אך בין רגע מתחלפת ביאוש

[Slowly waking up, he was still aching, his body numb. He seemed to be in a room of white... death hadn't even been his first assumption. He knew he was in someone's care. Death wasn't that easy, not for someone like him. He's not wearing clothes, he can't feel the suit on his body... but he's got a blanket over his midsection. He can feel the slight differences in temperature.]

Hhnnn...

[His dreams were inconsistent. Ranging from memories of torture from Ocelot in Shadow Moses, to making Otacon eat Sunny's shitty eggs, to lying under a truck with a sniper rifle. They were the kind of dreams that made you want to throw up with how... everywhere they were. He tries to sit up, but can't find the strength to move. Obviously being electrocuted at his physical age wasn't the best for him. He probably needed a while to recover... And that lowered his optimism even more than before.]

...Hhrrh... [He turns his head slightly, looking at the empty chair next to him. A guest chair... He half expected to see Otacon sitting in it, but there was no one. He sighs, closing his eyes. It felt like it was going to be a long recovery.]

I know you will. But you have to trust me anyway.

...

[God damn it.]

What exactly did you have in mind?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

He's part of our rebellion... I need you two to get along... recruit more soldiers, boost morale. Don't let it fall apart.

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

...fine. I'll do what I can.

Is he at all trustworthy?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Nods.] I trust him enough.

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

Understood. I suppose that will have to be acceptable for now.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

It could be worse.

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

Quite true.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Holds his hand out to Liquid, grunting a bit.]

[He sighed, shaking his twin's hand.]

Though I hate to admit it, brother, I am at your disposal. I will do as you request.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Smirks.] Damn right you will.

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

Don't push it, brother.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Hnn. [...And, he's suddenly asleep, lying against the bedding. His will power to stay awake just ended.]

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

[Facepalm.]

[Well, he might as well hang around.]

[...Not because he cares or anything. Just because he has nothing better to do.]

[Certainly not because he gives a damn.]
