[willing_sheath]

[Stumbles into Midgard, looking quite disheveled and half drunk, sporting a very large, dark bruise along her right cheekbone and temple.]

[Doesn't continue to apartment 5, once she's through the door she finds the nearest wall, leaning sideways against it before just sinking down to her knees, one hand moving to hold her head.]

Oh, geez... *hurries over and kneels down next to her*

((Okay if I jump in with a random Yorick?))

[willing_sheath]

[Her reaction is a bit delayed considering she's still got sedative in her system but she tenses as he kneels down, her arms coming up around her slightly and looks up wild-eyed with a slight jerk.]

[ooc; fine by me!]

[nocommonsenses]

*crouches carefully about half a foot away, not touching her, concerned look on his face* I think I recognize you. Do you know my roommate? Kenshin?

[willing_sheath]

[It takes a moment, but she relaxes... to a point.]

[It took a moment for his question to register then she nodded slowly, brows twisting up slightly.]

He is... my husband...

[nocommonsenses]

*looks momentarily shocked* Really? Then why is he boinking the...

*eyes widen and he shuts up* What happened, Mrs. Kenshin?

[willing_sheath]

[That's right... she was supposed to stop saying that... Because they all reacted like this when she did...]

Tomoe. Himura Tomoe...

[Glances away.]

I... let them touch me didn't cooperate... with the nurse...

[nocommonsenses]

I hate it when they do that. Vindictive bitches. Just 'cause they're not getting any...

I... um... here... *reaches around carefully, hesitantly, to see if she'll let him but an arm around her* Let me help you up, Ms. Himura. Last name first, right? If you want, I can take you to our apartment. We can wait there for... for Kenshin to get back. *unsure where he is, hopes he's okay*

[willing_sheath]

[Tenses instantly when he moves, but doesn't strike out. Don't touch me... Don't...]

[Reminds herself that he is clearly trying to help and tries to relax before nodding.]

[nocommonsenses]

*hesitates, then slowly lifts her to her feet* I'm Yorick, by the way. Yorick Brown. *leads her to the steps*

[willing_sheath]

[Stands slowly, heavy on her feet, the sedatives still in her system, and stumbles along with him.]

[ooc; and it's my bedtime! will catch tags in the morning <3]

[nocommonsenses]

Grab the railing. Careful now.

God, this is just like college. Um, Ms. Himura... Tomoe... Can you handle the stairs, or do I need to carry you?

[willing_sheath]

NO.

[Flinches at the sound of her own voice, turning toward the railing more, grabbing it with both hands.]

[Stop it... Just... stop it... he doesn't mean any harm... he's helping you... just stop it...]

I'll... be alright...

[nocommonsenses]

Right. I'll just... I'll just spot you, then. *behind her, a good foot and a half or so, hands up in the air, ready to catch her if she falls* Take your time. I'll try to catch you if you fall.

((Ari: Jump in anytime!))

[thesoulbound]

-=had been getting ready to go out and look for them again. Spots Tomoe and Yorick and his eyes widen=-

Tomoe!

-=skitters over to them, not daring to touch her, yet=-
Oh... Tomoe... Your face. -=frowns=-

Are you hurt anywhere else? -=keeps his voice small and non-threatening.=-

[willing_sheath]

[Hands cling to the railing as she all but pulls herself up the first step, only to jump at the sound of her name, teetering back briefly before curling toward the railing again.]

[Stays hunched over for a second before finally looking up at Alphonse, mumbling his name.]

[Her face darkens a little at the question, glancing away. If she would speak to anyone other than Kenshin, it would be him. But not with a stranger present--so she ignores the question entirely.]

...

Where is Kenshin?

[nocommonsenses]

*looks away for a second, ashamed that he is obviously keeping her from talking, then looks back up at Alphonse* I've been holed up in my room all day, so I don't know.
