week three ❧ monday

[learnings]

[Post-everything awful, Nino's here to facilitate a conversation between Nanashi and Jaffar!!

... Not that she knows that's what she's here for, of course.

It's just sort of a thing. Nino and Jaffar are both on the beach, Nino poking idly at seashells and bringing back any interesting ones that she finds to Jaffar.

Coping after Austria's death.

Sort of.

Anyway now's your chance, Nanashi.]

[Nino, obviously, is concerned and is going to immediately head on...that way?

Though she also sticks close by Jaffar.]

Um--someone might be hurt! We have to make sure he's okay!

Are... are you okay?

["Show some goddamned sympathy here like your girlfriend, asshole!!"

... Is what Nanashi at Jaffar thinks at the back of his mind. But since he's gotten Nino's attention, he continues to ham up as he stops rolling around and puts a hand to his chest.]

O-Oh, Merkabah's tits...! I-I'm not okay at all! [He had to make up something quick...] I'm gettin' "Stuck-On-This-Island"itis! Y-Your big strappin' buddy there might have a cure...

[killerfang]

[ he's not good at sympathy, but at least he follows after Nino when she goes to check on him?! Half credit.

Of course, when he recognizes the person - and hears what he says - his expression flattens straight back into its usual neutrality. ]

... I'm not a healer.

[learnings]

[Look.

Even Nino... is not sure about that.]

Um... what?

[WHAT...]

[makeaname]

I-If he teaches me a legendary technique... Something mind-blowing--

[And cue some mock coughing.]

S-Something extraordinary! I might not die of... [COUGH COUGH.] ... boredom!

[killerfang]

[ WHAT.

Jaffar's gaze immediately hardens, and he shakes his head, reaching for Nino's hand. ]

... Ignore him...

[learnings]

[WHAT....]

I... don't understand, but...

Why do you want Jaffar to teach you something?
