[FILTERED TO NOEL VERMILLION]

Noel, I believe there is one - counted again and it's definitely one - unconscious lug on my couch. I think he belongs to you. Would you mind picking him up when he wakes? I don't mind having him around, but I figure you'd be better with him. All his injuries have been treated so you don't have to worry about that, but remind him not to strain himself unless he wants me to hunt him down again.

... and don't tell him I said anything negative about him. It'll just be between you and me.

[END FILTER]

Jeeze, it looks like injuries abound these days! Is everyone recovering alright from their little scrape-ups? Nodoka, I'm a bit worried. Has your condition improved?

[a thoughtful pause]

By the way, guys... I'd really prefer if you don't jump to conclusions with this recent chaos. Please don't start any mobs or something. If there's any danger or major threat being posed to us, it lies in chaos and lack of rationality. So let's not add to the victim count here in Vatheon, alright?

It's only a five minute walk from here but it'll probably take a little longer since you need to take it slow.

Must've happened before I got here.

Not really. If he can bitch that much, then he couldn't have been hurt that badly.

Mm... well, he is quite an ape. I suppose this will make that rather annoying vampire owe me quite a bit... and I could always use the advantage.

[ A look, however. ] ... Don't think I'm doing this for you or his sake, however. I couldn't care less if he died; he has useful information and his brute strength may be of use to us at some point should we need it.

[ A sigh. Despite the line being secure, the look on Naoya's face reads of "Saya, do not mention anything directly aloud". ] ... Judging from the sound of things, he's quite mad at our 'doctor'. It would be unwise for us not to keep an eye on him, after all.

... I'll be there in a minute.

[At some point, Saya had a conversation with Naoya and well... it looks like he was willing to lend them a hand! Turning to Ragna and Noel, who were just about to leave, she speaks up.]

Could you hold up a minute, guys? I think I got a friend of mine to cooperate with me a bit. It looks like he knows a way to speed up your healing process, Ragna.

Are you really? [hmm]

They are. It's a bit worrying. Lots of injuries lately.

Believe it or not, there is, Kagome. A couple of my friends have been getting injured lately. It's really troublesome... One of them even had a gunshot wound.

Maybe. You're new then, I take it?

[pfff okay, she laughs a little] I guess if you put it that way... Well, he must've had a lot of stamina too. It was a pretty nasty wound, but luckily not fatal.

Yeah, my boss is the best.

How many? Are there common injuries between them. It's not like I care, but the Tenth would want me to help.

Haha, yeah? Well, you deserve all the kindness you can get right now.

Now, I don't want to bring up harsh memories but... Do you think you could talk to me a bit more about what happened?

Oh! Yeah? Well, that's good to hear. The more level-headed people around, the better.

You're right, though. It's a little worrisome. I didn't think this place could be all that dangerous...

Just because he's an adult doesn't mean anything, Carl. Sometimes adults lie, sometimes they tell the truth. It all depends on... well, them.

But there's no way to tell for sure that he's dangerous. Even this time... there isn't any true evidence that he did anything.

Heh... You're right. Admittedly, it's only in the beginning stages so I haven't done much of that. I don't expect everyone to agree with me, but I hope to keep enough level-headed people to listen so that it doesn't break out into mass chaos.

[... hm. A tilt of her head at all that. Vampire? There were quite a few things that Naoya said that she was unware of. Well, the matter of fact was... he was helping them. She grins in response.]

The door will be unlocked. Let yourself in. I don't doubt we'll still be helping Ragna get used to walking.

Heh, really? Is he kind?

So far two reported incidents, though it looks like there are a couple more scuffles, too. Not a lot of commonalities between them, but they're still problematic.

He's super kind. He's nice to everyone he meets.

Hn. Probably just punks. I could handle 'em if I happen to pass by.

A start is still progress. Just keep moving forward.

But is there evidence he DIDN'T, Miss Minatsuki?

[ No, he isn't letting this go. ] ... And it does, too! It means a lot. Adults always lie or assume they know what's best, to cover up their horrific actions... it's hardly surprising; I see it all the time. Do you really think this man is innocent? And believe me, I know for sure when Ada tells me someone is dangerous.

She doesn't react to weak people, or normal people. She only reacts to ME. She knows. My sister knows everything...

[ That's... bordering on creepy, almost controlled, and beyond hypnotic. That look in your eyes isn't helping, Carl. ] ... If you believe that, then that choice is yours. Until I see proof he DIDN'T do it, I'm going to find this guy. Sis and I will take him down, I swear it!

Hah. Of course.

[ Not that, you know, he couldn't just blow it off his hinges if he REALLY had to get in. ]

[ Hello? What on earth is that or knocking? Naoya just floats in soundlessly (somehow, still wearing those geta... it's what he DOES), arms in his haori. He raises a brow at the injured Ragna, tilts his head a bit... and smirks. ]

My, my, it's worse than I originally anticipated.

[ He sees Noel, and seems highly unsurprised she's even here. ] Ah, the soldier. I presume you were who the man was looking for?

... I-I suppose so. [ She doesn't feel like she deserves it. ]

I don't mind, Saya-san.

Sorta new. Only been here about four weeks at the most.

Heh. What'd it look like?

What kind of mob boss is that? I'm not complaining, but... well, I've never heard of that before.

Even if you could, I'd rather you didn't. No need to add any more injuries around here.

Then... how about this? Let's kill two birds with one stone. I'll drop by for a visit, okay? Is that okay with you?

Ah! That it? Well... yeah, I admit that maybe a lot more has happened since then.

Blood everywhere, putting it simply. He was pretty beat up.

That much I can do for sure.
