[Written/Action] 018

[...Someone is slowly regaining consciousness and finding himself someplace he hasn't seen for god knows how long. Alexei has been tossed back into Luceti, left sitting up against a building near the barracks, where he had been previously taken. It's probably a community building. Once he could feel his arm, he presses his hand against his forehead. He had this horrible headache, and it was making it difficult for him to focus or even move. Any sort of movement just felt disorientating.

So rather then battle against it, he'll just sit there for a moment and hope it'll soon pass. He may as well just look through the journal and say-...he frowsn, deciding to write instead.]

Can someone tell me what today's date is?

[...He'll just write it out for her and hope she understands. "Malnosso. Tired. Will be all right."]

[She can read, yes. She looks from him to the journal.] They took your voice, huh?

[There's a pause, as she wrestles down the instinctive cry of injustice - it's not something to become accustomed to, but it's something which can not be helped. Acknowledge it and move on. Wait for the right moment, and focus on what's important now.] Do you need help getting back to your apartment?

...[It takes a minute before he finally responds, since it takes some time for him to decide what to write. "I'll be fine. You've done a lot for me already. Don't want to trouble you any more then I already have."]

[She gives him a flat look.] It's a walk, Alexei. And if it causes more trouble than that, you really shouldn't be doing it by yourself.

[He moves away from the wall and takes a few steps. Obviously proving a point that he's okay to walk without help...Knights are stubborn, okay?]

[It's not just knights who are stubborn. Zuko was giving her that exact look a few weeks ago. She's equally unimpressed.]

Just keep in mind how long it took to heal up from the last time something happened to you before you try to tell me you're fine.
