41 [Accidental Video]

[The PCD turns on to show Rei in the clinic, sleeping more or less peacefully, her breathing slow and even. If you look carefully, you can see hints of bandages and injury, but most of her is wrapped soundly in a blanket ( Read more... )

[Oh, look. You have a visitor. He's not making any noise though. He's just sitting in a chair right next to the door, long sleeves and baggy jeans helping to hide whatever he thinks he should hide.]

[That isn't a visitor, Hitsugaya, that feels more like a guard.

So she'll open an eye after a minute or two to squint at him once she feels him sitting there.]

Shouldn't you be in a bed?

[offline] iceandivory February 9 2011, 05:45:54 UTC

[If it were a guard, Lucifer nor Szayel would have made it inside.]

Probably.

[He snorts softly. He's been in bed long enough.]

[Szayel didn't show up just to freak her out, to his credit.

She knows perfectly well what his answer is going to be, but Rei has to ask anyway:]

Are you okay?

[offline] iceandivory February 9 2011, 05:57:13 UTC

Of course.

[And there's the answer she knew she'd hear.]

I'm more concerned about you.

It was just a dinosaur.

[And there is a dismissive wave. Actually reaching the Inner-Inner City and feeling that force, seeing things, was the painful part. Being ambushed by dinosaurs is the easy piece to get over.]

[offline] iceandivory February 9 2011, 06:15:07 UTC

[He is allowed to be concerned about her mental health too, you know.]

I wasn't worried about the dinosaurs.

[It would hardly be fair to dismiss him when the roles have been reversed so many times. Her expression is unreadable for a long moment, the bubble equally so, before she sighs to herself, twisting herself slightly to look at him directly.]

The entire city felt wrong, like it was trying to swallow us whole. When we got to the center, I thought I wasn't going to be able to leave.

[Hitsugaya's bubble is surprisingly devoid of anything at all, has been since he entered the room.]

I was there too, you realize.

[A double meaning. He wasn't in there as long as her and Ulquiorra, granted, but she certainly doesn't need to describe the feeling. She also should know by now that the very reason he and Tsukino were there was to make sure they were able to leave.]

[offline] marsfireignite February 9 2011, 06:33:28 UTC

I know. I would be dead without you.

[Very simply, as if talking about the weather. The bubble quivers ever so slightly -- dipping as if sighing in relief or bowing in gratitude. There is no emoticon or helpful hint -- simply actions.]

[offline] iceandivory February 9 2011, 06:40:10 UTC

Someone would have discovered what was going on. You wouldn't have died.

[It's flat, much like everything else he's said thus far. Too flat, really, to be unintentional.]

[offline] marsfireignite February 9 2011, 06:42:24 UTC

[She watches him for a long moment, frowning ever so slightly. This isn't right. If there is one thing Hitsugaya is terrible at (well, at least whenever she's around), it's controlling his emotion. And lying. He's pretty terrible at lying, too.

With the event, he should be even more of an open book than he already is. But he's purposefully locking it away.

She gestures slightly for him to pull the chair closer.]

What's wrong, Toushirou?

[offline] iceandivory February 9 2011, 06:49:46 UTC

It's "wrong" to not want to display my innermost thoughts for all to see?

[A brow raise. He's not moving yet.]

[offline] marsfireignite February 9 2011, 06:53:52 UTC

[If there were a word inside her bubble, it would read 'smartass'.]

I don't see everyone in this room, just me.

[A quiet pause as she fiddles with her PCD before she looks up again.]

Rhode came back.

[He knows. She knows he does -- he probably watched the entire post like a hawk, but Rei wants to know what's bothering him. Start with the most obvious and work your way down.]

[offline] iceandivory February 9 2011, 07:06:34 UTC

[A single, dark, animated, squiggle erupts within that stupid bubble over Hitsugaya's head. Two seconds and a deep breath later, it's gone.]

She did. She won't remember me. It's not a problem.

[Blatant lie. Sasuke has taken the chance to speak with her both times she's addressed the network.]

[offline] marsfireignite February 9 2011, 07:08:55 UTC

She doesn't remember you, but you remember her.

[Just a quiet observation. She knows full well that he's lying and why he's lying. They're getting somewhere. Sort of.]
