[ she's not opposed to cuddling. king is important, intensity is precious, so this just makes sense. ]
[ her main goal is to warm up though. running around she realized all of the abandoned buildings didn't have jack shit in them, and the park could have been a decent place to make a nest if not for it being outside. this seemed like the most logical place to come... don't @ her. ]
[ she returns with a lamp, but she can't figure how to get it into the room. for a good few minutes they can watch her fail to realize she's got to turn it to get it inside, so eventually she just gives up; joining them in the room. ]
[ flopping down she tries to nestle beneath all the stuff she grabbed, all while getting as close to the both of them as humanly possible. ]
[ and gets enough of that sentence to realize what it is she must do. springs up out of the blankets and scoops up king, restraining him a bit with her tentacles so intensity can bandage him up! ]
He makes a face, but holds still. The wound itself is three large gashes through his shoulder and chest, but aside from being particularly nasty, they won't appear to have hit anything important. ]
I said I would deal with this after she's taken care of.
She's not going anywhere. You're not going anywhere.
And the last thing she needs is to come to her senses with you battered and bloodied. She'll just run off again.
[The chest area is harder to treat, but Intensity will do what he can. Shoving tentacles out of the way so he can sterilize and bandage the worst of it.
And when that's done, with a gentle tap of his fingertips, King's clothes mend themselves so it doesn't even look like he was injured at all.]
[ he can fix more than just wind chimes?! she looks at king's clothes, then to intensity, then to king's clothes, then to intensity, and then to the bush. intensity! hey, intensity, can you fix the bush?! ]
[ she sets king down and gives him another lick for being such a good patient and then she's grabbing the bush and shoving it at intensity. here! fix this next! ]
[ she doesn't understand, but she kind of gets the gist from his pushing it aside and the expression he's got on his face. the bush is... going to remain in bad shape. she makes a low murmur in the back of her throat and flops down in the pile of blankets, using her hind legs to drive herself underneath some of the other pillows and mattresses and blankets. her tail remains out, as do some of her tentacles, which just flop about as she makes another depressed sound. ]
[ she hurt king and her present to king is ruined. ]
[ she's going to make an attempt to drag him under. it's nice and warm beneath all of the blankets and pillows, king! she's about to make a noise of protest when intensity leaves, but then she realizes he's going to grab the lamp. a please sound follows, and she sends several tentacles to cuddle him as soon as he takes his seat again. ]
[ ...tries to yank him over after a few seconds. ]
[ cuddles, plz&thx. ]
[ it's not hard to tell she's cold and, when she's not moving or shrieking like a lunatic, she's shivering. did she ever get around to telling either of you she's ectothermic, ..? oops. ]
[Intensity is doubly unsure about monster cuddles due to a re-occurring nightmare. And is about as relaxed as a taut bow string throughout the entire process. But whatever. It's not like he was planning on sleeping.
Nor is he defenseless in the waking world.
Added bonus, Intensity is already well acquainted with the fact that she's ectothermic thanks to that time she showed up at his office sans blood.]
It's not just that. It's also one of her corruptions.
[And he shifts until he is at least able to get his metal arm free, wrapping it in multiple layers of blankets before heating up the metal to probably a tad warmer than is comfortable for a human. He offers it to D.Va's tentacles. Hopefully they'll wrap around only that instead of cuddling him entirely.
[ she makes a low rumbling sound in response. look, if she hadn't drank all of that liquor, then she might not have rushed straight into the ocean like an idiot. she does love the beach though, soooo maybe that's a lie. jury's out. ]
[ since intensity doesn't seem the least bit interested in cuddling she's going to drag king closer to him. maybe he won't notice how very obviously she keeps moving an inch or two, disrupting the entire pile of pillows and blankets. ]
[ she ignores the arm for now, far more interested in dragging the both of them in closely, and right now she's only successfully gotten half. ]
[ But reaching out to carefully pat at her as she cuddles closer. He doesn't resist, since if he's cold -- sharing body heat was his main tactic to begin with. ]
[Just like you're never going to tell her about that shoulder injury - he doesn't say.
But since the two of them are now cuddling for warmth, that's the best possible outcome. And he drops his arm to throw more blankets over the both of them.]
This is probably about as calm as she is going to get.
[ not sharing shit is the circle of life in this trio, apparently. ]
[ can she sneakily drag intensity into the cuddling? as sneaky as a horse sized monster thing can be anyway. ]
[ her ears flicker between the two of them, because she's learned that she is 'she', and that means they're referring to her. tries to mimic the sound and it probably sounds awful. ]

As she's curling up around them, he drops his voice -- not that she's seemed to understand anything said so far, but still. ]
If being upset triggered this, then maybe this will calm her down and she'll return to normal...
no subject
Right.
[Said as he shifts so that he can sit up and pats D.Va affectionately on the head.]
Can you hold him still for a little bit?
no subject
[ and gets enough of that sentence to realize what it is she must do. springs up out of the blankets and scoops up king, restraining him a bit with her tentacles so intensity can bandage him up! ]
[ TEAMWORK! ]
no subject
Wh-- hey!
[ Once more he is all tangled up in tentacles ]
You could just ask me.
no subject
So be a good patient.
[He says as he cleans and wraps up King's shoulder so at the very least it won't get infected.]
no subject
[ looks over his shoulder to watch as intensity takes care of things. wow, this sure is interesting. she's getting some ideas. ]

He just scoots aside to give Intensity better access to the bush. ]
no subject
Starts explaining as if she would understand:]
It has to be inorganic or dead.
That---
[Points to the bush]
Qualifies as neither.
Maybe after it dries out completely.
no subject
no more hiding things. ]

He pats the sad lump a few times, placatingly. ]
It's fine, like I said. Just relax.

Wait.
Pushes himself back up to go fetch the lamp and bring it into the room]

You're still cold after all of that...? I told you not to go in the water.

Or at least he can try to bargain for it.]
Only the arm. Got it?

But for now, cuddling will continue until monster morale improves. ]
no subject
As Intensity promised, she is allowed to have the one arm. Nothing else.]
no subject
[ also if that's all she's getting then all four tentacles are going to cling to it. that arm belongs to her now. ]
[ also, idk, sometime later i sure hope you boys enjoy a dazed & confused naked d.va, tentacles still out. ]
