［０３］ She was afraid to come out in the open...

[thewrongname]

[She had heard the door of the apartment open and shut but with her hands preoccupied with the dinner for that evening 'Tias was unable to do more than say "Dinner's almost ready!" and she heard one of the other doors shut with no more than an unidentifiable grunt. She pouted and glanced at it over her shoulder but went back to the cooking

[Kanda tried to stay as quiet as he could, though it was hard to even get around with his ribs as damaged as they were. He was glad that Tyki was gone, for once, and half-stumbled into the connected bathroom.

Sorry, 'Tias, but he won't be answering the door until he can get a couple a few several pain meds into him. Then he'll stumble back to the bed and just. fall on it, mostly.]

Not hungry, 'Tias. [A little strained, and here's hoping she won't notice.]

[You know that if the door is unlocked she'll come in anyway. Which she does, quietly, and slips over to the bed to sit beside his body, placing a hand on his arm/back (depends on if he's laying face up or down) and frowning in a way that looks quite put out.]

Are you sure? It's one of your favorites. [Or at least what Kanda had said he liked when she asked how the meal was.] Is everythin alright? You look rather pale.

I'm sure. [Just gonna attempt to turn himself over, since he landed face-first on the bed. Or, well, try to, anyway. And hide the pain from his face.] I'm fine, just a little tired.

[...Dammit, there's no pain-free way to breath like this. :T]

[thewrongname]

[Moving to help him when it looks like he's having difficulties, frowning in that mother-hen way.] You don't sound tired, ya sound hurt.

[brb - yanking shirt up while Kanda is concentrating on breathing. And just gasps.] Kanda! What happened?! You tell me right now! You were almost healed!
