* Citan is awakened from his deep sleep by a
sudden lurch of the Yggdrasil
<Citan> what what?!
* Citan picks himself up off the floor and hunts
down his glasses
* Billy snaps his eyes open... And the Yggdrasil
suddenly goes into the equiv of a side skid... Hard
enough to send the kid flying out of bed... "Hey!
What the!"
<Billy> Oh dear God no!
* Citan gets hit by flying Billy just as he
finally gets his glasses
<Citan> are you alright?
* Billy picks himself up quickly... "Yes... What
in God's name is Siggy doing!"
<Citan> simulating a drunken stagger with
the ship is my guess
* Billy and Citan get thrown off their feet once
more... As the Yggdrasil carreens into a mountain
top...
<Billy> Dang it... Ow...
* Citan ponders as he carefully removes a night
table from his lap "magnetic soles on our boots..
that would solve the problem of walking while the
ship is in the control of an intoxicated
Sig..."
<Billy> It's all dad's fault... He knows
he doesn't drink... But keeps dragging him off to
the bar anyway...
* Billy nods... "I think we've stopped..."
<Citan> I would say it was the mountain
that did that most likely
* Citan pulls on his tunic and boots and reties
his hair.. no sense looking like he was tossed out
of bed after what has been a long series of rough
days
<Billy> I'd assume so...
* Billy grabs a shirt and pants and heads into
the bathroom to change out of his pj's... No sense
giving Bart the satisfaction of teasing about
heading to thebridge in his pj's...
* Citan was just thinking of that..
* Billy comes back out after a bit...
<Citan> ready?
<Billy> Yup... Ready...
* Citan opens the door and heads down the hall
to the elevator... he looks.. even calmer than
usual.. this should be fun
* Billy follows...
<Billy> *Siggy is still trying to make the
Yggdrasil go through the mountain... Only it's not
moving...
* Citan walks over to Sig and taps his shoulder
gently, clearing his throat
<Sig> Hyu! *Gives him a bear hug.. And
poor old Citan *might* note the fact that there's a
face painting on good old Sig's tummy...
<Citan> yes.. breathing is good, Sig..
*gasp* may I?
<Citan> your abdomen is looking at me,
Sig..
* Sig loosens his grip... "Oh... It's good old
Jessie..." *Laugh*
* Billy groans... Dropping his head in his
hands... Citan's not the only stressed out one
today...
* Citan hastily motions Billy to the helm while
he's distracting Sig "how is Jessie doing?"
<Sig> Fine... Just fine... I think he's
touching up his Cannon at the moment...
* Billy nods a bit... And gets the Yggdrasil
into reverse... Bringing it down... Or rather...
The engines simply conk out...
* Citan finds himself a bit off balance since a
very off balance Sig has still got a hold of him
"ack!"
* Citan does a bit of bad waltzing with Sig so
they can both keep their feet "I am glad to hear
that"
* Billy groans... And beats his head on the
helm... Jessie modifying the Jessie Cannon while
drunk isn't something he wants to think
about...
<Citan> well.. it seems the engines need
some repair.. perhaps you can get some rest while
they are fixing them, Sig
* Sig nods... And teeters towards the door...
"Good idea Hyu..."
<Citan> watch the panel, Sig.. oops.. too
late.. is your head alright?
<Sig> Yup... Later...
* Citan winces a bit "he will feel that when he
wakes up..."
* Billy is still beating his head on the helm
repeatedly...
* Citan calmly inserts his hand between blows
"that does not help.. I tried it yesterday"
<Billy> <m> You sure?... I feel
better somehow...
<Citan> it feels better at the time but
when the numbing effect stops you will find you are
left with a nasty headache
* Billy growls bitterly as he stops... "Sure
won't be the only one to have one today..."
<Citan> <q> Billy.. talk to me..
<Citan> <q> and we need to leave the
bridge before Bart gets here
* Billy nods... "It's alright... Dad's
irresponsible... I can live with it... And you're
right... I don't need any more trouble with the
Bart today..."
* Citan leads him off the bridge and up the
ladder to the deck
* Citan stretches his legs a bit, taking a deep
breath
* Billy wanders over to what's left of the bow
with a heavy sigh... "He really ripped it up
nicely... Didn't he..."
<Citan> he will feel bad about it when he
recovers.. how would you like to get off this ship
and take a bit of a walk? it will be here for a
while
* Billy looks over... And nods... "Yeah...
