mybloodisblack | Fifth Drop ❂ Action / Accidental Voice

[It's pure luck that Crona got dropped off in the village, but his luck ran out when it came to where he had been dropped off. Yep, he has the bad luck of being set down on a random roof. At first he tries his best not to panic, but after walking around on the roof for a few minutes, the tears were showing. He was really trying not to cry, because Ragnarok picks on him whenever he does...but for some reason, Ragnarok is being quiet. And it's very okay with Crona. He wouldn't be able to deal with his situation.]

He was lost, cold, and stuck on a roof! And eventually he can't stand it anymore, and will give a soft "Uhm.." to anyone that passes by, but speaking so softly, it's quite possible that he can't be heard. Then so many times of trying, he decides it's best to just talk to himself...mostly, but his journal has been on since he woke up.]

W-what am I supposed to do..? I c-can't get down...I wouldn't be able to deal with getting hurt...a-and it's a long way down.

Nobody can even hear me...and I'm really cold..

[That will earn a strange look.]

...Why would I?

Some people do. I did.

[He shrugs, not the type to be particularly pushy, but a little concerned. If someone doesn't choose to be out, it's pretty chilly weather to be hanging around.]

Why..?

[Why would anybody want to be up so high? It's scary, and he just wants down...even though he has no place to go after.]

It's a nice view of the town, and in better weather, a good place to meditate.

[He tilts his head, eying Crona.]

Do you want assistance getting down?

Meditiate?

[No idea what that is, but he nods to the question.]

Yes.

[He nods and gestures for Crona to come over to him; just below the eaves, there's the window he came up through.]

Are you strong enough to support your own weight and swing down into that window?

[Considering how many floors there are to this building, Crona may not wish to. The heights don't bother Neji -- after all, he's someone who spends time running through the branches of ridiculously enormous trees -- but they may not be everyone's taste.]

[Crona will come over and take a quick look before backing away again and shaking his head.]

...Is there a safer way down?

I can assist you. There's no door to the roof.

[But Crona looks pretty lightweight.]

Do you think you'd be able to hold onto my back?

I don't know...

[He's never done that before...his mom doesn't even pick him up.]

Hm.

Well, regardless, the window is really the only way down. These wings... tch, they're pretty much useless for something like this. If you hold on very tight around my shoulders, I can use some techniques that will help you stay attached to me while I climb down.

...Can I close my eyes?

Go ahead. It will make no difference to me.

[And he'll kneel down.]

Climb on my back.

[Alright, be prepared for the most awkward piggyback ride ever, but get on, and holding on tightly.]

[Oh, he hangs out with Gai and Lee, he's seen more awkward piggybacks. Although not participated in them.]

[Still, with Crona clinging on tight, he uses some chakra to reinforce the kid's grip on him, then swings off the roof to the wall. It takes more effort than usual to cling to the side, with his burden, but he still climbs down to the window, flat palms and feet sticking to the wall of the building as though it were flat ground.]

[If Crona weren't so freaked out, and had his eyes clothes, he would be very impressed. But until he's told it's safe to move, he won't be moving at all.]

[It's a good thing the window's pretty big; Neji slips in without too much difficulty. Crona should feel the difference immediately with the change in temperature.]

You can let go now. We're inside.

[Once he looks around, he'll let go, looking much less freaked out than before.]

...Thank you.

You're welcome.

[And then realizing that he responded to the distress thing a little quickly for manners...]

My name is Neji; and you?

[Well that's no problem. Most people don't ask for his name.]

Crona.

I'm glad I was able to assist you, Crona. If you do need help in the future...

[He may not be nice in the general sense of being personable, but he is more than willing to use his abilities to help others.]

[He would say something, but will be patiently wait for the end of that sentence.]

[Literalist, aren't you, kid?]

... I will be willing to assist you.

[He can't help it. He's not much of a talker anyway.]

Really?

I don't see why not.

...Thank you.
