Tenth Wind [action]

-It's been awhile. But some of you may finally catch a sight of Virginia. The first anyone's seen of her besides Jet and Maya since Christmas. She's grooming Quicksilver to the best of her ability.

You see, the source of her difficulty would be her missing left arm. But she's managing to do pretty well in spite of this.-

[Just walking by, minding his own business, trying to get away from the drones for a while, and what does Itachi happen upon? Oh dear. He watches her while he walks, finally stopping and leaning against the fence.]

Good evening.

-She gives a smile over to Itashi. She'd wave, but...-

Sorry for being so scarce lately.

[He won't ask about her arm. The town probably had something to do with it, and it's probably not a pleasant subject. He'd rather not deal a blow to her pride, and it's all he can do to refrain from offering help.]

I haven't been around much, either. For that, I apologize.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

It's alright. I guess neither of us have been very good neighbors...

[scarletheir.livejournal.com]

I shall have to remedy that.

[If nothing comes of the vote, that is.]

When did you get a horse?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

She showed up a couple of months ago. I've converted the garage into a stable for her.

[scarletheir.livejournal.com]

I was unaware the town returned living things to people. Congratulations.

What is her name?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Quicksilver. She's one of the fastest horses in all of Filgaia.

[Jet makes it a point to visit Virginia at least once a day in order to help her with various chores or menial labor. There's a part of him that feels incredibly guilty about the whole situation. Even though he shouldn't. It was this damn place that made her do it... But still, she'd made a bloody present of her arm for him...]

Yo.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Nah ah ah. Before you even think about it, I'm not asking you for help with her. Besides, she's not fond of you to begin with.

[airgetlamh-bv2.livejournal.com]

[Jet glares at Quicksilver. She's tried to bite him on more than one occasion.]

Whatever. Never liked that dumb horse, either.

[Even so, he's going to grab a handful of some oats and offer them to the horse anyway. Maybe if he feeds her enough, she won't try to bite him. Today, that is...]

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

-She's surprisingly responsive to the gesture. Seems she's mellowed out a bit... But don't press your luck, Jet.-

[airgetlamh-bv2.livejournal.com]

[And he's going to... gently pat her nose with the other hand. Despite his assertions to the contrary, Jet really does like animals. Always has. Probably because he always had such a hard time connecting with people...]

Fine, if you're not gonna let me help with the horse, then at least let me do something else. Like pick up some groceries. Or something. Whatever.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

How about you spend some time with me that isn't focused on doing me favors, huh?

[airgetlamh-bv2.livejournal.com]

[And once the horse has finished eating the food from Jet's hand, he's going to rub her neck a little. At least that way, he has an excuse to avoid looking at the place where Virginia's arm used to be...]

Yeah, sure. Whatever you wanna do, Virginia...

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

... Jet. Look at me.

[airgetlamh-bv2.livejournal.com]

[He flinches. Slowly turns his head. His eyes immediately travel to her left shoulder, and he has to fight the urge to turn away again. Jet tries to keep his expression impassive, but something flickers across his face for a moment before he ducks his chin beneath his scarf once again. But he can only conceal the lower half of his face. His eyes, though... There is something akin to shame in them.]

[He walks by and... what did he miss?]

What happened, Virginia?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Weren't you here when Quicksilver arrived? -DODGING THE POINT LIKE A BOSS-

[nameofexorcist.livejournal.com]

[FROWNS]

That's not what I'm referring to.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

...

-She doesn't respond. She simply goes back to brushing Quicksilver's mane.-

[nameofexorcist.livejournal.com]

...I suppose there's no use in speaking about it now.

[...] Do the people from your Filgaia know about this?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Jet and Maya do.

[nameofexorcist.livejournal.com]

[Maybe he'll ask them later...]

Have you been adjusting to your current situation well? ...Or do you have any difficulties?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Jet comes over every day to help me out around the house.
