Or a reminder.
[A little trauma souvenir! Very thoughtful.]
Were your injuries taken care of?

[ beep beep gonna be cruising around looking for dear hunter and will find him in the void. he's got zhanlu in tow just humming very soft music and when he approaches, he lifts a hand. ]
Hunter. Flapjack.
[ this stoic man saying flapjack is so real. ]

[ this stoic man saying flapjack is so real. ]
[that is so funny.
flapjack chirps from his position on hunter's head. hi. hello. meanwhile, hunter also holds mallow in his arms. a little sleepy kitty bundle.]
... Lin Jinghen. Zhanlu. You guys okay?

[Everything truly happens so much... Hunter is going to look for him a good couple hours after the execution so LJH can spend some quality time with Bixing. Wherever he finds him—]
... Hey.
... Hey.
[He nods, watching him.]
Good to see you, too. [A beat.] Were Lu Bixing's injuries... taken care of?
Good to see you, too. [A beat.] Were Lu Bixing's injuries... taken care of?
... Yeah? [A little curiously.] The shadows brought forward something you didn't know about him?
Like a draught...?
[does he want nyquil (no)
he holds the kitten up a little higher, shifting her so she's practically tucked against the crook between his left shoulder and neck.]
Zelgadis and I found her in the corn maze. Her name's Mallow.

Fast-acting painkiller. Inject-able.
[ among other things but yeah. he will just raise a brow as this kitten is presented! he raises a brow. ]
I guess better here than there.
[ what the fuck kind of person leaves a cat in a corn maze full of killer scarecrows... ]

[ he seems hesitant at first before he will just readjust himself to lean better against his seat now. ]
Lu Bixing and I, we were separated before we came here.
Sixteen... seventeen years... give or take. He thought I was dead.
[ a beat ] For a while I was, nearly.

[ well.
lin jingheng is not an animal person. but he has tolerated popcorn's existence if only for lu bixing. when flapjack flutters to his shoulder, he turns his head a moment to give the bird a Look like don't shit on my goddamn jacket before allowing him to remain. he doesn't know if familiars poop. zhanlu doesn't. ]
And they all love to fuss.
[ lin knows where that first aid kit is and will take him to it, but first a pitstop to the bathrooms to start grabbing some paper towels and wetting them to help clean him up before we get that kit. ]
... Those shadows. They nearly killed you too.

[Nods! Looking a little less concerned now that he knows he got treated, but only a little.]
... Well, it's one way to get people to think twice before coming for you from now on.
[Nothing says "fuck off, murderers" like a big harpoon gun.]

[He nods, furrowing his eyebrows. Human medicine is wild.]
I, uh, don't know why she was there. Actually, there was another cat too...

[His eyes go very wide like, oh. That sure is longer than he's even been alive.]
That's... a really long time. I never would have guessed. [His whole life long. Holy fuck.] What happened...?

[Flapjack squints back with the look in his single bird eye that may or may not be intended to convey that he will only shit the jacket of those who deserve it. Do palismen poop? We just don't know.
Hunter will let him help him out here. But he does look away when the shadows are specifically brought up.]
Sure, nearly. But they didn't kill me. [... A beat.] It's... probably gonna happen again, though. What Bucky said isn't going to go away just because we all know the consequences now. When it does, whoever ends up in my place will need to be prepared to deal with it.

People live for a long time in the Galaxies.
300 years.
[ he pauses a bit and then shakes his head. ]
I promised him I'd find a way back before we were separated. So that's what I did.
We died right after I saw him for the first time in... sixteen... seventeen years.

[imagine if i said he was running laps after all that
But, no. He's in the dorm common room! Sitting on the couch and looking at the new scar on his neck through his phone camera. For once, Flapjack isn't using his owner as a perch, instead sitting on the back of the couch while warbling in concern. And every now and then, Hunter glances at the bird... a strange look on his face.
That is probably fine.]

[ he tackles him into the ground and drags him back (no)
that's cute they have matching scars now :> (also no)
but jingheng is here and he has come bearing gifts from the convenience store in a plastic bag. ]
Hunter.
[ his grip on it tightens and it crinkles a bit. ]
How's your side?

... It's okay. [He's holding himself a little awkwardly because of it, but.] I've had worse. It doesn't feel as bad as it looked.
