Thirty-Ninth Reap → Action
[Ragna had already returned from the dead a few days ago, opting to drag himself to the village by himself (the whole self-inflicted seclusion thing) and not trouble anyone else. He didn't want to do anything with anyone else. Not after what he remembered doing, being forced to watch as his body acted on its own, nearly killing multiple people and causing so many injuries. He nearly killed Noel, for fuck's sake. The last thing Ragna wanted was to ask for help over the journals.
Especially not in a moment of weakness. There was already someone who attempted on Noel's life after the entire Kusanagi incident last year, so the last thing Ragna needed was some jackass trying to do the same. He can't defend himself. Not with the Azure mysteriously missing. His arm wasn't working, and he could barely see out of his right eye. It was entirely gone, and it was a godsend after what happened. But he was in no shape to fight again. Not that he wanted to, anyway. He just felt all around awful about it. For once, he didn't want to fight his way through his problems.
But more like himself, he didn't want to see anyone at all. Especially Noel. He felt like he was back on his own for the first time in two years.
When he managed to make it back to his house, noticing that it was kind of... messed up, he decided to go elsewhere. There was no need to put himself in a position of being found by others easily. Ragna needed time to himself, away from the people he knew. Sure, he had to answer for what happened eventually but... no, not now. So he holed himself up in whatever free room he could find elsewhere while shit blew over, and made sure that he wouldn't be seen by anyone. Just keeping to himself.]
[Today? Ragna needs to go outside. Apparently there was some draft and some other crap that went down while he was dead, and he didn't really care about any of that. Long as no one bothered him in his angsting over what he did, then he was fine with the village being on fire for all he cared. The only things on his agenda was getting around the dame village as quietly as possible, and doing two things.
1) Getting to a few of the stores to grab supplies and, hopefully, getting back out without anyone noticing or questioning him.
2) Scouting out places he could stay if he needed to relocate from his temporary residence after returning from the dead. Plus, he wanted to check out some of the damage done to the village while he was gone.
Ragna took precautions after situations that could put himself in danger, and after Nox attacked Noel last year, he knew it was possible that he could be jumped for whatever he did as the Black Beast. Maybe the village being in disorder would help him keep his cover, or maybe it would make it worse. Either way, he had to do those two things while trying to be sneaky. And not having the use of his right arm and eye made it really difficult to navigate well.
He just hoped that if he ran into anyone while doing those two things, it wasn't someone he attacked.]

It was all his own fault. He grits his teeth.] ... I'm not gonna do that anytime soon.
no subject
How nice of you. So you're going to make matters worse by not showing her that you're back. What, is writing a "P.S. I live" note really that hard?
no subject
It is! I just... can't!
no subject
Can I at least pass on a message? Even if it's just that you're alive.
no subject
... Fine. Only that, nothing else.
no subject
Of course, I'll also add my own observations to the message.
no subject
no subject
no subject
Yeah, yeah. You go tell her whatever you want.
no subject
no subject
Except that.

It didn't work out last time. Rachel did ballet around him while he tried to take swings.]
Yeah, well, I hope that too. [He's being adamant about it. There's no way he feels any bit of useful right now.]
no subject
So I should tell her instead you didn't care enough about her feelings to come home?
[Yes. She's being mean. She's kinda pissed.]
no subject
You know what? Go ahead. [Her opinion of him can't get any worse.]
no subject
Welcome back. For what it's worth.
[Then she's stalking off before she says something she really regrets. Sorry, Ragna. 8( She feels badly for you, but as far as she's concerned you're being a stubborn ass jerk and Noel's hurt enough already.]
no subject
He fucked up.
He waits a little while for Nami to walk off, not saying anything. Once she's out of sight, Ragna leaves and walks in as far an opposite direction of her as he can.]
