[Mitsuru is keeping Kensei company at the hospital to speculate about the identity of his attacker, anyone's free to visit Kensei and help in the speculation, so expect threadhopping from both Mitsuru and Kensei \o\;;]

It's been a week. Does your side of the network have any leads concerning the owner of this card yet?

[ he looks absolutely pitiful. pouting, pajama'd up(being a Nanjou facility, he of course requested his own pajamas. starch white with silk blue trim, and the family crest as i assume they'd have one on the single chest pocket.) his hair has grown out just the tiniest bit, revealing a little brown at the roots. do not mention a word. ]

Bits and pieces. They've forwarded your corporation's scientists the big stuff, but they're still working as far as I know.

[kirijou]

[nods] What about you though? Do you have any personal speculations?

[heeled]

.. I'm sure you can guess. Our pal the Joker is likely to have his fingers in many pies, as the old saying goes--I hope you're taking care of yourself, because the closer you get to solving this, the closer you'll get to being in the same position as me.

[ a pause, and a frown. ]

As such, I'd like you to allow Hari and Hara to accompany you on any major excursions. [ an awkward sideglance, and feigned cough. ] .. J- just so you won't be stuck here too, I mean.

[kirijou]

[a bit surprised here because are her ears fooling her or is Kensei actually expressing concern? Anyway! A raised eyebrow and also a feigned cough to hide a small amused grin]

Thank you...I suppose. But if possible, I'd like to wait for you to recover. Since, this did begin as a collaborative effort between us.

[heeled]

.. So kind of the Princess to wait for the Baron.

[kirijou]

Then the Baron shouldn't make the Princess wait so long and be quick to recover, yes?

[heeled]

But what incentive do I have if I know you'll wait by my bedside?

[kirijou]

Funny. If you could still make a joke, then I'm sure you'll be better in no time.

[heeled]

.. And who said I was joking?

[kirijou]

...it sounded like one to me?

[heeled]

You're breaking my oh-so-fragile heart, Princess. You never did allow me to make that Christmas gift up to you.

[kirijou]

...and to think that I was just about to forget about your christmas gift. Please remind me to properly thank you for it when everything is over.

[heeled]

.. You're just going to put me back in here, aren't you?
