Chapter 6.
It's a curse day today, apparently. Thankfully, I think I've been skipped over. It's a relief that I was; I don't think I could handle a curse right now, even if it did try to lift my spirits.
I...
I'm in Kitty's flat right now. She's with Miss Shizune and I'm just... tidying up, I guess. It's a mess, ever since she was --
Thank you, Miss Tenten, for letting me come. The small weapon you lent me (I'm sorry, I can't recall the name) -- may I keep it? And Bartimaeus? I'm sorry. I couldn't find you, we had to go.
God, that was horrible. It was... I couldn't stand it. It was dark, cold, there were so many voices, and what horrified me was that we couldn't help them all. And finding Kitty was...
I was ill the moment I got back to my flat. As soon as we brought her to Miss Shizune to clean her up, I... God, the thought of that place. I don't think I can manage food at the moment. Finding Kitty was almost like... like that time before I died. Cold room, her on the ground... I thought she was dead this time. Truly dead. No coming back from the Gate. And I couldn't...
She's alive. God, but what they did to her, I don't know. She's delirious. I can't talk to her. Her hair...
I was next door to her, damn it. Why didn't I hear them come?
I'm not hungry, but I'll go out to fetch a bit of food. Maybe by the time she comes back, supper can be ready, though I'm not much of a cook.
[ooc; Nathaniel's more of a behind-the-scenes fellow, planning and strategy. Not at all the kind of person who'd run out to fight with the best of them. Regardless, he went after Kitty with Tenten, and, having not managed to figure out if he can Summon in the City or not, had to scrape by without a djinni and with the kunai she lent him; maybe a bit of sloppy punches and kicks. Needless to say, he's a poor fighter, but did manage to get by without dying. His side is stinging again (though for the most part, it's healing), and he's rather banged up and exhausted. But he won't go to bed until he's certain Kitty's alright. Gosh, what a silly boy. XD]
