Joint Post! Like an Old Married Couple

[fluffydeathdealer]

[From just outside the jungle's trees, near the mountainside, some bickering can be heard:]

Here. It's probably fresher than you'd like, but it's all we have.
...I can't eat that, Bakura.
You don't have the option to be picky, Malik!
No...I really can't, you fool!
Tch... I can cook it a bit more, but we have to be careful, or the smoke from the fire will give us away!
Ughh...can't you find some fruit? Just look up.
Do you want to die? If someone finds you while I'm out looking for fruit, you'll have worse problems than having to eat meat.
But Bakura... [Malik sounds a bit like he might be ill.] My stomach...
O-oy! Hold on a little longer, okay? I'll see if I can find something close by. I'll stay within earshot, so if someone approaches, scream.
Just get a couple...I don't need that much.
Be quiet, you idiot. You need to eat something. [He chomps down on the meat Malik refused to eat.]
Well? I can't eat anything if you don't go get something!

((ooc: So! Tags will come from both Bakura and Malik. If we're going to tag you with both on a turn we'll put a "1/2" in the subject line, otherwise it's just one at a time. Also since the two of them are injured, we just ask that nobody with magic healing powers comes along to heal them up and stuff. Thanks!

[His shoulders shaking with supressed laughter, he knelt down in front of her, knowing that from this angle, Malik couldn't see what he was doing. Examining the healing wound closely, he resisted the urge to claw it back open again and sat back.]

It looks pretty good. You haven't reopened it or anything. But it's still tempting fate. Do you need a drink or anything?

[Raizing his voice, he called back.]

Namu-kun, you're the one assuming we're doing something bad over here! Even I know you leave that stuff to private rooms or beaches.

[moderndaydragon]

[She nods a little, moving a hand to touch it and wincing.]

It's a little sore, but not that big a deal. I just really wanted to make sure you were okay, even if it reopened it. And... some water would be great, if you have a spare bottle.

[She glances over to Namu as well, smiling brightly.]

Bakura-kun is just checking the wound on my side. He's the one who helped me with it originally! Besides, I'm used to losing clothes, so it's not a big deal.

[This girl was wasting their time! If only he had the Rod with him, he could speak directly to Bakura, but it looks like indirect means will have to be it for now.]

Oh...of course! Ah, that's a little indecent, don't you think? [He smiles just as brightly back.] I wonder what weird family raised you!

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Bakura just stares at Malik, simultaneously amused and confused.]

[moderndaydragon]

[Without missing a beat, Karasu replies:] Oh, I was raised with nudists, Namu-kun! That's kind of you to ask, though! It's a little hot, is it okay if I take the rest of it off too? Since you were curious and all...

[Shifting slightly, she gives Bakura a slight wink, showing that she's just messing with Namu at the present.]

... [ARGHHHH.

Malik can be seen just gripping his head in a small furious fit.]

No...no, that's okay! Stay dressed!

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Snickering, he strode over to get the water bottle, passing by the flustered Malik and flashing him an innocent smile.]

How does that saying go? "Keep your shirt on"?

[Stepping back over, he hands her it.]

[moderndaydragon]

[Karasu pulls her shirt on, giggling like crazy by the time she takes the bottle.]

Thanks, Bakura-kun.

[She drinks it pretty quickly -- hiking up this far was tiring, and the water is nice for the dry mouth and throat.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[The stitches on his face are itching annoyingly. Without thinking, he lifts a hand up to rub them with the back of it.]

That reminds me... how did you find us? I thought we'd picked a pretty well-hidden spot.

[moderndaydragon]

[She watches that, opens her mouth to offer to help, then shuts it when she remembers that... yeah, she knows nothing about that sort of thing.]

Ah, there was a girl -- a fairy, I think is the right term. She talked to the forest and it said it "saw" you here, but there was a dark, dangerous aura around. I came here as fast as I could, but it looks like it missed you guys, thankfully...

[fluffydeathdealer]

...a dark, dangerous aura? Nobody else has been here today. I guess we must have been pretty lucky.

Ahaha...

[Ryou laughs are the most innocent kind.]

[moderndaydragon]

Yeah, I guess so! [...and now she's suddenly leaning on you, Bakura. What do?] I'm glad...

.. [Shooting daggers out of his eyes at your two.]

Bakura-kun~ Can you come here a moment?

[fluffydeathdealer]

[He lifts an arm to wrap around her shoulders, giving her a loose but affectionate hug before he draws back.]

Sorry, Karasu-chan. I won't be long.

[Getting up, he crosses back over to Malik.]

What's wrong? Did you get some meat caught in your fruit?

[obeytherod]

[Low, so only Bakura can hear him.]

What the hell are you doing with that girl? Get her out of here before she blows our cover!

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Equally low-]

Calm down. She's useful, so I won't anger her too much.

[obeytherod]

[That has him interested.]

...How so?

[fluffydeathdealer]

Heh. [He leans forward, whispering into Malik's ear.]

She's a dragon.

[obeytherod]

... [What.]

Oh really? Prove it.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Heheh. Don't be a fool, Malik... Just play nice for now.

She's my prey, after all.

[Stepping back, he turns on his heel and heads back over to sit beside Karasu.]

[moderndaydragon]

[Karasu smiles at that for a moment before looking between the two of them.]

Is something wrong?

[fluffydeathdealer]

No, everything's fine. Namu-kun just had to ask me something private. Boy stuff, you know?

[moderndaydragon]

Ah, I get it.

[Yep, buying it totally. ...Oh, but.]

Sorry about the teasing, Namu-kun. I was only playing. I'm Karasu. Nice to meet you.

[obeytherod]

[PRETENDING HE DOESN'T HEAR YOU. Oh look at how interesting these fruit are! VERY INTERESTING.

VERY INTERESTING INDEED.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

[You're such a brat, Malik. Just to annoy you, he's going to lean over and give Karasu a chaste kiss on the cheek.]

Don't mind him, Karasu. He's a little ill-mannered.
