[ Hibari's gotten his tonfa back and he is very, very pleased with that. Despite having bandages wrapped across his left arm and ankle as well as on the right side of his head, he's made it his top priority to test out his weapons and make sure they're exactly as they should be. So, outside his house on Cunningham Lane, Hibari can be found testing

[She pauses to watch, interested and curious, but she grows worried when she notices the blood]

Excuse me... Hibari?

[kuichigiru]

... What is it?

[kindlichekaiser]

[She gestures towards the side of his head] You're bleeding--Let me bandage it better for you. Otherwise you'll pass out from blood loss...

[Look how concerned about you she is Hibari. How can you resist?]

[kuichigiru]

... Fine. If you want to. [ This is as close as Hibari can get to polite, really. ]

There's a first-aid kit in the house, if that's needed.

dude get on aim like nooowww

[kindlichekaiser]

[If he's paying any attention he'll notice that Empress' hair is like, three feet shorter than the last time they spoke. While it was down to her thighs, it's not up to her shoulders. And looks like it's been chopped with an axe.

She doens't seem to mind it though, and there's an amulet hanging around her neck. She runs inside to grab the first aid kit and hurries back out] I'll try to be quick about it, so you can go back to... um, training.

[kuichigiru]

Take your time, I'm not in a hurry. [ He sits himself down on the lawn so he's closer to her height, folding his arms and closing his eyes. It looks almost like he's trying to sleep this off. ]

[kindlichekaiser]

[She nods and works quietly, pulling away the bloody bandages and-- oh god that's a lot of blood. She feels momentarily sick, but something tells her that vomiting on Hibari would end badly.

She swallows hard and squares her tiny shoulders, grabbing the bandages and beginning her work. She's no nurse or doctor, but she knows she has to make it tight and stop the bleeding.] If I hurt you, please let m know.

[Which is almost laughable considering how much pain she imagines he's got to be in and he's just shrugging it off skjg]

[kuichigiru]

[ He nods just a fraction to let her know he's heard. As she works, he is quiet, and if it's painful, he isn't showing it at all. The only time he moves is to brush a bit of hair out of his eyes. He seems positively unbothered by all of it, and fairly patient with the bandaging process. He realizes, at least, that he'll have to fix himself up somehow if he plans on living for much longer.

It's not so bad, really. He just doesn't like having others help him, so he'll have to find a way to discreetly return the favor at some point. ]

[kindlichekaiser]

[You can repay her by beating up Mukuro after he kidnaps her. She finishes not too long after and steps back, looking worried]

How does it feel?

[kuichigiru]

[ He'd do that anyways. Or at least, try. ]

It feels fine. [ He touches the bandaging lightly -- the bleeding is definitely slowing, it seems. He's quiet for a few moments, then: ] Was it too much trouble?

[kindlichekaiser]

[She moves to kneel in front of him] No, it wasn't. I seem to be making it a habit to bandage people. I don't mind.

[she smiles lightly] I like being useful.

[kuichigiru]

[ He changes his opinion of her somewhat: an herbivore, but acceptable, and can make herself useful. That's already better than most people. ]

You aren't a nurse, are you?

[kindlichekaiser]

[She shakes her head, looking sheepish] I'm not. I'm an empress. [or a goddess, depending on who you ask]

Normally I could heal wounds easily, but... Mayfield took my power from me.

[kuichigiru]

[ He's interested now. ] What kind of power?

[kindlichekaiser]

I can grant wishes, with no limitations except for those I put on myself.

[She tilts her head slightly] I can bring people back from the dead, and I can rebuild entire worlds. Did you have a wish?

[kuichigiru]

If I had a wish, it would be to bite that Rokudo Mukuro to death.

[ ... ] But, I don't need a wish to do that. I'll do it on my own terms.
