This is the beginning

[A small object suddenly emerges from behind the horizon and blazes through the sky, followed by a comet-like trail. It crashes aboard the White Chalice's deck, revealing itself to be... a pair of humans clad in armor. The armor being Black Cloud and the Great Pretender, to be precise.]

I promised... to return...

1.
[Reactions for witnessing the crash come here. Devon and Laura's armors disappear almost immediately, and they lie down on the deck without strength to even get up. Exhausted, wounded and even somewhat singed they may look... but they are definitely alive and conscious.]

2.

[Some time later, once someone mercifully dragged Devon along to the medical bay - she'll be busy lying in bed and recuperating from the recent hell she went through. Still, the bandaged Shifter is good enough for visits.]

3.

[Same as #2, but for Laura. Just as Devon, she is worn out and injured, but the medical staff predicts she will make a full recovery soon enough. Although she has an eyepatch on.]

4.

[Locked to Cheng, and happening BEFORE prompt #2.

The Shifter still had some unfinished business before she could collapse. Mustering what little remains of her strength, she stumbled in a zombie-like gait to wherever her husband was at the time.

And once she makes it there, she just stands in the doorway. And stares.]

Seiren...

'm sorry. Scared you...
minorbeat: (Crying)

[personal profile] minorbeat 2012-05-20 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
(Seiren runs up to Laura and hugs her tightly while crying tears of happiness.)

I thought I lost you! I thought I lost another of my precious people! I'm so happy to see you! You have no idea!
emorangerpink: (wistful)

[personal profile] emorangerpink 2012-05-20 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ouch. But Laura does her best to return the hug. Seiren needs it.]

You too. Wish we'd had more time to explain... wasn't sure it'd work, anyway. Had to try.

It's okay now.
minorbeat: (Smile)

[personal profile] minorbeat 2012-05-20 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
(Seiren releases the hug slightly and Laura gets treated to Seiren with a full blown and heartfelt smile on her face, tears are still running though. But it is okay, she hasn't been this happy in years!)

You're right. You scared me but I forgive you because you came back.

(Seiren hugs Laura again gently.)

Welcome back Laura.
emorangerpink: (smiling)

[personal profile] emorangerpink 2012-05-20 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[That gets a smile - tired and bruised, but genuine - from Laura in return.]

Good to be back. I'll try to stick around. Not scare you again.
minorbeat: (Smile)

[personal profile] minorbeat 2012-05-20 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
(Seiren releases the hug but stays close to Laura. Seiren wipes away her tears.)

Better not scare me like that again! Or I'll make you regret it! That's a promise!

Oh! Don't worry about your flower patch. I took care of it while you were gone. They seem to be about ready to bud too.

Is there anything you want? Water, tea, food?
emorangerpink: (Default)

[personal profile] emorangerpink 2012-05-20 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Laura shakes her head.]

Too tired for much but sleep. Maybe... tea... tea would be nice.

Those flowers mean a lot to me, Seiren... thank you.
minorbeat: (Smile)

[personal profile] minorbeat 2012-05-20 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry about it. I'm glad that you are able to come back to see them healthy.

Okay. I'll be right back.

(Seiren leaves to make some tea. She comes back soon with a nice warm cup of it.)

Here you go. I made some herbal tea because I heard it can help ease pain. Enjoy.

[Laura carefully levers herself up into more of a sitting position and sips gingerly at the tea. The effort she has to put in to each motion gives her time to breathe in the steam, looking content.]

...That's good. Not sure what kept me going all that time, but... something more normal again, it's good.
minorbeat: (Sad)

[personal profile] minorbeat 2012-05-20 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
(Seiren looks down a bit in shame.)

...It must have been hard on you. I'm sorry I couldn't have helped more...I wanted to protect you but I wasn't able to do enough and you were forced to do something drastic like that. I'm so sorry Laura.
emorangerpink: (intense)

[personal profile] emorangerpink 2012-05-20 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Laura shakes her head.]

No. You did so much, Seiren. There was no way anyone else could have helped with what Devon and I had to do... but without your help we wouldn't have gotten that far in the first place.

It's thanks to you we were able to make our friends' sacrifice count. And it was having people to come back to that kept us from joining them.
minorbeat: (Embaressed)

1/2

(Seiren opens her mouth to say something but then thinks about what Laura just said. Seiren sighs a little.)

You're right...I'm sorry, I must sound rather childish. That and your return should be a celebration but here I am beating myself up. I'm sorry.
minorbeat: (Smile)

2/2

[personal profile] minorbeat 2012-05-20 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
(Seiren thinks for a few seconds before a small smile appears on her face.)

Let me make that up to you. When you are better why don't we do something together? I could fix us some food, maybe play my guitar for you, or something. Anything you want. How does that sound to you, Laura?
emorangerpink: (lighthearted)

[personal profile] emorangerpink 2012-05-20 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I understand, Seiren. But it's okay, it really is. We won. We did what needed to be done. The cost was too high... it was always going to be too high. But you're right, it's something to celebrate.

That sounds wonderful. I don't know how long I'll take to recover, but it'll be something to look forward to once I'm back on my feet.

It's good to see you smiling.
minorbeat: (Smile)

[personal profile] minorbeat 2012-05-20 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright then. I'll try and get something special for when you are better than.

You know Laura...It is kind of weird...I don't think I've ever been this happy in my life. I'm not used to being this happy. I can't help but smile. When you left...I thought you had died and I thought I was just cursed or something. That everyone I ever open up to was doomed to die shortly afterwards. But you came back! I can't explain how truly happy I am that you are here right now.
emorangerpink: (blush)

[personal profile] emorangerpink 2012-05-21 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad, Seiren. Hold on to that. You deserve more of that happiness... I hope I can help you find it.
minorbeat: (Smirk)

[personal profile] minorbeat 2012-05-21 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
(Seiren closes her eyes in thought and laughs a little.)

Trust me, you've already given me more happiness than I ever thought possible. Thank you though. I hope I can help you too. You are a great person Laura. I want to help you in anyway I can.
emorangerpink: (downcast)

[personal profile] emorangerpink 2012-05-21 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Laura looks suitably embarrassed.]

I'm hoping it'll be a while before I need any more help. Get to help other people instead.
minorbeat: (Smirk)

[personal profile] minorbeat 2012-05-21 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Ah true enough. You've gone through a lot though so I feel like I might have to spoil you rotten for a little bit.

[personal profile] emorangerpink 2012-05-21 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Heh... I'll try to grin and bear it, then. But I'll get my revenge, just wait!
minorbeat: (Smirk)

[personal profile] minorbeat 2012-05-21 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
(Seiren laughs lightly and smirks playfully.)

Why do I get the strange feeling like I will enjoy that revenge?
