[ Peter’s dosage of milk is of the special variety, and it’s got him holed up in various corners of the house that he has no intention of leaving. Hallucinations and paranoia are running rampant through his head, curled into himself for as long as he can get away with. He doesn't want to see ( Read more... )

[ Minako watches from a small distance as he's curled up in one of the rooms. Part of her feels.. a bit guilty, perhaps, that she hadn't been the one to drink the milk, but the most important thing to do in this place was looking after Usagi. And for that her head had to stay clear and she had to stay uninjured.

And yet, to see anyone else in her house like this..

At first she doesn't speak up just yet, just watching quietly. ]

[ Whenever he stops.. y'know, hallucinating, he'll be perfectly content to tell her that he was the one that signed up to drink the stuff, it's not like he's particularly upset about the whole thing. He'd much rather be the one to put himself in the line of fire instead of watching anyone else get hurt.

But right now? Right now it just sucked, when all there was was the memory of the virus and Adam's betrayal and the deaths of all the people he's convinced that he's caused.

It takes him a couple seconds to realize that he's being watched because even though he's stuck in his head, he's not oblivious and he jerks his attention upwards, completely fine with watching right back. He's just not sure he has anything worth saying. ]

[ She's heard of the effects, or at least the possibilities of the effects, and.. well, he doesn't seem to be dying, luckily, so perhaps it's something less severe. And she feels so helpless without her powers fully back - she can't help this man, she can't help Usagi.

And yet she wants to do something, she's stubborn enough for that. ]

Are you.. okay? [ The answer is obvious, but maybe she can make him talk a little. ]

Yeah. [ He's quick to answer just because lying seems so much easier then telling the truth. That he's done everything wrong--

Or maybe he just thinks he has. Everything's gotten so mixed up, so instead of answering honestly, he gives way to his actual concerns instead. ] You're not dying, right? You're still okay?

Yeah, I'm just fine.

[ It's the honest answer either way-- she's worried as hell over things, but she's physically okay, so she just nods, hoping it's a bit reassuring. ]

I'm not planning on dying anytime soon, so you don't have to worry about that.

[ It's as reassuring as anything else, really -- which is to say that it's not all that reassuring, but it's better than nothing at all. ]

Good. [ He looks away for a moment, before his attention snaps back to her. ] Don't. [ a beat ] Die, I mean- you can't. Not because of this.

Hm. I won't die. [ A slight nod again. ]

It's a promise.

[ Not that she can actually promise anything for sure, not here in an unpredictable city like Mayfield. But she will avoid dying here, of course , so she might as well promise for now. ]

[ It doesn't really matter if it's a promise that she can't truly keep because well, it's not really one any of them would be able to. Especially not here, as he's quickly coming to realize. ]

Good. [ granted, he's talking more about the virus than anything else, but that's.. beside the point. ] I'll take care of the rest of it.

Ah.. [ She hesitates for a moment. But he seems to be okay - he doesn't seem to be dying, at the very least, so.. ]

Yeah. ... I'll leave the rest to you then.

[ And with that she turns around, walking out of the room again. ]

[ And with that he just.. watches her go, rubbing at his face to try to clear his head for another half a second. ]
