[No, you don't get alone time. Barely a minute after the post goes up and there's a knocking at your door.]

[can't you see he's busy in here, god.
still, a moment later the door unlocks, but doesn't open it.]

[That's actually a lot better a reaction than he was expecting, really. No demands to be left alone to wallow in angst? Who are you?

But totally taking that as an invitation in, thank you very much. He pauses for a few seconds to let Sasuke escape back to under the covers or wherever the hell he was sulking, before opening the door and slipping in, shutting it quietly behind him.

Talking still seems like it'd set off a bomb, though, so he's quiet for the moment.]

[whatever he isn't looking at you. actually, he's mostly ignoring you. his shirt is on his bed and he's redressing the bandages around his torso and his arm.]

Sasuke. Were you hurt? [Just cutting right to it]

voice;

[blindingrevenge]

I'm fine.

[cursed_tattoo]

Sasuke.

[blindingrevenge]

I am. It's just a few scrapes.

Alas, alas. Lady fortune does not favor much lately. Or is the fact that no one died a sign of her smile turning our way? It's hard to see where our misfortune falls in the grand scheme of things.

[blindingrevenge]

Just being here is a pain in the ass.

[sisconium]

Is it? You must come from a relaxing place! Or perhaps a busy place where it is far too much trouble to be pulled away? I had nothing particularly important going on -- not to say that my life is boring -- but nothing to pass up the chance to fight for justice in otherworldly war.

[blindingrevenge]

That's great for you.

[unfortunately sarcasm doesn't translate well over text.]

[He's perched on the bed, first aid kit in his lap, roll of bandages in his hands as he wraps his arm up, eyes scanning over the text of the message. His expression? It might just be more sullen than it usually is. Once he's done with the bandages, he gives the roll a short tug, just to tighten the wrapping a bit, then grabs for scissors to cut the end. He drops the roll onto the bed a little carelessly, then looks back to the communicator]

You okay?

[There's a touch of empathy in the question. Just a little.]

[hey, they're bandage buddies. sasuke's own left arm is bandaged up, he looks less than impressed, but it's almost with a disinterested air- he's faking it.]

It could have gone better.

[though he takes note of enma's own wrappings]

Are you?

video;

[neverbeenworse]

Yeah...

[follows Sasuke's line of vision and stares down at his wrappings almost dismissively.]

This isn't too bad.

[blindingrevenge]

Hn.

[they didn't do half bad as partners. not that he's going to say it.]

[Voice] So your partner wanted me to talk to you...

[ih8spiders]

[This reply doesn't come right away, because Kurapika has to spend some time thinking about Saralegui's "request", and recalling what he knows of Sasuke from the one conversation they had. He still doesn't think that he has any right to butt in, especially since he's not supposed to know that Sasuke might have a past similar to his.

... But fine. He can't help being curious.]

Are you all right?

voice;

[blindingrevenge]

[he'll be pissed to find out Sara's been blabbing about him, but since he doesn't know that now, and doesn't know you well, he sounds dismissive.]

Why wouldn't I be?

voice;

[ih8spiders]

We didn't succeed. [simply]

[Just trying to find out if you're the kind of person who mopes about failures.]

voice;

[blindingrevenge]

We found out what we're up against.

[if anything, he's even more determined. and it's in his voice.]
