[The video clicks on, but at first there’s nothing to see, only the rustling of fabric suggesting that what is being "filmed" is the inside of a pocket.
Then, a man’s voice, loud and somewhat annoyed. And, if one listens carefully, there’s something else too--breathing that’s just slightly uneven, as of someone who’s tired, or perhaps in pain.]

Sure, he didn't know any of those people or what a 'Hero TV' thing was but the guy's state was pretty bad off and he couldn't turn away from that kinda thing, a look of concern clear on his face with the evident surprise as well]
This isn't a kidnapping.
Where you are is this place called Kannagara. If you can stay there I think I could come get you.
You really don't look too good.

Aa, m'fine, m'fine.
[Just ignore the part where he's breathing hard and still clutching his side.]
Kannagara...I've never heard of it. [Which. Is kind of disturbing but if it's really not a kidnapping then maybe he can figure it out once he gets back.]
Do you--nngh...--know where a train station is? Or an airport? There's somewhere...I've gotta get back to.

[There's a no nonsensical tone to his voice and he looks none-too-happy, but definitely concerned for the guy's well-being.
A sigh follows that and Rin huffs a bit and he runs a hand through his hair. There's no easy way to explain this stuff but he'll do it.]
There isn't any of that stuff here, or even a way out for that matter. You won't like it when I say this.... but you're stuck here until the gods that brought you here send ya back. I know it sounds all crazy but it's true.

Oh, this...I, ah, just. Fell, is all. Some of the flowers here have sharp thorns, aheh...
[...Wow that lie was pathetic. Kotetsu is just going to try to stand up now to cover that up.]
See, just fi--

Which is why Yuui sighs, then pulls up the video to answer in kind, a small, friendly smile curving his lips.]
Excuse me, sir? Are you alright? You seem like you could use medical treatment and while Himorogi does have healing properties, they work kind of slow...
Reply
And another one asking him if he's all right. Kotetsu grins awkwardly, scratching at the back of his neck. He must really look awful, doesn't he?]
I'll be alright. [A bit of a smile in return, even if it's a little pained.]
...I'd be better if I could find a town or something. My cell doesn't seem to have any reception in this forest and I've got a few people I need to contact.
[A small sigh.]
Are you going to say there's no way out of here, too?

Yuui! Yuui Yuui!
[Kotetsu can probably hear the running feet on hardwood floor and the shouting child from Fai's end. He can probably even see that there's a small blond boy running wildly up to his conversational partner, waving a hitomi around like it's the next great scientific discovery- or that it's showing the video Kotetsu just broadcast.]
Yuui, look he's- [He notices that Yuui is talking with Kotetsu, and turns quite pink.] Oh.
[And only now does he add his own video to the proper transmission. He looks like he's about six, maybe seven, and ridiculously precocious with big blue eyes and not nearly enough meat on his bones.]
Don't worry! We'll come help you! Right, Yuui?
Reply
[There's a definite note of indulgent amusement in his voice as Yuui smiles at his brother, a perfect miniature of himself. He reaches out to ruffle his twin's hair then nods towards the door.]
Now go get your shoes, okay?
[He doesn't wait for a reply before turning back to the Hitomi with a smile still gracing his lips.]
Seems we're coming to help you, so please stay where you are. Himorogi, the area near that great tree, is a safe place, so you'll be fine. We'll be there momentarily, alright Mister...?

He was poking at the Hitomi during a random moment of wakefulness. Jason didn't nag at him to rest as long as he was lying down, and he was resting, so he didn't know what the other man was complaining about anyway. Besides, getting out from under the blankets left him shivering almost immediately.
Once he found this particular entry it took him a moment to really understand what was going on, the downside of browsing the Hitomi with a high fever. But once he had figured it out...]
That looks like a nasty wound. [His voice is hoarse from coughing.] Should get it looked at.

If his powers were back (and it wouldn't be incredibly foolish to waste his five minutes in a place like this), he'd use that trick he had in the hospital to convince everyone he was fine, and he'd be getting on his merry way back to Sternbild and the hospital, but as it stands he can't.]
Aa, I will, I will. Just have to find my way back to where I was. [/HANDFLAP]
You're not sounding particularly well yourself.

You're going to pass out before you get anywhere. Besides, you're stuck here.
And don't worry about me, I'm being taken care of. [By a very... confusing young man. He shifts under the blankets, pulling them up a little higher with a shiver.]
Reply
[He pats at his chest. Well...it's technically true. Even if for only five minutes at a time. >.>]
...Oh. [Hmmm, if you're being taken care of, then it's probably okay, but...]
Be sure to get lots of rest. [He pokes a finger at the screen.] And drink plenty of fluids!

There are plenty of bunnies here. What kind do you want?
Reply
[Y-yeah, this is the moment in which he's almost glad Bunny didn't respond, because he'd probably get an asskicking for this, wouldn't he?]
U-uh...I didn't mean--
--Bunny is, ah, a nickname. I was looking for my partner. His real name is Barnaby; he's blond, with green eyes, wears glasses and a red leather coat all the time?
Reply
[Disappoint.]
[Kanda inspects the man on the screen with no regards to any discomfort he might be feeling due to it. Then he snorts.]
There's an idiot I call Rabbit but he looks nothing like that.
[Pause.]
He's probably not here.
Reply
[He holds up his newfound rabbit in front of the screen.
Bunny?]

[Pauuusing to rub at his neck.]
I, uh. Didn't mean a rabbit. Bunny is what I call my partner, see? His real name is Barnaby.
