[the tiny fairy stares up at him with big, stupid eyes. it understands this request, but gideon is so large... it flies up and sits on gideon's head. helping.
gideon makes an annoyed sound and whacks the fairy with her hand. it squeals. this is going well.
and as if on cue, there's a little burst of frustration from gideon that akira can feel, and a general sense of uselessness.]
she's quiet, for a bit, as they go. the fairy braces gideon up on one side but again i cannot state to you how much this fairy cannot do shit other than like, hold a cupcake, so it's not like it's doing much but pretending to help.
and after a while:]
Don't. [she says, squinting at the floor.] Let me pretend like I'm not being pathetic.
You can pretend. But... even if you don't, I won't judge you.
[This fairy is.........doing its best.
He'll let them into his room. It smells very floral inside, like a lot of flowers, but there aren't any flowers around. Jiji Devilcat greets them from the bed with a chirrup of noise, and he carries Gideon over to put her down on the bottom bed.]
Stay here, okay? Let me get you water for the pills.
she does go to lay on the bed, and the second that she's there she scoops up jiji devilcat. she's so attached to this dumb cat. she doesn't say anything she just howl melts into the bed.
the fairy follows akira. idk where hex is, he's probably with harrow.]
The fairy goes with Akira. Her infatuate with the cat brings him some joy, thankfully, but he leaves to get her something for the pills. Jiji Devilcat climbs on top of Gideon and starts making biscuits into her clothes with his tiny paws. If the biscuits hits some ouchies, that's too bad, cats do not care. The zone is biscuits.
In a bit, Akira comes back with a drink--but also some shitty fast food too. He puts it down by the bed, then starts digging through the desk that's cluttered with all of the things they've gotten: the sticky hands, the rubber band gun, the crab knife, etc.]
[owwwww... the biscuits, they're so cute but also, so painful. she nearly throws the cat off of her when he accidentally kneads at her stab wound but it's okay. she doesn't. she just adjusts him and lets him beat her up otherwise.
akira will come back to jiji devilcat doing this as gideon melts face first into the bed.]
Harrow said she could grow my fingers back. [gideon says incoherently, peering at him. but she will take whatever he hands her.]
[He does her exactly like he has done Ryo. He digs out some shitty fries and extends his hand and shoves them at her face.
EAT.]
Here? Back home? [A pause. He reaches up to scritch at the fairy in his hair.] You know if you get to the party, if you win, going back might fix them, too…?
Uh. How about we try to figure out how to put the flesh back too, okay? You either have a whole bone hand, or not a bone hand at all. Anything in between is weird.

It's okay. Come down here with me. [He doesn't want to tell Gideon to be nice right now.] We'll get her there.
[He leads her to the dorm area, trying to take his time so she doesn't tire out and fall.]
We're almost there, Gideon.
[But he doesn't actually clarify whether he means to the room or not.]

He has two pills which he forces her to wash down with way too sugary and probably watered down soda. He also puts the bag of food on the bed.]
Here, eat a little of this.
[He sits down on the floor beside the edge of the bed. His eyes look over and up at her, brows high.]
She said she could what now?
no subject
she will take the pills, though, and the fairy does little kicky feets and crawls up to sit in akira's hair. yay.]
She can grow them back. With necromancy. [duh]

she will eat a single fry.]
Yeah, that's what I mean, she can do it at home, with necromancy. [...] I don't actually know if she can grow flesh. She can put the bones back?
