[and he'll look amused even as he guides them both to the inn]
I'd thought I only sought a right hand to look after Yona and help me gather information - but did you assume that I expected you to look after my person as well? That's awfully kind of you.
soo-won is just going to shift his cloak then, moving it to the side to reveal his robes.
where there is definitely a tear right over where his heart would be, and while it's attempted to be washed, there's a stain there. blanca can probably see the bandages peeking out from underneath
You look as though you've seen a ghost - come have a seat.
[he'll pat the spot next to him....]
Well, to begin, we were in a corridor with the four of us - though we were quickly separated. Xie Lian and I were brought to a room where we were expected to sit in two chairs, and some words appeared to tell us some enemies were attacking, and asked if we were prepared. Upon selecting yes, we were knocked unconscious.
Though... we were them forced to face a number of - emotional ordeals, I suppose. Based on our own fears and worries. In my case.... I saw my country burning before my eyes, my top general announced dead, and myself too weak and ill to be able to give direction. Ultimately, I knew I was dying.
[just a bit of detail for blanca, given what he knows about soo-won]
Our consciousness and decisions were connected to the monsters that Ochako and Chiron were fighting - when they were victorious, I believe Xie Lian and I were defeated. They tried to revive us with serums, but we ended up becoming murderous instead. They had to kill us in order to stop us.
[he rests a hand over his own heart]
This injury came from Ochako, though it's partially healed, so my life is not in danger.
[and
he could get away with making it look like he wasn't hurt that much at all
[ . . . . and he looks at blanca at that, expression softening - ]
You are awfully kind - I'm glad that I have more time still to convince you of that much.
[a beat]
... I feel as though many are asking me that but -
I'm alright. I spend more time considering my end than most, I think, and so... I am a little surprised to receive a chance to live, though I'm grateful for it.
I understand all that needed to happen, so I don't hold any grudges or anything of the sort.
[so blanca doesn't need to worry about soo-won being actually angry at anyone over what happened]
[this child has been 60 years since he was born - but he'll at least adjust his cloak so as to hide his injury again! wow, he once again looks pristine. terrible.]
No, I'm rather used to expecting the kindness of others - people really are wonderful, aren't they? It makes me glad to have more time with you all.
But we did -
Could you give me your report of your ordeal first?
[I completely forgot to make Blanca move over to sit with Soo-Won when asked, so anyway, let's pretend he did that now! HIS MANNERS.]
My. Impatient.
[He's teasing again.
But his expression thins some.]
I don't know what happened to Sora and Miss Alex yet. We too were separated at the beginning. Mister Fujimoto and I were in an old house... a manor almost. The... ghost of a child lead us along through different rooms to try to find notes with a combination on them.
A chandelier fell on us. In the bedroom, we saw... Well, I saw Natalia. The bathroom had a rat which attacked us. [Alpha Rat.] One door was trapped with a blade that swung down when I entered.
We found Sora and Miss Alex inside... vats--giant tubes of liquid which we had to drain. Mister Fujimoto was shocked when he tried to break them beforehand. So I picked up the iron poker he dropped to break the glass on the tubes.
[soo-won will take the teasing, listening to the report thoughtfully.]
.... I see. That still sounds like a difficult ordeal in and of itself. So that's how you ended up injured.
[just random attacks in a haunted house. it still sounds rather terrible - and he doesn't know exactly who natalia is, but he thinks he can make a guess now]
[He opens his mouth, and then closes it. There's a pause before he laughs quietly and wryly.]
Tired, if I'm honest. A little sore. [But he doesn't seem to be too bad off considering.] I was on my way to speak to you actually before it happened. I suppose it was better this way; I would have been concerned if I couldn't find you.
Fox claims they do not care about winning, and they don't like the killing going on.
I tried to get them to talk about it without asking the questions outright, to see how they would answer. When I talked about being removed being unfavorable, they agreed that "death" wasn't so great.
[He shakes his head.]
I asked them if anyone had lost any memories of this place, and they said no one had talked to them about memories, so they don't know. I also asked whose camaraderie they valued.
They said, "Wolf is fun to tease," and Rabbit and they were similar.

