TALKING ABOUT A STRAWBERRY

[flamingprick]

[SO.

After Ichigo's under control/knocked the fuck out in the infirmary, Rin's going to pull Akira aside. Because conversations need to happen.]

We need to talk about that absolute idiot.

[flamingprick]

Well not with that attitude you can't.

[purrtagonist]

Not with a bullet hole in my calf, either.

[flamingprick]

[Oh right. That.]

Damn, I wish I had my fire. I could heal that up for you right away.

[purrtagonist]

Ulaz stitched it up. Still hurts, still can't walk on it, but it's healing all right.

[flamingprick]

Yeah, but if I had my powers it could be healed right now.

[purrtagonist]

[. . .?]

Does your fire automatically heal injuries?

[LIKE A MEDIARAHAN? he misses mediarahan]

[flamingprick]

Sorta? It's like...it burns away the bad stuff?

[No, Rin is an idiot and doesn't understand his powers. It burns away infection and illness (and rot, something specific to his world) and cauterizes wounds. It doesn't actually heal stuff.]

[purrtagonist]

[WELL, IT'S A NICE THOUGHT, RIN]

. . . okay.

I don't really get it, but I'll take your word for it.

[flamingprick]

[THUMBS UP!!!]

Weird demon shit.

I'm still learning it too.

[purrtagonist]

[THUMBS UP]

All that aside, I should probably get back to Ichigo. I want to be there when he wakes up.

[flamingprick]

Alright. I'll come by later so you can have a break too.

[They gotta watch him at least until it's clear he's not gonna run for the door again.]

[purrtagonist]

Thanks.

[at least Akira will be defusing a lot of that tonight]

. . . seriously. You're a good guy, Rin.

[flamingprick]

[Awwww. That praise gets a little smile out of him.]

Well, it's just how I am. I gotta be me, right?

[purrtagonist]

Always. No matter what this murder school throws at us.
