Ishida Mitsunari | Saika Magoichi | 010

[unbending]

[This is just going to be an all-purpose post for my darling Gabe at this point because Mitsunari already dominates my musebox.]

[ He gets a startled curse in return, half incomprhensible due to her own sleepiness, as she is woken from much needed sleep by her patient falling on her. ]

-- what the hell are you doing, Mitsunari?!

[unbending]

[Grumble grumble wince.]

...I am getting up.

[redbelltolls]

Like hell you are!

[ Magoichi sits up enough to grab a hold of him by his good shoulder, shoving him back down to the mattress. ]

[unbending]

[Oh god that did not go as planned.

He lies there for a moment, blinking the fuzziness from his vision, or trying to.]

Magoichi, what do you think you are doing?

[redbelltolls]

Keeping you from harming yourself more, you idiotic man!

[unbending]

[He breathes in. And out again.

And focuses on what's important.]

And what of Ieyasu?

[redbelltolls]

The battle came to a standstill.

There will be another day.

[unbending]

[At that, much of the fight drains out of him, and he just stares up at the ceiling, seemingly thinking.

...

He hates it, but in the end, he was incapable of doing what his lord had needed him to do--]

[redbelltolls]

[ At least he is quiet.

Magoichi forces herself to her feet and then moves to pour a cup of water from a nearby canister. She sets it on a tray beside Mitsunari's head with a firm thunk.

Yes, that is for you. ]

[unbending]

[He ignores it.

BBL, EXISTENTIAL CRISIS.

he has no time for such paltry things as water even if he feels like he has been asleep for a very long time and yes he is indeed very thirsty.]

[redbelltolls]

Mitsunari.

[ She snaps his name as well as her fingers to get his attention. ]

[unbending]

[It does startle him into looking at her, at least, though he merely scowls.]

What is your intention, calling me with so little respect?!

[redbelltolls]

To knock you out of whatever pity party you are throwing yourself.

You need water, so drink.

[ Yeah, no guilt at all. ]

[unbending]

[He hates you so much sometimes.

IGNORING THE WATER.]

There are more important things than this!

[redbelltolls]

[ Look at all the damn she gives. ]

Like what? Getting up, ripping your wounds back open, and passing out again? Or dehydrating yourself to the point you will give yourself heat stroke?

[unbending]

[. . . . . . .



.............]

I will be fine.

[that's a pitiful argument, mitsunari]

[redbelltolls]

Drink your water.

[ Now. ]

[unbending]

[He stares at her.

...And a moment later his thirst wins out and he huffs, reaching for the cup.]

[redbelltolls]

[ Magoichi lets out a relieved breath.

Good. ]

[unbending]

[That breath draws his attention, even as he struggles to push himself into a sitting position so he can drink properly.]

...It is not as if I'm in danger of death.

[redbelltolls]

[ Magoichi rubs the back of her hand across her eyes. ]

Now you are not.

[unbending]

You speak as though I was in danger of such a thing.

[redbelltolls]

[ Magoichi spins on him with a growl. ]

Because you were, you idiot!

[unbending]

I--

[He pauses, blinking.]

...Nonsense. I am fine.

[redbelltolls]

Now that there is not a spear in your side and you have finally stopped bleeding and you are breathing again!

[ She realizes she is outright yelling at him now, her own emotions getting away with her. Damn it, Magoichi. She was supposed to be the calm one here.

The woman turns back around, pinching the bridge of her nose sharply. ]