Should we take our gears?"
<Citan> um.. our guest is still hiding out
in yours...
<Citan> we will be fine.. we do not have
to go too far from the ship
* Citan hops over the side.. not much distance
to the ground at the moment
* Billy nods... But checks his ammo just to be
safe... Before hopping down after...
* Citan strides along, his long legs making
Billy have to almost trot to keep up
* Billy does so admirably... Reflexively
scanning the area for Wels...
<Citan> relax, Billy
* Billy shakes his head... "Sorry... Old
habit..."
* Citan grins "you are a free man, Billy.. try
to act like one"
<Billy> It's... Not that... I just don't
like the idea of them sneaking up on me and tearing
me to pieces for blood...
<Citan> the idea is not extremely
palatable to me either
<Billy> I'd hope not... I've seen what it
looks like... Trust me...
* Billy shuts his eyes and shakes his head...
Doing his best to banish the memory...
* Citan looks rather grim for a moment.. he has
seen what it looks like from very close up.. Redrum
forced him into desperate healing three times
* Billy saw it happen to his mom when he was
twelve... So sue him if he's a bit touchy about
it...
* Billy shakes his head... "I'll deal... I'm a
survivor... Don't worry Hyu..."
* Citan heads for a tree, sitting down at its
base and looking up at Billy
<Citan> is survival all you desire?
<Billy> Well... That... And helping
others...
<Citan> who will help you, Billy?
<Billy> Prim... She always has...
<Citan> she is still a child.. you need
someone older, stronger.. someone who can protect
you while you protect her
<Billy> I don't have anyone like that
anymore...
* Billy looks down... Being Billy he's not able
to keep the anguish out of his eyes...
<Citan> you have to have someone.. Fei has
me.. Bart has Sig..
<Citan> <q> although Fei does not
need me so much now... more and more Elly is who he
needs to depend on..
* Billy looks away... <q> There just isn't
anyone Hyu... I've accepted that...
<Citan> I am not Bishop Stone, Billy.. I
care about you for you, not for.. *looks away* my
own purposes...
* Billy looks back... "I wanted a father... More
then anything... But when Jessie came back... He'd
changed... He just wasn't the dad I
remembered..."
<Citan> I understand, Billy.. he was not
the friend I remembered either.. but much more can
be forgiven of a friend than a father
<Billy> I know... But it's alright... You
already have a kid to look after... You can't deal
with all of our problems too... It's not fair to
you or Midori... I think I just need some time
alone..."
<Citan> <q> Midori...
* Citan closes his eyes
* Billy takes a deep breath... Turning to make
his way down a mountain path...
<Citan> how will you get time alone,
Billy?
* Citan takes out the miniature Fei did of Yui
and Midori only a few months before they left
home..
* Billy shrugs... "They don't need me right
now... And there's no one around down there..."
<Citan> <wh> I miss you both.. and I
know you understand the importance of what I do
even if you cannot know what I do..
<Citan> alright, Billy.. be careful
though
<Billy> I will... *Bites back a near sob*
And I'm sorry Hyu...
<Citan> sorry?
<Billy> <q> About bringing Midori
up...
<Citan> there is no need to apologize,
Billy.. it is not as though I forget her, ever
* Billy nods... The sadness in his eyes still
there as he makes his way down the mountain
side...
<Citan> ~I am losing them one by one..
will they work together or destroy themselves
alone?
* Billy settles on a rock a good ways down the
mountain... And pulls his knees to his chest to
cry...
*with classic bad luck, Bart has stormed off to
keep from screaming at Sig after assessing the
damage.. taking a walk down the mountainside
* Billy of course has no idea Bart is about...
So doesn't slow his tears...
* Bart doesn't notice Billy either, taking his
frustrations out by whipping the bark off an
innocent tree, yelling at the top of his lungs
about how the world is conspiring to give him a
pisser of a day for the past year
* Billy nearly falls off his rock at the
suddenly screaming... Swallowing hard to force back
the tears... And ducking behind it to keep Bart
from seeing him...
<Bart> and Sig *whap* goes and crashes the
ship *whap* and I've got ghosts *whap* of people
who hate me *whap* and without the benefit *whap*
of the person who hates me *whap* being dead at the
same time *whap* so I have to put up with both of
them *whap* and my ONLY real friend *whap* is all
tied up with Elly *whap* and everybody is yelling
at me *whap* ARGH!
