[It had been nearly a week since he was killed. The entire time, Kanda had stayed in his room in the Southwest to rest. He hadn't left the room until today. And today? He was in one of the infirmaries, looking for bandages

[B| So unhappy with you. Or. Will be.

Right now she's slipping out one of the back doors in the infirmary, one of her weekly appointments. The familiar fluttering catches her ear and she looks over.]

Kanda...?

[Walking over with a worried expression on her face, forgetting completely that they're on uneven ground at the moment. Her first concern is her brother. 'Tias puts her hand against his cheek to check his temperature, his complexion worrying her more.]

You should be in bed, not out and about looking like the plague! [You're just as bad as Tyki. B|]

[stainedlotus]

[Glancing over at his name, freezing a little. He hadn't seen Mattias in...almost a month, was it? Definitely a bad time to be running into her.

And heey. ...Okay so he and Tyki have that in common too. Just don't tell him he slipped away from the courtyard 8|

Brb, resuming search.] I'm fine, 'Tias.

[themisnamed]

[Not to her, to Mattias it's the perfect time. Especially when you're being stubborn like this.

...Yeah, best be careful she doesn't shove you in the same apartment-room that she put Tyki in.

Reaches out and grabs his wrist, moving in front of him and giving him a stern look.]

No, you're not. Especially if you're calling me "'Tias". ["Mattias" is all she normally hears out of you. So she's pulling him toward one of the beds, putting just enough pressure on his shoulders to make him sit on it.]

Shirt off, now.

[stainedlotus]

[...Sitting! Then hesitating before bringing his bandaged hands up to unbutton his shirt. Still hurts a little, but oh well. When the shirt's finally off, she'll find his chest is bandaged up too.

Tease'll just come over and nest on his head.]

[teasingtwin]

[Leaning against the entrance, ignoring the fact the throbbing pain from the back of his head. Crossing his arms over his chest]

Kitchen knife.

[stainedlotus]

[Stops, jumping a little. Dammit, he hadn't though Tyki noticed he left. Glancing back at.]

...Tyki.

[teasingtwin]

...Need any help?

[stainedlotus]

Just need bandages.

[Hands might be starting to bleed a little from using them so much. Giving a soft hiss as he goes back to searching.] Shit...

[mottling]

[Suddenly, there's a supportive hand at Kanda's elbow and a brisk:] Honoured disciple. Allow me.

[His tone says, 'Or I will make you. Politely.' Madarao hasn't noticed the Tease, nor is he aware he's dealing with his charge yet, but an Exorcist is still an Exorcist, and thus deserves his help.]

[stainedlotus]

[Kanda forces himself not to jump, although he does glance over. Shit. Shitshitshit. This couldn't be happening. This was the last thing he wanted to happen, aside from running into Apocryphos again.]

...I'm fine, Madarao. ['Hi, haven't seen you in a while.']

[mottling]

[Nice to know he's been lumped with the Apocryphos, mister. There's a slight pause, before his fingers tighten a fraction on Kanda's elbow, forcing him to turn slightly so Madarao can get a better look at him.]

...

[HIGHLY DISPLEASED WITH YOU, YOUNG MAN.]

What in the good lord's name have you gotten yourself into?

[stainedlotus]

[Hey, no offense. Kanda tenses under the hold, staying silent for a few moments. He can't say. He just gives a shake of his head and tries to pull away. He knows he can't lie through it, not with his hands bandaged and his fever, but.

He can still insist he's fine.

Madarao, have Tease flittering its wings at you to let Kanda go.]

[inkedhistory]

Yuuuuu!!!

...E-eh?

What the hell happened to ya?!

[stainedlotus]

It's nothing.

[inkedhistory]

You know, ya aren't getting rid of me that easy. So spill.

[stainedlotus]

No.
