[Rue notices the bandages first. She remembers this boy, though only vaguely. She remembers him running from her, she remembers continually approaching him--
Again and again, but for what?
Did...did she hurt him? Did she do that to him?
She sees the shine of the ring, but...it does not entice her the way it did before. She keeps her distance at first, wondering if she should turn away now before he notices her...]
Eh, it's not too fast. Sometimes there are a lot of posts, but it's very easy to skim/keep up with.shattereddiceNovember 14 2011, 20:59:27 UTC
[[Hurdle crossed! And he relaxes a bit again.]] How long have you been here? [[He hadn't really talked to too many people yet, mostly trying to avoid the Ring's voice or getting anyone targeted by said voice.]]
Not at all :D We go til we run out of things to do :DshattereddiceNovember 14 2011, 21:40:55 UTC
[[a bit of a rueful smile. Bad luck was just his luck...]] That's a good thing to hear. And with with that, things did seem to end up all right in the end.
Something so you can gather up the courage before it all comes again, ne?
[[His hand was pretty slack on the bench next to him. After two weeks Bakura had gotten much better at getting it to go limp when he wasn't even thinking of it. Though if Rue kept her eyes on it, she'd see one of his fingers twitch just slightly as Bakura's mind distractedly though of it.
A rest period before it all started up again, huh? Did that mean he could relax a little...?]]
[She does notice the twitch, just as she turns her attention away from it, though she's not entirely sure what to make of it. For a girl who's been human all her life without knowing it, she really doesn't feel like she knows the human body all that well--
And she has no idea what may have happened to him.
She doesn't remember doing any of that...
She had let him go. She had let him go, so she could find another victim...]
[She doesn't quite answer his question. The silence perhaps might make it seem like she's considering her answer, but...in the end--]
...Your hand...
[She doesn't make any motions to invade his personal space anymore. But she does fixate back on the hand he's been trying hard to hide. That twitch she saw...she knows she didn't imagine it.]

[Aw, the warm smile eases the tension some, and she's able to smile, too...]
I'm sure you know by now that...that wasn't quite me...

[...Well. Maybe.]
To be honest, I don't really know what it was.
[She frowns then, noticing the sudden fixation on his hand.]
...is it bothering you?

I don't think anyone really knows! [[plowing on ahead! Pay the hand no mind...]] And it affected so many people... pretty mysterious, huh?

It is. Though being here as long as I have, I've sadly grown accustomed to this city's lack of answers...
[About anything. :|]

Almost half a year, if memory serves.
[A sigh. Admittedly, it hasn't lately. But it's the best answer she has.]
Yourself...?

Just two weeks...

[Gosh, he's a newbie by comparison.]
...A stroke of bad luck, then. Things like this don't...happen often, really.
[It's usually something big or nothing at all. Boredom or chaos...Vatheon has never had any in-betweens.]

At least, for now. A recovery period of sorts...
[And she glances tentatively over to his hand again.]
