IC: Too many Zeros

[thekingsgambit]

[Ah, early morning in the gardens. A time for simple reflection, rest from an overly complicated week, nostalgic appreciation of the flowers -- and a curious fire-duckling who has wandered into the scene to watch. And what is he watching? Why a well-sobered noodleprince walking among the rows, examining a plant from time to time, with a very distant look in his eyes.]

Am I just fooling myself?

But that means that we won't get a chance to find out what happened earlier, doesn't it?

[Looking hard at the ground.]

He may have gotten away, again. . .

[Pretending to still be searching for duckling.]

... In either case, Zero is still at the mercy of the barrier.

And you have burns that should be attended to.

[Raises his head, then gives it a slight shake.]

Yes. . . yes, that's true. . .

[Also shakes head.]

Come on. I have to obtain another coat as well. I will have to select my flower at a later time.

Are you sure? The burns really aren't very serious. . .

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Perhaps not. But there are several and that in itself warrants caution.

[Gives the garden a final look-over. . . and then takes a step in the direction of the cabin.]

You won't let me hear the end of it until they're bandaged, will you?

[Laughs lightly and steps forward to lead the way.]

Unlikely.

[Laughs somewhat as well, and follows.]

The same as ever.
