[compendiem]

[ He's a bit slow rolling over on the bed so he can be sideways instead of staring at the ceiling, but then he flops back over onto his back anyways bc ow. ]

Hi, Naminé. Did you have a good day?

[ Minato had a great day. The best. ]

[whitewalls]

Mine was okay. What about yours?

[ she's just going to go and sit at the edge of his bed then so he won't have to worry about rolling over. ]

[compendiem]

[ If Naminé's going to sit, Minato scoots over a little more so he's against the wall and she can have more space. ]

It was fun. I got to hang out with Vally, and sing, and stuff.

[ There was a lot of stuff! But it was overall very fun. ]

[whitewalls]

[ okay, she will make herself more comfortable then. ]

Did you get hurt more?

[ this is a rhetorical question

she can see his face ]

[compendiem]

[ ...He looks away. Looks back. ]

I got better. So that doesn't count, right?

[whitewalls]

Maybe...

But I'm supposed to be looking after you, remember? So I should know.

[compendiem]

[ Does he remember... I, Card, do not remember so Minato doesn't either, but we will both give Naminé the benefit of the doubt. ]

...A broken nose, glass shards in my arms, burns on my legs, thorns in my back, and I got dropped to the ground from a hundred feet in the sky. I think I'm a little more deaf now. But I got better, otherwise.

[whitewalls]

[ forgetting promises with naminé is very ic for her so that's fine

but she just. blinks. ]

Minato.

[compendiem]

[ francy no i'm crying ]

Yeah?

[whitewalls]

Do you need anything?

[ besides a new body because

minato what the fuck ]

[compendiem]

[ When will robot bodies exist so he can escape this meat suit hell ]

Yeah, actually. Can you help me up?

[whitewalls]

Oh, sure.

[ she'll move forward so she can help with that?? and she will try to... do it in a way that won't hurt too much for him. ]

[compendiem]

[ That's sort of impossible, because everywhere hurts. Naminé can probably feel the extra cushioning of the bandages through his clothes, completely covering his back and arms. But he gets up with no complaints, and makes his way over to the door and leaves it open on his way out.

He's just sort of expecting Naminé to follow. She doesn't have to close the door behind her. ]

[whitewalls]

[ she screams internally but does, in fact, follow

she closes the distance fast enough just in case she needs to catch him in case he like, falls over and dies ]

[compendiem]

[ He's not going to fall over and die!!! But he does walk slower, since, ow. ]

...Is the garden okay? Just around the pond?

[whitewalls]

... that's fine, yes.

[ she has no idea what they're doing

so the garden is fine. ]

[compendiem]

[ That's a good way to operate, just nod and accept things. But with the garden in agreement, Minato leads the way over there, to the familiar garden paths that always makes him feel at home despite the business of a city he's from, because here, it's quiet. Gardens have that effect.

He doesn't say anything the entire time, just takes his 3579049328 laps around the pond or until whenever Naminé feels like she has to speak up again. ]

[whitewalls]

[ they sure are walking around this pond

it's a couple of laps in before she talks. ]

Do you do this a lot?

[compendiem]

[ They sure are ]

Walking? I guess... I used to do it more, back home. Just going around the city. Sometimes somebody would walk me home, and that's always nice.

[whitewalls]

Oh... well, I'll walk you home today.

[ just in case he thought she was just going to ditch him mid-lap ]

[compendiem]

Thanks, Naminé.

[ Naminé missed her chance to just walk away, she's a good friend ]

...I really am okay, so I hope you don't worry about me. There were medics there, and... I told Four that I would really try hard this week.

[ If Naminé can forget about setting off rockets for a second- he did sort of try hard? there were so many opportunities to die and he managed not to die. ]

[whitewalls]

... mm. Okay.

[ if he says he's alright, then she won't doubt him.

she will hold a hand out though. ]

[compendiem]

[ Minato, with zero unhurt limbs: I'm fine
Naminé: okay, I believe you

He takes her hand without hesitation, lacing their fingers together and letting their hands hang by their sides.

He said he would try, this week. ]

Naminé... are you happy?

[whitewalls]

[ listen as long as he heals properly, it's fine. val and axel were also injured so it's not just minato for once.

but she smiles at their hands, although the question catches her off guard. ]

Right now?

[compendiem]

[ So as long as he takes somebody down with him, it's fine??? ]

I guess... both right now, and in general.