* Billy cringes all the more... Figuring Bart
will turn that whip on him if he knows he heard all
that...
* Bart's mood is not improved any by his whip
breaking.. he turns and yells at the sky "WHY DID
YOU GET KILLED AND LEAVE ME LIKE THIS?!"
* Billy can't help another small sob... Clamping
a hand over his mouth...
<Bart> you could have just run away and
become a drunk or whatever.. no, you have to get
killed and be a martyr and a symbol I can never
hope to be.. and I can't even get back what was
stolen from you!
<Billy> <vvqwh> You can't mean that
Bart... I wish mine'd believe in something enough
to get close to being a martyr...
<Bart> maybe if you'd done that I could at
least get someone to pay attention.. what the hell
do I have to do? turn into some crybaby so I'm even
noticed by anyone anymore?
* Billy says a bit louder then he expected to...
"No..."
* Bart spins "what the...?!"
<Bart> spying on me, Billy?!
* Billy looks up over the top of his boulder...
His eyes bearing the greif in his soul still...
"No... I was already here..."
* Bart crosses his arms defiantly "you repeat
one word of that to anyone and I swear I'll toss
you under the sand fans"
<Billy> I won't... I promise... But... You
can't mean that about your father Bart...
* Bart turns away with a classic "..."
<Bart> how would you know? you've got a
father still
* Billy suddenly looks nearly cold... "Only in
blood Bart..."
<Bart> it's better than nothing, jerk!
* Bart storms off again, not wanting to get
another lecture from Citan
* Billy hangs his head... "Bart... Listen... I'm
sorry... But listen... If a wimp like me can take
Stone... You can handle Shakhan... At least I
believe it... Truely..."
* Billy turns... And heads the other way...
Feeling even worse then before...
* Bart of course is paying no attention to where
he his going.. he turns back to answer Billy when
the rocks under his feet begin to slide.. with a
yell he goes down, the rockslide only getting
worse
* Billy turns with a look of pure horror on his
face... "Bart! Oh God! No!"
* Bart is still rolling down the hill in a cloud
of stone and dirt
* Billy takes off after him as fast as he can
go... Slipping and sliding part of the way himself
since his haste isn't condusive to foot
holds...
* Bart comes to a halt, more rocks sliding down
on top of him.. fortunately, he is out and so
hasn't a clue that Billy is the one dislodging them
by accident
* Billy slides to a stop next to him... His
pants torn neatly from the knee down to expose
nastly bleeding legs from the tumble...
<Billy> Bart! Bart! Are you alright?!
* Bart is laying face down.. his pants seem to
be together, but his shirt is barely clinging to
him by one sleeve, the rest of it gone, exposing
the scars on his back.. his legs are half burried
in rubble.. he doesn't answer
* Billy is pretty much as white as a sheet as he
does his best to clear the rocks away... Swallowing
in horror yet again at the look of those nasty
scars...
* Billy flares red... A blue glowing ball of
light floating from him to Bart... Which will wake
him up and heal him some... Having the effect of a
Zetasol...
* Billy 's eyes roll up... And he hits the
ground next to Bart with a soft thud...
* Bart groans, lifting his head up and spitting
out dirt
<Bart> ugh.. what hit me..
* Billy would reply... "The mountain..." If he
hadn't gone into la la land...
<Bart> Billy.. damn.. you fell too..
* Bart sits up slowly, shaking Billy's shoulder
a bit.. he has no healing powers and didn't exactly
come out with a pack full of items
<Bart> Billy? hey.. wake up..
* Billy still has the tell tale red glow from
Ether use... Though it's a faint 'running on zero'
glow...
* Bart is smart enough to figure out how that
happened.. he looks at Billy's legs, then up the
steep slope to where the Yggdrasil is
* Billy opens his eyes... Though the world's
still spinning five ways at once... "Wha..."
<Bart> you dropped out on me.. can you
walk?
<Billy> I can try...
* Bart shakes his head, examing the wounds
closer "better not.. your ankle would give.."
* Bart gets painfully to his feet, then crouches
"get on"
* Billy blinks a moment... "You're offering to
help me?"
<Bart> just.. get on my back...
<Bart> if I don't get you back to the ship
Doc'll never speak to me again
* Billy looks frankly surprised... But he crawls
his way over having to grit his teeth against the
pain of the pressure on the cuts...
