[vermified]

[Somewhat manic laughter; not insane, just... more energetic than one ought to be comfortable with. Someone's obviously having fun.]

And here I used to think fire was an impossible element for me... what foolish thinking that was! I can do anything with it now...!

[Action]

[Edward's hanging around the area outside the Liberation Lodge (within a ten minute walk in any direction, probably), pretty much just setting things on fire and extinguishing them before they get too out of hand. This includes trees, other greenery, and yes, even the house. :|]

[In a firm voice.] Are you alright, Mother?

[Sigmund is still angry, but what can he do? Kratos protected Svala, and Edward had lost to the fire spirit. He would need to work with Edward just in case. Sigmund kneels down to check Edward's wounds, and attempt to gauge how long they have until he's able to move.]

Once he reawakens, I am taking him as far out into the forest as I can. He is too dangerous to have here, and so I'll keep an eye on him far from where he can hurt anyone. Kratos, can you guard my family while I am gone?

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can.

I'll also trust you to protect yourself out there.

Sigmund...I am sorry...

[Svala knows it's not entirely her fault, and that Edward had lost to the fire spirit's will, but she still felt somewhat responsible.]

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

[Sigmund is stroking Edward's hair to keep calm.] Don't apologize. The fire spirit is at fault.

I won't let him hurt me, and hopefully not himself. We will return safe and sound. I promise.

[Kratos just nods and crosses his arms. He'll be expecting Sigmund and Edward back once this is all over.]

[halgitamilf.livejournal.com]

[...Edward will be burning down a forest. He'll be-

Ffff okay no no, don't think about that. Svala searches for something to say- comes up empty-

Oh screw this. She spreads her wings out, flapping them a few times and taking to the air and, consequently, the nearest tree to hide in. Then she tucks her wings around her. Like some kind of giant, colorful owl.]

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

[Sigmund gets up briefly to go retrieve the stuff he packed for them, but then returns to Edward's side to wait. He refuses to think about losing, not when Edward is on the line.]

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

[Meanwhile, Kratos will head over to the tree Svala is in and... wonder how to get her down. Since he's being charged with watching Sigmund's family, he'd rather they all be together along with Lloyd. With everything that's been happening, the fact that his son is out there by himself is stressing him out a little.]

[Peek. Not moving.]

[vermified]

[It takes some time, but Edward finally stirs, eyes flitting open. Anyone get the license of that Claridian?] Nngh...

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

[Sigmund is waiting, watching his wounds and stroking his hair.] Take your time, Edward.

OKAY SPLITTING THE THREAD, YOU GUYS DO YOUR SEXY THANG

[vermified]

[What? Oh. Sigmund.

Wait where did Kratos go.]

...I lost...?

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

[Sigmund is watching him cautiously, hoping that his mood had improved some.]

I did not see what happened until you had fallen, but that appears to be the case.

[vermified]

[Finding out he lost makes him rather disgruntled, but he's more himself, at least. Sitting up n-OW. Wounded, right.]

...Ugh. I can't believe it.

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

[Sigmund urges him to keep still.] Do not worry about it. It was an unimportant battle.

[vermified]

[No way, Sig, D| Gotta get up and about.] Still irritating. It seems as if the spirit is quite overconfident and thrives for victory... a loss weighs on me.

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

[He'll move out of the way and offer a hand, but he's still looking at Edward with concern.] Perhaps you are fighting your own internal battle. The fire spirit should get used to losses.

[vermified]

[Edward accepts, letting Sigmund help him up.] I suppose I can tolerate it for a few days.

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

[That's a little better. Sigmund is starting to feel more like his Edward has returned.] Everything is already packed for our trip to the forest. We will work this out.

[vermified]

[Cue his uncertainty.] I'm... not so sure you should go with me, my lord...

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

[Sigmund is as certain as ever.] I'm going, Edward.

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

[Oh come on.]

Svala.

[halgitamilf.livejournal.com]

[What?]

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

[We gotta watch over Capell and Lloyd, woman.

He gets a little closer to the tree and holds out a hand.]

[halgitamilf.livejournal.com]

[Don't wanna come down. Go away, hiding behind wing again.]
