[Her writing is rushed, a little bigger than she would normally write, in her haste to get the words down on the page.]

What the bloody hell happened while I was away?

[A slight pause, and her next writing is almost calm.]

Precisely how long have I been away?

-Fred

[ooc: I'm assuming 00 was asleep when Fred got home.]

Food is food. You eat it. It nourishes your body.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

And certain other things aren't good for your body?

[spandexisyouth]

What?

NICE ICON FAIL THERE.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Nothing, never mind.

Yeah, yeah, say it to someone who hasn't been up for like 24 hours straight now. <3

[spandexisyouth]

I am not sure what you were saying.

Then go to bed?

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Doesn't matter. You're sleeping on the couch.

I'm not tired now for some reason.

[spandexisyouth]

Why? I haven't left the house! Fred is coming over!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

You tried. After being told no many times.

[spandexisyouth]

Then I might as well go for a walk anyway since the consequences will be the same.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Go ahead. But then you'll have to deal with Fred's anger too.

[spandexisyouth]

Then I shall walk after she goes home.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Fine.

[spandexisyouth]

Fine back.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

What are you: 12? Genius?

[spandexisyouth]

No. And that is why if I think I am able, after spending a full week doing nothing in the Wilderness as I recovered, to walk to the house of a friend, albeit slowly, then there should not be so much of a problem.

I am injured but I am not dying.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Alright.

Give Fred my regards. I'm taking Tenzou for a walk.

[spandexisyouth]

Bell...

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Give Fred a hug and try not to let her tie you to a bed. As much as I know she enjoys that.

[spandexisyouth]

You can stay and see her. I will go to the room and... stay.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

I'm not trying to keep you on a leash, Gai. Do what you want.

[spandexisyouth]

I do not want to hurt you. And sometimes I do not know the balance between not hurting you and still staying independant when I am not completely healthy.

Being inside for this much is frustrating. I would like to go outside a little bit. But I would like to not fight with you more.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

I'm fine, Gai. Don't worry. [But if you saw you...and Genius...and Stoneface...when I found you...]

Tenzou wants outside too. We could go sit out there and wait for Fred? Just bundle up.

[spandexisyouth]

I am not sure that you are fine, if you are thinking about missing Fred's visit.

[A pause.] All right. I will bundle up and sit with you.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

[She wants to see you, Gai.] I was conveniently disappearing so she could have her way with you.

Ok.

[spandexisyouth]

[And you, Bell.] She is not interested in me like that. If she tied me up it would be to leave me there.
