[ The feed starts rather suddenly, to a view of Lenalee sprawled out all along Komui's bed. The blankets are half covering one of her legs, while the rest of her is out in the open, revealing her still wearing her Exorcist uniform. Her shoes are carelessly tossed off in a corner of the room, and one sock is rolled down to her ankles.

The uniform

Whoa. You okay?

Welcome back!! Komui must be glad to see you again.

[friendsareall]

I'm fine.

And thank you! He's insisting I go to the Matron.

[inyourf_ace]

Good, you should. You look a bit beat up.

[friendsareall]

It's nothing she should bother with.

You went out on a mission too, right? How did it go?

[inyourf_ace]

Only if you're a masochist.

It was all right. Wet.

[friendsareall]

I'm not. They just aren't very bad wounds.

Wet? You didn't lik- [ Aaaaand then she remembers what Komui told her. Aw, poor Ace. ] - ... Are you alright?

[inyourf_ace]

Even small wounds can grow bigger with time.

Yeah. It's not painful or anything, just uncomfortable. It's worse on ice, because it melts through.

[friendsareall]

Not if you're careful. [ Mwah, sigh. ] I'll go see her once I've slept a little, okay?

That's good.[ She frowns. ] I'm sorry that had to happen to you, Ace.

[inyourf_ace]

You could always sleep while she's tending wounds? That's what I do.

... [Blinks.] Why? It's nothing major. It was nice to get out and stretch, and I still got to burn things and I got to bring presents back for my friends. I'd rather do that fighting to help someone than just be in the rain running from marines. You and Komui worry too much. So long as I don't have to go swimming or skiing I'm pretty happy. Just complaining for the sake of it, but don't take it too seriously, okay? Looks like you got a much rougher job as it is. I mean, Smoker and I didn't even have to do much other than provide a smoke screen.

[friendsareall]

... I don't like hospitals. I couldn't fall asleep in there.

That is... Don't say that. [Refering to the 'rougher job' part. ] We have equal parts to play in this war. No one's job is rougher.

... And I still can't help but feel bad. You were out of your element. It must have been hard,nonetheless.

[inyourf_ace]

Oh... hn... fair enough. You want me to come with you while she gives you a checkup? I'll make sure nothing bad happens!

This whole world is out of my element.
I mean, I'm a pirate after all. But I'd rather be here than not at all. Haha.

[friendsareall]

I... I would like that. Thank you, Ace.

You like it here, then? [ Kinda really shocked. :o ]

[inyourf_ace]

Any time. My enemy had a creepy doctor with him, so I get the feeling.

Yeah, pretty much. It's a little cooped up in the castle, but it's not Impel Down or anything.

[friendsareall]

Ah. A lot of people don't like hospitals. Bad memories, probably.

Impel Down?

[inyourf_ace]

Makes sense. You only go to them when things are already bad so it'd be more likely to stick that way.

Pirate prison. It's meant to be hell. Literally. Or at least they tried to make it that way.

[friendsareall]

That sounds horrible. [ Pause... thinking here. ] Were you... in that prison?
