He hurt. And he had not been able to move from the bed for the most part. He had woken up to find Vaako gone.He was not at all shocked to be honest. But fuck, he hurt. He could barely stand but he forced himself to. He also forced himself to dress and leave this damn room.

Maybe if he was away from the memory, the scent of Vaako things would be better. This pain would stop and not get worse. He knew the touch of the other man would stop the pain. Yet, Vaako was gone. And he wasn't sure he wanted to look for him. He wasn't really sure he wanted to explore this.. whatever the fuck happened when Vaako touched him. When he was just near him.

So he went for a walk. Barely. Several times he felt like he would pass out, and several times he almost had. He no longer cared about finding a way off this damn planet. He just cared about a way to stop this shit that was happening to him. Happening between him and the Necro. He didn't care, he didn't love, he didn't fall in love. This was not him. He didn't need anyone. He didn't need them the way he was starting to need Vaako. Just to fucking breathe. And he sure as fuck didn't need to be able to feel. To feel emotions like this, to feel Vaako within him.

He made it to the beach before he fell to the sand on his knees. his head bent as he tried to breathe, tried to not feel pain. Tried to not think of Vaako and wish him near. He also tried hard not to feel and appear vulnerable, opened and raw just in case someone happened upon him. Thankfully his senses were not too down as he felt someone, someone whose scent was familiar but he could not place right now due to his mind being a mess.

He settled down on his knees so he was on the same level as the human, and he looked at him thoughtfully. This whole experience was far from what he would have expected from the bald man. He must be hurting a lot to show this side of him, a side even Legolas wouldn't have believed to exist.

"Very well, though it is too late for me not to point it out. I have already."

But the words were not particularly focused, and he was frowning slightly. For just that short period of time, Legolas felt Aragorn leave his mind. Not completely, he never could, but this was a creature in pain and Legolas had never been any good at being around that and not trying to help.

"Quiet, hush... No more talk of the Valar, they are not here." The words were said soothingly, and wouldn't have been out of place for a mother comforting a hurt child. How odd was it to be talking to him this way? But he didn't know any other way to offer help. "You are in pain. Is it to do with the blue glow on your chest?"

He had to admit, his human side, the side that was learning ot show emotion and pick up on it when someone else was showing it, was touched by the Elf being so nice. But the animal side of him, the side that didn't care, didn't feel, didn't care about being shown compassion was still there and he found it funny. Only not. Because his human side was winning out and the fact that the Elf was not using Riddick's state against him, was touching him. He was so close to tears it was not funny. The pain, the emotion all of it. H ewas proud of himself for not giving in.

Riddick fell back on the sand, not being able to move, and also finding he did not want to when Legolas came even closer , invading his space as much as he could. He begged for the pain to stop. Begged for Vaako to show up to take it away but it didn't happen.

All was forgotten except the pain, the print. He didn't look at the Elf as he spoke. His words were bitten out, pauses every now and then to take deep breaths through the pain. "I don't know. Something about the Rage of my people. But it got worse and fuck hurts like hell."

It was strange to be speaking to a grown man, one as tall as the Elf which was rare for a human, and nearly twice as broad, like a child. He realized it, or part of him did, and found it amusing. It was a tone more suited to dealing with someone much smaller than you, and Riddick wasn't. And he knew, too, that Riddick was an easy target just now. But he didn't take that target, didn't even really consider it, despite his dislike of the man.

"Oh. I see. So this Rage has turned inward, then? And causes you pain?"

He frowned thoughtfully as he reached to touch Riddick again, but this time he avoided the glowing area. Riddick had scurried away when he had tried to touch him there before, and he wouldn't try again. Instead, his hands closed on the other man's shoulders, and he did his best to look into the eyes of the Furyan. It was hard with the glasses in the way.

"I know little of such things, though I am an Elf and my people are skilled with magic. Is this a curse someone placed on you?"

He knew that he the Elf was treating him as a kid. But right now it hurt too much to really be bothered. Besides it could be worse and the Elf could be taking advantage of this situation.

"Don't know. I don't.. it's different. The first time I felt it, it exploded, killing those near me, knocking the rest on their ass.But it didn't linger. It was quick, painless. Now.. now, it's different. It won't stop.. only when.." He trailed off and looked at the Elf this time. Something odd...... It was like his mind was seeing what it wanted. But he was wrong he knew it.

Yet he found himself moving closer to the Elf, sitting up as well."It was given to me to revenge m people.. something about all of my people having this but only one having it stronger and with different affects." He paused, muttering. "Fucking Elemental not being here to explain this shit." He was still moving as he spoke which if he had known it he would have stopped yet he didn't.

The Elf nodded slightly, not really understanding fully, but he got the gist of it. And when Riddick moved closer to him, he saw nothing in it but a desire for comfort. Which he gave, not being able to really help himself. His arms slid around muscular shoulders, and his full intention was to hug the man. What else could he do, when someone was in pain like this?

"I do not like you, Lord Riddick, and I suspect I never will, but I would not see you so torn. There must be something to do to ease the pain, you just need to think of what it is."

When he thought about it more, he realized that hugging this dangerous man would likely be a very unwise thing to do. He stopped, frowning, and decided he couldn't quite make himself take his life into his hands like that. But they were very close together, and he laughed once lightly before he started to pull away. This was really too intimate a pose to be in with someone he disliked.

"I know how to stop it, just isn't close by for me to use it right now." He bit out as the pain got worse, feeling dizzy.He sat up as hishead swam and his eyes focused on Legolas but it was not the Elf he was seeing.

All other words left his mind as he lenaed in, not at all thinking as his lips brushed across those of the Elf. He could not explain what got into him. And it seemed as though his body knew this was not the man he was seeing in his mind.

His chest began to burn and against those lips of the Elf, Riddick whispered one word. One name and it was like a prayer, a plea and a curse. "Vaako..." Then he pulled away, gasping as he blinked and looked at the Elf with wide eyes. No.. he.. fuck.

"Now more reason to hate me. May our paths not cross again." Despite the pain, Riddick stood, begged himself to run. His legs barely worked but he managed to get away without falling.

To say he was caught completely and totally off guard by the kiss of the Human was about the understatement of the year. He gasped, immediately pulled away, but Riddick had already done the same and was staggering away. The Elf's thoughts whirled as he tried to think, tried to figure out what had just happened.

Riddick spoke to him, but he only barely noticed most of the words. One, though, stood out more than the others. Mostly just for the way the human had said it. It sounded like a name, like a name of someone beloved. Interesting...

He watched, his hands to his lips, as the human ran off. He would have normally tried to help him, but right now, he couldn't make himself do that. Instead, he only watched, and then sighed and started off in a different direction. He needed to get back to his room, before anything else wierd happened.
