[screwthegods]

To those in residence with Okita Souji:

He was involved in the battles yesterday with the woman who attacked the village. He was injured, but not killed. He simply wishes to remain in the clinic for the time being, because of his wounds. I'm passing along this message so you won't worry--or so Okita hopes.

Homura

[So she doesn't worry? Doesn't worry? Right.

Only an instant after she hears the message Ayumu is out the door and on her way to the battle dome, and she'll be there soon enough in search of the pair of them.]

[action]

[screwthegods]

[Homura already knows that not worrying is impossible, at least for one of the people he's contacted. Still, he's not expecting her to show up in person, at least without a reply over the journals first.

Oh, and Homura didn't mention that he'd been injured as well. Oops.]

[action]

[ahappylie]

[Oh dear. Okita looks up when someone enters the room and looks between her and Homura. Awkward times are awkward and he can't even excuse himself to another place.]

[action]

[cookingninja]

[Ayumu will just stop in the doorway, hands on hips as she looks from one of them to the other, her face entirely (and possibly dangerously) expressionless.]

So I'm not supposed to worry, then?

[beholdmyscar]

He got himself...

That idiot. He coulda called us.

voice;

[screwthegods]

He could have, and you might all be in the same condition, or worse.

voice;

[beholdmyscar]

Or we might not. He knows he's not the only one of us here. We're a unit; we stick together.

Re: voice;

[screwthegods]

A unit of mortals. What attacked the village was beyond your power, even as a team.

The damage has been done. I suggest you accept that fact and move on.

action for Homura

[ahappylie]

[In bed, Okita is still having a hard time breathing and is still generally ass-kicked backwards, but he tries to smile for his friend.]

...Thank you.

Re: action for Homura

[screwthegods]

You're welcome.

But you realize that it won't work to make them worry less.

Re: action for Homura

[ahappylie]

I was-- [He turns his head away and coughs.] -hoping you wouldn't tell them where I was, but it's too late now.

[screwthegods]

It wouldn't have been difficult for them to figure out. [Certainly not for Ayumu, who knows exactly where Homura lives.]

That cough isn't due to your injuries, is it?

[boomchucka]

Get well soon, Souji!

[ahappylie]

Thank you, Selphie-san. I should soon enough.

[boomchucka]

Make sure to get lots of rest.

[ahappylie]

I don't think I can do much of anything else with all the people hovering.

[Lina has been around and about the Battle Dome for a while, now, using enough healing magic that her hair is starting to go orange again.

She'd left just briefly to get some food when Homura's message go out. Kicking herself for missing the Japanese man, Lina immediately makes a beeline back for the Battle Dome.

...well, first she stops to pick up a fruit basket from the store, which so helpfully provides one.]

[Action]

[screwthegods]

[The woman who comes by is one Homura's never met. He eyes her, then her basket briefly, before turning to Okita.]

A friend of yours?

Re: [Action]

[lina_revolution]

Of course! [Lina hefts the basket.] See? Present.

I'm running a bit low on juice at the moment, so you might have to make do with this until I can smack a healing spell on ya.

Re: [Action]

[ahappylie]

[He smiles at Lina's offering.]

Lina-san, this is Homura-san. Homura-san, Lina-san.

I'm sorry to make you come all the way here, but thank you.
