week 0, saturday

[recrowns]

[high in the air, there's a cry of a hawk.

probably because there is indeed a hawk up there, wherever alex might be. soo-won isn't too far either, head inclined up toward the sky with a smile that's a bit softer than what he's given to the public so far

though eventually the hawk swoops down, descending from the sky - though he might have to swoop around past alex in order to get to soo-won based on the trajectory. soo-won reaches out an arm for the bird to land on but - ]

Oh - hello. Sorry, was that too close?

[chanteuser]

[ she does duck, almost on instinct, when the hawk s w o o p s down to nyoom towards its master. and then just... stands there for a moment like she's not quite sure what happened. ]

N-no, it's fine.

[recrowns]

[he manages a bit of an apologetic laugh at that, his other hand waving]

It doesn't look fine - I'm sorry. Gulfan's probably restless after he was stuck inside yesterday.

He won't hurt you, I promise.

[chanteuser]

No, I just didn't expect to see a-- a hawk? Here?

[ hello??? ] He's yours?

WEEK 0, the other sunday

[chanteuser]

[ being outside is better than being locked up in her room with her thoughts, so alex is outside, walking around the town with something small and soft cradled under her arm.

she makes her way to the bridge eventually because that's where rng has decided they are, stopping only when she sees soo-won nearby. ]

[recrowns]

[the bridge makes sense as he seems to let his gaze fall to the water - though he looks up when he hears someone approaching.

when he sees that it's alex, he offers up a smile and beckons her closer]

Fresh air?

[chanteuser]

Something like that.

[ fresh air doesn't really wipe away the memory of a guillotine but boy!! she can keep hoping it will. ]

Did you have the same idea?

week 1, post-trial

[recrowns]

[he should probably be resting

but he's actually going to look around for people. when he comes across alex, wherever she is, his voice is soft]

Alex.

[chanteuser]

[ she hadn't been happy this week, but she just looks miserable this week, what's up won. ]

...

Hello.

[ they should both probably be resting, but she's pacing around the plaza instead sometimes it just be that way ]

[recrowns]

[ . . . . . he's

going to move in front of her, stepping in front and gently reaching out as if to get her to stop]

Hello.

... shall we find someplace to sit?

week 2, monday

[recrowns]

[IF ALEX IS WANDERING INTO THE FIRST AID STATION, soo-won is already here!! he turns when someone is approaching and offers up a smile even as he pauses going through the cabinets]

Oh - just the miss I was hoping to see. How're you feeling?

[chanteuser]

[ well he’s going to feel how she’s feeling before she gets a chance to open her mouth and say anything —- there’s a little sadness there, lingering like perfume, but there’s also a surprising amount of fear there as well.

not sharp and overpowering, more like a dread that starts in your stomach and creeps up. whatever’s causing it, it’s not showing on alex’s face. ]

Hello there. Did you need me for something?

[ hm? ] Oh, I’m... well. About as well as you can expect after the weekend.

[recrowns]

[ . . . . hmmmm. soo-won blinks at that, a little bit surprised. that shows on his face as well as his emotions.]

.... I was hoping to look after your injuries, now that we have the means to do so. Would you care to have a seat?

[and - ]

... are you sure you're feeling alright? Or is there something... frightening you?

week 2, post-trial

[recrowns]

[WELL AFTER THAT SOO-WON'S MAKING HIS ROUNDS he has a tray and on that tray there's going to be a pot of tea, a stack of cups, aaaaand a bottle of whiskey

when he approaches alex he gives her a smile]

Wouldn't suppose you have a preference in what to drink?

[chanteuser]

As much as I’d love something stronger, I’ll take the tea, thank you Won.

[ she will accept a cup! ]

[recrowns]

[nice. he'll pour tea for them both then, even taking the first sip out of his just bc they had a poisoning]

You're welcome.

How are you feeling, Alex? I could sit closer to you to find out, perhaps, but... I think I'd rather hear it from you first.

week 3, wednesday

[chanteuser]

[ don't go chassssiinnnng waterfalls... just stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to~




anyway.

alex is at the waterfall! last time she was here, there was a leopard and she did a lot of hiding. but this time it seems quieter, and she's tentatively climbing up onto some of the rocks around the waterfall so she can sit at the top of it and watch the water cascade down. ]

[recrowns]

[soo-won isn't too far either!! it seems like there's a bird flying in the sky? his gaze is watching gulfan fly all across the sky, smiling faintly at the sight before he notices alex

and then he'll direct that smile to her]

Alex - enjoying the view?

[chanteuser]

[ oh my GOD gmail ]

-- Oh, Won. Hello.

[ she glances up when she spots him, and catches a glimpse of gulfan soaring above them. ]

It's rather beautiful here isn't it?

week 3, sunday post execution

[chanteuser]

[ alex makes her way to the bookstore eventually, she looks somewhere between tired and deeply, deeply relieved. her attempts at finding a book are surface level at best, more like she's just trying to keep herself occupied.

when she sees won, she stops. and after a moment, she walks over to him and just takes a seat next to him. ]

Good book?

[ she sounds tired as well. wow. ]

[recrowns]

Incredibly good.

[though he'll pause, placing his finger between the pages and closing it before he turns to her with a smile]

How are you, Alex? I meant to check up on you after all.... of this morning.

[chanteuser]

[ she’s quiet for a moment, but she nods. and she smiles — and it’s small but it’s real and there’s nothing shadowed behind it right now. ]

I’m... good. [ and she nods to herself ] Better now. What about you?

week 4, monday

[recrowns]

[IDK SOMEWHERE??? AROUND??? THE NEW AREA PROBABLY???

soo-won is just wandering around and exploring with gulfan and alex probably is too?]

Ah - Alex! Hello. Looking around?

[chanteuser]

[ yeah yeah yeah! it's the wild west! ]

Yup. Another week, another weird location, right?

[recrowns]

Fufu, is it strange? I'm afraid they've all looked unfamiliar to me, so I find them all fascinating.

[he doesn't know what this place IS]