* Billy gets settled piggy back on Bart and
looks up at the cliff... "From the look of it... He
might not be talking to either of us ever
again..."
<Bart> I'll get us up there, don't
worry
* Bart stands, wincing at the pain, but not
daring to show any of it to Billy.. well, the
bruises and remaining cuts speak for themselves
<Billy> Are you sure? You're not that much
better off then me...
* Bart starts edging his way up the mountain
"I'm sure, shut up already"
<Billy> Sorry...
* Billy shuts up...
* Bart gets almost to the top when his feet
start to slide again.. he drops and digs his knees
in, but manages to keep Billy from getting hit in
the fall
* Billy bites back a scream...
<Bart> <q, tense> damn.. I can't get
up again.. knees have had it...
* Billy catches himself before he starts yelling
about Bart's lack of contingency plans...
* Bart looks at the last ten feet to go before
they are back at Billy's rock
<Bart> can you make it that far? if you
yelled from the rock someone might hear you
<Billy> Looks like I'm going to have
to...
<Bart> well excuse me
<Billy> Well someone has to have a plan
B...
<Bart> I don't recall you having a plan
A
* Billy gets ahold of the cliff... And starts
climbing... Sucking in his breath at the rocks
digging into the cuts... And simply not having air
for a stinging retort...
* Bart collapses and tries to get his own breath
back as soon as Billy isn't looking at him
<Billy> <m> Do... A... Good...
Deed... And... See... Where... It... Gets... You...
William... Lee... Black...
<Bart> <m> next time.. I want
someone.. with brains.. if he'd healed himself.. he
could have just.. walked up and sent.. someone who
cared
* Billy pulls himself over the side... "If I
didn't care I would have just left you there now
wouldn't I?"
* Bart doesn't answer... he's having an argument
with himself that goes something like "you do owe
him a thank you" "I'm not saying thank you to that
twit" "but he did help you" "and screwed that up
too" *it can be summed up as "..."
* Billy cups his hands... And shouts back at the
Yggdrasil... "HYU!!"
* Citan gets up from under the tree
"Billy?!"
* Billy looks down... "And I wouldn't have
bothered nearly breaking my leg chasing you down
that cliff either... Or promised not to tell anyone
what I heard..."
<Bart> not like I could tell everyone you
were crying, no secret in that..
* Citan hurries over "Billy? what.. oh my god..
Billy! your legs!"
* Bart mimics Citan's concern in a mutter "oh
precious Billy boy.. you got a boo boo"
* Billy shouts back in Citan's direction...
"Bart's still down there... I'll be alright for
now... He needs help more then I do right
now..."
* Bart bites his lip a bit.. not having expected
that Billy would wait for him to be helped..
* Citan nods, making his way down to Bart.. he
goes a bit slower than Billy did and has less area
to cover, so fortunately, he doesn't add to the
tragedy
* Billy looks back at Bart... "I'm not his
anything Bart... Just shut up for once... All I
have is Prim... And that's the way it's always
been..."
* Bart looks up at Billy.. and doesn't say
anything more.. whether it's because he's listning
for once, because he's in too much pain, or because
Citan is right there and just might clock him one
isn't clear
* Billy doesn't look back... Turning his
attention back to pulling pebbles out of his
leg...
* Citan casts Sazanami, further reducing the
injuries to just nasty bruises, then helps Bart up
to the top
* Bart yanks off the sleeve of the ruined shirt
and turns to limp back to the ship, pausing for a
moment without looking at either of the other
two
<Bart> <vq> th.. thanks.. both of
you...
* Bart gets as close to a run as he can manage
on his way back to the Yggdrasil
* Billy doesn't say a word... Continuing to work
on his leg...
* Citan crouches down, helping Billy out..
thanks to being a doctor he can do this without
inflicting further pain
<Citan> I take it from the fact that you
chose to help him that this did not begin with one
of you shoving the other off the side of the
mountain?
<Billy> No... Avalanche got him... I ran
down to help... And well... You can see the
result...
<Citan> you got a thank you from him.. not
a common occurance for anyone
<Billy> No... It isn't... Is it...
<Citan> that is all the big ones.. can you
feel any more small ones?
* Billy shakes his head... "It hurts too much to
feel much else but pain at the moment..."
