LOCKED TO
viliorate
[It's been a little over ten years since the two of them arrived here. Ten years is an awfully long time to be stuck here, but returning home isn't an option anymore. It hasn't been an option since they first started changing, and that wasn't all that long after they arrived. Kimbley had grown a tail and ears and Archer's eyes had turned red. It's amazing to think they had been so scared by those changes back then.
Things are different now. They aren't human, but there's no reason for that to bother them. Archer is a vampire (something that he found painfully ironic in the beginning, but he's adapted quite well to it, if he does say so himself). Not much has changed about him, appearance-wise. His nails are much longer and sharper, his eyes are red, and he has the stereotypical vampire fangs, but aside from that the only difference is the slight point to his ears. It's not like he could get any paler anyway.
Archer enters their shared apartment after work, shrugging off his coat and hanging it up before proceeding into the living room.]
Kimbley, are you home yet?

Kimbley, are you home yet?

...It hurts a lot. What do you want me to say?
no subject
no subject
I'll take pain over being dead.
[But that doesn't mean he wants to talk about how much pain he's in.]
no subject
[He hasn't stopped to think about how close Kimbley was to dying. If it had been silver--
No. He's not about to start panicking about that now. He can do that later.]
Is there anything you need?
no subject
I don't need need anything. But stay here.
no subject
no subject
[Because he's not going to be able to sleep until he's completely exhausted.
At least he's still alive. Had something happened...]
no subject
Archer finally sits down, looking as awkward as ever. He doesn't know what to say.]
no subject
It's awkward, and his grip isn't as strong as it could be, and he's careful not to dig his claws into Archer's skin, but it's there.]
no subject
no subject
[Kimbley has never been that careful, even after all of these years. This is just the first time he's noticed that it's an actual problem.]
no subject
[He's always been careful, but he's never tried to reign Kimbley in. He's always let Kimbley do whatever he wants. That was a mistake.]
no subject
If accepting handouts is how I avoid getting shot again...
[He's not going to be happy, but]
I'll do whatever you ask of me.
no subject
[Right now he doesn't want to think about it.]
no subject
I know.
At least he didn't shoot both of us.
no subject
[If they were both injured that would just be depressing. At least this way he can provide for Kimbley, should it take him awhile to heal.]
no subject
You don't need to look after him, even if it was Kimbley's recklessness that got him shot in the first place.]
At least the doctor was able to remove the bullet without needing to shave all of the fur off. That would have been embarrassing.
no subject
At least there's that.
[Though he thinks shaving the fur off to get the bullet out wouldn't be that bad at all.]
no subject
...it's not even that he's warmer with it because he never notices the cold anymore, he'd just prefer to have it there.]
The bandages will hide the damn bald patch anyway.
no subject
no subject
[And given himself a horrible infection.]
no subject
[The idea is gross too, ugh.]
no subject
[Not really.
...and it's not like you'd have been the one digging around, Archer!]
no subject
It's better not to have to worry about that.
no subject
Thank you. For helping me.
[He should say that, right?]
