[ Taking up a spot next to him on the bed, Sheena watches him as he sleeps, wiping his brow and calming him with a touch if and when he becomes restless.
Once more brushing his hair out of his eyes, she places it gently on the side of his head--a constant source of comfort as she looks out the window, her brows furrowed in thought.
She thinks she should feel angry at him for coming for her, but she doesn't, leaving her feeling confused. Why had he--and only he--come for her? He had pulled her from dangerous situations before, but this time--it had felt more personal.
Her eyes widen as an answer comes to her, and for a moment, she can't bring herself to believe it. He's always been insulting and infuriating, making her life a complete hell, but when she's needed help... He had been there. He had been the one to pull her through the gate, and the one who, by acting normally, had helped her get through the events at Volt's Temple. And now, here he is again, coming to her rescue. Somehow, in spite of herself, she had become Zelos' damsel in distress.
And she didn't mind one bit.
Surprising herself with that little bit of insight, she looks over at him when she feels him stirring, her hand staying right where it is as she shakes her head in response to his question. ]
What do you think, you Stupid Chosen?
[ Translation: He may be in for a surprise later. ]
[Zelos blinks. Had he heard that right? He couldn't have heard that right.]
[He was expecting to be hit, but, thinking again, he was glad that she was feeling less violent today. He was already in a good deal of pain, and now that the numbness from sleep was wearing off, he was about to be in a lot more.]
[It was worth it though, since it meant Sheena was okay.]
[There's a conversation they need to have. Actually, there's several. But Zelos is going to wait a little bit longer.]
[Instead, he smiles a little bit more genuinely than usual as he responds.]
Heh, guess it turned out alright.
[Its a pretty un-Zelos response, but accurate nonetheless. He was afraid that he'd be too late. He's glad he wasn't.]
[ He heard it right. So she's not going to repeat it.
And seriously? He thought she was going to hit him in that condition? Give her some credit!
She'll wait until he's healed first. Then she'll hit him for getting hurt and worrying her in the first place.
And yes, there's definitely a few conversations they need to have, but like the hitting, she'll wait until he's better to do it.
She's pretty surprised by that smile, but returns it easily, the hand on his head lightly tapping in a very much lighter version of her usual whap. ]
If you call you lying in bed looking like a mummy "all right", I guess it did.
[ Her response isn't exactly normal, either, but how can it be when, although peeved he showed up, part of her is glad he did and grateful he survived? ]
