[belatedly i realize that i should have asked you where the flea would be oh well
anyway, after three hours and some more time to convince ming yi to leave her unattended, shi qingxuan will leave the medbay! i assume she runs into mahito somewhere. you pick where, i don't know what he's up to.
anyway, when she spots him, she waves. with her yaoihand.]
BUT THEY CAN BE spins wheel IN THE PLANETARIUM. He's on the floor when she waves with her big ol' yaoi hand and it honest to god takes him everything in his gremlin body to not laugh about it. He can't help cracking a smile, though.
With a little wave in return:]
Good to see you in one piece and mostly back to normal.
[The flea is vibing in the gardens! Doing flea things!! Which in this case is just hanging out with the flowers, apparently. He really is just sitting on the grass, back to a whole bush full of fresh blooms. Seems like she's not the only one giving him much needed makeovers either, since he's wearing his hair in a braid today with a green ribbon threaded through.
He reflexively raises his head when he hears her approach though, which is BAD NEWS GOD. NOOOOO ANOTHER MEMORY--
It's disorienting, to say the least! Every time so far, that's exactly what it's been!! But at least this memory doesn't seem to hold any hidden suffering (or super open suffering), as so many others he's been privy to.
After that and the blood rain fade, he shakes his head, still looking out of sorts.]
Ah... Wow. You really hang out with a whole cast of characters, huh...?
[THE FLEA IS HERE!!! The flea is lying on his back with his hands folded over his chest, just looking up at the dim twinkling lights of a particularly sparse solar system. Bleak.
He'll look over when he hears his name called though, and raises a hand in his usual greeting.]
[RNG SAID OPIUM DEN BUT I FEEL LIKE SQX WOULD NOT GO THERE SO, BIOME IT IS!!
Mahito's sitting in front of some rose bushes, a pristine passionflower tucked into his hair. She'll probably recognize it as the one he was wearing during trial, too. When he notices her, he'll nod in greeting.]
Weird one today, huh?
[He didn't dip early unlike some people but LORD, WHAT A RIDE.]
No he isn't, but he is just sitting on the grass with a little pupper in his lap, flapping its big ears around. He'll look up when his name is called, though!]
Ah - hi. [Hi friend... He appears to be in a bit of a sulky mood, compared to his usual nonchalance on Fridays.] Wanna pet him?
[rng gave me the pool (of blood?) and i'm not going to lie i just had the funniest mental image of sqx standing at the edge of it trying to decide if she wants to try to get in and mahito just yeeting in to do a cannonball into it
which is probably not going to be what happens here but i felt the need to share it with you. but that does beg the question - what is the flea doing?]
[GOD I WISH HE WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO YEET A FULLASS CANNONBALL INTO THE POTENTIAL BLOOL. Unfortunately he is still in possession of one braincell... That doesn't mean he won't dip his foot in there at some point during this conversation, though.
For now, he's walking around the perimeter and appears to be looking for something. He'll stop when he gets close to Shi Qingxuan, gesturing poolward.]
[SHI QINGXUAN YOUR FUCKIN LEGGGG. Mahito's not expecting it to be back magically by the time he pops his head into the medbay later in the evening, just because he's using Childe's bone hand as a comparison point. God.
Still, he's gotta check... on this... absolute disaster team since he likes everyone on it. God.]
hopping from the pod to a cot when he speaks up. hopping, because she's absolutely still missing a leg, yeah. she looks over with surprise, loses her balance, and has to throw an arm out to catch herself.
w0, monday
upon entering the room and being greeted with that sight, she clears her throat.]
...what are you doing?
no subject
But he'll pause in his stacking to wave over at her. God.]
Ah? I'm making a chair tower.
[That explains nothing!! Helpfully:] Wanna help?
no subject
shi qingxuan has no idea what this is about, and comes to the conclusion that this is probably some kind of indulgence on his part. so:]
Sure!
[she grabs a chair. i hate this.]

Anyway, here's a flea!! A flea on the beach!! He's just sort of wandering along the tideline, holding a wholeass beach umbrella?? It's fine.
He'll stop once he spots square enix though, raising a free hand.]
