Sabaku no Temari | 06 | [In Person] Totally imagine the icon is grown up, lol

[While everyone else was seeming to enjoy the new scenery, Temari...was not. She hadn't been anywhere near to this much water before and the cooler temperature simply wasn't agreeing with her. She'd toyed with the idea of calling Gokudera, perhaps he had something that would help her...but no. She'd be fine, she just had to get used to this.

As the ship rocked, she groaned softly as her body protested. Oh, for mercy's sake. Walking along the wall she made her way into one of the smoking rooms. She hated the smell, but it was warmer than her room.

Taking a seat in the corner, she laid her head on the table. She felt sick, she felt dizzy, and above all else...she felt cold.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[[Wonderweiss has the solution. If the ground is moving, don't stand on the ground. Therefore, enjoy his walking a few inches above the air, but then again that laying on the table looks not only fun but satisfyingly relaxing.

He sits down in the chair across from her and mimics the way she's sitting/laying on the table.]]

Hauuu?

[Cutting her eyes up to the newcomer, she didn't bother moving any more than that. She wasn't sure what he wanted, but she wasn't about to tell him to just leave.]

Pardon?

[Hell, she didn't even know if the kid could speak properly.]

Haaaa~~♪

[[Weiss doesn't mind when pleasantries are overlooked, he doesn't even know what they are himself, really. His hand comes up to his face, the other arm laying lax and doing nothing but being limp while he lays on the table. The hand that came up, moves over top of his eyes and makes the sign in signlanguage for 'sleep' but says the word:]]

dorm..ire?

[[Enjoy the fruits of UMA's pet Human, you may know him, his name is Gokudera.]]

[She really wasn't feeling well enough for this...Tilting her head to the side, her confusion was evident. Sorry Weiss, she really hasn't even heard Italian before.]

Dormire? I don't understand...

[The only thing that made some sense was the hand moving over his eyes. If he was tired, why not just go to his room...like hell she's walking him there.]

Are you tired?

[[Weiss stares at her while she talks, he doesn't really get most of what she's saying as much as the look on her face and he shakes his head, rolling it on the table and distorting his cheeks because of it.]]

Nhaauu.. uahh~

[[Not that it made a whole lot more sense than actual words there, Weissy. His hand moved across the table pressing against her face in the same manner his own had. Then he points at her.]]

[Grimacing as he pressed his hand to her face, her hand automatically comes up to bat it away. Gokudera was the only one allowed to touch her without permission like that, and even that was treading on thin ice (Ice, durr hurr).

Still, his actions looked like he was trying to either talk to her, or correct her. Deciding to run with it, she decided to play a litte game of charades with him.

Pulling her head up lazily, she pointed to herself and then pressed the palms of her hands together, leaning her head against them.]

You want me to sleep?

[[Weiss backs his hand away, staring at it where it was bat and ponders if it was a vicious movement or not. It doesn't seem to be, though she's lucky he's not as on edge as he was when he first got here.

He watches her movements, nodding his head. Sleep may just help her. ...Sleep may help everyone. Everyone's always so angry when they go on field-trips.]]

[Well, it wasn't like Hayato particularly gave a shit where he smoked... but the smoking room was a great place to lift cigarettes off of people. And low and behold... a seasick ninja.]

You know second hand smoke ain't the most conventional way to cure seasickness.

[Groaning softly as she heard the familiar voice, she looked up to her silver haired friend.]

...Forgive me for not knowing the rules. [Yes, she was a touch snappy.] Besides. It's warmer here.

[He chuckles and takes off his sweatshirt and tosses it over Temari, to be honest he wasn't used to the cold either, but he had gotten more used to it from his time in Japan.]

It'll be better if you get above deck.

[See this expression? Even giving her the sweatshirt could move the expression of 'you did not just say that'.]

...If I'm above deck, I'll be able to see where we are. Somehow, I doubt that would make things better...

[She could feel they were on the water, but seeing it made it so much worse. Her stomach already disagreed with where they were, the last thing she needed was to make things worse.]

Don't like water?

[He takes a seat next to her]

Well either way, fresh air is the best thing for you. Trust me, I grew up on an island. I've been on a few boats. Little dinky ones. Don't ride have as smooth as this. I know a few tricks.

I'm from a desert, what do you think?

[Okay, so she momentarily forgot that she never told him. Either way, how could anyone not feel as sick as she did on this thing.]

I'll enjoy my fresh air when I'm back on solid ground. Until then, I'm staying as far from that deck as I can.

...should have known something was going to happen...

This is going to seem kind of weird, but are you right handed or left handed?

