a bird! a plane! a...dragon?
Minako is seriously cursing her luck right about now. She'd thought just one mission with the police in Transylvania would be all right. They'd caught a suspect, saved the children, and even battled some vampires. She was still a full-blooded human, thankfully, but that last ambush had left her a little worse for the wear. Even as Sailor Venus, her magic couldn't fend off the pain forever.
So in her weakened state, jt's far too easy for that pack of possessed wolves to jump her. She yelps, swinging her good leg and the heaviest branch in the forest with all her might, but those fangs snap angrily. She doesn't have much time to run, but she must, gritting her teeth through the pain. The branches tear at her and slow her down, but she's managed to stop all but three, escaping from the forest into the open meadow.
Now, though...there are three closing in on her. She faces them down, chain whip in hand, but it doesn't comfort her much. Even worse, there's an ominous thump behind her in the grass.
What could that giant shadow be?

oh Skyfire <3
"But hey, I'm feeling better today. I can help!"
^_^ Well, why not? XD He'd like her to stay for a while, so... bribery? :p
Skyfire looked a bit apprehensive about letting her cut up the fruit like that, but it would be something she could do sitting so she wouldn't make her wounds worse. If he didn't give her something to do, she seemed like the type to try and find something to do. At least this way he could somewhat control what she did.
no subject
Minako takes on the fruit and sets to work, chopping it surprisingly quickly. She's had a bit of practice at this, though poor Makoto had had to clean up a mess or two. But she's learned by now, and it's not long before everything's nice and neat.
"See? I'm okay. We're okay," she reassures, stopping to smell the breakfast. Oh, it's good already! She's grinning.
no subject
He'd not eat anything himself, but would start to clean up the area while she ate.
no subject
"Oh, wow. It's absolutely divine, thank you!" she gushed, doing her best to get it all set. "Not only a hero, but a top chef too? Where does such an interesting guy come from?"
no subject
Leaving her to her meal and cleanup for a moment, he turned to look at his own 'meal', which was more like medicine. A barrel of some of the thickest looking blackish purple goop was hardly what anyone would consider appetizing, but it had what he needed to recover.
Oh how he wished that he could fix the damage any other way, but... With a deep sigh, he tried to chug the gunk as fast as he could, but by the look on his face he still managed to taste it.
no subject
"It even looks horrible from here. What is it? The worst medicine ever?" She wrinkles her nose. "Oh gosh. You didn't get beat up saving me yesterday, did you? I'm sorry!"
no subject
The other question got a wheezing cough and a shake of the head as he tried to get his voice to cooperate, but it didn't seem to be working. So he reached for the board and wrote [I wrecked my throat and voice before that. I tried to take down the one responsible for those wolves. Used too much fire at too high a heat.]

[Stop talking like it's a hardship to have you here.] Skyfire gives her a light rub on the head since that seems the only 'safe' place to touch at the moment. [I don't like the way you were making jokes about your own self worth.]
Pausing a moment he then writes. [Also, call your friends if you can and let them know you're alright. Even if you don't want to see them, let them know you're alive and safe. They're probably worried about you.]
no subject
She reluctantly uses her communicator---and after some intense scolding from Ami and cries from Usagi, she learns that the other Sailor Guardians successfully finished the fight. It takes some argument to convince them she can't come home right away, and they don't like it, but they'll let her go. Though Rei has some serious questions about this dragon nonsense.
When it's over, she buries her face in her hands. "'Kay. I have a few days---they'd teleport and grab me right away, but they used too much magic in the fight. They'll wait for you, but only just."
no subject
Skyfire can't resist the urge to peek over her shoulder, curious as to who she's talking to, but he tries not to eaves drop. The relief of hearing that the villain polluting the area with negative energy showing on his face.
Once she's off the communicator, he curls up and opens his arms in an offer of a hug. His voice is hoarse, quiet and scratchy, but he manages. "Just take some time, relax and call them when you want to talk to them. When they feel better, they can come here or I can take you to them..."
no subject
"Okay. It'll be okay, right?" She gingerly moves into the hug, clinging as tightly as she can stand to. "Next time. I'll just be better next time...and hopefully we can meet when I'm not in so much trouble."
no subject
Petting her hair softly in an attempt to reassure, he then nuzzles her cheek a bit. "I'd like it if you would come back and visit... even bring your friends?" More friends were always nice after all, and he really didn't have many.
no subject
"I think we might scare Usagi-chan out of her mind," she giggles. "But that's okay. She'll get over it. Mako-chan will want to know how you make such good food in small portions...and I'll have to keep Ami-chan from wanting to study you."
She sighs. "It's probably better that it's just us for now, you know?"
no subject
"Well, I don't want to scare anyone... but if that's the only real problem, I don't see anything wrong with them coming to visit..." He pauses and thinks a moment. "Though if anyone wants to study me, they have to be willing to let me do the same to them."
Skyfire honestly doesn't mind if someone is curious about him, within reasons. After all, he was just as curious about humans as well. He'd been around a long time, but that didn't mean he knew it all.
"... But that can wait till we've had time to recover... I don't think I have the energy to deal with having so many around at the moment."
no subject
I assumed some stuff. Let me know if you want an edit.
He gives her a look over and frowns. "You're healing much faster than a normal human... Those bandages will have to be soaked off before they can be changed."
A look at himself. "Granted, I think we could both use the bath." Skyfire didn't want to be rude, but... those wounds needed tending and he doubted that she could do it herself. "How body shy are you?" Humans really did have some strange ideas about nudity.
It's cool. That's about right!
She winks. "I mean, you'd be looking for a lady-dragon, right? I'll let you know if I see one. But...yeah. You've taken care of me this far. I know you won't hurt me now."
Oh good. I wasn't too sure.
At the mention of a 'lady' dragon, he sighs and looks away. "I'm afraid that you'll not see one, since there are none to be found..." His voice trails off and he gets to his feet carefully, offering her an open invitation for a ride with a sloped wing.
"Lets go have a soak in the springs and get cleaned up... The unicorns won't come anywhere near either of us in this state."
no subject
She gives him a loose hug. "So let's hurry up!"
Whatever the circumstances, relaxing in the springs will be nice.
no subject
"I've yet to find anything even remotely similar to me and I've been around over a million years by human count... Granted, I've killed a lizard like creature close to my size but it was neither intelligent nor sentient."
They turn down a tunnel, and Minako would likely hear the sound of running water and a hint of moisture in the air... like a waterfall.
"My life story would take a very long time to explain and probably even longer to find the correct words, if they even exist in a form that can be translated into human speech. If you're still interested once we've both had rest and my voice isn't so bad I'll try and tell it to you?"
no subject
She sighs against his back. "I'm sorry. I'm just such a romantic...even though I know what it's like to never find love. I can't---I swore I wouldn't, and I'm cursed to always choose duty first."
She's surprised at herself for admitting that, but if she can comfort him at all she'll try. "But don't stress about it right now. Let's take care of ourselves, and then I'll gladly listen."
no subject
He twists his neck around and nuzzles her cheek a little bit, offering her a reassuring look.
"Enough of the depressing stuff for now. Lets get cleaned up and relax a bit."
Skyfire walks into a huge cavern with a set of natural hotspring pools and a waterfall made of three smaller falls, pouring into a large pool behind the springs. It's very pretty and well lit, there are even plants growing in the higher reaches.
no subject
She pulls her ribbon from her hair and carefully rolls her magic pen and communicator inside, then begins undressing immediately. She can't stand feeling this dirty a moment longer!
"Large pool, right? So you can fit?"
