11th Wheel of Fate [Accidental Voice/Action]

[The feed starts off with a small thud: someone managed to knock the journal to the ground in her sleep. The actual image only shows the roof of a room, and the only thing that can actually be heard is an occasional pained whimper and, rarely, unintelligible, quiet mumbling that vaguely sounds like someone trying to mutter someone's name.

[And strangely, that ow is worrying to the demon, but having noticed someone else who responded and that someone already volunteered to help, he slaps on a quick filter.] Are you doing all right now?

[Voice/Filtered 100%]

[awakenedchaos]

[And just as before, her response is going to be a little late - though this time, it's because she's upgrading that filter.]

Yeah, I'm fine. [That's a lie, and one that's easily betrayed by how weak her voice sounds... though that's not because of that fall just now, at least.]

[Voice/Filtered 100%]

[blackenedchaos]

[Good plan, Yuber lacks the attention span for perfect filters even if he actually technically could figure it out.

And he notices that weakness, but who is he to talk about lying like that, he'd do the exact same thing.] This isn't from when we fought each other, right?

[Voice/Filtered 100%]

[awakenedchaos]

[...Heh. Under normal circumstances, that would probably have earned him a giggle. Right now, though, she'll settle for a smile, even if it's a weak one.]

Of course not. That's healed by now. [And this time, she's actually telling the truth.]

[Voice/Filtered 100%]

[blackenedchaos]

[The weak smile reassures him a bit.] Who hurt you then? I'll kill them for you.

[And yeah, that's probably not the best suggestion, but he doesn't know for sure it's Ragna even if he knows very well the effects of Ragna's powers, he just hasn't quite put two and two together yet on this.]

[Voice/Filtered 100%] 1/2

[awakenedchaos]

[...Wait a minute. Did he seriously just suggest that?

...What.]

[Voice/Filtered 100%] 2/2

[awakenedchaos]

[...Nonononononono. No way in hell is she going to let him do that.]

You really don't have to do that! I can take care of them myself, you know that! [Really, she had a pretty clear advantage in that fight. It's just that something she tried backfired horribly on her.

...Not that she has any reason to go after Ragna again after what happened, anyway. Or to ever try that little stunt that backfired on her again unless a Cauldron ever appears in Luceti or something.]

[Voice/Filtered 100%]

[blackenedchaos]

I know you can. That one fact says this person is dangerous. There are few here who can do that.

[Voice/Filtered 100%]

[awakenedchaos]

That doesn't mean that you have to kill them! [Besides, technically speaking, the reason she's sounding weaker than usual is a self-inflicted wound, not something Ragna did when they fought on Friday...

...That just complicates things even more, doesn't it?]

[Voice/Filtered 100%]

[blackenedchaos]

[If he knew that, it would be different. He's assuming some strong person attacked her. And the overprotective bodyguard instinct is kicking in.] How else can I make sure you don't get attacked again?

[Voice/Filtered 100%]

[awakenedchaos]

[She doesn't really want to say what exactly happened, but... well, if that's what she has to do to keep him from doing something he really shouldn't, she might just bring it up anyway. We'll see.]

But I wasn't attacked by anyone! [...For now, though, she'd rather not say much more than that.]

[Voice/Filtered 100%]

[blackenedchaos]

[It's the way demons think, if it annoys you, kill it. And he can actually understand doing harm to one's self to do greater harm to an enemy. Fire Runes were still useful despite the fact that they could harm you and your allies, after all.] What happened then?

[Voice/Filtered 100%]

[awakenedchaos]

[Except in her case, doing greater harm to the one she was fighting wasn't her intention at all. It's just that she forgot something vital, which... pretty much led to her doing something ridiculously stupid.]

...I tried something and it backfired. That's all.

[Voice/Filtered 100%]

[blackenedchaos]

[Hey, let Yuber think as he will, he can't understand all the stuff in her world and it is likely better he equates it with a rune that has drawbacks, but can be advantageous when used correctly.

And that actually makes Yuber laugh a bit, a rather creepy sounding laugh, but he's amused. Not laughing at her, more at himself for thinking that someone besides him could hurt her.] I should have known no one but you or me could harm you. [Still doesn't mean he won't kill anyone who hurts her.]

[Voice/Filtered 100%]

[awakenedchaos]

[Honestly, compared to some things in her world, that little stunt she tried to pull is actually relatively simple. Doesn't make what she did any less stupid, but at least it'd be fairly easy to explain if he asked her.]

Of course not. You know it's not easy to injure me. [Okay, no, that's not quite true. Injuring her is easy if her opponent actually manages to hit her. It's severely injuring her that's the issue.

...And that laugh's a bit unnerving, though that might just be because she's still a little shaken up from everything that's been happening. Not that she intends to comment, but... still.]

Humans still can be very unpredictable, especially when they band together. [He's not sounding as amused now, because he's remembering how damn close they came to killing him before he arrived here now.]
