[ The cut-off sound of stumbling, and violent coughing. ] --irus? What is -

[ Fumbling noises, and Lenalee's face fills the screen. She's bedraggled, bruised, dried blood at the side of her mouth, and she looks like she just took a swim. Her eyes are narrowed, and her battle instincts are still flaring, having been taken away mid-fight with Eshii

[beaten and bruised beauty. definitely something he didn't want to ever see again. mental images of how he imagined Saki to be when she was kidnapped flashed through his mind yet again.

no. not again...]

[tsunderetsun]

Oi..! Are you alright?! What happened??

video.

[disfidare]

[ Oh! There's video, too. Lenalee looks startled when the screen comes to life, but she shakes her head and manages a wry smile. She must've looked a sight, huh? ]

I'm all right; you don't have to worry about it.

[ It's a kid, not older than her, and she softens a little. ]

I must look terrible.

[tsunderetsun]

[his expression softens a bit, but concern still lingers. he's skeptical about her words but... if she says so...]

Are you sure? Do you need help?

[he blinks a bit before giving a slightly forced laugh]

Heh... well, yeah. A beauty like you doesn't need bruises like those all over her...!

[disfidare]

[ It's really very nice of him, isn't he? Her smile is warmer, now, and she shakes her head. ]

I'm sure; I'll be all right.

[ And oh -- she blinks, unused to those words (her brother would viciously attack anyone who so much as hinted). ] Ah, well - I suppose these things happen, don't they?

[tsunderetsun]

Ehh?? It happens, yeah, but it doesn't mean that it's right!

[tsunderetsun]

[his expression drops a bit, as his mind once again returns to the incident with Saki. Hearing her screams of pain... it was something he didn't want to ever hear. Even at the hospital, he couldn't stand to look at her like that.

And then Anri...]

[tsunderetsun]

[he finally shakes from his thoughts]

There's an infirmary somewhere here. You should head on over there.

[ She notices. Somehow, the brightness in the boy's tone doesn't suit his eyes, as if the exuberance somehow falls short.

Lenalee wonders if he's thinking about someone else. ]

[disfidare]

Did it happen before...? To you, I mean.

[he blinks] Ah..? Happen to me...?

[tsunderetsun]

[he's silent a bit.]

Ah, not to me personally, but a close friend of mine was hospitalized. She was ambushed and all; thankfully she's alright. [TOO BAD HE'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU SLASHER.... klsjfka]
