Who: Rean, Crow, and Randy
When: day 28
Where: the garden

[Rean's been passed out since princess maker, so a good 40 hours at least. When he wakes up... well he's immortal but here's never been in a position where there's no ambient mana he can use to even function basically. He feels fuzzy and almost like he's sick for over an hour, and he runs into more than one wall and that's all so absolutely unreal to him he finally texts Randy and Crow a simple word Garden. It takes him three tries to spell it right before hitting send.

And he'll be there next to a chalk circle full of symbols.]

[ He's not unconscious for too long, groaning softly as his eyelashes flutter against his cheeks. Red eyes peer blearily around the room and he sits up, holding his head. ]

Where....?

[awakenerd]

My room.

[It's. well, Ginger. Cozy and rustic and pleasant.]

How're you doing?

[bad_crowmance]

[ He glances around the room before speaking up. ]

Somehow, it suits you.

[ And then he focuses on Rean properly. ]

Honestly? Mostly I'm just embarrassed about passing out like that.

[awakenerd]

I like it at least.

[He sits on the edge of the bed, putting a hand on Crow's forehead to check his temperature. It should be normal but you can never tell with sudden mana depletion.]

Most people wouldn't still be standing after that.

[Rean himself looks much much better.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ His forehead's cool, his temperature normal. ]

Yeah, but I like to think I'm not most people.

[ He's playing up his reaction, theatrically sulking-- it's probably obvious he's not really upset about it. ]

You're looking a lot better, though.

[awakenerd]

You aren't. But... I am feeling better. I'm not remotely at full power but I'm not in trouble.

[bad_crowmance]

Good, that's one less thing to worry about.

[awakenerd]

Yeah.

[He laughs a little.]

Honestly, I don't know if you can feel it, yet, but it worked fine.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow considers very carefully for a moment. ]

I do feel.... something.

[awakenerd]

Yeah?

[Maybe he's a little hopeful that Crow can already feel him.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ He nods slightly. ]

It's faint, but I think if I listen hard enough...

[ He's not sure that sounds right, but there's definitely something there. ]

[awakenerd]

It'll get stronger with time. Eventually we'll be able to communicate telepathically.

[Not that Rean can't do that with Crow now alway but the reverse will be true. And that's just some of what they'll share.]

You shouldn't notice tiredness or anything after this either, though I'll be connected to your mana.

[bad_crowmance]

It makes sense that it'd be exhausting to start with, though. You had to recover a lot.... you really were pretty bad off, huh?

[awakenerd]

...A little.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow reaches over to ruffle Rean's hair. ] You've got a gift for understatement.

[awakenerd]

[I'm a powerful cool immortal being!! Accepts his hair ruffles.]

I didn't want to worry anyone. I should be fine no matter what, after all.

[bad_crowmance]

[ "I'm a powerful cool immortal being." Fixed it for you! ] Says the guy who could barely type. It's okay to complain a little, you know.

[awakenerd]

No one likes a cranky old man.

[bad_crowmance]

I know you're an old man, but with that cute baby face no one will ever buy it.

[awakenerd]

So I'm gathering.

[bad_crowmance]

You know you could get away with a lot if you wanted to, with a face like that?

[awakenerd]

.... What on earth would I want to get away with?

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow chuckles at that. ]

If you can't think of anything, maybe it's for the best.

[awakenerd]

What would you try to get away with??

[bad_crowmance]

Scamming people, of course!
