I took care of that.

But he's so pale! What if he lost too much blood?!

Re: The Clawed Door

[learntofly]

He hasn't. He's just sleeping.

Re: The Clawed Door

[acemagician]

He hasn't yet, but. . .

[trails off uncertainly, then huffs]

Please take care of yourselves. I tried cleaning up as much as I could, but. . . I don't want you all to be sad and have to live in a house filled with so much blood forever.

[Kit looks at her tiredly, but Yayoi just smiles]

It's alright. It'll get better from here.

Re: The Clawed Door

[acemagician]

What are your names? I'm Bella.

Re: The Clawed Door

[learntofly]

[She points to each person in turn as she names them]

I'm Yayoi, and this is Kit, Shark, Claude . . . Cub in the other room, and . . . and Dragonfly isn't here now. But he'll be back.

Re: The Clawed Door

[acemagician]

Oh! Where did Dragonfly go?

Re: The Clawed Door

[learntofly]

[Kit makes a miserable noise, curling his arms over his head a little.

Yayoi just smiles.]

He's with another team . . . I think they're having a sleepover.

Re: The Clawed Door

[acemagician]

. . . [looking over at Kit]

A sleepover? After something so bad happened there is blood all over your house?

Re: The Clawed Door

[learntofly]

He left before this happened.

Re: The Clawed Door

[acemagician]

Well. . . I'm really glad he's okay.

Um. Do you need anything else before I go?

Re: The Clawed Door

[learntofly]

[Kit stands abruptly and leaves the room, posture stiff.

Yayoi blinks at him in surprise, but keeps her attention on Bella]

Ah . . . we don't. I think we're fine now.

Re: The Clawed Door

[acemagician]

[watches him go :?]

. . . okay.

[following Kit now??]

Re: The Clawed Door

[learntofly]

[Kit's sitting in the living area now, back to the wall by the stove with his head resting between his knees]

Re: The Clawed Door

[acemagician]

[sliding up next to him :(a]

. . . she was lying, wasn't she?

Re: The Clawed Door

[learntofly]

She doesn't know she is.

Re: The Clawed Door

[acemagician]

Really? So. . .

Is it sort of like believing in something so hard it eventually becomes true?

Re: The Clawed Door

[learntofly]

[He shrugs]

I guess.

Re: The Clawed Door

[acemagician]

Well. . . I don't know what happened, and I'm not sure how else to help. But. . . things will definitely be okay! Okay? They always will, even if they're not okay right now!

Re: The Clawed Door

[learntofly]

[He turns his head to look at her, staring quietly for a moment]

. . . Eventually, yeah.

Re: The Clawed Door

[acemagician]

That's because no mess is too big to clean up.

[nods firmly]

. . . I hope you will be able to keep yourself and the rest of the people here together until things get better again.

Re: The Clawed Door

[learntofly]

[He just smiles, a little tired and a touch too tight]

I hope so too.

Re: The Clawed Door

[acemagician]

Um, if you don't want meat, do you mind if I take the meat on the table? There's a hungry dragon outside who might eat someone if I don't.

Re: The Clawed Door

[learntofly]

[He's quiet for a long moment, eying the meat with an unreadable expression]





. . . Just make sure you wrap it tight.
