thenearshore | [Open] Sit Down and Rest

Who: Aymeric. Glitinir residents, and visitors
When: November 18th-30th
Where: Glitnir Temple unless stated otherwise
What: What happens when you have a god who doesn't know what rest is and everyone else is trying to get him to sit down for five minutes and he is bored out of his skull? Well, you get this. He needs company to distract him.

[When you are used to being active, it is very hard to sit still and do nothing. It is extremely hard for someone who has always been working in one way shape or form to stop for any reason, believing they would only rest if they dropped dead from exhaustion. And then you have Aymeric de Borel: some say he's got a strong work ethtic while others want to just slam him into bed and make him sleep normal hours. He has always been the type to burn the midnight oil and quite possibly the fumes as long as he got the work done. It has slowed down from the extreme measures taken back in Ishgard because there was not the pressures of being a ruler on his shoulders. But then the incident with the forest and cultists happened and everything decided to hit the fan. Aymeric was one of those captured and it had left him drained and like many, injured to point where he had passed out immediately upon seeing the Far Shore. Between Tree Senpai going a bit love stabby when it held him and the man refusing to rest and going after other hostages and helping to destroy one of the sigils, it should be easy for him to be able to recooperate and recover from his ordeal.

Yeah, that is total bullshit.

It was only six hours after arriving back that Aymeric had woken up and went back to work to catch up on late business between the followers and the Welcome Center planning and Goten's health and everyone else's own well being that he did not think of his own. This wasn't the first time he had gotten injured and he was not going to let a little pain dictate how to continue on. The only problem was that it was not a little but a significant amount. Even when his body was screaming at him to stop at the sigil, Aymeric refused to do so and now it's catching up to him. It was hard for Sukomi to convince him to stay in bed and to a point, even Leo could not get him to stay still for long. At least, not until they discussed about it and why Aymeric could not simply rest like most normal folks. He truly did not want to make anyone upset because of his actions when he had thought they were to help others rather than hinder or harm. And seeing those who care about him cry, hurt more than the fresh stab wound.

He will try to rest...but it will be hard. And he has been refused any kind of work relating to god business or Welcome Center planning nor being allowed his laptop and phone. Strictly bedrest only which made Aymeric extremely bored. Any kind of company where he could be distracted from his thoughts and physical pain would be very appreciated...and he will try not to sneak out very much. Unless it is an emergency in which he can't promise anything.]

[Celty had been there to try to help Aymeric with the cultists, but that he went missing and she was able to do so little about it made her feel a bit more than her share of guilt. And so as things began to calm he was on her list of friends and acquaintances to check up on.

When he didn't respond to her texts that only managed to make her more worried, and there was some confusion when she hurried over, but eventually she was allowed into his room to see him.

But when she entered his room and saw him there all she could think was to offer an awkward little wave of greeting.]

[Having no way to communicate to anyone was quite a pain. It would at least make Aymeric feel a little better even if he would be able to send a message to his comrades saying that he was alive and simply staying at his temple. But his shinki knew him too well and nipped that in the bud quick. So when Sukomi answered the main door and saw Celty, she immediately checked most of the rooms he would try to be in such as the kitchen, the library, or even outside the back door. So maybe he actually was in his room taking their advice...and she was right.

Aymeric was indeed sitting up in bed with a book in hand and a white fluff ball curled up beside him. And when he looked up, he saw Celty standing there.]

Well met, Celty. How have you been, my friend?

[Greeting like he didn't almost die, no big deal.]

[Celty doesn't move immediately. She's not sure she even had a plan for this to begin with and now in the moment she finds herself scrambling on where to begin. Eventually though she pushes herself forward, going with the more direct path as she holds her phone out for him to read.]

I'm glad you're alright. Sorry I wasn't able to come help you sooner.

[She knows it's not her fault she was delayed in providing aid during the recent forest encounters, but she still feels a touch responsible for that aid she couldn't render.]

[Just so she isn't so uncomfortable, Aymeric does gesture to a chair close by his bedside so she can sit down.]

There is no need for apologies, for there is more that we do not know about the forest and why the events occurred as such.

[That and he probably does not want her to have seen him as a mess and full of rage and almost bled out so it works out in the end.]

[She nods and takes the offered seat. Really comfort is not her concern right now but the offer is indeed kind and welcome.]

Was it Ayakashi or something else? I thought I heard someone say it was a rogue god or something?

That is what they are saying to my knowledge. This god is not known to the Heavens or so what I had read on the post Lady Amaterasu had made. I will admit to not paying as close attention as I should have.

[Because reading over your boyfriend's shoulder is a pain sometimes when you are also supposed to....you know, sleep maybe..]

[Celty bows her helmet in thought. She can't help but think that maybe there was something she might have been able to see while riding around...but she reminds herself that if she didn't know to look in the first place she can't blame herself.

All she can do is what she promised she would to Amaterasu, and was asked of her.]

I guess we just need to be diligent and keep an eye out for clues we might have ignored before. And hope they haven't gone to ground I guess.

For being in a forest, I hope so.

[He leans back, pinching the bridge of his nose, thinking to wrap his mind around such things. Meanwhile, the white furball tries to bat at him for attention. He needs pets, dammit!]

[Celty glances at the cat. Her hand rises to where her mouth might be, her shoulders hitching in a soft silent laugh.]

It looks like someone else wants your attention. I should let you get your rest but I'm glad to see you're okay. And I'll do my best to make sure you don't get caught up in trouble like this again.

Not as shinki and god, but as friends.

Ah, my apologies. He has been rather affectionate as of late.

[For good reason. Mandragora murrs and lightly nips one of Aymeric's fingers just as he looks at Celty questioningly. Who's this weirdo with the head cover?]

I'd like that. And I would do the same for you, as a friend.
