'd have the bed to himself, and moreover he could roll himself onto the side where Shikiya had been sleeping to hog his warmth. Though, that would likely last all but for a few moments. It was first light, and he could not ignore the sun's reaching rays after the night's good sleep. There was something else too... a fact that he would not care to admit. That... had to be some of the best rest he's received in a fortnight. The thought makes him scowl.

[snowfallcn]

"So, you're finally awake." From Shiki @corvid-lullaby I'm sorry he knows his memes and will weaponize them lmao.

He had just stirred from his slumber, his eyes closed and relaxed had all but fluttered open when he heard the voice of his begrudged adversary at his side. For all but a moment, Bane had been at ease, but now that he was finally awake his sleepy gaze had steeled itself. The warrior's brow creased into it's familiar frown as he recalled the arrangement had for the tengu to be so close to his person. Ordinarily he would've detested the very idea, alas there were only so many options to choose from. This was a temporary sight, one that would end as soon as either of them moved, but just as well this begged the question:

Why did he stay long enough for him to wake up?

Had he nowhere else to be? On the contrary, Bane had half expected something sharp to acquaint itself with his larynx or for a sharp pain to be met to his chest. He brings a hand to his face, to rub at his eyes so that he might be seeing this clearly. If the gods were good, he would still be asleep and caught in the height of a peculiar dream. That would be delusional, as he knew when he was awake and when he was not. The weight of his journey would not otherwise hang so heavily in his limbs, calling him to remain laying in bed with his enemy.

"So I am", he settles for saying as he sighs, resting his head back down on the comfortable pillow beneath him.

[snowfallcn]

"Well they weren't bloody yours to hog all of last night, that's for certain", he scowled, folding his arms at the tengu whilst he proceeded to recollect what went down while they retired for the evening together. As a last resort, and were it not, Sojobo would be the last person he would've wished to slept with. His nose wrinkled some as he sneered.

"What was I supposed to do when you removed my only means of keeping warm?", but they were soft, and truly, if he had so desired, he could've woken the other up for that fist fight. But too tired and too weary from the events of last eve, Bane had elected not to bruise his bedmate, just this once. The little pat to his head causes him to unfold his arms to push it away.

"Only ever in your dreams", the thought makes him seethe, but there is a slight curl to his lips as he speaks them.

"I almost fist-fought you last night when you took the blanket."

-> @snowfallcn

"HA-almost? C'mon, I know you ain't that much of a push over. Besides, who said they were yours?"

The crow leaned in close, giving the other a playful smile. "...Or maybe you weren't cold at all without it? If I remember right, you seemed pretty damn content bein' all cuddled up to my wings in your sleep."

Just to dig into the wound he was attempting to make, Shikiya let his wings out once again. He made sure to let one gently pap atop Bane's head to rest there. "Or are ya askin' for another chance at some cuddling?"
