[The DR certainly does like to bring people in in twos; too bad that's not what happened this time. Riku here came back in the middle of a fight with--no one. The second she notices her surroundings, though, she pauses, slipping back into a defensive position to look around.]

...Damn it.

Riku?

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

[Slumps a little, tucking her knives back into their sheathes.]

Hey.

[lived-in-a-lie.livejournal.com]

What happened? You okay?

[Trying so hard to be calm 8|]

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

[...yeah, she's probably injured. bullet wounds fuck yeah--]

More or less. I almost had him...

[lived-in-a-lie.livejournal.com]

Doesn't matter, come on, let's get you healed up.

[Brb carrying her back to room 8|]

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

Still.

[Just lets him, wrapping her arms around his neck with a slight wince so she doesn't fall.]

[lived-in-a-lie.livejournal.com]

You're here, he's there. It doesn't matter.

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

So long as it stays that way.

[lived-in-a-lie.livejournal.com]

Next time we'll be ready for him.

[Kicks the room door open.]

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

Right.

[--is he all healed :<]

[lived-in-a-lie.livejournal.com]

[Yes. He might have scars underneath his clothes, but he's fine. Lowers her down on the bed and goes to get potions.]

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

[>: Sits back, examining her wounds. There may or may not still be a bullet in her arm, and a nasty-looking rash around it.]

[lived-in-a-lie.livejournal.com]

Okay, drink up.

[Has. Tweezers to pull those out.]

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

[Omnomnom potion. God she hates this part 8|]

[lived-in-a-lie.livejournal.com]

[Ooooooone bullet out :|]

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

[Grits her teeth, because ow.]

[lived-in-a-lie.livejournal.com]

How many are there?

[Pulls another one out.]

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

Think there's one more.

[lived-in-a-lie.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[Pulling out that one.]

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

[S-swears.]

[lived-in-a-lie.livejournal.com]

[Bandages afterwards >:]

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[Finishes off the potion she was drinking now that the bullets are out.]

[lived-in-a-lie.livejournal.com]

[Hugs >:]

[tempestuouswind.livejournal.com]

[A-aw. Hugs back.]

Missed you.
