[ room filter ]

[ gil hasn't been in his room lately, trying to get out more. fresh air and all that jazz. anything to keep him distracted with recent events and the fact elliot really knocked him around verbally earlier.

he pauses outside his door, feeling something is very wrong. slowly, he turns the knob and pushes the door open quietly and immediately spots a figure in the dark of his room-- in his bed? so, he reaches for his gun and points it at whoever or whatever it is-- flicking the light open at once ]

[ sometime later. or before elliot. OH PARADISA TIME. ]

[ allen ]

Are you available right now?

/gets the machete

[ elliot just keeps surprising him and he gets tugged. he looks up at elliot with one eye, the other squinting because of his headache ]

oh shi- /slenders like the wind!

[imply.livejournal.com]

[be a man about the headache, Gil. If Elliot can rage trough one, you should be able to handle not thinking through one ♥.]

I'm not going to abandon you just like that. [because i'm not you.]

[invokes.livejournal.com]

[ he gets up but is still clearly guilt-ridden ]

Of course.

[imply.livejournal.com]

You need me right now, Gil. I'm not going to make the same mistakes you did.

[he tugs him back down the hall, retracing their steps.]

[invokes.livejournal.com]

[ make up your mind you bipolar child. at least gil's headache has subsided. ]

I'm not going to either. Not here.

[imply.livejournal.com]

[NEVER. he's always right, anyway. don't forget that.

...he just figured that he should practice what he preaches every once in a while.]

I'll believe it when I see it.

[ of course. that's how elliot is. he always needed proof before accepting anything and even then? sometimes proof was probably not enough. ]

[invokes.livejournal.com]

[ he stops in his tracks, putting a hand on elliot's shoulder. ]

Elliot.

[imply.livejournal.com]

[he had learned a while ago never to simply accept something on faith. doing so often led to disappointment. and while he was also apt to not even accept proof, sometimes he was at least willing enough to yield a small bit.

...which was better than nothing. the sudden stop illicited a momentary surpise before he fully stopped as well, still holding onto the other's wrist.]

What is it, Gilbert?

[invokes.livejournal.com]

[ gives a firm squeeze on elliot's shoulder because the last noah? made gil angry. rhode, that psychotic girl. ]

Those people the other day. They're called Noah and you shouldn't go anywhere near them.

[imply.livejournal.com]

[he frowned a bit at that, almost bristling a bit. he knew that Gil meant it as advice, but it still sounded a bit like he was trying to tell him what to do.]

What's so special about them?

[invokes.livejournal.com]

They're dangerous. Someone told me about them-- I don't know what they are entirely capable of but one of them has killed before. The Noah are the enemy of the Exorcists here-- Allen Walker and his friends.

[imply.livejournal.com]

You hang around with dangerous people who have killed before as well, you know.

[it wasn't him defending them at all, simply saying that to say such a thing was pretty much the pot calling the kettle black.]why such a thing should be heeded, all you are doing is wasting your breath.

[invokes.livejournal.com]

[ frowns ]

These Noah are different. I'm pretty sure they can only be killed by the Exorcists.

...and even here death doesn't last long.

[imply.livejournal.com]

That gives it more sense, then. You could have just said it in the beginning. [brb. going to kill something to see if that second statement is true.

...just kidding. he'd never do that.]

I'll be careful.

[invokes.livejournal.com]

I don't really know much about them-- other than what Lenalee told me.

...good. [ because he'd feel even more guilty if something happened to elliot ]

[imply.livejournal.com]

I'll see what I can find out.

[way to go, Gil. now Elliot has to go find out more information than you so he can educate you. as usual.]

[imply.livejournal.com]

[and, of course, distraction was a go.

giving him a tug again, he started to try and pull him along once more.]

Now let's go. I'm tired and want to go back to bed.

[invokes.livejournal.com]

[ he''ll let himself be guided but the land on elliot's shoulder instinctively goes up on elliot's head for a second. that'll do elliot. that'll do. ]

We can look for your room tomorrow then.

[imply.livejournal.com]

[good boy, Gil. you're learning. he'll let that small transgression pass for the time being.]

That sounds fine to me.

[don't worry, Gil. he'll let you tag along.]

[invokes.livejournal.com]

[ nods. elliot's really good at making people feel bad-- and knocking some sense into them but it hurts. ;A; ]

Have you eaten at all since arriving?

[imply.livejournal.com]

[it's a finely honed skill of his that he has been learning to perfect. sometimes it takes a good dose of reality to kick someone out of their fantasy world.]

I'm not hungry.

[...that was a no.]

[invokes.livejournal.com]

[ a heavy sigh. ]

You should always eat even a little to preserve some strength.

[imply.livejournal.com]

Then go get me something to eat.

[you were a servant, after all, Gil ♥.]

[invokes.livejournal.com]

[ but we're equal when oz isn't around >O ]

Can I have some soup? [ ghost appears seconds later holding a bowl of hot soup ]
