I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.
Who: R & you
Where: The beach
When: 21/10
Rating: G for now
Summary: Still trying to keep out of the way of the general population as much as he can help it, R takes himself down to the beach.
The Story:
[The wind ruffles at his hair and tugs his clothes, and R closes his eyes to take a deep, unnecessary breath. He can almost feel the way the salty air should sting the inside of his nose, and he can almost feel the chill from the wind, and that almost is so tantalisingly close that he loses a good hour reaching for it.
He sits cross-legged in the sand, oblivious to the way that the position strains the tendons and joints of his knees. His fingers dig gently into the sand, and he watches the way it slides over his hands with an expression that could only be called curious.
His head tilts slightly as he hears steps behind him, and he glances back over his shoulder. The time he's spent here has done absolutely nothing towards making him look any less Dead, but he's finding that he cares less and less about people's reactions to it. If someone's going to shoot him, then... they're going to shoot him, and there's really nothing he can do about that.]
Um... hey.

It's when she sees someone sitting who looks rather...well...deceased, that her head tilts and she frowns, approaching and then kneeling down a bit. She's seen so many bodies in her time as a war medic. She knows what dead flesh looks like and that's concerning in and of its own. ]
Hello.
[ Her voice is gentle and she smiles just softly, looking over his features. ]
My name is Claire. I'm a nurse here.
[ Or something like that. She's not even sure if titles matter in Wonderland. ]
no subject
His body might be on the other side of this mortal coil but his spirit certainly isn't.]
Um. [R says, quiet and hesitant, looking all the world like the most awkward patient in the world.] I-I'm R.
no subject
It's nice to make your acquaintance, R. May I sit with you?
no subject
This, though, is another unusual thing - people don't usually want to sit with him either. He gets it, honestly, but does look visibly perplexed before he nods.]
S-sure.
['You must want something. What do you want?']
no subject
I admit I'm curious about you. I'm a healer back home and I wanted to be sure you weren't ill. But I don't believe you're sick with anything so now, perhaps I could make your acquaintance?
no subject
Okay. ['Try saying something else, before she assumes you can't manage more than two words at once.'] S-sounds good.
no subject
Thank you. I find that even though I've been here for months, I still manage to see new faces. Have you been here long, R?
no subject
[Time passes strangely for him. When he doesn't sleep, doesn't need to eat, or do anything that the Living use to mark the passing of days, a whole week can go by and feel like nothing.]
A f-.. few months.
[That sounds about right.]
