[Lenalee is sitting at the counter of a drugstore soda fountain, dressed in a white button-up blouse, with a small silk scarf tied around her neck. Though you can't see below the edge of the counter, she's wearing a mid-calf length full skirt girt at the waist with a wide belt. She looks at the camera with a slightly amused expression.]

Lenalee? What are you wearing?

Re: [Video]

[feistyflowright]

...I'll tell you when you arrive.

[and there's the strawberry milkshake which she ordered for him]

[which means she's going to be on her way over]

All right. I'll see you soon.

[Well, he'll be in his bed, same as always. He'll just be waiting patiently for her.]

[And about fifteen minutes later there's a Lenalee with a strawberry milkshake in hand being shown to Fai's room by a nurse.]

[Once the nurse leaves, the polite smile she was wearing turns into a small, but concerned frown.]

[She puts the milkshake on the table where Fai can reach it.]

Re: [Action]

[feistyflowright]

[Fai will give her a weak smile, and shake his head a little.]

Please don't give me that look, Lenalee...

[Her expression softens a little, though not much.]

I don't like it when you get hurt.

Re: [Action]

[feistyflowright]

I know... But, it's something I need to atone for.

Re: [Action]

[crystal_type]

That doesn't mean you should get hurt!

Re: [Action]

[feistyflowright]

There's nothing to say I'll be hurt for sure, but it's entirely up to Yukari-sama.

Re: [Action]

[crystal_type]

But you think you might.

Who's Yukari-sama?

Re: [Action]

[feistyflowright]

Let's just say... I've got a feeling she won't be so lenient as to simply use words.

She is the mistress of my wife-to-be.

Re: [Action]

[crystal_type]

Of Miss Ran?

[considering how upset she'd felt when Fai vanished and then reappeared, Fai's fiancée must have felt much worse...]

Re: [Action]

[feistyflowright]

Mm. Yes.

[He smiles softly, nodding slowly. It seemed... her name alone was painful to say. He loved Ran... but he hated how much he had hurt her.]

For hurting her, Yukari-sama has seen it fit to punish me... and I am willing to accept this.

Re: [Action]

[crystal_type]

And hurting you again wouldn't hurt Miss Ran even more?

She has every right to be cross with you--

You just... disappeared with no warning or explanation! It's bad enough when someone get wormholed, but you, you left after saying you wouldn't leave.

--but that's not reason at all to possibly injure you!

[:| *cough* yeah she's been holding things in a little]

Re: [Action]

[feistyflowright]

[He winces at those words... and reaches a hand forward, touching her cheek lightly.]

I know... I know my mistake. And I am sorry, Lenalee... I really am. I will make up for it a thousandfold for all those I've hurt...

But, Yukari-sama's decision is final... Once I've healed, she will punish me for my stupidity.

If you wish to do the same... then I will allow it, Lenalee...
