[semi-open] i reached out my hands and seized something shapeless but precious

[revolutionfalcon]

Who: Temple Nekhbet residents, visitors, and concerned parties after the event (basically anyone who Shun is on good enough terms with to feasibly be allowed into his temple. If you're not sure, ask!) There'll be a couple of closed prompts in toplevels too.
When: November 15th-17th
Where: Temple Nekhbet
What: Post-event temple mingle, for concerned parties, some in-temple problems, and the grand effort to actually get Shun to sit the fuck down for a few days.

[The vultures on the grounds of Shun's temple are a little calmer than usual in the wake of the recent incident, though perhaps that's courtesy of their usual meticulous care being taken over temporarily by Kotori, who is much more willing to keep them off people on the grounds than Shun is. In a slightly different, but equally carelessly-worn kimono to the one she was wearing in the video post, she's grooming a couple of the messier birds, who seem very attuned to her presence.

If anyone comes by intending to visit or at least look in on Shun after what happened, she'll invite in people she knows happily, or even those who responded helpfully to the network post and seem to know Shun well. However, she may tactfully suggest they not stray too much further than the well-lit visitor's room furnished in plain white linens until she can bring him in...or track him down, as the case may be. He's probably tried to sneak out of the temple at least once since he's been up to getting out of bed.

However, he's certainly not the only person about the temple, so feel free to take the opportunity to meet other residents or regular visitors as well.]

Comments

[revolutionfalcon]

I know my own limits. [So he can ignore them, mostly, but he's not bringing that part up.

Hearing Eric's remark on the couch, though, he lets out a faintly exasperated breath and actually pauses briefly to lean on the back of it properly. It makes for a more direct talking-to, though Shun's tone is actually more one of understanding than biting at him for it.]

Nobody else uses the bedrooms on the underground level, and they have a safer feel to them for people like us. I used one for a while when I first came here because the master bedroom was too unfamiliar.

[Obviously it's been a few months since that now, but Shun at least knows the feeling to some degree.]

[redstray]

Whatever you say...

[ He doubts that a little, who was it that got knocked out and had to be carried. Or staryed punching walls and not sleeping until he passed out? But he stays silent on that. He'll try and help him out whether he knows his limits or not.

He looks up to Shun, mildly surprised by the invite and the way he phrased it. Eric fiddles with his sleeve as he quietly debates about it. He was still a bit wary but, he would accept help and get better. That was his promise. So he nodded. ]

I'll try one of them out tonight...if that's okay.

[ Little steps. He wasn't planning on leaving Ren for awhile and the other shinki he had were taking care of the house and animals. ]

[revolutionfalcon]

[Shun side-eyes him a bit at that first comment, but he also figures he's going to be having that kind of argument plenty enough times in the next few days, so he elects not to pick it up in this case.

As for the matter of the bedroom, Shun shrugs a little.] I wouldn't be suggesting it if it wasn't okay. Besides, Ren's going to notice you sleeping on the couch eventually.

[Considering he doesn't appear interested in leaving until Shun is a damn sight more recovered than he is currently.]

[redstray]

Ah, guess you're right...

[ It did seem silly to ask again just in case, but he couldn't think too much on it. Shun said that he was allowed to use the room so, he'll use the room.

He stands up from the couch, stretching as he glances back at Shun. ]

Where are you trying to go to anyways?

[revolutionfalcon]

Anywhere. [That's a pretty straightforward answer, though it does make Shun continue his stubborn progress along the couch.] I don't like being kept in one place for so long.

[It reminds him a little too much of having to stake out in buildings back home these days, and also generally indicates there's very little getting done. He rarely feels right not working on something at any given time.]

[redstray]

You're not going to go very far like that.

[ There's only so many things to support himself on before he's either going to fall or run out of places to go. ]

I can make you something, if you're hungry...

[ That at least could get Shun some more energy and recover from going down the stairs. ]

[revolutionfalcon]

I'll find a way. [Shun reaches the end of the couch...and it's probably lucky there's another chair just a little further along from it, because he ends up stumbling slightly as soon as he doesn't have the support and having to take another quick step forward to lean against the other chair.

He's looking increasingly irritated by his condition, and that suggestion of help doesn't really do a lot for it right now.]

If I want something, I can make it myself. [As soon as he isn't relying on this chair to stay upright, which doesn't look like it's going to be anytime soon.]

[redstray]

[ Eric follows Shun along as he grabs onto a chair. He tilts his head before conveniently moving some chairs around. Do they look a bit scattered and farther away? Maybe. He shrugs. ]

Guess you can. I'm going to make something for Ren though, when he wakes up.

[revolutionfalcon]

[Shun gives Eric a look that says he knows exactly what the point of that was (then again, moving couch chairs without it being wildly obvious is a difficult thing to do), but very pointedly takes the few extra steps to support himself on the next one. Fronting Shun with anything that can be taken as a challenge is a bad idea, though by this point he's just across from the kitchen anyway, so he can use the counter for balance when he gets over there.]

If anyone's making anything, it's going to be me, considering this is my temple. [The reminder is pointed like a knife edge. Shun's in no mood to be overstepped in his own territory considering everything that happened.]

[redstray]

[ Eric hears that edge and falters on his chair placing. This was Shun's temple and he did have a say in things. He didn't want help so what's Eric to do if his help isn't wanted? ]

Alright then.

[ He turns back, letting Shun have his space, to let him do as he pleases and goes back to sitting onto the couch. If he wasn't needed and Shun could do things, it was probably batter to head back to his temple, help out with the animals. ]</small

[revolutionfalcon]

[Shun does have some awareness of the reaction that's likely to inspire, given how withdrawn Eric can be, but he doesn't exactly feel apologetic at all. Baiting Shun when he's already in a less than pleased mood is a dangerous game for anyone to play, and he'd figure Eric knows him well enough to know that.

Still, once he crosses the hall to the kitchen and braces himself against the counter there instead, he glances back, expression still unreadable.]

You might as well go check on Ren. He woke up when I did earlier. [The matter of whether he's still awake or whether he's gone back to sleep since Shun made a break for it is debatable, but at the very least, he shouldn't be completely unresponsive.] Kotori left food for us anyway.
