Did anyone else hear that scream?

[blameshimself]

I think most of the city did.

[bloodshedlament]

It's a bit nerve racking.

[blameshimself]

Wasn't it?

[bloodshedlament]

There seems to be nothing we can do...how are you Tohma-san?

[blameshimself]

It's best not to worry about things you have no control over. If someone died, then I'm sure the scientists will bring them back.

I'm fine. [...] Better than before at least. Still getting used to the medicine....

And yourself?

[bloodshedlament]

Ah- I've been sleeping a lot lately because of the medicine. But getting better every day. Tetsu-kun came to visit the other day, and it was interesting. Makes me miss them. I'll be going home soon enough though...has the medicine been working for you?

[slightly odd since they are both only a few rooms away XP]

[blameshimself]

Tetsu-kun didn't exaggerate what Ryuichi was doing, did he?

[...]

I'm really glad the medicine is working, Okita-san. How soon will you be able to leave? [ Totally ignoring the question about how well the medicine has been working. ]

[ He'd visit Souji! Oh, but the energyyyy. ]

[bloodshedlament]

Um no, I managed to cut him off- I had a pretty good guess what he saw. You realize if his brother ever found out he would kill us all?

[he laughs at this anyway. Getting up he leans on his sword and begins to move towards Tohmas room. He still has to speak with Tohma-darling...in private.]

Two months should I have nothing happen. You never said how the medicine-

[he opens the door to Tohmas room]

is working for you.

[frown- you are NOT getting away from this.]

[blameshimself]

I promise Ryuichi didn't do anything inappropriate. He, like Tetsu-kun, was dressed up like a girl. Ryuichi just happened to make a better girl than him.

[ Oh god. HAVE A STARE. Sittin' there in bed, foldin' paper covered in music into an origami swan. ]

...He-Hello, Okita-san.

[bloodshedlament]

[oh yes...you my friend are in deep. He cuts the feed and closed the door behind him. Going he sat himself on the end of Tohma's bed and then stared at him.]

Has it been working?

[blameshimself]

[ Smiling nervously and focusing on his paper-swan. ]

Yes.

[bloodshedlament]

[Souji stared at him then reached out a hand and placed it on his cheek. Moving closer he moved his hand to Tohma's forehead then back into his lap. With a sigh he looked away.]

You shouldn't have come so close.

[blameshimself]

If you're feeling for a fever, the medicine has brought it down, finally.

[...]

It's hard to take care of someone from ten feet away. I wasn't about to let you suffer alone, Okita-san.

[bloodshedlament]

So you go and catch it?! Tohma-san...If you knew it was contagious...If you knew, then WHY?!

[he began to shakes, but it wasn't very noticeable. Instead his face remained rather placid.]

Will I be the cause of your death too?

[blameshimself]

...Well. In the future, there are things called vaccinations that are meant to protect against that kind of thing. They're not always 100% effective, but... I really didn't think I was in danger of catching it.

Don't jump to conclusions like that, Okita-san. I'm not going to die.

[bloodshedlament]

[he just stares at him softly.]

It's just,...my fault.
