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.

Yeah, my friend Emily was here for a while... And Miss Ziva is coming tomorrow.

[He's alone for right now, though.]

Also my team's here too.

[There's that, at least.]

It's good that you have your friends. [slight pause] Will you be fine?

[neededlassie]

[He hesitates.]

I think so. ...It's not really me I'm worried about.

video

[aburame]

... There is nothing much that can be done except for having faith that they will wake.

Re: video

[neededlassie]

...I know it. [oh believe me he knows it.] But I can't help it anyway.

I'll be okay until he wakes up. My team can protect me from anything.

[aburame]

[He nods.]

And keeping others around you will make the wait seem shorter.

video

[neededlassie]

Yeah, I guess. It's hard when you don't know how long it's going to be.

video

[aburame]

It may be hard, but you said you will be fine. I believe you will be.

video

[neededlassie]

Thanks, uh...

What's your name?

video

[aburame]

... Shino. [You'd think after so many introductions, he'd be better at this...]

And yourself?

video

[neededlassie]

I'm Shaun.

It's nice to meet you. I hope your friend wakes up soon.

[aburame]

The next time we speak, both of our friends will be awake. That is what I expect.

[It's broken logic, but he's going to make that claim. Why? Because Yumi can't possibly return back home for good if part of her remains in this place. She will wake up because she has time left, here.

So until then, Shaun.]

[neededlassie]

Well I hope that you're right.

Talk to you later, I guess.
