Joint Post! Like an Old Married Couple

[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!

THE NEXT MORNING...

[Even though he'd heard movement from outside, Jack hadn't stirred from his place during the night. There would be time to encounter those people later. For now... he was just going to keep watch.

By now everything was quiet once more. Half asleep still, he watches the bed with half-lidded eyes, wondering how long Henry plans to sleep. It feels like he's been sleeping forever.

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-09-12 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[For Henry, it might as well have been. Being restless and pained, sleep was not something that had come very easily to him lately; with Jack's presence, the anxiety had melted away, and his body was simply trying to catch up with what it had missed out on.

As it is, he looks surprisingly peaceful, even mostly tangled in the sheets as he is. It couldn't have been the most comfortable to sleep in that armor all night, but that was something that could be addressed once he awoke.

And it's some time after Jack does that he follows suit.]


...Mm...

[Henry shifts a little, winces at the soreness, and sighs.]
dontknowjack: (Oh just shut up)

[personal profile] dontknowjack 2013-09-12 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Good morning, Your Majesty.

[Jack half-drawls the words out with the leisurely style of someone who feels rather more relaxed than they should. Though he's prepared for anything, that sleep did him good - once he managed to sleep at all. He's not used to comfort. It was almost worse trying to sleep in a comfortable state than an uncomfortable one.]
helpusduelist: (To keep peace over the land)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-09-12 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[His voice alone causes a smile to spread across Henry's face as he sits up, stretching.]

Good morning, Jack.

[So it hadn't been a taunting dream. It was real... he makes a mental note to be sure to thank the Lord for that, later.]

[Jack really regrets sleeping in his armor.

But at least the discomfort meant it was more 'normal' to him.
]

You look a lot better.
helpusduelist: (Just to watch them all bow down)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-09-12 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
It helps when I can sleep without waking up at every little leaf that brushes the window.

[Henry runs his fingers along the belts of his armor with a sigh. He really should have taken them off.]

You seem rested as well. Even despite the interesting sleepwear.

[It's a gentle jab, but it's proof that Henry is feeling a bit more in line with his old self.]
dontknowjack: (Trouble a-brewing)

[personal profile] dontknowjack 2013-09-12 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Jack laughs a little at that, shoulders shaking helplessly.]

Old habits die hard... I had to be prepared for anything.
helpusduelist: (So your smile always stands)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-09-12 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Well, there is one I can safely put to rest.

[Henry pushes himself up, his leg stiff but at least usable.]

Follow me.
dontknowjack: (how does my hair stay like this)

[personal profile] dontknowjack 2013-09-12 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
...?

[He gets to his feet quickly, a curious look on his face.]

What is it?
helpusduelist: (They all know that I rule all the masses)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-09-12 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
You'll see.

[Henry leads him to the bathroom that he and Rosenkreuz share, giving a quick check to make sure it's empty before closing the door behind Jack. He gives no explanation, just stiffly moves over to the shower and turns the hot water knob.]
dontknowjack: (how does my hair stay like this)

[personal profile] dontknowjack 2013-09-12 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
...

That's-?!

[Indoor water, what?! That has to be the most fabulous thing he's seen yet!]
helpusduelist: <user name=deathdesu> (For a cause because I demand)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-09-12 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Unlimited and heated, on top of that. There are smaller versions everywhere with water to drink, but this is purely to bathe one's self. And it can be used as often and whenever someone pleases.

[Yes, Henry is sounding a bit giddy. This isn't the most amazing thing, but damn if it isn't fantastic.]
dontknowjack: (Default)

[personal profile] dontknowjack 2013-09-12 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
[...if it weren't for Henry's presence here, he'd be sure this was the afterlife. He sounds quite impressed himself.]

How luxurious... I've never even imagined something like this.

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-09-12 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
Nor did I... but it seems this future time is one of "luxuries." Something like this is commonplace. Commonplace! I'm almost tempted to stay.

[It's a joke, of course. There's nothing that could ever cause Henry to abandon everyone, not after so long and so much hardship.]
dontknowjack: (No you can't have the puppy)

[personal profile] dontknowjack 2013-09-12 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Taking off one of his gauntlets, he holds his bare hand under the water, feeling the hot, cleansing rush of it with fascination. It's incredible!

He almost doesn't mind the joke because of it.
]

Maybe you can take it back with you.
helpusduelist: (Just to watch them all bow down)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-09-12 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
I may have to find a way to do just that. They're called a "shower," apparently. And I've gotten a bit too used to them already.

[He inclines his head towards it.]

And I feel like I need one now. If just to erase the marks left from my armor.

[He chuckles a bit, setting aside the large ring and cape. That was already one weight off.]

Guard the door for now, Jack. I'll show you how to use it once I've finished.
dontknowjack: (Smugness is my middle name)

[personal profile] dontknowjack 2013-09-12 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Bowing his head politely, he obediently heads to the door, stepping outside and standing guard there. 'Air conditioning'... 'Showers'... This truly was a time of wonders.]
helpusduelist: (Take a sec to think about)

[personal profile] helpusduelist 2013-09-12 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
[It isn't too long later that Henry calls him back in. The king currently has a towel around his waste, drying his soaking-and-laying-flat hair with another one.

...this room already smells like soap and shampoo. That's another thing Henry likes about the washing supplies in this time...]


These are two of these you turn in here. One makes the water hotter, one colder. It's... surprisingly simple, for such a complicated thing. You can adjust them until the water is exactly as you please.
