5 - [voice] Mai, I'm sorry...
[Zuko's voice is soft, and for once there is no emotion in it. Blankly, he just states facts]
For anyone who was worrying, Mai and I are in the hospital now. I should be home soon, but... I don't know about Mai. We were attacked by something humanoid with long silver hair.
[There is a long pause, and it seems he forgot to turn the communicator off. When he continues, it's apparant he's talking to himself, tone pained]
Mai... She was right in front of me, less than a block away, just around the corner... Why couldn't I stop it? If I'd gone in front, or if I'd even had time to jump in front of her...
Dammmit all! If I had my Firebending, I might have at least had a chance to fight! But I couldn't do anything... Useless. So damn useless!
[He stops suddenly, coughing, and his voice sounds ragged and breathless, still thinking aloud]
Why... couldn't I...do anything? I couldn't even get her to the hospital myself. She could have died and I couldn't do anything. I hate this place. I can't even protect the people I love.
[There is another pause, the sound of shifting blankets, quiet footsteps, and then a soft involuntary groan of pain before Zuko's voice is heard again, farther away (by Mai's bedside, actually)]
((OOC: For anyone who cares, Zuko's injuries, though they're all bandaged up now: His left arm is pretty torn up and basically useless right now, there is a large gash across his back, and more minor claw wounds pretty much everywhere. ))
[voice] - brb going to work now. D:
[voice] okay ):
[voice] - I'm not tagging at work, wut? >.>
[a short pause, and his voice is softer] I used to ask myself "why me?" and thought life was out to get me. But in the end, it made me a stronger person.
I just wish I could prevent the people I care about from suffering... I need to be stronger.
[voice] ooo im telling
[voice] Pah, I'm only typing up invoices. Boring : |
[voice] /steals your job
