[ Night // Accidental Video (meant just to be TENEKA) ]

[rustigedraak]

[ Ladon has returned from his week-long comatose state, but he's looking more like he spent the past week in some place much less pleasant than bed. In fact, he looks like he hasn't slept at all in a few days-- he's drawn out, pale, with dark circles under his eyes. His hands shake a little as he lifts a cigarette to his lips. He's still sitting in

Ladon-san! I thought...

Welcome back. Um, things have been...quiet, for the most part.

[rustigedraak]

[ He sighs, pauses to tap the ash off his cigarette. ]

No one's runnin' 'round all goofed up on love spells? Good.

[itaidakimasu]

...I've been trying to forget that.

[rustigedraak]

[ Ladon's protective tendencies are on high alert, what with the situation with his real little brother. Foster little sisters like Yako get swept into this, unfortunately. Thus why he visibly prickles. ]

Yeah? I needa go teach that one-eyed sonuvabitch a lesson?

[itaidakimasu]

{And she responds much like a little sister. There's a long silence and then a strange mental spasm--the equivalent of an embarrassed shriek.}

OhmyGod WHY DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT.

[rustigedraak]

[ He winces a little at that mental shriek. ]

Weren't exactly bein' all on the low 'bout it, kid. Saw you two while I was out havin' a smoke.

Didn't try anythin' you didn't want him tryin', did he?

[itaidakimasu]

You s...oh my God.

U-Um...how to put this...

[rustigedraak]

What'd he do-- Y'know, actually, just point me in his direction, yeah?

[ Because fellas are always the ones at fault, and dames are always the victims, and if a fella knows a dame who's got trouble with a fella, it's his responsibility to do something.

Or something. ]

[itaidakimasu]

L-Ladon-san, I'm telling you it's not like that!

It wasn't his fault; he didn't do anything or f-force me to...

[rustigedraak]

[ He frowns at that, worries his chin before shaking his head. ] Better not've. Was easy t'see you weren't actin' yourself. Better not've taken advantage of that, yeah?

[itaidakimasu]

{All he gets is a small whimper. She does not want to talk about this.}

[rustigedraak]

[ And that just makes him all the more concerned. ] Kid. S'all right, yeah? M'gonna make sure he don't do it 'gain.

[itaidakimasu]

Ladon-san, please. It's over and done with, and...and he probably regrets it.

[rustigedraak]

Could make sure he does.

[itaidakimasu]

Look, I-I was the one who started it, okay? He just...responded.

[rustigedraak]

Shouldn'ta even done that. Takin' advantage of a dame who ain't herself s'just low. Lower'n low.
