Rage of Dust (1x1 w/ DarkMudkip)

[DarkMudkip]

"Some bumps and scrapes when Shax was jumbled around but I'm fine.." He answered.

 

[Jikkah]

“That makes me happy.. I worried you’d be in worse shape than I am..” She wheezed out softly.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He gave a fake laugh, "Oh yeah, says the girl in the pod.."

 

[Jikkah]

“I think I’m actually starting to like it in here..” She said with a teasing smile. “Maybe you should try it out sometime..”

 

[DarkMudkip]

"I have...not for me...~" He smirked, equally as teasing.

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime smiled weakly, but it faded. “What do we do now..? We probably lost Matsunaga’s support.. do we have enough to make it on our own..?”

 

[DarkMudkip]

He nodded, "For a little while, at least. We should be ok."

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime spent nearly a full week in the pod, and even when she was cleared to be out of it, Kojurou wanted her in a wheelchair and on an oxygen tank to ensure she didn’t overexert herself.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Jesus, Kojurou, you're like an overbearing parent." Masamune teased. Kojurou scoffed.
"It's just precautionary."

 

[Jikkah]

“I agree with Masamune, the wheelchair is a bit much.. I’ll be fine, just need some time.” Megohime said, but didn’t get up out of the chair- she had already gotten an earful from Kojurou and didn’t want to try for a second one.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"I insist on the wheelchair." Kojurou said.
"Well, I'm the boss, so I say she doesn't need the chair." Masamune said indignantly. Kojurou opened his mouth to argue but only sighed.
"Fine.."

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime could manage without one, standing up and taking the portable oxygen tank with her. “Thank you.”

 

[DarkMudkip]

Kojurou grumbled softly, "I think it would be best."
"She'll be fine, Kojurou.." Masamune said before taking Megohime's hand, "Come on, you should get a look at Shax. We've been working real hard getting him back into shape."

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime nodded, glancing to his hand before following him out of the infirmary and down to where they housed Shax in one of the larger hangars.

 

[DarkMudkip]

When they reached the hangar, Shax looked just about good as new. "Ta da!"

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime gave a soft smile, looking at Masamune. “I’m surprised he’s not held together by some duct tape.”

 

[DarkMudkip]

He laughed a bit, "For a while there, yeah. But we managed to peel it all off."

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime couldn’t help but laugh, she had been so alone when she was with Matsunaga, so being back with anyone was a saving grace.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Masamune smiled, "It's good to have you back..."

 

[Jikkah]

Megohime’s face flushed and she looked down. “It’s.. good to be back..” She said softly.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"What's up?" He asked, "Embarrassed?"

 

[Jikkah]

“You just make everything so mushy.” She muttered, rubbing the back of her neck, looking away from him.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"O-Oh..." He looked away, embarrassed now himself, "Sorry.."

 

[Jikkah]

“It’s not a bad thing, not entirely, where I lived before everyone was such a tight ass it was miserable.” She said with a soft smile.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"I hope Kojurou is enough of a tight ass for you." He said.
