[Shortly after his confrontation with Russia, Cornelius awakens in the street and immediately wishes he hadn't. Few things beat waking up in Hell to find you've been turned into a rabbit, but failing to protect a lady in need and getting the crap beaten out of you by the guy you were protecting comes pretty close!

Also the pain hurt really bad, that

[Sakuya was on her way to purchase groceries, as it was but one of her many responsibilities. However, today seemed to be a good day! She goes up to the poor little beaten up bunny who seemed to be quite meaty.]

Oh my. What an interesting day: I go to look for groceries and it seems groceries end up finding me. Now, if only I could stumble across milk and vegetables simply by taking a stroll today.

[Cornelius knows he's too weak to fight right now, but getting made into soup sounds Unpleasant.

His hand gropes for his sword and, shaking, he attempts to use it to lift himself to his feet.]

[the_devils_maid]

Now, come along. I've never been one too fond of rabbits, but this is too nice a thing to ignore.

[pooka_prince]

[coughs up a bit of blood before speaking, but speaks nonetheless]

I am not... a rabbit.

[battle_maid]

[After all of that, Hungary's pretty sure all of this is her fault and for that reason has searched the little rabbit thing out. Once she manages to at least catch sight of him she'll tentatively move closer, a tiny bit skittish about all of this.]

If you do not wish to return to him, you could stay with us...

[pooka_prince]

[Cornelius cracks open one swollen eye and smiles a little]

That is... very kind of you, but I must decline. I will not run from him.

[battle_maid]

[She returns the smile with a little nervous one of her own.]

I insist that you stay at least long enough to heal.

[pooka_prince]

Well... If you insist...

[Cornelius chuckles, then closes his eyes again, having passed out]

[immortal_smoke]

This situation almost seems familiar, somehow.

Are you all right?

[pooka_prince]

It's... nothing I'll die from.

[immortal_smoke]

You haven't struck me in the past as sharing my ambivalence.

[pooka_prince]

Perhaps... you are rubbing off on me... hah...

[discoinfernorz]

[you know that rabid little hippie next door? guess who just happens to be standing over you now, looking half-amused and half-pitying. ...sort of]

You're looking worse for the wear.

[pooka_prince]

I will... be fine. Wounds heal quickly in this town.

[discoinfernorz]

So I've heard.

[plops down on the grass nearby]

How did you manage such injuries, hm?

[pooka_prince]

I was struck by a passing car. The drone drivers are... careless.

[cowardly_prince]

...

Do you make enemies everywhere you go, Prince of Titania?

[pooka_prince]

It's a difficult habit to break.

[cowardly_prince]

Who did this? I owe it to Velvet to keep you from being slaughtered in this hovel.

[pooka_prince]

It was Russia, my house's "father". But please- do not confront him. He is dangerous, and Velvet would never forgive me if you were hurt on my account.
