*happening along, as luck would have it, a little distracted...--then*

Naru-kun...?

[koudependent]

[his head snaps up at the sound, but he lets out a breath when he sees him]

Okita-san...

[cureworsethan]

Ah...

*moves closer, taking in the scene*

[koudependent]

[rubs his forehead a bit]

I'm not sure it's safe being out here at the moment.

[cureworsethan]

I don't think you need to worry about me, between the two of us.

[koudependent]

You don't look so well, Okita-san.

[cureworsethan]

Ha... Well.

*glancing at Narushige's torn clothes and the little bit of blood on him--luckily none of it's fresh, at least*

That's two of us.

[koudependent]

[looks down at himself, and closes his eyes, taking a breath] I'm not hurt. [anymore]

What happened to you?

[cureworsethan]

Just a little under the weather.

You?

[koudependent]

[isn't going to pry]

There was something... out here. Someone turned into a monster.

[cureworsethan]

*that's worrisome, especially considering*

...Anyone you know?

[koudependent]

No, I don't think so. It was a girl.

[cureworsethan]

*hmmm, still considering*

A vampire...?

[koudependent]

[has been using the library so knows about those now]

No. Something... it looked like she was infected by a plant. I... it's so surreal to me, because plants don't do that. Not where I come from.

[cureworsethan]

I hadn't heard about that.

*closes his eyes*

You weren't hurt... No, you were bleeding before. So...

[koudependent]

Okita-san...?
