022 [Semi-accidental video]

[curious_copycat]

[The feed crackles on and we have a Polly, the wall of a jail cell behind her. Just kind of. Staring. Out at you.]

[Her expression is very serious.]

[She looks away, fidgeting, then back at you, mouth half open as if she's on the verge of SAYING SOMETHING and it's VERY IMPORTANT[Aaaannnnnnd looks away again, somewhere between being angry with

[She's back in her room finally... and green again. The leftovers looked normal this time. From now on, making her own food]

All you can do is try.

[She's trying not to be too harsh, but yea...]

[Takes a breath to reply, then--green?]

[Blinks and gathers herself. This'll be a start anyway...]

I'm sorry for what I did to you.

Re: [Video]

[pishirogane]

Don't apologize. You weren't exactly yourself and... those were my own actions in the hospital.

[Let's just keep this short]

Re: [Video]

[curious_copycat]

[Little bit of a visible struggle--mostly because right now most anything she can think to say at the moment is some kind of apology.]

You're better now too, though?

...

[Okay, she's just going to ask.]

Why are you green...?

[Holmes expected this video feed to come, and so he's not quite so harsh about it as he could have been-- he's really not that harsh at all, really. Just blunt, and perhaps tactless, the way he usually is.]

You did make quite a mess of things, my dear. But the perpetrators-- all of them-- have been brought to justice, and I see no need to reopen a closed case.

[A slight tilt of his head.]

Are you feeling better?

Re: [video]

[curious_copycat]

[Tries for a smile--there was something that sounded like forgiveness, there, under the blunt.]

Yes, I'm okay.

[There are still some cuts and scrapes from the final battle that need healing, but she isn't going to complain about something she figures she deserves.]

How are you feeling?

Re: [video]

[yes_mother_hen]

[He doesn't miss the battered state that Polly seems to be in, but he politely defers from speaking about it.]

Never better. No need to worry yourself on that account-- I have seen worse.

Re: [video]

[curious_copycat]

[She gives a visible sigh of relief.]

I'm glad...

I mean... that you weren't hurt as badly as some other people were.

[It's Polly!]

[steelalchemy]

[He's been pretty worried about you, Polly.]

[steelalchemy]

Are you allowed to have visitors?

Re: [video]

[curious_copycat]

[She stares a moment, then realizes--oh, there was a question.]

I-... I think so.

[Wibbles.]

Are... Are you okay, Ed? I'm sorry I hurt you...

[umbrelladouche]

Hm.

You were a lot more interesting before.

[curious_copycat]

[She's... not sure if she should apologize for that or not...]

... It...

I guess you win the race, then.

[umbrelladouche]

Maybe so! I was interrupted when I was really getting into it, though.

Did the doctor end up finding you?

[curious_copycat]

Yeah....

Then there was a light.

I don't remember what happened, after that...

[holmes_blogger]

It may not help much, but most people know it wasn't your fault.

Re: [Video]

[curious_copycat]

Thank you, Dr. Watson.

It was, though... At least... partially.

Re: [Video]

[holmes_blogger]

Partially, yes. That's not an easy thing to live with. But it wasn't your choice.

[He has his own regrets in his past, although not quite on the same scale.]

I'm glad to see you're feeling better? [Especially considering the last time he saw her she had a hole in her forehead.]

Re: [Video]

[curious_copycat]

[She doesn't say further on that front, debating for on whether it really excused her or not.]

[She nods at the question, though. There are still some scrapes and cuts visible from her last battle--her body was too busy concentrating its regenerative capabilities on her brain to really start bothering with them until now. But otherwise...]

Much better, yes.
