✪ petal two [in person]

[Lily has been wandering the city all day, not looking for anything in particular but just attempting to explore. Being cooped up in the safe house had been fine at first, taking care of anyone who was even remotely sick or injured and making sure everyone who came in got something to eat and a chance to rest. She had even enjoyed the opportunity to test out what being a Healer might actually be like. But now, on the sixth day of being in the middle of nowhere, she's about ready to jump out of her shell. Hence the exploring the city.

Currently, she's perched on the side of the bridge, a handful of pebbles in hand that she's attempting to skip along the water below. Come keep her company?]

One... two... three. Hmph.

[Piccolo was attempting to meditate under the bridge. He thought he had FINALLY found a place where there would be no humans to pester him, but of course he was wrong. At first he was so engrossed in his meditation that he didn't notice the slight plopping of the rocks, but after a while the incessant plopping began to become more and more irritating. Eventually it irritated him enough to confront the human. He flew up onto the bridge landing on the rail behind Lily]

Do you MIND human?

Excuse me?

[She turns her head, gripping the ledge of the bridge with both hands, the rest of her pebbles tossed idly aside. The voice doesn't come as a pleasant surprise, and the narrowing of her eyes and set of her jaw is the only indication that Lily Evans is any less than pleased with the intrusion.]

Can I help you?

I'm TRYING focus on something and you're incessant pebble tossing is distracting.

[~~not to mention I was TOTALLY here first~~]

My incessant-- I'm sorry, I don't recall this bridge belonging in particular. If it bothers you that much, there are plenty of other places you can go to be angry at the world.

[Normally she'd offer to leave, and be the bigger person, but she's not particularly feeling generous after his abrupt interruption.]

[rage button initiated]

Now you listen here human! I have been wandering around this hell hole for DAYS now trying to find a nice spot where I could FINALLY get AWAY from you and the rest of your BREED. And I finally came here, and all was well UNTIL YOU DECIDED IT WAS NECESSARY TO THROW SOME GODDAMN ROCKS INTO THE GODDAMN RIVER!!!

[Okay. Helpful hint? Don't yell at Lily Evans. She kicks off the bridge, one hand perched on her hip and the other now gripping tight on her wand. It takes all her self-control not to point it directly at him.]

Number one, do not refer to me as human. If you need to refer to me, my name is Lily, or at the very least, Evans. Two, watch your tone. Three, I do not. Appreciate. Your. Tone.

[Oh he's seething now, and dammit there are no buildings for him to vent his rage upon, so have some more yelling as a consolation prize]

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU'RE NAME IS! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU ARE! AND IF YOU REALLY THINK THAT LITTLE STICK IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP YOU THEN YOU ARE TERRIBLY MISTAKEN!

I. Warned. You.

[She grits her teeth, flicks her wand, and lets out a very loud....] Silencio!

[He opens his mouth to try and laugh at Lily, that didn't hurt at all! And then he realized that no sound came out. He instinctively tries to scream obscenities at Lily, but that's obviously not working either. Now he's just pent up with rage with no way to vent... well almost no way. He fires a very powerful ki-blast, you can assume where it lands there will be a very large explosion]

[Oh, great, he's going to shoot lasers at her. Lily lets a shriek of terror, jumping backward.]

Would you cut that out! Merlin!

[Piccolo points to his throat angrily implying that he wants his voice back. He's smart enough not to kill you without having the spell reversed first. You're probably safe for now...]

No! Not until you learn some manners!

[Piccolo fires a volley of blasts off to the side, in part for a demonstration of his power, and part because blowing things up makes him feel better]

You're not helping! And if you keep it up, you can stay quiet for a while!

[What?! So he can't shoot anymore lasers?! FINE THEN!If you aren't going to undo it then he'll figure it out HIMSELF! He starts trying to cough while clawing at his throat. Maybe something's just stuck in there]

[He's been making nice-nice with the other deer again. However it ended a bit badly this time and Prongs is limping a little after a run in with one of the males. The Prongs part let the James part get a little too much control and now he's paying for it. Now there's a big stag deer collapsing at the end of the bridge. So much for sneaking by her so quickly she wouldn't even notice.]

