---

[ Right after the dumb tour at CERES, Athena heads straight for the medical facility looking like a total hobo. Her hair is wet, and so is her dress, and she has no shoes on. And is that blood? Yeah, that's blood dripping from her ankles. It's painful to walk, but what can she do? Oh, and she also reeks. Like garbage. Have you ever met the personification of garbage? That's Athena.

Eventually, she manages to arrive at the medical facility's ER where she immediately gets tended to. They also make her take a shower, or ten. The robot doctors disinfect her legs to prevent any diseases that might come out of it, and has bandaged both her legs for now. So... Walking isn't exactly an option yet. But at least she's been given some ankle support. It's still going to hurt when she walks, but it'll lessen the pain.

She's still in the ER wondering how to go home... Ryuko is likely busy with Nonon. . . Maybe she can text Simon? He'll be like a prince saving her from trouble. So dreamy. But since her CereVice is busted, she has to wait six hours for it to be back up and running again. Fortunately, the tests she had to undergo to make sure she was healthy. Not to mention they also had to check her psychological state of being. All of this took quite some time. ]

At the medical facility ER. Can you pick me up, pleaaaaaaase?
Also please bring a jacket because my clothes are dirty :(
And maybe some shoes too?

[ The kiss definitely takes her by surprise, but whatever hurt she's been feeling immediately goes away as she feels Simon even closer to her than before. She doesn't intend to make the kiss last long since it might be awkward, but she does let it linger for as long as SImon does.

And once she pulls away, she just stares at him, unsure of what just happened. ]

Simon kissed Athena! Simon kissed Athena!

[ ... ah.

She just looks away now, covering her whole face. ]

W- Widget...!

[shacklebreaker]

[It's a brief kiss, lasting no more than a few moments, since he has no idea just how Athena will take it. Widget's exclamation, though, makes him pull back, looking away in embarassment.]

Enough of that, you silly robot.

[psycholawgy]

[ She's silent for a few moment before she smiles. ]

I heard your heart.

[shacklebreaker]

[His embarassment seems to fade, at her response, and he looks back at Athena.]

Hmph. I should curse you for outwitting it a second time. [A pause, then, and with more uncertainty:] Or perhaps I should apologise, if that was excessively bold.

[psycholawgy]

[ She shakes her head, her smile not faltering. ]

Can-- Can we do it again?

[shacklebreaker]

Not if you feel the need to ask for permission.

[He's joking, of course, although he does mean it -- she doesn't have to ask. He holds her hands, leaning in to kiss her more deeply than before.]

[psycholawgy]

[ Mm, no, she removes her hands from his, and moves her arms to wrap them round his neck as she locks lips with his. And eventually, she nibbles on his lip gently. But again, she doesn't want this to be too long, so she doesn't give any signs that this should go any further than what's already happened. ]

[shacklebreaker]

[As she links her arms around his neck, he'll pull her up and onto his lap, breath hitching involuntarily when she bites his lip. Still, he's following her lead and at her own pace, so he breaks off the kiss as soon as she wants to.]

[psycholawgy]

[ When she pulls away, a hand moves down to Simon's chest, stroking it a bit. Their faces are so close to each other, they can practically hear each other's breaths.

She grins at him the moment the kiss is over. ]

I think I got too excited. I'm sorry.

[shacklebreaker]

[He sits back, and shakes his head. He's a little dazed at what just happened, but for once, he looks genuinely happy.]

I'm just pleased to see you smile again, Athena.

[psycholawgy]

[ her smile even grows wider when she sees simon's. honestly, she wasn't expecting things to turn out this way. now she feels as if she's in top of the world. ]

That's my line, [ her tone is bossy, but she's mostly just joking. and she gets up - or at least tries to - and ends up falling back on the couch. ]

I want to get a hot compress for your hand. [ she was bossy earlier, but now, she's being whiny. do as she says, simon. ]

[shacklebreaker]

[He looks down at his hand, as if he'd forgotten about it. It's stopped bleeding at least, but it's starting to look bruised, and he knows she won't leave him alone until he does something about it.]

I'll get it myself. [He goes to stand. Sometimes he still forgets this isn't prison, and his injuries are a thing that should actually be paid attention to.] Do you want some cushions to rest your legs and feet on? It ought to help you get comfortable.

[psycholawgy]

Okay, but if I start resting here, then I really might just pass out.

[ and she could use a change ofclothes. ]

[shacklebreaker]

Will that be an issue? If there's anything you need from your apartment, I can fetch it.

[Like clean clothes. He just doesn't want her overexerting herself unnecessarily, when she really should be resting.]

[psycholawgy]

Y, You can't just go into my room and grab my clothes! [ Pervert. ]

But maybe I can go back and then we can have a sleepover here. Ryuko probably won't say at the apartment tonight, anyway. I'll be alone eitherway.

[shacklebreaker]

What manner of ill-intentioned scoundrel do you take me for? I was merely trying to be practical! [Rude!!]

That aside, if Ryuko isn't around, you're welcome to stay.

[psycholawgy]

[ Her reply starts off with a giggle. ]

Then I'm sleeping over! [ she lifts her arms, rejoicing. ] I'll go get my stuff first.

[shacklebreaker]

All right. Do you need any help?

[He can treat his hand once she's comfortably settled in.]

[psycholawgy]

Will you carry me again?

[ She's only half joking... ]

[shacklebreaker]

Hmph... You don't have to look so cheerful about playing the helpless damsel.

[Despite poking fun at her, though, he goes to pick her up, careful to avoid doing anything that might hurt her legs as he does so.]

[psycholawgy]

[ Some muscles do hurt, but it's not enough for her to whine or make a sound about it. And when Simon carries her, she just wraps her arms around him, giving him a really tight hug.

Sorry, you'll have to carry this big baby, Simon Blackquill... Or do you. ]

Just kidding. It's just across the hall, I can go there by myself.

[shacklebreaker]

If that's how you're going to be, would you like me to throw you across the hall to save you the hassle of walking?

[Heads toward the hall, still carrying her. He'll totally do it!!]

[psycholawgy]

You can say that all you like, but I don't think you'll really do it.

[ Please don't prove her wrong... ]

[shacklebreaker]

[He carries her out into the hall, then seems as though he's actually gearing up to throw her. Then, at the very second when he's about to let go of her--]

Alas, it seems you're just too heavy to be thrown. Practically elephantine.

[Before she can register what he said, he puts her down. He doesn't much want to be smacked in the face again.]

[psycholawgy]

[ HE WILL GET SMACKED IN THE FACE AGAIN, Jesus. But she lets the door before her slide open before limping over to where her room is. It's a pretty quiet apartment without Ryuko and Athena, but what can you do when the other is practically married now?

Eventually, she does come out with a new set of clothes - more comfy than what the hospital provided, and a small bag with her essentials. ]

Okay, mighty steed. Tally ho!

[ Athena, that is no way to talk to somebody...?????? Especially not to someone you just poured your heart to. ]