<Citan> let me get some water and wash
them out before I heal you..
* Citan makes his way over to the nearby stream,
taking off his tunic and soaking it in the water,
then coming back
<Citan> this will sting a bit.. actually,
it will hurt
* Billy nods... Gritting his teeth...
<Billy> Go ahead...
* Citan cleans the cuts out as gently as he
can
* Billy winces but keeps it down to that...
* Citan finishes, handing the tunic to Billy
"that part is still clean.. you need to wash your
face a bit"
* Citan then closes his eyes, casting again
* Billy nods... And does so... Relaxing as the
pain ebbs...
<Billy> Thanks Hyu...
* Citan smiles "you are welcome"
* Billy gets to his feet... And makes his way
back towards the ship... Not saying another word...
In fact suddenly feeling more alone then
ever...
* Citan doesn't follow him.. instead he silently
goes back to the stream, rinsing his tunic out,
then lays it on the rock to dry
* Billy climbs up on deck... Making his way for
the hatch...
* Margie was just climbing out "Billy.. what's
going on? Bart's locked in his room yelling at
anyone who goes near the door, one of the crew said
he came in pretty banged up.. did you two have
another fight?"
<Billy> No... We didn't...
* Billy doesn't exactly look his best himself...
He'll have to make those pants shorts...
<Margie> oh no.. what happened to your
pants?
<Billy> Tore them chasing Bart down a
cliff...
<Margie> down a cliff?!
<Billy> Avalanche got him... I...
* Billy sighs...
<Margie> you... ?
<Billy> I'd rather not talk it about it
right now Reverand Mother...
* Margie sighs "Billy, we're friends.. you can
call me Margie... please... and if you don't want
to talk about it, it's okay.. I'm just glad you're
alright"
<Margie> I'd better go tell Prim you're
okay.. she's been worried since we crashed and we
couldn't find you
* Billy nods... "I'm fine... Hyu fixed me up...
Prim?! Oh no..."
<Margie> she's alright, she's not hurt or
anything.. just a little worried about her big
brother is all
* Billy nods... Calming some... "I'll go find
her... After I change... I don't think torn pants
would console her that well...
<Margie> she's in our room with Chu
Chu
* Billy nods... "Thank you..."
* Billy heads down to change... And then confort
Prim...
* Citan eventually heads inside.. he goes to
Sig's room and knocks on the door
<Sig> <painful mutter> Go
away...
<Citan> I do not think so, old friend
<Sig> <painful mutter> Go away
please?
<Citan> the young one needs some talking
to.. and I believe I am on the list of people he is
unwilling to even acknowledge the existance of at
the moment
<Sig> <painful mutter> Can't this
wait till tomarrow?
* Sig like any sane person wouldn't want to
handle Bart yelling with a hangover...
<Citan> it can wait long enough for one of
Billy's tonics..
<Sig> Alright... Alright... Go get
it...
* Citan nods, heading off to get one
* Bart tosses a nice heavy vase at the
connecting wall between his room and Sig's
* Sig pulls the blanket further over his head
and groans...
* Citan eventually returns with one, knocking
softly on the door again
* Sig gets up... And drags himself to the
door...
* Sig opens it... "Thank you..."
* Sig takes the tonic... And downs it...
* Citan smiles, "anytime"
<Sig> What's this I hear about Bart? What
happened now..."
<Citan> he was in an avalanche.. Billy
helped him
*another crash on the other side of the
connecting wall
<Citan> and he has not yet run out of
things to destroy in his room
* Sig nods in understanding... "I'll trying
talking to him..."
* Sig knocks on Bart's door... "Young
Master?"
<Bart> there's a bookend here with your
name on it, Sig! come on in!
* Sig does so... "Is there something wrong? You
seem a bit... Well... Upset..."
* Sig knows from experiance understating Bart's
tantrums helps...
<Bart> wrong? have you SEEN the bow of my
ship? it's parked halfway through a mountain,
Sig
* Sig looks very apologetic... "I apologise
Sir... I take full responsiblity for that..."
* Bart sighs, dropping the bookend and slumping
onto his bed
<Bart> everybody hates me, Sig.. I didn't
do anything
<Sig> What makes you say that Young
Master?
<Bart> well, first off there's that jerk,
Billy.. no comment needed... and then there's Doc..
since Billy flipped he's been scolding me at least
three times a day about how I should back off of
him.. like I'm to blame for him being a complete
twerp... Fei doesn't even bother with me anymore..
it's all Elly Elly Elly...
