Kaoru 5 [Action, Audio, Accidental Video?]

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[This is not the usual polished-and-put-together Kaoru that you know and love - nearly two months in the catacombs will do that to a person. His hair's grown longer than usual, his clothes are spattered and in some places saturated with red from slipping into the river a few too many times. And he's limping. He twisted his ankle somewhere along the

{{stares. for a moment, he's taken aback... and then he's almost his usual self.}} Kaoru?

[equally startled - shit, when did that happen?]

Ah... senpai.

[ko1122]

{{his voice is almost clinical now - that was a lapse in his composure that won't happen again}} You're injured.

-Go to the clinic.

[sighs, rubbing one eye with the heel of his hand]

You can see this, right? I'd rather clean up first. [and sleep. And just generally not go]

[ko1122]

I don't want to go. I'm going home.

[ko1122]

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[starts to protest] It's not that bad...

[...but acquiesces finally] ...all right.

[ko1122]

{{slowly}} Kaoru. You have been gone for two months. You can’t not have any injuries.

I'll be waiting.