[She's already standing (and a little irritable) thanks to the confrontation with... green goblin man, and her bleeding heart nature won't let her leave a blatantly wounded animal or human being hurt too long. She's a bit wary, because, hey, these are wild deer here and they may not be too friendly, so she holds her hand out palm-up and moves slowly.]

You poor thing.

[Well crap. Prongs struggles to get away from her, further hurting himself while James tries to assure him it'll be okay. There's an inner struggle in which James attempts to still the terrified deer mind he now occupies. He's just a voice in the back of Prongs's head, if you can even call it a voice.]

No, no, don't move, you'll only hurt yourself more. Come on now.

[She is concerned, and blatantly looks (and sounds) it, and she reached out a hand to brush gently along the deer's side.]

That's a good boy. Calm down and let me take a look at you.

[James manages to get Prongs to calm under Lily's touch. She's not going to hurt me. She's not going to hurt me. She's going to help. She's a friend. Calm down. Just relax.]

[That's better. Kneeling down to sit beside the deer, Lily tugs her wand out from its safe place in her ponytail. Her free hand brushes along his side, and she frowns at the littered scratches and gashes from what must have been a conflict with one of the other deer.] Oh, Merlin, what happened to you?

[Lily doesn't know a ton of healing charms, but she's proficient enough that the skin over-top begins to pull back together, covering the gash and hopefully alleviating some of the pain.]

Is that any better, hm?

[Prongs wants to run away again and James...James doesn't have the energy. That means he has two choices, just sort of sink away and let the deer take full control and end up dead and/or eaten by Kuja or transform back in front of Lily. Considering the latter would not involve death and, hopefully, would involve the redhead nursing him back to health James opts for that one. The deer on the ground changes shape and a very beaten up looking James Potter is lying in front of her, looking bleary eyed up at her.]

Thanks.

[There is a James Potter where that deer was. Is she hallucinating? Has she simply lost her mind from years of pent-up sexual frustration? (No, but it's a good guess.) She blinks, staring blatantly at him for a long, long moment before shaking her head, looking away, and then suddenly staring right back at him. And it's definitely James Potter. Where that deer had been.

So the only thing to do, obviously, is to open her mouth and screech in confusion.]

--what are you doing and how did you.. deer... Animagus?

[James winces]

Too loud! Don't do that, my head's killing me. I've been using it to fight bloody maniac deer for the past Merlin knows how long.

[He rubs his eye with a dirty hand.]

I-- I'm sorry, what do you expect from me, you just.. you were.. there was an animal there before!

[She's trying to whisper but she's really quite bad at it. Ignore the fact that she's reaching out to touch him, just to make sure he really is James Potter: side first, then forearm, until her fingers brush against his forehead.]

Are you alright other than your head? Is anything broken?

Don't think so.

[He tries to ease himself up and winces.]

Deer can be bloody brutal. I didn't realize that before tonight.

[Stop talking about it now, Potter. She KNOWS now, don't make it worse]

I just need a hand up.

Before tonight? How long have you been doing this? Does the Ministry know?

[She sighs, giving him a look that makes it very clear how much she disapproves of this. But she still helps him up, one hand resting on his forearm as he stands and the other on his lower back for balance.

Lily realizes pretty quickly that this is the closest she's ever been to him. The Russian wilderness is clearly making crazy.]

[James blinks up at her. This is not the way his fatigued mind saw it happening. But when she helps him he grins apologetically and moves his face closer to hers.]

[But he has to answer her, doesn't he? He winces thinking over what to say, but there's nothing else he can say]

Well, a while and no. The Ministry doesn't know. Don't tell them, please?

[He's... very close. Close enough that she can get a good look at him, actually see his eyes behind the glare of his glasses, and it gives her a little shiver of something that she absolutely positively one hundred percent refuses to identify.]

I'm not exactly in a position to owl the Ministry with my concerns, James. For now. When we get home, you'll tell them yourself. [It's not a question.]

Are you mad?! I'm too young and handsome to go to Azkaban!

[It's hard to tell whether James is being serious or not, his face is serious but his eyes are glittering and his tone has inflections of parody to it.]

[She opens her mouth to retort, but thinks better of it-- she'll cross that bridge when they get home. Right now she's got more pressing things to worry about.]

Let's just get you back to the safe house, alright? I want to get a better look at some of those wounds and make sure they're healing properly.

[James mutters]

Probably a good idea.
