[A mess of wild, unkempt brown hair can be seen cascaded over a tanned, dirtied and bruised face. The direction of the feed is strange and awkwardly angled; the fragmented remains of green and white armor, and shredded black giving way to an equally bruised and burnt chest appear alarming. The barely distinguishable sand the body rests on and the

*... Well, if that's not a sign of something 'special' she doesn't what is. The remaining armor reminds her a bit of Power Rangers - but he was a mess. He looked like he just walked into tornado and crash landed here.

A little sigh.*

It's nothing to laugh about Kaburagi-san. You should go see a doctor.

[fiveminutefail]

I don't need a doctor, I promise.

[He pauses, and tries his hand at a pain-free grin.]

This is nothing, I'll be good as new in no time at all!

[denpaism]

Liar.

*What she gives is a firm and simple answer.*

I can tell these things ... Playing the tough guy won't work with me. *It's a lie. But at the same time, she's not naive enough to believe him.*

[fiveminutefail]

E-eh? But I'm not...

[A sigh. He all but whines:] I'm not playing the tough guy.

[denpaism]

*Saki has to repress another sigh. Instead she'll give him a blank look.*

... Even if you really will be okay, I think it would relieve a lot of worry if you did. It's unfair for people who care about your well being.

[fiveminutefail]

[His eyes widen and he pauses, before he casts them off to the side, his expression turning a little guilty.]

When my partner comes to get me, I'll let him make the call.

[He tries his best to smile, but it seems forced.]

I just didn't want anyone to worry about it.

1/2

[denpaism]

Good.

*She closes her eyes in acknowledgment. Her expression is considerably softer. He seems to have someone who can take care of him after all.*

2/2

[denpaism]

... That kind of sentiment is noble, I think. But your timing was a bit off.

*If she hadn't seen what kind of state he was in, she would have believed him probably.*

[fiveminutefail]

[He just pouts once more.]

I at least sounded kinda cool, right?

[denpaism]

*... Why does she feel old when she talks to Kotetsu anyway.*

A little. *Honestly, sounded more goofy than anything else but might as well cheer him up.*

...Why are you dressed like that anyway?

[fiveminutefail]

[He's just... so unexplainably excited to hear that.

It's quick to die, though, at the mention of how's he's dressed.]

Uh. This? This is... pretty normal back home

[denpaism]

... What a strange world you live in. *And she'll buy that for now.*

It looks like something from Super Sentai series ... Do you fight bad guys too?

*Of course that is said lightheartedly.*

[fiveminutefail]

Yeah, it sure is.

[He laughs, albeit nervously.]

Do I fight bad guys? [A long pause, before he sighs.] K-kind of?

[Secret identity be damned, it's getting harder and harder to hide this kind of thing here. The dream and that Hero suit of his are totally not helping.]

[denpaism]

... I was just kidding, you know. Although it does sound interesting ...

*And possibly dangerous. But she is rather curious ... What to do. She peers at him with more seriousness.*

Is it something a girl like me can know about Kotetsu-san?

[fiveminutefail]

Can we talk about it later?

[He pouts, steadily faltering under her serious gaze.]

I'm suddenly not feeling so hot.

[It's either "I'm a Hero" or "I'm injured" at this point, and "I'm injured" seems like the better choice.

It's too bad he can't think up an outright lie on the spot under his current circumstances.]

[denpaism]

... Well, I don't like interrogating sick man. Maybe next time then.

*If he doesn't really want to say it now - she can't really push the issue. She hardly knows Kotetsu after all. Curious she might be, she didn't want to be too nosy ... *

Take care until then, Kotetsu-san.
