failure

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

[there's a trail of blood splatters and a deck of Castle Oblivion cards scattered on the floor, all leading up to a nearby restroom -- she's standing in front of the mirror, grumbling unhappily and trying to clean her face with a damp towel.]

Comments

[seasides]

[the deck makes him think someone else at first, but either way he's collecting them as he makes his way toward that room, tucking them into his pocket as he peeks in. a Sora was not what he was expecting, but he's still immediately worried.]

Need a hand?

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

[whips her head towards him in surprise, which was absolutely a bad idea -- she stumbles, then crumples like a sack of potatoes.]

[seasides]

[D: he didn't mean to do that. darts forward to try and catch her before she hits the floor.]

Sorry!

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

[it's not your fault; it's hers for picking fights in the first place :< give her a minute, she'll come around.]

[seasides]

[well she's getting one hell of a Cure spell from him, either way. :/]

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

[... blinks rapidly, and looks up at Kai with a sort of glazed over expression. it feels like she's waking up way too early in the morning.]

... Huhh? Time for school already?..

[seasides]

[s-snorts and casts another Cure.]

Not quite.

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

Oh, good .. I didn't do my homework.

[squeezes her eyes shut, and starts moving to sit up.]

[seasides]

What homework?

[helps her, but makes sure she doesn't move too quickly.]

[SNAP. Riku's followed because waryku is wary... and that's not a good sight.]

What happened here?

derp icon :V

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

[Sora recognizes that voice! she turns slowly, leaning against the countertop.]

Riku?

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

Hey.

[He'll go ahead and lean against the door frame.]

Looks like you've had it a little rough.

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

... Yeah.

[frowns down at the bloody cloth in her hands.]

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

Here. This might help.

[Have a curaga~!]

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

[that does help ease the pain -- she sort of stumbles away from the counter and flops down on the floor, back against the wall.]

Thanks.

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

No need to thank me. I couldn't just leave you there, after all.

[Because Sora. Still...]

How'd you wind up like that, anyway?

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

[takes a deeeeep breath.]

Picked a fight with an Axel.

[dawnrise]

[Blood trails are never good things, though it's not often Riku's on the end that's following. It takes her maybe half a second once she reaches the door and spots who's inside before--]

Sora?!

[--she's instantly at her side.]

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

[she glances at Riku briefly, and kind of smiles awkwardly -- it's especially awkward since her whole face is bloodied -- and she brings the towel to her face again.]

[dawnrise]

[Don't you smile at me. Riku's taking over that cleanup whether Sora likes it or not, reaching for the towel.]

What happened to you?

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

[Sora tries to shake her head, which turns out to be a dumb idea on her part; doing so sends a sharp stab of pain through her head -- she grabs a hold of the edge of the counter to regain her balance, but winds up going down anyway.]

[dawnrise]

[Oh no you don't - not when Riku's close enough to catch her.]

Sora?

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

[Sora's awake almost immediately after going out, looking dazed -- she blinks up at Riku.]

[dawnrise]

[Riku's moving her into a more comfortable position. She's sorry the floor will have to do.]

Hey.

[cardbreaking.livejournal.com]

[that's quite all right; Sora doesn't seem to notice much! she holds her gaze on Riku for another minute or so, and frowns slightly.]

Riku.. m'sorry..
