[[Kraehe leans against the wall for support, looking rather pale and almost malnourished. She takes a deep breath.

Won't someone come to kill her?]]

Comments

[karasunotennou]

[[He's been observing her from the window of his room for some time, trying to guess which Kraehe it is that he's watching. His stomach turns when he realizes it's none other than his ever so endearing roommate, and nearly falls down the stairs in his haste to reach her. He's pretty winded by the time he reaches her, but he manages to gasp out between breaths anyways:]]

Who.. who did this to you?

[rue_is_dead]

[[She raises an eyebrow at his almost panicked appearance. What's with him?]]

...Did what?

[karasunotennou]

[[He gestures in her general direction.]]

This! You look dreadful...

[rue_is_dead]

...What else is new?

[[She leans against the wall, sighing.]]

No one did anything to me unfortunately.

[karasunotennou]

[[He reaches out to touch her shoulder, but quickly thinks the better of it, nibbling anxiously on his cuticles instead.]]

Then why don't we go inside and you can tell me what the matter is? I don't think you should be out in your condition.

[rue_is_dead]

[[She turns away, scowling.]]

I'm fine out here.

[karasunotennou]

No, you look like you're about to collapse at any moment.

[[Without some much as a warning, he slips an arm around her waist and knees and picks her cradling her in his arms.]]

[rue_is_dead]

[[She almost yelps in surprise, and stuggles against him, kicking her legs frantically and pushing away with her arms.]]

U-Unhand me, you ape! I'm perfectly all right!

[karasunotennou]

[[This is all too familiar to him, having had to wrangle his sister enough times at home, and he does his best to ignore the many bruises he's going to wind up with. He holds on to her that much tighter, marching into the house.]]

[rue_is_dead]

[[She continues to move around, reaching up to possibly yank on his hair.]]

I said, let GO!

[karasunotennou]

[[He grits his teeth to avoid crying out when a set of slender white fingers grab hold of a hank of his hair. He unceremoniously dumps her on the overstuffed sofa in the house's parlor, glaring down at her authoritatively.]]

Stay here. I'm putting on a pot of tea, and we'll sort this out then.

[rue_is_dead]

[[She scowls, but lacks the energy to disobey him.]]

...Fine.

[karasunotennou]

[[Some muffled swearing is heard from the kitchen as he manages to burn himself several times during the simple task of boiling water, but he prevails in the end, emerging holding a tray with a rather plain looking tea set. He sets the tray down in front of her, pouring a cup for her, then himself.]]

...Well?

[rue_is_dead]

[[Kraehe glares at the cup of tea before her, not moving. Instead, she folds her arms and looks away.]]

Well what?

[karasunotennou]

[[He sips delicately from his cup, his extended pinky betraying years of etiquette training.]]

Not to be crude my dear, but you look like you may faint if I leave you alone. Why would that be?

[rue_is_dead]

[[She leans back against the sofa, scowling.]]

I'm just a bit under the weather.
