✿ 4th Bud [Action]

[seiriald]

[It's been several days since the incident that confined her to the clinic, and frankly Kaori has become very tired of that place. Not only was she bored out of her mind, but merely the smell of it brought up fragmented memories of pain and fear from long ago. On top of that, it was lonely when no one visited. Sorry Vash, but she really can't take it anymore.

Therefore it makes sense that she sneak out, right?! Never mind that she is still badly bruised and sore everywhere due to damaged and sprained muscles, which makes walking very difficult. But what's some injuries to her? At the very least she can talk! Sort of... It takes some effort.

As for the destination she has in mind? Her apartment at the very top of CH4, pretty smart. Of course she probably won't get very far, and may end up resting in the flower shop instead. Feel free to intercept her anywhere along this stupid journey of sheer determination, she may or may not bite. And it may or may not take all day.]

I'm starting to think it hurts too much for you to talk but...

...I hope you don't mind if I babble a bit, do you?

[seiriald]

[She shakes her head, in fact, she'd kind of like it. That he's figured out it hurts to speak makes her uncomfortable, though.]

I bet you're wondering right now about me. Well, wondering if I'm just an idiot or a really nice guy.

[seiriald]

[He's half right, she was just thinking he was really nice until he brought up the idiot type. That brings out a small smile.]

My dad taught me to be like that. He said he couldn't be a hero so I promised him I would do it for him. I'd help out everyone, even if it was just a little bit. So if you're wondering about why I'm helping...that's why.

[seiriald]

... A promise? [She'd vowed something similar long ago, to a precious person. Too bad she skewed the interpretation and sought out loopholes so she could still uphold it.]

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

A promise. I'll do what he wanted to do.

[seiriald]

... Can I help? [Whether it's the kind of help he wants is a big gamble, her sense of morality is skewed from what was usually expected here.]

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

Help? [He stopped speaking for a moment]


...how would you do that?

[seiriald]

[Small shrug, she's not sure how she can help. But by blood she is obligated to assist Humans in whatever situation.]

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

If you think of a way, you can let me know. Otherwise, I don't have any ideas.

[seiriald]

[Pouting a little, she asked him for a reason because she is somewhat aware that her morals aren't normal.]

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

Wh-What? I mean...I can't let someone get hurt while helping me out. As a hero, it's my job to get hurt so no one else does.

[seiriald]

[... Okay she can understand that completely, but it's still NOT COOL. Have some more pouting your way.]

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

Umm...you aren't mad, are you?

[seiriald]

[Shaking her head carefully, she feels more... disgruntled? It's not every day she helps a Human willingly.]

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

Oh. I'm sorry if I said anything wrong though.

[seiriald]

S'okay. [Now go back to your blabbering so she has something else to focus on.]

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

Alright...

...have you met Tohsaka yet?

[seiriald]

[Shaking her head carefully, as far as she knows they haven't crossed paths. But how would a blind girl know for sure?]

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

I'll have to introduce you two some day. She needs more friends, to be honest. I get a little worried about her sometimes.

[seiriald]

Why? [Was he afraid of her becoming lonely?]

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

Because she's been like that for as long as I've known her.

[seiriald]

How long...?

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

I've known her for about four years and she never spent time with anyone as far as I know.
