A/N: This is from Hero With A Thousand Feathers, where Iago accidentally releases an ancient evil and blames Genie in order to get out of facing it. Unfortunately, since Genie was not the one that actually set this other entity free, it pretty much beats him into semi-consciousness. Of course, the story has a happy ending, but I did notice that during the episode, Carpet was the one to go after and make sure Genie didn't get any worse off than he already was. It was a pity that they didn't expand that a bit, really.
Concussion:
Things today just seemed to go from bad to worse. If it was not the fact that a certain evil entity, going by the name of Amuck, had come to Agrabah, it was the fact that he could only be defeated by the one who released him. And, according to the grapevine, that had been Genie.
Problem was, no matter what the jinni tried, the monster stayed alive and well, throwing aside whatever was thrown at him [which included the entity] no matter how powerful. However, Genie was never one to be deterred, through multiple failures or massive head trauma. But whether or not this was a good quality was something that Carpet had to seriously debate for a moment. Especially seeing as Genie was currently lying on his back, in the crater that his body had made when it hit the ground, with small blue birds flying in circles around his head as he dizzily watched, a loopy grin on his face.
"Lookit the pretty birds…" Genie babbled, firmly lost in concussion-talk for the moment. Carpet, meanwhile, sat by, wondering if it was worth the trouble to take the jinni back to the palace. Though, since Amuck was running the city and would be near that area, not to mention how Genie might react upon seeing him, the rug concluded that it would be better to stay put for the moment.
As he considered the matter, Genie seemed to partially snap out of his daze, looking at the rug confusedly.
"Carpet…?" He mumbled, swaying a little as he tried to sit up. Wavering concernedly, the aftermentioned rug tried to at least prop the other up a bit so he wouldn't fall backwards. Goodness knows the jinni had had plenty of punishment without a wayward knock to muddle things up even more.
"Thanks. Yer a good rug, friend, person…"
If Carpet were capable, he would have laughed, but for the moment, he merely settled for patting the dizzy jinni on the shoulder with a tassel, and trying to keep him from falling over. When Amuck left, he would bring Genie someplace safer, but for now, this would have to do.
