[Taking that advice right then and there.]

Shinpachi, I'm so sorry...!

8)))))

[pattan]

And...I'm glad you came back.

I knew you would.

[curious_copycat]

Are you alright? Is Lien...?

[pattan]

She's fine.

[curious_copycat]

And you...?

[pattan]

I'm glad you're better.

[curious_copycat]

[She's starting to get the feeling that you're hiding something about your wellbeing or possible lack thereof, Shinpachi. :-{ ]

Yes, but...

Are you healed okay...?

[pattan]

I'm healed up just fine.

I've been hurt a lot worse.

[curious_copycat]

[Visible relief goes here.]

I'm glad you're alright...

[pattan]

Why wouldn't I be?

You're safe!

[curious_copycat]

[Oh, Shinpachi... T_T]

Well... because I hurt you. I did an awful thing.

[pattan]

I'm a lot tougher than I look, Polly-san.

Some cuts and bruises won't stop me.

[pattan]

I'm just sorry that nothing I did really mattered.

[curious_copycat]

Of course it mattered! It mattered to me! You were there for me! You waited.

[Beware the wibbles.]

And I put all those awful memories in your head...

[pattan]

It was...nothing I couldn't handle.
