fallenambitions | [Action/Voice...kinda] 019

[It's something in the evening now, after the sun had set. Alexei had decided it was time for him to head back home instead of continuing his stay with Mayoi. He hasn't...told Mayoi this, but he'll just have to inform her later. He's well aware of the experiment that's happening and this man has a handful of secrets he would like to be kept secret. So as he walks through the village, he'll be keeping his thoughts in check and as blank as possible.

On occasion, something might come up concerning a general complaint about mild headaches or wondering whether he should have mention something to Mayoi. In which case, that thought is quickly replace with the reasoning that he'll tell her later the moment the thought arises.

Once Alexei had return to his room, and made sure nothing had been moved, he decides to wander up onto the roof and spectate the village down below. He brought his journal, going through it and makes a quick note to a group of people.]

This is Alexei. I don't know if Noel mentioned it to any of you, but I would like to come see Nami. I heard what had happened and I haven't been able to make a proper visitation since I came back.

[His pen linger over the paper, absently pondering about Luceti as he waits for a response. Before he even realizes it, his thoughts began to wonder.]

[Should apologize...It's no better. It's no better here, then it is back home. Just prologuing the inevitable while being stuck in this twisted world.]

Vaguely an image appears where Alexei was back home, standing atop Zaude and awaiting for his death to come from above. A floating blastia...It quickly goes away, replace with unclear images of shadowed figures. Everything was a blur to him while he was away with the Malnosso, but he was trying his hardest to recall it all.

[What did they do...?]

[he...shakes his head, entering inside.]

[Haven't actually been to the new place till now.]

[... oh boy.]

It's this way. [he'll take him to the room then]

Oi, and watch your thoughts. They're showing.

[...he nods and follows]

[smirks]

Just try and think of something else, if you feel them straying where you don't want them to. [Yeah, Sanji's a bit of a pro at this.

And when he reaches Nami's door, he knocks twice]

Nami-san! He's here.

[And the muffled reply.] Thanks, Sanji-kun. He can come in.

[She'll be at her desk. Re-drawing certain maps that were burned a few weeks ago.]

[He nods appreciatively to Sanji for the advice...since his voice is still missing.

When he enters, he'll tap on the wall or some hard surface since he...can't really say good evening |D]

[And the smile she gives him is warm, but the look in her eyes is more guarded than usual. Didn't have the heart to tell Sanji no when he asked, but all the same she thinks she might keep this brief.]

Hi, Alexei. How've you been?

[He shrugs] [Could do with my voice.]

[He points to her, as if to direct the question back to her.]

...should I ask what happened to your voice? [And she'll dig out some paper from the desk drawer, handing it over with a pen.] Here, if it'll help. And I'm fine.

[He nods, taking the paper]

I don't know myself. [He looks to her for a moment before continuing with a frown] I apologize I wasn't there to protect you.

...

You don't have to apologise. There wasn't anything you could have done.

[Headtilt] ...?

You look tired. [He glances over at them maps Nami been re-making]

[He'll recognise them as the ones she'd previously worked on, on their trip to the barrier. Kefka burned them all with his temper tantrum. Interestingly, she appears to be recreating them largely from memory alone. And as she looks over that statement of his, her eyes will snap back down to her handiwork, voice distracted as she mutters.]

Well, you know me and sleep. One day I'll learn to go to bed at a decent time.

[Yeep, he's looking them over cause...he's curious and somewhat impress?]

You were able to remember this much?

[Something is on her mind...]

[ But she just gives him a small grin.]

I've a good memory for cartography and navigation. I can do most calculations in my head; I mapped out that section before, it's just a matter of recalling it. [And there's still a hint of smugness about that in her voice, because this is what she does at home, after all.]

Impressive. Of course, it is your job.

[fff Is he seriously trying to decipher some of that in his own thought bubble? I think he is]

Is this why you haven't been getting much sleep? [Back on that now]

[If he knows anything about navigational coordinates that's apparently what she's listing off ...which likely has nothing to do with the map she's working on, really. And ...no point lying about it, is there? He knows what happened.]

It's been a rough month. I'll improve.

And this is an outlet in order to cope with it.

[He's not really familiar, but these sort of things is just telling him to figure it out. Sides, it distracts his mind a little as well. Though [Been a rough week] does pop up somewhere in that thought bubble of his.]

Whatever works. [And keeps her out of the crew's way while this experiment is going on. Eyeing that particular thought of yours, Alexei, and she frowns.]

What happened?

[He blinks, giving her a questioning look. He's not exactly sure what she meant. Since the thought only came up for a moment and then out of his mind.]

You've had a rough week and you've lost your voice.

...Malnosso?

That sums it up.

[Add sleep deprive and headaches to that, but that doesn't need to said when it's noticeable]

Away for nearly a month.

I'm sorry.

Heh. Guess a sandwich won't help with that one.

[He just smiles faintly and shakes his head]

[Unless it can cure a headache.]

Chopper's probably in the house if you want him to take a look.
