Video/Action for Violet City

[neededlassie]

[Shaun looks pale and trembling, and his eyes are wide and scared. He looks - and sounds, when he finally speaks - like he's been crying. All he can manage are four short words, before his voice cracks and it's all he can do not to break down.]

Norman won't wake up.

You are in Violet still, yes? I could be there quickly enough.

[She's in Saffron at the moment, but she could always hop the train to Goldenrod and fly from there.]

Not really. I just...remember more things, from my own home.

[Not good things, but she's not going to share her recently gained membership in the My Dad is Dead club with the kid with the dad trauma.]

[neededlassie]

Yeah, I am.

[please come save him from Blake]

Oh. So he woke up back home?

...Does that mean that while we're here, our bodies are in a coma back home?!

[OH GOD.]

[bywiseguidance]

I will come, then. It may take me some time, though, will you be alright until then?

[does he need another facepunching? Ziva could oblige.]

No, it does not. I cannot tell you the difference, but when we wake up back home, it is where we left off, so to speak.

[Plz be comforted Shaun, she has not the energy to deal with much.]

I lived through the span of a few months, when I was asleep, though it was only for a week. Perhaps it will be similar for Norman. Or perhaps it will be less.

[Or hey, nothing at all! She doesn't know.]

[neededlassie]

Thanks, Miss Ziva.

[He might need another facepunching.]

...Okay.

[Yeah, he's comforted. He's comforted mostly because he wants to believe that he's not lying back home in a coma because otherwise his poor mom.]

I hope he still remembers me when he comes back.

[Then a facepunching he shall receive.]

He will. That, I am sure of. Until then, we will just have to take care of him, yes?

[Ziva's already calculating how quickly she can get there. The six hour train ride she really can't help, though she's been spending more and more time in Goldenrod lately she hasn't gotten to the point of finding a home base. Flying from Goldenrod to Violet will be the interesting part.]

It will be about a day until I can get there. Will you be alright until then?

[neededlassie]

Uh-huh!

[He's probably going to cry again when Norman wakes up, though.
Also hope you're ready for a hug, Miss Ziva.]

...Yeah, I think I'll be okay until then.

[bywiseguidance]

[Totally ready.]

Of course, you are very brave after all.

[She smiles.]

I will leave as soon as I can. The train journey, I cannot help, but after that it should be relatively fast.

[Y'know. Just. 10 hours by bird/dragon/giant dog.]

[neededlassie]

[It's not wrong, even if Shaun doesn't think so.

She gets a small smile out of him in return.]

Okay, I'll be waiting.
