Does... does anyone know what I can do to help? I can dig holes and tunnels really quickly... maybe I could help with the barricades? I just... don't know what else...


[Simon is hanging around outside the house he and Kamina have shared for a while, looking rather pathetic, sitting in the dirt and sharpening his drill. The house is way too big and lonely for just one person, especially when he's used to living with someone as loud and outgoing as Kamina, so he doesn't really want to be inside right now.

He's been suitably freaked out since the sacrifice post and hasn't really talked to anyone about it, and with both Cloud and Kamina gone now and the entire village working away at protecting it from whatever's coming, he feels pretty lost in the flow of things. Bother? Console? Harass? W/E D| ]

We'll do our best and we'll win. We've got an army of ridiculously strong people on our side, and now that there's no limit to that power... Things are gonna explode. We'll do it. And we'll do it for all those people who can't do it for themselves. [He wasn't one of those ridiculously strong people, but he wasn't sitting this one out. He was far too much a fighter for the right to even think of it.]

[Action] orz late.

[That earns him a little smile. It's not really on par with Kamina (then again, who is) but the bravado is encouraging.]

Thanks...

[Action] dude you've been killing yourself repeatedly, don't worry about it

[Nah, brothers are special. Locke's just trying to make sure the kid isn't scared entirely out of his mind, and is somewhat prepared for what's coming up - fear can be a healthy preservation instinct, but fear on top of everything else might well get him hurt, or worse.]

Think you'll be okay, then? [He isn't going unless he actually believes the answer.]

[Brothers are special, and he's faced the whole pre-epic-battle anxiety before. This is just the first time he's actually made it to the battle, and without a weapon, besides.]

Yeah... I'll be okay. [And he means it, because he's always okay somehow.]

[Not the most confident, but... he sounds better. Like at least he can get through this. So Locke nods and stands, pulling his bag over his shoulder again.] Okay. I've got some more work to do, so I'm gonna get going, but you take care of youself, all right? Your brother needs to see you doing good when he gets back.

Yeah... I will. [Simon stands as well, dusting himself off.] I've got lots of work to do now. Thanks for your help.

It's nothing. I'm Locke, by the way.

Nice to meet you- I'm Simon.

[bandana-blue.livejournal.com]

Yeah, good to meet you, too. [Locke gives his lopsided grin and holds out his hand to shake.] Be careful out there - I'll see you around.

[Simon blinks, then nods and shakes it, smiling more easily this time.] Right- see you around.
