Thoughts Best Unspoken [Kaelon and Chelsea]

[Kaelon N. Reeve]

Kaelon laid Chelsea down gently on the couch.

He had taken her to his small apartment in the seventh floor tower so that he could watch over her until she awoke. Kaelon was dreadfully grateful that it was a weekend, meaning he had no classes to occupy his time.

In lieu of having any of her clothes in his abode, and not wanting to leave her in her torn, wet, and bloody dress, he had changed her earlier into... Well, a pair of his shorts (more frequently used as boxers, but it was the only thing that wouldn't just fall off of her...) and a T-shirt, which was ridiculously oversized on her. But the door was locked, so no one would be intruding upon her so ridiculously (and admittedly suggestively--but it was unintentional!) dressed.

Lighting a fire in the grate, he sat stiffly (his wounds were not healed completely nor exceptionally well, and were still rather painful; he was also quite cold) on the floor in front of the couch, stroking Chelsea's face with one finger. Slowly, the cold seeped from his body and his head drooped onto the edge of the couch; Kaelon was exhausted.

(Don’t worry about it. She was stabbed in the back and slashed across the chest, but I don’t care enough to make you fix it. XP I love you too much, Dufus!)

Chelsea woke with a cough and groaned. She felt as though she had been run over by a steam roller. Something felt…different….She opened her eyes and found herself on a couch with…Kaelon! He was slumped over a bit and slowly, she moved her hand to his forearm.
“[red]Where are we?[/red]”

She looked around. She found herself in different clothes….Kaelon’s shirt and….his boxers. She blushed furiously (or maybe it was just feverish) and looked around. She knew where they were. “[red]How did you find me?[/red]” she asked.

She didn’t know how Kaelon had found her. She just awoke to find him with her on the ground. “[red]And….[/red]” she started hesitantly. “[red]What happened to my dress…?[/red]”

[Kaelon N. Reeve]

Kaelon picked up his head, coming out of his not-quite-doze. He blinked sleepily at Chelsea for a minute, before answering slowly, "I finally found my apartment a week ago. Your dress is... in my room. I didn't have any of your clothes or the password to your rooms, but your dress was wet and torn, so..." he gestured vaguely at what she was wearing.

Sitting up somewhat, Kaelon uncrossed his legs and leaned back, supporting himself on his arms. "Actually, I found you completely by accident. I found your stuff down by the lake and realized you must have been swimming, so I just sat there but then..." he reached around the side of the couch, fishing Chelsea's inkstained journal out of her bag to show to her "...this exploded, and I saw you at the surface, and... Well, I went and fished you out." He shrugged slightly, running the tips of his fingers across the back of her hand and wrist lightly as he spoke.

[~::Chelsea::~]

Chelsea flushed furiously when she realized that , in changing her clothes, Kaelon had probably seen quite a bit.

“[red]…exploded…? My stuff--wasn’t that in my bag?[/red]” she asked somewhat sharply. She immediately closed her eyes and sighed softly to herself. “[red]I’m sorry,[/red]” she apologized. “[red]If you hadn’t come after me, I’d probably be dead….no. I would be dead.[/red]” She opened her eyes.

“[red]Thank you,[/red]” she whispered, hesitantly taking the journal from him. She stared at it momentarily and thought that it was best to discuss it some other time. Instead, she looked around.


“[red]The apartment is nice,[/red]” she commented. She turned her attention back to Kaelon. “[red]Though if one were to walk in at this moment, there might be a bit of surprise at how…NOT innocent this looks,[/red]” she said, smiling. She gestured to the clothing that she wore. ‘[red]Not to mention had they seen you removing the clothes.[/red]”

Of course, she was just teasing him.

[Kaelon N. Reeve]

Kaelon raised his eyebrows, but his expression softened when she left the question about her bag behind. Her stuff hadn't really been inside the bagg, but he hadn't touched it until it had started... making noise. He smiled softly in response to her thanks.

"I'm fairly happy with the apartment, " he voiced his thoughts in addition to hers, "particularly..." Kaelon glanced pointedly at the door, "...that."

The door in question had an obnoxiously massive row of various locks, both manual and magic, running down the edge of the door, and Kaelon chuckled in amusement as he spoke.

"So, " he continued, his tone mildly flirtatious, "I doubt there's really any question of anyone just walking in."

Growing a bit more serious, though still light in tone, he inquired with concern, "Do you feel all right?"

[~::Chelsea::~]

Chelsea glanced over at the locks with a grin and turned back to Kaelon, the smile remaining after he asked her. "[red]Swell,[/red]" she said, it not sounding sarcastic. It wasn't meant to. She reached out to touch his hand and was shaken when the wrong hand moved. A frown was on her face for a moment, but she covered it up in a flash.

Again she had concealed it from Kaelon...she just hoped that he hadn't seen.

"[red]How are you?[/red]"she asked in reply.

[Kaelon N. Reeve]

Kaelon chuckled at her response, so very her, completely missing her flash of discontent.

"I can't say I'm in nearly as good condition, " he mused, "but besides being stiff and a little beaten about, I can't label myself damaged property. I wasn't too concerned with my injuries."

[~::Chelsea::~]

"[red]Lucky you,[/red]" she muttered under her breath. She smiled at him. "[red]I'm glad. You don't look too bad,[/red]" she said.

She tapped her finger and clenched her jaw as it was still the wrong hand.

"[red]So....[/red]" Chelsea sat up and looked around. "[red]Was my wand in my hand?[/red]" she asked suddenly, remembering that she didn't have it ON the beach after she was awake for a few moments.

She didn't know that it had sunken back into the loake.

[Kaelon N. Reeve]

Kaelon's eyes slid sideways as he thought back, and he absently tapped each of his fingers atop one of the knuckles of Chelsea's right hand. Looking back at her and lacing his fingers through hers at the same time, he said,

"I don't remember seeing it, but I was rather fixed on making sure YOU were safe. I never even thought to look for it, I;;m sorry."

[~::Chelsea::~]

"[red]No, don't apologize. It's nowhere near your fault. I'll just have to get a new one,[/red]" she said sincerely, though part of it was a lie. She planned on going back to the lake later and trying to find it. It wasn't as if she could just say 'accio wand'.

"[red]I could have sworn I grabbed it though.[/red]"

And she had. The first time it had fallen. She meant to stroke his hand with her thumb, but the wrong thumb moved. "[red]God damnit![/red]" she cursed loudly. After a moment of realization that she had indeed yelled that out loud, she made something up.

"[red]I just really liked my wand was all,[/red]" she lied lamely. Hopefully it would be a simple enough lie for him to believe.

[Kaelon N. Reeve]

(I am confuzzled by her hand issue, are they like... functioning backwards or something?)

[~::Chelsea::~]

si. The wrong hand is moving. She wants the left, the right moves. I watched it on House once

[Kaelon N. Reeve]

Kaelon frowned in concern, not so sure.

"Are you sure you're okay? You keep twitching..." He glanced down at her hands, taking them both in his own.

"Do you want to go look for your wand before going to buy a new one? I'll go with you and help, " he offered gently.

[~::Chelsea::~]

"[red]I'm not twitching,[/red]" she answered calmly. Then she nodded. "[red]Yes. I was rather taken with my wand. Put a spell on it once so no one.....[/red]" she blinked twice slowly at her own stupidity. "[red]So no one could summon it. Thought it would be helpful in a duel at some point. Guess not...[/red]"

She sat up slowly and sighed.

[ddddyyyy]

I agree with Kaelon N. Reeve
