2nd March [video]

[ Lenalee has kept herself as polished as the mirror she's now drumming neat nails on, but the spit and shine doesn't quite hide the tired shadows in her eyes or the imprints of teeth on her lip. ]

Don't paint me ungrateful for this, but I don't care for this place's wars.

[ she had meant for the message to be bait (if Kanda is here then it's perfectly feasible that this BREW thing had russled up the rest of them - they are warriors after all) but she's lost so many things already that it can't hurt to lose her train of thought as well ]

The fresh linen and the food and the promises don't balance out blood loss, and the storm gets in my eyes and makes me tired. It's all at the wrong time, though I can't think of a right time, and I. I have people. [ her eyes crease, flicker and the feed ends ]

(if he didn't hear her, he would have left her behind.)

Yeah, why? (groaning.) What did he do?

[fleet]

Take me to the Casualty place, please.

[ioudas]

(he just crosses his arms and stares down at her.)

I'm far too stubborn. What did he do?

[fleet]

Please.

[ioudas]

Lenalee, if it was back home I would. (is that concern in his voice?)

[fleet]

He left, and I'm not ready.

[ioudas]

(probably not what she wants to hear but:) How long after my "death"?

[fleet]

Months.

[ioudas]

He didn't do it because he wanted to.

[fleet]

Please don't.

[ioudas]

Stay the night and then tomorrow I'll take you to the commons.

[fleet]

No.

[ioudas]

So help me, I will scoop you up and carry you.

[fleet]

I don't want to go.

[ioudas]

(arghhh he hates kids.) In the end, you're an adult and you can do whatever you want.

[fleet]

[ already walking away ]

[ioudas]

(... well, shit.)
