What is exactly your relationship to Major Jin Kisaragi?

[after the failed mission that resulted in a near complete freezing and asphyxiation, Noel's now awake in the clinic. She's still bedridden as her legs have yet to recover completely. She's quite depressed by the result, but do come and cheer her up]

[she looks over him. He's more badly wounded than first glance. She can tell he's covered in frost bites and other stab wounds. His stance suggested fatigue]

Look at you... You're hurt all over... And this isn't even the first time in a few months! Why do you have to do such reckless things!?

... I wouldn't be a good friend if I wasn't ready to put my own life on the line for someone else's sake.

[those words sound familiar, Noel?]

[and now she's starting to cry, but there's a small hint of a sad, sad smile]

[firsttsurugi.livejournal.com]

Noel...? .. Hey. Jin's going to be okay...

[dontsaylacking.livejournal.com]

I--I--I know! Bu--But you need to get some rest yourself! I just... [sniffle sniffle...] Waaaaaah...

[firsttsurugi.livejournal.com]

Uh... [she's just crying now. this was what he liked avoiding. reminded of his own bloodied wounds, his face cringed for only a moment. steels himself through the pain as a guilty look crossed his face]

Noel... I'll be fine. I just...

[dontsaylacking.livejournal.com]

Not like this! W--Where's the doctor? We'll have them heal you and the major!

[firsttsurugi.livejournal.com]

And what about you? You still need to recover after what happened.

[dontsaylacking.livejournal.com]

I am recovered.

[he didn't want to move to touch her yet. she didn't seem like she needed comfort in actions. so he kept to himself, the guilt still present]

Look... Just stop crying. I'm alive. We both are... I used up most of my magic to heal Jin's serious wounds. I'll be..fine. So you should rest more. You'll feel better leaving here at a hundred perce--

[remember being reckless? yeah, Jin's serious wounds were gone because of him. but what about him? ... idiot]

[dontsaylacking.livejournal.com]

That doesn't make me feel better about your condition, Cloud!

[hitched gasp, eyes widening for a moment, and he just falls silent for a bit]

[dontsaylacking.livejournal.com]
