[ When the feed turns on, it's probably because Ella had, in her haste, thrown it onto the floor in her house. There's an odd angle, but the -SLAM- of a door and growl of some creature on the other side was unmistakeable. Ella's breathing is ragged as if she'd run for miles. What is visible of her are her legs and the lower half of a white cloak

Reaction 1/2

[icy_heavens]

[... The hell is going on? That situation is dangerous.]

Action 2/2

[icy_heavens]

[He doesn't waste time trying to call. He's immediately on his way, and blade in hand the whole way. The last time he'd seen something similar to this on the NV . . . was nearly a year ago. And he'd been too late.

[He is not letting that happen again.]

Action

[of_frell]

[ Fortunately things work out a bit better this time at least? WHen he reaches Ella's house he'll find that the lock isn't just unlocked, it was broken. Also, the sound of something large and expensive is heard being broken - probably over someone's head. YAY. ]

Action

[icy_heavens]

[Well he's a lot closer this time. And he only takes the most cursory notice of the broken lock as he hears that shattering sound and continues inside with shunpo. There'll be time for that later, hopefully.]

[A quick mutter of a kidou, and a bluish ball of flame rests over his free palm, illuminating the darkened room. And poised to be fired at any intruder.] Ella!

[ibreakrules]

Ella?!

[That's not good. Not good at all. He has no idea where she is though, so he can't help unless she tells him.]

[ Voice-Video ]

[of_frell]

[ Ella is probably audile grumbling at the would be thief when she turns the NV back on. ]

You know the house is supposed to be the safest place in the port and you have to go an-- Frau?

[ Video ]

[ibreakrules]

Are you alright?

[He doesn't look happy. He might even look a bit dangerous, though it's not directed at Ella.]

[ Video ]

[of_frell]

[ She hesitates at the look on Frau's face, but nods, quick to reassure. ]

I'm fine, Frau. The police should be coming shortly.

[quackery]

Ella? Are you alright? What happened?

[ Video ]

[of_frell]

[ Almost twenty minutes later, but! ]

I'm okay Ahiru... it was just some thief looking to make a quick buck, I guess.

[quackery]

Did you call the police?

[of_frell]

Not yet - but Hitsugaya's here.

[Voice]

[boundbytreason]

[ Looking over the others' responses, Caster can see that Ella is fine by now. However, it doesn't keep her from answering with no small amount of concern that rung vibrantly within her voice. ]

Is everything all right, Ella? [ She may as well start this off properly, even though she anticipated a similar response to the one given to Ahiru. ]

[Voice]

[of_frell]

[ There's a faint sigh, though it's not directed at Caster. ]

Huh? Oh - yeah everything is fine. I have to replace the lock on my door and maybe get a second door on my bedroom door for Kyra.

[Voice]

[boundbytreason]

[ A hint of relief colors her voice. ]

I see.

[ Then, she switches the feed to Private. ]

And how are you feeling?

[Voice/Private]

[of_frell]

...? Tired from my run, but otherwise fine.

[Unfortunately, Byakuya had chosen tonight to go out and have a look around Sector Ten. It was time for those with money in the city to take care of those that didn't. He could feel Hitsugaya's battle fluctuating reiatsu. Meaning that she would be fine.

But he still has to check!]

Ella-san?

[Video]

[of_frell]

[ And when she responds, she's tucked on the couch with Kyra sitting in front of her with her head on the couch cushion. Ella absently scritches the puppy behind the ears ]

Everything's okay now, Byakuya.

[Video]

[soul_scatter]

Hitsugaya-taichou handled it.

[More of a question than a statement.]

[Video]

[of_frell]

Right. HOw did you know? - Did he tell you?

[ THough she personally believes she could have handled it even if Hitsugaya hadn't shown up - but that he had was very lucky. ]
