[day 187] she calls out to the man on the street, "sir, can you help me?" (closed)

[ourlegends]

Who: Hilda, Yukio, Rin (N, AZ, Anna, and Colin later)
Open: Closed
When: Day 187
Where: The Hospital
What: Goddammit, Hilda.
Format: action brackets!
Warnings: A very injured teenager and probably a lot of yelling at her when she's awake.

[ After all of the drama of the previous night, Hilda had learned of what had happened that day before she and N talked, and found out that his castle had appeared on the Skyway. Not just another part of Unova, but a part of Unova that held a lot of memories for N. Memories that ... she knew damn well weren't all good.

She still hurt from their conversation, but she understood now why he was acting the way he was. She still had no idea what to do to fix it, so she focused instead on something she knew she could do: She wanted to see the castle for herself. She had to. It was a something she didn't feel she'd have closure on unless she saw it.

She didn't tell anyone where she was going. She slipped out with Emboar early in the morning after feeding the Pokemon, headed to the Skyway so that the two of them could make their way to the Castle themselves.

Getting there wasn't the problem. It took a while of searching, but they did eventually arrive at the Castle just fine. Hilda had stopped, gazing wide-eyed upon the crumbled remains of a once proud-standing castle. She could hardly will herself to move any more than that ...

... And that was her mistake. Something had begun to move into the castle, and it wasn't happy with the trespassers.

Hilda didn't know what had happened. All she knew in that next moment was pain. Emboar cried out for his trainer as she fell, now bleeding from her head and scraped up and bleeding more on one side from falling and sliding from that attack. The blow to her head made it so she was barely conscious as it was. Emboar cried out for his trainer, and tried to charge at their assailant, only to be knocked back. Hilda was lifted, with the intent of being finished off, when Emboar got up and blew a flamethrower in their attacker's direction. Now caught on fire, it let go of Hilda (who didn't escape that without some burns herself), who fell to the ground. Emboar scrambled to lift Hilda into his arms, taking the opportunity to run for it while it was distracted with fire.

He ran, as fast as he could, worried for his trainer's life ... ]

[ you could always kiss her, that'll shut her up. in a nice way.

but right now she's gonna get you back by reaching her arms out and squishing your cheeks, N. ]

[unwrittenformula]

[He's

not really sure how to deal with that.

What are you two doing.

Look at your lives.

Look at your choices.]

[ourlegends]

[ Such children, these two. She's just gonna stare at him and continue to squish his cheeks because what else should she do when he's squishing her cheeks like that?

Your move, boyfriend.

Or we could just sit here being children. ]

[unwrittenformula]

[Sitting here like children sounds like a good idea. Mainly because it is taking Hilda's mind off things.

And she's not really pouting anymore is she?]

[ourlegends]

[ No, not really. Now she's just staring at him and squishing his cheeks and waiting to see if he'll do anything else.

And she might be thinking of what else she can do. ]

[unwrittenformula]

... this is silly.

[Really, N?

Really?

You're just now figuring this out?]

[ourlegends]

... yeah, it is.

[ She really wants to lean in and kiss him, but she'd probably hurt herself if she tried. ]

[unwrittenformula]

... we should stop.

[ourlegends]

... Yeah.

[ She smiles at him. ]

Could we kiss? Please? If it's okay with you, I mean ...

[unwrittenformula]

Oh...

[Well.]

Alright. But don't move too much, okay?

[ourlegends]

Okay. I won't move much.

[ So she'll just sit here. And wait for N kisses. ]

[unwrittenformula]

[Good.

And he'll happily give those kisses.]

[ourlegends]

[ She'll happily reciprocate those kisses, too. ]

[unwrittenformula]

[Kisses are good.

But so are other things.]

You should probably try to rest now.

[ourlegends]

[ But she likes kisses. She likes them a lot. She can't deny that sitting up is really hard, though, so she nods as he says that and starts to ease herself back down into a laying position on the bed. ]

Yeah, probably ...

[unwrittenformula]

[But kisses do not trump needing rest.]

I'll be here when you wake up.

[ourlegends]

Okay.

[ She believes that he will be. He brought some stuff for both of them and all. All of the emotion and trying to move has caught up to her, though, and it doesn't take very long for her to fall asleep once her head hits the pillow of the hospital bed. ]
