gentle rain - finally the duval cr i have craved

[kerontribution]

You shouldn't sleep out in the open. You'll get a cold.

[Oryou nudges him. It's gentle by her standards, but considering her strength, that isn't saying much.]

yyyeessss

[fauxglove]

[Considering her strength and how Duval is a pathetic, little waif of a man? Her nudge knocks him off kilter, and he nearly falls sideways onto the wet ground.]

Excuse you, it's rude to wake someone up like that!

[kerontribution]

It's rude to let people sleep in the rain and get sick and die. Oryou is helping.

[This is not the first time she has been told that she's been rude and it will not be the last.]

[fauxglove]

Oryou is making an awfully big assumption. [Tsk! He is not so weak!] Besides, I was barely asleep. I just... nodded off for a moment...

[That is a lie. He was pretty relaxed and deeply asleep. Duval honestly looks like he could fall back asleep any moment, too.]

[kerontribution]

...You still look tired. Do you need Oryou to carry you home?

[Would that make up for the wakeup...]

[fauxglove]

No. I need to finish collecting rain.

[It would, but he would also combust.]

[kerontribution]

Okay. Oryou will wait until you're finished and then carry you home.

[A reasonable compromise, excellent work.]

[fauxglove]

Why...? You don't know who I am.

[kerontribution]

Oryou doesn't need to. She's helping.

[fauxglove]

[????]

People don't usually help others for no reason.

[Duval's jaded and STUPID.]

[kerontribution]

Lots of people here do. Have you not met anyone like that?

[you know nenonen-]

[fauxglove]

[Nenonen is an outlier and should not be counted.

Duval makes a face.]

I... have. But you have to admit it's not common outside of this place. Right?

[kerontribution]

That's true. Oryou's fine with being strange, though.

[She probably couldn't be normal if she wanted to anyway, and why would she want to?]

[fauxglove]

[He snorts a laugh.]

Alright. You've got me there. I feel the same way.

[He's spent all his life fighting to be himself, after all.]

Then, you can help me collect the rain water as well. [He offers Oryou one of the empty vials.]

[kerontribution]

Easy. Oryou can do that.

[She takes one of the vials and holds it up to start catching rain. Oryou Is Helping.]

[fauxglove]

[She's helping!]

You can keep a vial or two, as well.

[She's helping, and he's not about to let her walk away empty-handed! He's a prick, but not that bad.]

[kerontribution]

These are for healing. Oryou has her own healing powers, so she doesn't need them. But thank you.

[She appreciates the thought, but they'd be better used by other people without healing saliva.]

[fauxglove]

[Oh, hello.]

Healing powers? Like what? How much can you heal?

[kerontribution]

Oryou can heal any wound. Even if you've lost a limb, she can fix it right up. All the pain disappears right away too.

[fauxglove]

What about... internal wounds?

[kerontribution]

Oryou can fix internal bleeding and things like that, yes.

[fauxglove]

What if. [Duval blinks fast.] Your organs aren't your own? They're not even human. Can you do anything about that?

[kerontribution]

...Oryou's never had to deal with that exact problem before.

[Unsurprisingly, because that is a rare problem for humans to have!]

But she could try. It wouldn't make things any worse.

[fauxglove]

Hm. I'll have to ask him - the one who needs it - I can't make any more decisions for him. But, thank you.

[He corks his final bottle, filled to the brim with rain water.]

My name is Duval, by the way.

[kerontribution]

Oryou is Oryou. Nice to meet you.

Are you ready to go back?

[She puts the stopper on her vial as well and floats closer.]
