Dion half-smiled mockingly, because he really hadn't been completely expecting to be able to do the action so easily. Anyways, he got to the couch.
"Think you can get on, or will you also need help for that?"
Offline
"Think a pull-up is easier than this or no?" Rai scrabbled at the edge slightly, but managed to get into a sitting position. "Thanks, btw."
Offline
"You're welcome. Now, think you can answer my question?" Dion sat at the other side of the couch.
Offline
"I think maybe."
Offline
"Alright, then I'm listening." Dion sat quietly. And he looked moderately concerned, and ready to listen.
Overall, just pretty much everything that Dion generally did not look like in his normal attitude.

"Okay, so one, this paralysis is only temporary. The poison'll clear out. No worries. Probably should just last 2 hours at most? That'll be when the numbness disappears, whereabouts."
Offline
"Poison!????????"
Offline
"Oh yeah, so we were just talking, right? And uh, the Mamba said he liked me? And then he tried to stab my leg? And kinda succeeded? So yeah!"
"Why the heck would you stand so close to them?" muttered Raez.
"I was at least a yard away from them."
Offline
"The... Mamba? It doesn't make sense to stab someone 'cause you like them," Dion mused. "Is your leg okay? Are you not going to bleed out or anything?" His eyes automatically went to check Rai's legs.
Offline
"It was mostly a blunt knife. He said it wasn't supposed to hurt." His voice raised a small notch. "''But the wooden thing had poison.''"
Considering how out of context 'wood' is, it's probably another substitute for a borderline cuss word.

"...does the poison hurt, aside from doing what it has already done?"
Offline
"Dunno, to be honest." Rai actually did appreciate Dion's different attitude because--
"Raez, I'm gone for ten minutes and they're getting sappy," a certain chemist rolling his eyes remarked as he pretty much butted in between the two.
Offline
Dion's face twisted into a glare and he directed it to Wiley.
Offline
"Thanks for the welcome," the scientist slung out. "Are you dying yet?" That was directed towards Rai.
"Unfortunately--for you--no."
"You don't even have a will with me in it, dunno why you're saying it's unfortunate for me."
Offline
"If that's a joke, it's not funny," Dion grumbled while crossing his arms.
Offline
"Oh, and he spoketh! Speaketh!" Wiley pointed to Dion. Not directly. He seemingly does have some manners. Apparently.
Raez actually facepalms this time. A pirate of culture.
Offline
His mentioning of the fact took away all of Dion's desires to talk.
So he's just sitting there while looking sour. Yay.
Offline
Wow, Dion.
"So, what was the story?"
"Something like," Rai said, "you made Dion mad. So go away," he said with a smirk.
Offline
A slow nod with closed eyes was given.
Offline
(I'm picturing this completely thoughtful meditation/Shaka expression xDD)
"Nah," Wiles said.
Offline
((XD nothing can be farther from Dion's attitude. Tbh now I have a mental image of him meditating and o.o))
Offline
((am I supposed to narrate Dion here, or...?))
Offline
(Well yes )
Offline
((okay XD))
Dion let out some sort of annoyed, uncomfortable noise. He refuses to speak.
Offline
"I'd show you the way to the nearest chemistry set store if my legs worked. And if those stores were open," Rai said sarcastically to Wiley, who just kind of smirked.
Offline
Dion wondered if there was actually one of those stores nearby.
Offline
"It's not going to work, dear friend," Raez whispered to Rai.
"I know," Rai said back.
Offline
"Now what? You gonna stay here?" Dion grumbled to Wiley.

Wiley just raises an eyebrow slightly. "What do you think? I even prepared a meal for you two!"
Rai interjected, "Wiles, a human can't drink lab chemicals, contrary to popular belief."

"I'm not trusting anything in the kitchen anymore after seeing that weird thing you spread around in the air."
