[and_above_all]

[Since the corpses started appearing on the network, Kiriko has been staying in his room as much as possible. Must have had something to do with that creepy little girl, and he didn't want any part in it. But now that it's over, he feels obligated to make sure no one was actually hurt.]

I don't know... what exactly went on the last couple of weeks,

Have you been getting along alright, Kiriko-san?

Re: video

[and_above_all]

[He shrugs. Besides watching the corpse thing on the network and living in a possibly caving-in apartment building, yeah, he's not doing so bad.]

You know what? Yeah, better than I thought I would. It helps to know you're not alone.

[Just like the war, he guesses. But remembering he had something to say to Yukio, he suddenly blurts out excitedly:]

Your brother told me you were a Doctor! You should have told me before, Yukio!

[smiling_dragoon]

It certainly does.

[He blinks for a moment at the exclamation, but then smiles.]

At home most people already know, so I guess I'm just not used to advertising.

Re: video

[and_above_all]

[So he really is?! He wasn't sure whether the older sibling was exaggerating, but Kiriko finds himself impressed.]

But you're so young... that's.. wow! Guess you're kinda like me, then.

[He was always out of place with the other med students, sometimes being ten, twenty years younger than his peers.]

How did you do it?

[adreamminealone]

You're a doctor?

[at first he looks curious and maybe a little amazed, then the look on his face changes to a nervous one.]

Oh... I-I'm sorry. I should've introduced myself first. My name is Ruca Milda and... a-actually.... [quietly:] I-I would like to become a doctor in the future...

Re: video

[and_above_all]

[Kiriko smiles kindly at them. Hey, no need to be nervous.]

It's no problem. Nice to meet you, Ruca. Why are you so shy about it? I think that's great.

[Though his own enthusiasm for becoming a Doctor has waned somewhat, he's still happy for someone else who'd want to take up the job.]

[adreamminealone]

It... is?

[he's shy most of the time.]

Oh, b-but it isn't so easy to become one, is it?

[and_above_all]

Yeah, of course it's great. Saving lives... it's a big job. But it's worth it, yeah?

[Maybe. Probably... ..Eh.]

It takes a lot of time and effort, sure. But you can't hope to save human lives without putting effort in. If you want to do it, you will, don't worry.

[and_above_all]

[At first he's a little confused, but then realizes what Rin means.]

Offer like what? I'm just doing what I should.

[and_above_all]

[More confusion. Is he being complimented, or..?]

It's a Doctor's job to look after everyone, so I thought it was the right thing to do. But uh... Thanks, I think.

[He looks back over the feeds and finds this a day later.]

I'm fine, just lost a friend who went back home. Hit me harder than I would have liked. I tend to take off for a while when that happens. Thanks, Doc.

Re: text;

[and_above_all]

[Oh, he thought it was because of those strange broadcasts on the network. But that's even worse.]

Ouch, sorry to hear that. Understandable, take your time.

No problem. Just had a feeling something was up. Hope you're okay.

[He won't say this to Lavi, but did that mean Libitina got rid of them once she was bored with her "toy?" He doesn't know if that's good or bad news.]

[looseleafbook]

[He's...got a good shield against finding himself dead. Helps also when you've killed yourself before.]

I'll be fine in a few more days but I promised I'd be back in a week.

It wasn't widely broadcasted that he was gone, I guess. It's fine.

[Don't ask him, he's been here once or twice before.]

Re: text;

[and_above_all]

Okay. I'm glad you're 'fine.'

And your friend will be okay, too.

[smiling at you warmly.]

Thank you so much for offering your help. I am a healer and my name is Estellise Sidos Heurassein, but please call me Estelle. It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kiriko.

Re: [video]

[and_above_all]

[He smiles back just as kindly.]

It's no problem. The pleasure's mine, Estelle!

[But wait back up.]

Did you say you were a "healer?" [As in magic?] Sorry, but what does that mean?

[video]

[0sacred_blame0]

[More smiling.]

Oh, it means I am able to use healing magic.

Re: [video]

[and_above_all]

[Ah. So it is magic... Kiriko will reserve judgment for now, as she seems like a nice girl so far.]

Oh... But... how? Are you born with it, or did you have to learn?

[He takes a second to think about what he said. Oops, that came off as a little rude..]

Gah, sorry. I guess that was a bit out of nowhere. You don't have to answer that.
