[ ... He has no idea if Archie is actually in pain or not. Best to get him out and see for himself. ]
Yeah. [ Finn wraps one of Archie's arms over his shoulder and warns: ] Hold on. I don't know if the tree will come with you. [ Without explanation, they teleport less than a foot away. There wasn't any moving sensation involved other than a lot of displacement. Just in one place then in another all in the span of a breath.
But hey, the tree stayed where it was. Progress. ]
[there's not actually any blood, he just TWISTED THAT ANKLE GOOD. what an old man. he wheezes slightly when he's teleported, hopping awkwardly on one foot as he tries to get his balance.]
--That felt weird. Ohhh, I might puke. Oh, jeez. [he rubs his face.] C-cool power, though. Real cool. S...so, ah, what was I saying. Right!
[he flops his ass down on the forest floor. mightyena comes over and presses his body against finn's leg in thanks.]
All imPorts are idiots like me, and I don't actually know who has healing ability. I reckon we could get the squad back together. Or... together for the first time. I woulda asked Bodhi as well, but I wasn't sure how comfortable with it he is, y'know? Didn't seem it before. Last thing I wanna do is upset him. I think I'd die if he looked at me sadly. Those eyebrows are too much.
[ Finn has yet to experience any discomfort upon porting around, but it's actually good to know that Poe's not the only who doesn't care for it.
He grimaces at the ankle, patting Mightyena on the head absently. Should he try to heal this? He's never tried something like a twisted ankle before. ]
Bodhi seemed on board when you brought it up last time. But, yeah, I meant it before. A medic team like that sounds really useful. [ Finn sits down beside him and very gently prods at the ankle, looking at it this way and that. ] Speaking of, I'm going to try healing this.
[ Transfering the injury more or less felt the same as it did before, though it was thankfully much duller on Finn's side. He's not sure how Archie's doing, but Finn's ankle is, uh- Yeah, that hurts. He grimaces again and tries to rotate his foot around slowly. Ah, at least he can teleport. ] How's it feel now?
[he nods as finn does his thing, watching with interest. him moving his foot...]
How come you do that? Do you feel the pain while you heal? [he asks, turning on his own healing power. it's like a rainbow vapour that comes from his hand. he puts it on finn's calf, letting it sink in.] Much better, thanks. You?
[he leans back when he's done, looking between finn and his ankle for a moment.]
Like Bodhi, huh? Gimme a call if you take on something too much. Mine just saps my stamina-- I mean, fainting isn't as bad as dying from blood loss or whatever. [he shakes his head.] I won't tell him.
[ Finn nods, absently scratching the backs of Mightyena's ears. As much as he doesn't like reaching out for help, Archie's is very much appreciated. ] I'll keep you in mind. Thanks.
[he doesn't need reminding; he stumbles with a groan again when finn teleports them both. fortunately, mightyena seems far more accustomed to it. it grunts happily at the new location, sniffing towards the stand.]
Ohhh... awful... but so cool...! [give him a moment.] Ahhhh... Nonah. Not far from your unit base thing, actually.
[let's not go into detail, but: archie is a master at drunken chundering and he has not really eaten today. that combined means there's not much of a mess and he didn't get any in his beard. okay. good. we're not talking about that anymore.]
I'm good! I'm good! I'm fine! I just need... to get acclimated to it. Whoof. Did you need to practice that?
Sure. [he whaps finn's shoulder lightly.] But don't blame yourself! Even if it is you, it's out of your control. It's not like you do it on purpose for fun.
[it's actually mildly upsetting-- archie recognises a lot of the patterns in finn's behaviour he's been through himself. he knows how these spirals go.]
These powers we get are weird and fucky things, are they not? Took me forever to build up the courage to try my water breathin'.

He bends his ankle again, relieved. ] Better, thanks. Yeah, though. I, uh, I take some of the injury when I heal someone... Don't tell Poe.

And uh, yeah. Thanks for keeping it between us.

[he smiles lightly, giving finn's forearm a pat.]
You wanna finish this nature walk with me or teleport back home?
no subject
I'll walk with you.
no subject
[mightyena barks happily, trotting along between them.]
I think he was gettin' bored of just me. I thought there'd be more dogs out in this place!
...
[there is a very clear sign that says DO NOT ENTER]
I mean, this ain't actually a legal area to be in, but still!
no subject
You think maybe there's a reason people aren't allowed in this area?
[ He very nearly points out the obvious but isn't that mean. ]
1/2
no subject
no subject
Yeah, absolutely. Let's get out of here first, though, kay?
no subject
[he's not bothered.]
Oh... teleport us! Like lazy bastards!
no subject
He grabs Archie's hand and takes a gentle fistful of Mightyena's thick fur. ] All right. Hold on.
[ In a blink, they're on the sidewalk by the park, right next to a hotdog stand. ] I just realized I have no idea where you live.
no subject
Ohhh... awful... but so cool...! [give him a moment.] Ahhhh... Nonah. Not far from your unit base thing, actually.
no subject
[ And pop, they're at Base One. ] You all right?
no subject
I'm good. Bit dizzy, but nothing I can't handle.
[he grins. then turns and pukes in a nearby bush. sorry, poe.]
no subject
Sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[ Finn fumbles and just... holds the collars of Archie's jacket back? He's trying to help. That's the point. ]
no subject
I'm good! I'm good! I'm fine! I just need... to get acclimated to it. Whoof. Did you need to practice that?
no subject
[ He's rubbing up and down Archie's back, feeling about nine different kinds of guilty. Ugh. ]
Poe doesn't like it either, though, so... maybe I do need to practice. Make it somehow easier on other people.
You sure you're good? We can stop by my place for a minute, have some water or something.
no subject
Ah-- it's fine. I don't think it's you. Probably just us that need to get used to it-- that second time wasn't so bad!
...I should probably get some water though. Ah! I'm stupid.
no subject
[ He's kinda pushing now, though, or else that guilt's going to eat him alive, so Finn leads the way to his unit. ]
Maybe it does just take some getting used to, but I'm the common factor here... Who knows? Can't hurt to try getting better, though.
