[The elusive and sticky little fingers of a lone imp opens the feed just as Zero's fist - blackened with ink from mid-forearm to the tips of his long fingers - slams back against a navy and white tiled bathroom wall with a thick, though sharp sounding crack!, splintering the ceramic. Small chunks and bits of those tiles crumble to the floor where

Zero... [There's alarm in her voice. No need to wonder what is wrong, even setting the tattoo aside which is already spreading across her lower back in kind. Still, she can feel the bitter jolt of familiarity, almost nostalgic, though sadly so.

Why...? After all this time, the tablets were working, weren't they? Though little better than consuming celery for a meal, they help to tame the thirst, nevertheless.

Unless, perhaps...could it be the household head...?

Determined, her eyes crease, staring straight into the lens.]

I'm coming over.

[An expression of worry appears on her face at seeing this broadcast, and it only increases when seeing the ink spread.]

Zero, are you...?

[video]

[bloodypawn]

[...And yet, the ink is hardly of real concern at the moment. Still, aside from the others from home, Kallen is one of very few he's come to not want to worry over him. He just glances to the device.]

I'll be fine, Kallen...

[gurenpiloting]

If you say so...

[Actually, she doesn't buy it, and skepticism creeps in her tone as she speaks.]

You should really get that taken cared of soon.

[video]

[bloodypawn]

[... well, it's a more public topic here, at least.]

It's not even at my elbow yet. I still have a few days, at least.

[Yuuki really needs to snap out of what Aidou told her, though, regardless.]

[pro_defunctis]

Stupid?

[It's a side he hasn't yet seen of this man, and it draws his attention surely enough. Off doesn't even begin to describe, though the implications. . .half-pieced as his picture was of things, it was enough to start drawing lines.

Cool, collected -]

What have you gotten yourself into this time, Zero?

[bloodypawn]

[He doesn't want to deal with Sasuke right now. ...Although, he also doesn't want to deal with the current situation, as a whole.

A pointed gaze, eyes lighter than usual... almost too bright, even. They avert, however, camera shifting when he winces from a spike of pain.]

Tch...!

... This has nothing to do with you...

private;

[pro_defunctis]

[That gaze doesn't work on him. Unaffected even as he continues to stare down the device, the man on the other side.]

It was simply a question. Whether you want to suffer or not is your choice alone. I have no intention of forcing you to do anything.

private;

[bloodypawn]

[Oh, he could laugh at this.]

Go on and tell me something I'm -not already aware of, won't you, Sasuke?

[video | private]

[hawkishly]

[Very unamused. :|]

I'm assuming there's a reason you're not taking your medication. Did you run out?

[video | private]

[bloodypawn]

[Fails retainer-chan. :( ]

Obviously. [Irritated, but he isn't going to lie about it.]

No. ...It was a mistake.

[video | private]

[hawkishly]

A mistake?

[bloodypawn]

The container fell from my pocket, at work. ... I noticed only after I-

[he winces, jaw tight as he grasps at his chest. ] -got home. When I went to get them, they had been disposed of.

[a sharp, though pained laugh]. So stupid, isn't it.

[devouredtwin]

[Really? He thought you had that stuff under control here.]

Is there a problem happening, Zero?

[bloodypawn]

It's nothing to concern you.

[Meaning, he doesn't need your help for this, Ichiru...]

[devouredtwin]

Apparently it is. [Just. Frowns.]

[bloodypawn]

[No, no. Don't frown.]

It'll be taken care of.
