Axel!

[Riku's up on her feet immediately to intervene, looking angry at them now, instead of the situation. What the fuck is wrong with them?]

[Red's head jerks back violently, the force of the punch causing him to even stumble. But he rights himself easily, blood spilling from his now broken nose. Really, he barely seems bothered by the attack, and certainly isn't showing any sign of pain, even as he rubs at his nose none too lightly, eyeing the blood that smeared over his hand for a moment. Then he just flicks some of it off to the side, gazing coolly at Axel.]

You done?

[testosterone, Riku, that's what's wrong with them. Axel looks a little calmer now, even if Red's not showing signs of pain, and meets his gaze evenly.]

Yep, much better now. I'll help you if you really want me to, but I still think you're an idiot for even wanting to try.

[Riku is busy focused on the broken and bleeding nose, but she manages to turn an angry expression Axel's way.]

No, you won't. Neither of you are doing anything right now except going home.

[She's still lightheaded and a little pale now, the look in her eyes still bordering panic. But she's pissed off on top of it, and that's what's keeping her grounded.]

I never said it would be right now. The spiders need to do their jobs first, and you need to be taken care of.

[Why yes, he is letting some concern through there, despite Axel being around.]

And I'm sure dumbass here wants to check in on Kai.

[sneers at Red, then turns to Riku. he'd really like to just beat Red into the floor right now, but.]

I'm sorry any of this happened, and I'm sorry I was too late to keep Zexion from hurting you. I'll send Kai over once everyone's got clothing again, to do what he can to help you relax.

[turns on his heel and heads for the door, roughly shoulder-checking Red on his way by. one or both of you can get a last word in before he leaves, if you want.]

[She scowls at Red first, briefly, then turns an equally unhappy look Axel's way before her shoulders just... drop. She wants to thank him, she really does, but not right now. Not after he just punched Red in the face, even if she doesn't want him to get involved in this either. So she doesn't say anything. Maybe she'll call him to thank him later. Or not. Her phone has probably been destroyed in the blaze.]

[He turns, looking toward Axel with a vaguely amused expression.]

Next time, try taking out your anger on someone who actually deserves it, alright?

[you're getting flipped off over his shoulder, Red, and then he's gone, breaking into a run as soon as he's out of the library, heading for home as fast as he can. in his opinion, you DID deserve it, and he still doesn't feel bad for punching you in the face. also Riku, there will probably be a new phone that just kind of appears in your apartment in a day or so. it doesn't seem like that's something that would stay gone long, in the DR. :|a]

[A new phone will be sitting on her table when she gets home. Now yes, go home and talk to Kai. As soon as Axel's out the door she's turning back to Red and putting her hands on his face, focusing on that broken nose. It's either that or she focuses on being mad.]

[He would very much rather she focus on his nose! He doesn't think he deserves any anger toward him. He's not the one who was punching people.]

It'll be fine.

You're getting a cure anyway.

[She's not really angry with either of them. Not seriously angry, though she does not think Red deserved to be punched, no matter how frustrated Axel is with the situation and his attitude. Mostly, she's just annoyed that they're fighting over something stupid like this. Though, she doesn't want Red getting involved either.

With her touching him, Red will probably be able to feel the trembling just under her skin.]

Alright. But then we're leaving to your apartment.

[Because yeah, he can feel that, and with Axel gone he's letting the concern he's feeling show more on his face.]

Fine.

[She wants to get back out of public anyway, especially after that little... confrontation? Would it count as an attack? She'd consider it a threat, but not to her. To Axel, sure. Anyway, she moves one of her hands over Red's nose - this is probably going to feel weird, being concentrated on his face when he already doesn't like the feel of magic, but there's not much getting around it.]

[Having it so concentrated there makes him almost look ill for a moment, but he manages to shake it off. As long as it's healed and Riku's happy with it, he can deal with a little uncomfortableness.]

[She feels a little bad for that, but it's better for him to be a little sick than to walk around with a damn broken nose. And Axel can't say anything because she gave him a cure the (first) time she broke his nose, too.]

Better?

Yeah.

[Aside from feeling like he needs to vomit now. But he knows that'll fade pretty quickly.]

I brought an umbrella so you could hold it in front of yourself. Tested it and it should cover everything in the front.

Great. Let's go.

[It's probably obvious that she doesn't care much about being seen anymore. Not really. After what happened she just wants to get home.]

[He frowns slightly, but nods and goes to grab the umbrella, handing it over to Riku. He doesn't really care too much if she actually uses it or not.]

[She's definitely going to use it. She's opening it now, in fact. She might be a little guarded and a little freaked out under it -- okay, a lot freaked out, and she's hoping Red isn't noticing, even though he probably is--

She may be a little freaked out, but it's not enough that she's just going to go outside without caring about the fact that she's in the nude.]

[Honestly, he doubted she wouldn't use it, even after all that. Riku is Riku, regardless of how panicked she is, and Riku is not one to wander around naked.]

[She is. She's also grabbing his wrist to pull him along once she has the umbrella set.]

Come on.

I'm coming, I'm coming.

[She wouldn't even have to pull him along, jeez. But he doesn't sound very rude there. He'll try and be nice since she's all freaked still.]

[Unless he feels like striking up conversation on the way there, it will be a short, silent trip back to her apartment. Anyone else along their path will be completely ignored.]

[Nnnnnope, it's going to be one quiet trip! At least it's a short one.]
