[You enter a room. At least what you thought was a room.

[Doesn't care that he's slowly recovering from both his fights. Kanda's rushing over to get a stupid rabbit out of the river.]

Lavi!

[stainedlotus]

...I did. [Gives a weak smile. He's happy to see that you're relatively safe, Lavi.]

I'm glad to see you're safe, at least, Lavi.

[halfamemory]

[Slowly he sits on the beam, looking at Kanda as he hugs it.]

You shouldn't have died for him.

[stainedlotus]

It wasn't just for him. A Tyki I'm close friends with was killed, too.

[halfamemory]

Yu still didn't have to die!

[stainedlotus]

I didn't want to, Lavi. I'll be fine now, though.

[halfamemory]

You're still hurt.

[stainedlotus]

I'll heal.

[halfamemory]

At what cost?! [He remembers how far the tattoo has grown from brief rummaging in Joyd's memories.]

[stainedlotus]

[Doesn't say anything to that, just... Okay, he has to sit down, so just. looking for some place he can do that.

Finally, after a while:] I'll be fine.

[halfamemory]

[There's some rocks near the bridge base that Lavi climbed up.]

It's too big already, Yu.

[stainedlotus]

[Sees them and walks over to them, sitting down and leaning against one.]

...I know.

[halfamemory]

[Give Lavi long enough and he'll drop down beside Kanda, sitting on the ground beside him but noticeably it's on the side away from Mugen.]

[stainedlotus]

[Glances over when Lavi sits next to him.]

What...did the Fourteenth do to you, Lavi?

[halfamemory]

[The once confident redhead is huddled beside him, hugging his knees to his chest and shakes his head.]

I don't want to talk about it.

[stainedlotus]

You don't have to. [Doesn't really blame him either.]