[He rips off a small piece of his sleeve]

Well, lets at least get you outta here, this is probably the worst place to be if you feel sick. Where's your room? You can lay down and I'll crack a window.

[He stands and offers her his hand, suddenly looking a wee bit worried]

A desert? That... probably means you can't swim can you?

[No, Dera. That sounded more than weird.]

Right handed, why? [This was hardly the time to play twenty questions.]

[Rubbing her face, she had to agree that perhaps all the smoke wasn't helping...she actually felt a little worse than she did previously.

Taking his hand, she let him help pull her up. ...She hated the look on his face though.] 107.

and no. I've never had to learn how.

...We're on this hell beast, why would you need to know if I can swim?

Put this in your left ear. [hands her the little bit of cloth] I don't know exactly how it works, but it should help with the nausea, as long as you don't eat anything heavy.

[He starts walking her down the halls to her room]

Uh... well this "hell beast" is going to sink... really badly...

That sounds ridiculous. [Yet, she still took the cloth to put in her ear. It couldn't make things worse.

Leaning against Gokudera as they walk, she stops suddenly in the middle of the hall, a look of surprise crossing her face.]

Sink? As in we're all going to drown? ...How do you even know this? Last I checked, you weren't a time traveler, you could just be mistaken.

Well... this is the year 1912 I think. I'm from the year 2008. This is the Titanic, it was kind of famous for... um, sinking... really badly.

[He cringes a bit at the accusation that they're all going to drown.]

Well, they let woman and children on the lifeboats first, and I know the ship doesn't sink until night... so as soon as it starts goin' down I can grab you and try to get you on one before the panic set in.

That's promising...perhaps the author won't let things go that far? She might change things before it's supposed to sink.

[His words only served to worry her more. If it came down to her saving herself and watching someone drown, she simply couldn't do that.]

...You say that like some people don't get on boats...

Well... the Titanic is famous for sinking because... it really wasn't prepared to sink. There are twenty lifeboats on this thing... that can hold up to sixty people, I've asked around. Even if all the life boats are filled, there's still going to be about a thousand people who won't be able to get on a lifeboat...

[He comes to her room and opens the door, easing her down on the bed, and taking a seat next to her.]

and I know that the lifeboats weren't all filled... and not all of them even got off the ship...

[He reaches into his pocket and pulls out what appears to be a little tart candy]

Eat this. It'll keep your mouth from getting all gross.

[and now he is going to open that window.]

[Her eyes widened as she heard how many had died.

A thousand people...if it had been less, she may have been able to think of something to save everyone...but a thousand? Even if she was able to construct something to float, there was no way it would hold even half that many.]

At least we'll be on one, and maybe, if they weren't all filled we could get more people on them. More real people. The staff can drown for all I care.

[And Mukuro. She wasn't concerned with saving him either.

Taking the candy thing, she very trustingly ate it. She already felt gross, it could only help at this point.

Laying back on the bed, she watched him open the window, the sounds of the ocean pouring in once the window was opened.]

We don't need to keep that open long, do we?

[He chuckles]

The people on this thing now aren't real. This happened almost a hundred years ago. Even the people who survived this, are all dead now.

[He shakes his head]

No, I'm just worried about you and Ryuutaro. Everyone else can watch their own asses.

[He leans against the windowsill taking in the ocean air.]

Fresh air is the best thing for you... if it makes you feel any better, pretend you're on an island. Sicily was sort of like this, just a lot warmer.

...So if we need to, we could always just push them off the boats. If they're not real, then they're not really dying.

[Glancing up, she gives him as chastising a look as she's able to.]

Gokudera. You may not worry for them, but I do. If I'm able to save someone, I'm going to.

...Would you really sit there and watch someone drown when you could have saved them?

[Rolling onto her stomach, she looked back up at him. Islands? Really. Oh hell, the next plot had better have nothing to do with water.]

After this, I don't think I'm going to be going to any islands. I'm sick of water.

I don't care. It's not like they would go out of their way to save my sorry ass, why should I go out of my way to save theirs?

[He knew it was a selfish thing to say, but after living four years he learned the hard way that people generally didn't give a shit what happened to anyone but themselves.]

It's not like anything we do here is going to make a difference anyway, what's the point?

[He let out a sigh and shook his head.]

Well... if you want, I could teach you how to swim.

Because you're better than they are!

[Like it or not, she was trained for this. Generally it came with getting paid, but she wouldn't be able to live with herself if an innocent died when she could have done something.]

What are you going to do? Throw me into the ocean and pray I float?

[Not that she'd sink...for a while anyway. As long as she could control her Chakra, there was no reason she couldn't just walk back up the ship and kick his ass for such a callous action.]

I don't think so. I'm not going to need it after this plot anyway.
