[ OOC: Taken just a little after this post! ]

Please...

[ Kohaku's voice is low, drastically low, and streams of tears fall harshly on the ground from where the device is lying. From here, you can see the poor boy, crumbled and bruised, sitting next to a tree. Kirara is beside him, a low whine stream from her lips as she seems to by beside

[Killua debates a moment before replying with video, but it's probably best to show himself to someone in a state like this. Less reason for him to get defensive, and seeing someone else acting calm may help him calm down.]

...How long?

[ Kohaku hears the voice with a little jolt, but it takes him a moment to answer. ] I- I don't know... a- a awhile, I don't know. I didn't mean to--

[ By this point he's unintelligible; the tears washing over anew. ]

[Kohaku's anguish doesn't faze Killua. He just keeps speaking in that same even tone.]

Look, she's gonna come back either way. But one way means you need a healer there ASAP, and the other means you need to make sure her body isn't burned to a crisp this week.

Once you deal with that, you can break down all you want.

[ Well, aren't you certainly the voice of reason? He shakes, clearly uncomfortable with the words, but finally manages a nod. ]

Y- yeah... I won't lose her again. I won't--

[kill_joo_ded]

[He's usually pretty good for that. Just don't tell Sango.]

You didn't lose her this time. The great thing about people coming back to life is that even when they die, they're not dead.

[blamelessguilt]

[ Oh, he won't. For now. ]

Wait, back to life--? [ He had heard about it before, but never quite understood it. Hard for someone who had the same thing happen to him. However, it was still hard to believe that she was... well, dead. ] So she... she's going to be okay?

[kill_joo_ded]

Well- [He didn't say that, but...] She's gonna be her. So probably.

[blamelessguilt]

[ That didn't sound reassuring at all. The boy's face falls, a little unsure. ]

What... what do you mean?

[kill_joo_ded]

She's your sister or something, right? You've known her longer than I have, so it should be obvious to you.

[blamelessguilt]

[ His head turns from the screen, staring now at his sister's face. ]

Mmm. She... she is my sister. [ It had been awhile that he was able to say this openly, yet everytime he did it still left this sweet taste in his mouth. His wonderful, strong, sister... ]

[kill_joo_ded]

So? You really think she'd let herself be anything other than okay?

[blamelessguilt]

[ he really did have a point. Smart move, broski. ]

Ane-ue is really strong- stronger than I'll ever be. Sh- she is always alright. So... so-

[kill_joo_ded]

[Sango so owes him one.]

So you should probably get to that healer and tell them what happened.
