chaincutter: (you have ten seconds to appease me)

012 [action/written]

  • Aug. 28th, 2010 at 8:27 AM
[It's fairly early in the morning when Sigmund comes stumbling into town. To say he's in bad shape would be a severe understatement. He's got several nasty gashes, some thankfully starting to scab over, some not, most of them bandaged with what he could rip off his undershirt without getting his armor off. The side of his cuirass is dented in a way that guarantees broken ribs underneath it. He seems dazed, and his eyes are a little glassy, both from blood loss and... something else. Everything looks wrong to him, although less wrong - more subtly wrong? - than hours ago. Yesterday? He's not entirely sure. Probably only yesterday.

His breathing is shallow, and he can't move more than twenty or thirty feet at a time before he needs to crouch down and rest. Despite that, he's making this trip take twice as long as it would otherwise by refusing to go straight through town, and instead moving furtively and sticking to sheltered, out of the way areas when he can. There's something of the injured wild animal about him, and he'll react about the same if approached.

He's having trouble thinking straight, but he knows he needs... something. Things to clean his sword and armor, right. Edward would be upset if they... if they... Edward would be upset. So the smithy will be his first stop. If no one's there, he's leaving them one hell of a mess for later. Sorry 'bout that. The tipped rack and general filth were an accident, promise. With that taken care of, he'll be intent on heading for his house. At least it's a short walk now.

He just needs to rest for a while. Really. Everything is under control.]


[Written, shakily, much later in the day]

The creature that was in the village yesterday has been dealt with. Those who were attacked may rest now.

[Having spent the entirety of yesterday with Suki, Sokka hadn't realized what had gone down yesterday. He also arrived late at the smithy, only moments before Sigmund comes dragging himself in. But right now he's more preoccupied by something else.]

Winry? You here?

[If Sigmund had a clue what happened to Winry, he'd tell Sokka about it. He's vaguely aware of the fact that he should tell him what happened to Ed. His armor is urgent, though. He'll just...

Loudly knock things over first. Sorry Sokka.]

[That immediately catches Sokka's attention. His eyes widen when he sees who it is and he rushes over to help stabilize him.]

Sigmund! What happened? [He's going to try to maneuver Sigmund in the direction of the couch if the knight lets him.]

[Sigmund's first instinct is to punch him in the face and run, but the more conscious part of his mind reminds him that this is someone he needs to talk to. He lets himself be led in the direction of the couch.]

Edward is- [Please hold while he coughs up a little blood, and seems completely unalarmed by it.]

[Oh man, oh man. This is not good.]

Don't talk, just yet. We need to get this armor off you. [Which is exactly what he'll try to do. Edward can wait until Sigmund isn't in the smithy dying.]

Gone. Edward is gone.

You mean gone like... kidnapped gone? [Because he knew about that.]

[Sigmund stares at Sokka for a while, waiting for him to realize that if even half the dried blood on him was his, he'd be very, very dead. Then he blinks and turns his head away.]

He's dead.

[Sigmund hesitates before he responds. His voice is rougher than his writing at the moment, and he doesn't want to talk to people. But he remembers Sokka looking for Winry, and from the way she asks, it sounds like she has a right to know. The rest of the village does not.]

He's dead.

Nothing serious. [He's lying, shamelessly. Even disregarding all of his physical wounds - getting close enough to Edward to finish it hadn't been easy; Edward had... said things. Accused him of things.]

He attacked you.

[Briefly, oh so briefly he considers making a biting retort. And in fact, he's extremely lucky it's written (Haruki, that is) because on reflex he mutters something like "bastard" and almost yells "shut up" at the journal. But then... he sighs. No, no. If this guy's going to be like this even with his suspicions it's not worth it]

Fine. Good work.

[Haruki is lucky indeed, because Sigmund couldn't care less about his suspicions, and is more than willing to tear into him. He doesn't have the patience to deal with idiot kids today. Especially patronizing, smartassed idiot kids.]

Save it.
