[teh_sword]

[There's a little bit of shouting here, as the phones have been busy with important messages but Ren is fairly certain he needs an answer about this.]

Hey! Hey!!I know everyone's busy, but-- but does any one know if the whole box top thing is still... I know people got hurt real bad giving things up for it, but if things are going the way they're

You're a friend of Aisling?

[teh_sword]

...yeah. Yeah, sorta. We hang out at the park together sometimes. You know her?

[not_oflegend]

She lives in the same house as me.

[teh_sword]

She's safe?

[not_oflegend]

As safe as she can be here. I'm keeping everyone in my house close together.

[teh_sword]

...thank you.

[not_oflegend]

There's no need to thank me. I'm doing it because she's my friend too.

You be careful too. It won't do her any good to be safe, and hear her friend got hurt.

[teh_sword]

Helps knowing someone's looking out for her, though. And that people are with their friends at a time like this.

[The slightest of sighs.] Gonna do my best.

[not_oflegend]

If you want, we're going to the hospital. Another girl from our house is there. You can join us there.

[teh_sword]

...I have something I need t' do first.

[not_oflegend]

Alright. Be careful, then.

[teh_sword]

Try to be. You too-- ah, what's your name?

[not_oflegend]

Alice Hamilton.

What's yours?

[teh_sword]

Ren. Ren Kimura. The hospital's gonna be a good place to stay, you think?
