[oh my god]

[STRANGLED NOISE--]

Don't duck my head under water. . .!

[EYE. MISSING. BANDAGE]

[voidbreaker]

[ give him some credit. but also shoulda thought of that before you lost an eye, huh akira?

but all he does is drop him in the water when it’s about waist high and immediately head back towards the shore. he said he’d do it and he did. ]

[survivaltricks]

[ASH SURE DID DO WHAT HE SAID HE WAS GONNA DO, HUH. Akira flails a bit when he's dunked into the water, but he doesn't go under so that's good?? probably??]

[with a few sputters, he picks himself up out of the water and sloshes back to shore, making faces as he does so]

[voidbreaker]

[ and all is right with the world. ash kept his promise too. it's fine. when he's back on the shore, he just kinda flops down, legs crossed with his elbows resting on his knees to watch akira waddle his way back up to shore.

haha ]

[survivaltricks]

[once he makes it to shore he carefully begins to wring the water out of his shirt. he might be flicking a few droplets of water at Ash as PAYBACK]

Feel better now?

[did you get it out of your system, bro]

[voidbreaker]

[ yeah he won the overall war though so he'll accept the droplet splashes. ]

It'd be better if you hadn't y'know. Gone and lost more bodyparts but I feel more satisfied. You should more careful though, I doubt any of the dead would want to see you too soo--

[ there's a pause as he stops midsentence, and then just closes his eyes very tiredly. ]

[survivaltricks]

[. . . . . . . uh]

Ash--?

[why are you stopping mid-sentence to close your eyes]

[voidbreaker]

I'm not finishing that sentence.

[ he looks. so supremely unimpressed. ]

[survivaltricks]

Okay, but why? Obviously the dead don't want to see my too soon, and I don't plan on dying, so. . .?

[what happened]

[voidbreaker]

Because it's a stupid side effect. I fell asleep into the memorial chamber last night, and now I'm spouting eulogies. [ like becks knows how to phrase a eulogy, just pretend i'm really good at it ]

Only I don't know shit about any of the dead so I just keep referring to them generally, out of nowhere.

[survivaltricks]

[. . . oh. lol. okay well then in that case, Akira's lips twitch in amusement]

Ah.

When we can write letters to them I'm telling them that you said nice things about them.

[TATTLE TALE]

[voidbreaker]

And how losing your leg wasn't enough for you, you decided to go and lose an eye this time to spice things up.

[ TWO CAN TATTLE TALE. ]

[survivaltricks]

Mmmyep. I decided to try something different this time around.

[HE AIN'T EVEN OFFENDED]

[voidbreaker]

0/10. Terrible idea.

[survivaltricks]

Yeah, not one of my brightest.

[he laughs a little, but the tone is humorless as he lifts a hand to brush his fingers against the eye bandages]

My depth perception is all screwed up now.

I keep running into things.

[voidbreaker]

...

Yeah, it'll probably be like that for a bit. You'll get used to it though.

...

Shout if you want me to randomly throw a punch at you to dodge, for training purposes obviously.

[survivaltricks]

[omg. cracking Ash a smile, then]

Didn't you make this exact same offer when I lost half of my leg?

[voidbreaker]

It helped back then. It'll probably help now.

[ maybe he just wants

to punch. in the name of friendship. ]

[survivaltricks]

I'm starting to get the feeling you just want to hit me.

[it's fine sometimes punches in the name of friendship are good!!]

[voidbreaker]

Do you want to walk into stationary objects for the next however-many-weeks we're here?

[ he absolutely agrees. through his knuckles. ]

[survivaltricks]

I don't know. Maybe.

[NO HE DOES NOT]

[voidbreaker]

[ he just gives him this exact look ]

[survivaltricks]

[look]

. . . so, do you want to hear what we found in the cabin or not?

[voidbreaker]

Deflecting.

But sure, share the details.

[survivaltricks]

[an amused hum, but he starts digging in his (dry blood stained I'm sorry) drawstring backpack for. . . three boxes of crayons! one is scented, one is normal, and one is twistable]