<Sig> Correct me if I'm wrong Young
Master... But I heard the 'Complete Twerp' helped
you out today when you needed it...
<Bart> "..."
* Sig hrums... "Then I'm mistaken?"
<Bart> fine.. now you're doing it too...
he also mouthed off like usual
<Sig> I see... And yes... You have every
right to be upset about that...
<Bart> you got that straight
* Sig mutters something about wishing Maison was
here... He's good at cooling Bart down out of hissy
fits... But not fixing all the problems...
* Sig hurms... "What exactly happened? I didn't
hear any detals..."
<Bart> he was snotting off like always,
and when I turned to say something, I tripped, and
the racks started falling, and then I woke up, he
was passed out next to me glowing, and he hadn't
been healed at all.. so when he woke up, I tried to
carry him back up.. and I fell again, and he
started going off on me again
* Sig nods... "I see... That wasn't all that
good of him was it..."
<Bart> I never asked him to help me
<Sig> Of course not... It would have
surprised me if you did... You rarely call for help
Young Master...
<Bart> <vq> and I thanked him and
the Doc
* Sig nods... "As you should have... They did
help you..."
* Bart shrugs "neither one of them said anything
back"
<Sig> That doesn't matter... Politeness is
a virtue...
* Sig catches himself sounding a bit like Billy
and urgs inwardly...
* Bart rolls over and stares at the wall "this
used to be my home.. now.. I'm just the ***hole
that gets to be ignored by everyone"
* Sig nods... "Maybe you should tell them how
you feel for once Young Master..."
<Bart> and have them laugh at me? yeah
right...
* Sig considers... "I know Hyu wouldn't laugh...
I've know him much better then that..."
<Bart> <m> not to my face, maybe..
but I bet he and Billy'd have a good chuckle behind
my back
* Sig nods... "As you wish... But it's my
experiance that holding such things in only makes
them more painful..."
<Bart> <vq> the only one I can tell
is you, Sig... and you're never around anymore
either...
* Sig 's one good eye softens slightly... "I'm
sorry... I'll be here for a good while now it
seems... We have to get this ship repaired...
<Bart> just one more thing to do..
<Sig> Really? I must have been out longer
then I thought...
<Bart> no.. I mean the repairs are just
one more thing I have to take care of on top of
everything else..
* Sig ponders this situation... "Maybe you need
some time to just relax... I'm sober now so I can
handle the repairs..."
<Bart> relax where? I can't go anywhere
but the engine room or the bridge without running
into one of them.. I tried to go outside to get
some space, and guess who's there..
* Sig nods... "Then how about your room? That
sign on your door tends to keep tresspassers
away... (Unless they're Fei)...
<Bart> the ghost walked in on me
yesterday.. good thing I wasn't changing..
<Sig> That would make sense young
master... Seeing as ghosts don't fear death...
<Bart> so there's no point in it, is
there.. no matter where I go someone will torment
me
* Sig sighs... "It's your choice... It was
merely a suggestion...
<Bart> about the only fun I've had lately
was fighting Doc.. *rubs his jaw* I don't think
I'll be up to that again for a while though
* Sig frowns slightly at the mention of Bart
fighting Hyu... Giving the famous "...."
* Citan bites his lip, slipping away from the
door.. he's not sure Sig is going to be too happy
about him laying a deathblow on his charge
* Sig knows Citan... And at this point figures
it was just Bart beating up on Doc... Hyu doesn't
typically clobber friends...
<Bart> took him forever to do anything
more than get his butt kicked, but.. he hits pretty
good for an old man.. and he can take alot too.. I
hit him with some of my best stuff and he was still
standing
<Bart> but when I finally got him to
really fight me.. one punch.. caught me by
surprise
* Sig looks suddenly surprised... "He hit
you?"
<Sig> And of course he's good... He was in
Elements...
<Bart> hit is an understatement.. he had
me flying in so many directions I didn't know which
side was my ass and which was my head
<Bart> broke my ribs and my shoulder..
* Sig frowns darkly... "I'll have to have a word
with him..."
<Bart> Sig.. it's nothing.. I wanted a
real fight, he gave it to me.. besides, he healed
me right away.. it's no big deal
* Sig nods... "As you wish..."
