[It had been nearly a week since he was killed. The entire time, Kanda had stayed in his room in the Southwest to rest. He hadn't left the room until today. And today? He was in one of the infirmaries, looking for bandages

[B| So unhappy with you. Or. Will be.

Right now she's slipping out one of the back doors in the infirmary, one of her weekly appointments. The familiar fluttering catches her ear and she looks over.]

Kanda...?

[Walking over with a worried expression on her face, forgetting completely that they're on uneven ground at the moment. Her first concern is her brother. 'Tias puts her hand against his cheek to check his temperature, his complexion worrying her more.]

You should be in bed, not out and about looking like the plague! [You're just as bad as Tyki. B|]

[stainedlotus]

[Glancing over at his name, freezing a little. He hadn't seen Mattias in...almost a month, was it? Definitely a bad time to be running into her.

And heey. ...Okay so he and Tyki have that in common too. Just don't tell him he slipped away from the courtyard 8|

Brb, resuming search.] I'm fine, 'Tias.

[themisnamed]

[Not to her, to Mattias it's the perfect time. Especially when you're being stubborn like this.

...Yeah, best be careful she doesn't shove you in the same apartment-room that she put Tyki in.

Reaches out and grabs his wrist, moving in front of him and giving him a stern look.]

No, you're not. Especially if you're calling me "'Tias". ["Mattias" is all she normally hears out of you. So she's pulling him toward one of the beds, putting just enough pressure on his shoulders to make him sit on it.]

Shirt off, now.

[stainedlotus]

[...Sitting! Then hesitating before bringing his bandaged hands up to unbutton his shirt. Still hurts a little, but oh well. When the shirt's finally off, she'll find his chest is bandaged up too.

Tease'll just come over and nest on his head.]

[thewrongname]

[Now is not the time to be flustered, it's the last thing on her mind. She looks him over and then goes to the cabinets herself, correctly picking the right one to pull a heavy-duty first-aid kit out of, carrying it over to the bed as her own Tease joins Kanda's.

All the while she's muttering about the stupidity of men. :| Once the kit is on the floor beside the bed she starts checking over which one of his need to be changed.]

I know you won't tell me what happened, so a'least tell me what's hurt.

[stainedlotus]

...Just my hands and chest. [His neck's still a little stiff, but that's mostly healed now.]

[thewrongname]

[She sighs and starts working on replacing bandages that need replacing, strangely no longer shy around exposed male skin, or touching it. 'Tias checks his hands as well and when she's done with everything, checks his forehead once more for a temperature.]

Ya need to be laying down and resting, Kanda...

[Leans her forehead against his.] Please?

[stainedlotus]

[Probably won't help that the injuries on his hands match Tyki's either. Not that he knows that yet, but 'Tias might notice.]

...Fine, but not here.

[themisnamed]

[She did, having bandaged the Noah's hands twice. 'Tias nods and puts everything away, though she leaves his mess alone.] Put your shirt back on then.

[Afterward Mattias moves to help him to his feet, picking his less injured side as she slips his arm over her shoulder, her own around his waist.]

C'mon, I'll take you to my room. [Her new one. :|a Another apartment-room.]

[stainedlotus]

[He'll carry himself mostly, doesn't want to make 'Tias do too much while still carrying the bbs.

Just gives a nod.]

[thewrongname]

[She's only a few months into it, she can still handle her own. Taking him down the hall and glancing up as she hears the flutter of wings and bites back a giggle. Her own Tease has picked up a strand of Kanda's hair and is flying with it as if that'll help.]

[stainedlotus]

[Glances back when he feels the tug.] Heh...

[thewrongname]

[Ducks her head down a little, still smiling.] We're not that far away from it, Tease.

[In fact she stops at door a few more feet down the hall, opening it to reveal a room set up like a one story house for two with a spare room.]

It'll be nice to have some company for a change.

[stainedlotus]

...You live here by yourself?

[themisnamed]

Yes 'nd no... [She'll explain later. Right now she's more concerned with getting you into the guest room, mister.]

You hungry? Thirsty?

[stainedlotus]

Just tired.