week 1, thursday
as everyone else is getting seen to, he's going to catch the cuff of blanca's sleeve and offers up a smile]
I believe you're my patient for now.
[he's all clean so there's no evidence of him being in a cyoa haha]
wow im finally here
also, he really needs maybe some stitches so let's pretend he has some by now or something.]
Oh? I don't think I can run from the power of such a request then.
no subject
You can't!
After all, I heard you're my bodyguard?
[TEASING]
no subject
You... "heard"?
no subject
[and he'll look amused even as he guides them both to the inn]
I'd thought I only sought a right hand to look after Yona and help me gather information - but did you assume that I expected you to look after my person as well? That's awfully kind of you.
no subject
You are my "employer," so naturally, your safety and survival will be the highest priority. Otherwise, I would not have a job.
no subject
... I see. I'll accept then, I suppose, as long as your other duties are still seen to.
[and then he'll walk forward, opening the door to his room to ensure privacy given that alyssa is out]
Though... I suppose I should let you know then - I am not currently in top form myself.
no subject
[The look on his face grows slightly more serious at that. But he will follow Soo-Won into the privacy of the room.]
What happened?
no subject
Well, I died twice.
no subject
I beg your pardon?
no subject
soo-won is just going to shift his cloak then, moving it to the side to reveal his robes.
where there is definitely a tear right over where his heart would be, and while it's attempted to be washed, there's a stain there. blanca can probably see the bandages peeking out from underneath
yeah
he died twice]
no subject
Mister Won...? Are you all right? How did this happen?
no subject
[he'll pat the spot next to him....]

[and

but yeah.
he died twice.]
no subject
[THIS IS SO MUCH? He thought his was so much, but it was not as much compared to this.]
I'm sorry. [For dying, but more than that, for having to go through something pretty traumatic?] Are you all right?
[MENTALLY.]
no subject
You are awfully kind - I'm glad that I have more time still to convince you of that much.
[a beat]
... I feel as though many are asking me that but -
I'm alright. I spend more time considering my end than most, I think, and so... I am a little surprised to receive a chance to live, though I'm grateful for it.

[so blanca doesn't need to worry about soo-won being actually angry at anyone over what happened]
no subject
[PLEASE STOP SAYING FUCKING TERRIBLE SAD AND CRYPTID SHIT. This fucking child is not fine AT ALL, Blanca can SMELL IT.]
Did the four of you retrieve things you were able to bring back with you...?
no subject
No, I'm rather used to expecting the kindness of others - people really are wonderful, aren't they? It makes me glad to have more time with you all.
But we did -

And then everything was on fire...
no subject
.... I see. That still sounds like a difficult ordeal in and of itself. So that's how you ended up injured.
[just random attacks in a haunted house. it still sounds rather terrible - and he doesn't know exactly who natalia is, but he thinks he can make a guess now]
How are you feeling now?
no subject
Tired, if I'm honest. A little sore. [But he doesn't seem to be too bad off considering.] I was on my way to speak to you actually before it happened. I suppose it was better this way; I would have been concerned if I couldn't find you.
I spoke to Fox.
no subject
[soo-won you dIED TWICE TODAY. but he'll rest a hand on blanca's shoulder]
Rest here then - do you want tea? I can get some before you tell me what Fox said.
no subject
No--no, that's all right. I'm fine for now. Thank you for the offer, though, Mister Won.
no subject
Then - what did Fox say...?
no subject
I tried to get them to talk about it without asking the questions outright, to see how they would answer. When I talked about being removed being unfavorable, they agreed that "death" wasn't so great.
[He shakes his head.]
I asked them if anyone had lost any memories of this place, and they said no one had talked to them about memories, so they don't know. I also asked whose camaraderie they valued.
They said, "Wolf is fun to tease," and Rabbit and they were similar.
no subject
[he hums thoughtfully at that]
Well, we can continue to collect possible teams and perspectives. I'd like to talk more with Fox myself - they seem rather fun.
But Wolf is very fun to tease, that's true.
