[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?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Thank you. I'll be over there in a few minutes.

[And she heads off in the direction of Saya's apartment o/]

[Until then, she'll be pondering whether or not it would be mean to tell people that Ragna snores and drools in his sleep. Just setting out some milk for herself and occasionally looking back at Ragna for signs of waking.]

[And after maybe 6 minutes or so of walking, Noel makes it to her destination and knocks on the door]

Saya? It's Noel.

[Getting to that door and opening it up with a smile.]

Hey there! Come on in. Can I treat you to anything?

[It's not as if Ragna nearly died today or anything.]

He's on the couch. Didn't have the heart to wake him up.

Oh, n-no thank you. I'm alright.

[Psh, no of course not. Just an average day in Vatheon]

I-i'm not sure if I have the heart to wake him up either.

[Snore...]

[Snore...wait whut. He hears voices and he's awake now.]

W-What the hell..?

[He doesn't even know he's all fixed up. But he tries to get up anyways and oh god the pain..some one stop this idiot]

[Saya's quick to rush to his side and put a hand on his shoulder, guiding him back down.]

Hold on for a bit. You're generally alright, but you shouldn't move around that much, or that quickly. It's possible for your shoulder wound to open up again.

[Rushes over to his side as well]

S-she's right. You shouldn't be trying to get up in your condition right now.

Noel...Saya...argh..

[Wait what. Okay, this is weird. Why is he all bandaged up?]

What the hell happened?

[she shrugs]

You passed out. I did what I promised. Took you back to my place, and kept the personal space invasion to a minimum-

[She looks around and oh look. There's your shirt and coat hanging on another chair, Ragna. She gestures to them nonchalantly.]

If you're looking for your clothes, there they are. Still bloody, though. Didn't have the time to wash.

O-oh, I can wash those when we go back to my apartment.

Thanks for your help, Saya.

[This somehow reminds him of his sister. But that's not right, the person before him is another woman. He's confused for a moment trying to straighten out his thoughts.]

[She is completely oblivious to your inner turmoil, Ragna.]

Not a problem! I'm happy to help. I just hope you're not a frequent visitor like this.

[Lala just going to go over and get those bloodied clothes of yours Ragna]

I hope I don't have to come back here either.

[He's still not all that comfortable being in the same room with a clone of his sister and someone who has her name but he'll get over it.]

Aw, don't say it that way. I need the company once in a while.

[she laughs a bit, not completely sure why he seems so tense]

So both of you are welcome to drop by any time, alright? And as much as I hate to say it... especially if you somehow manage to get yourself injured.

Thank you, Saya. You've been so helpful, to both of us really.

Shit..

[He struggles to sit up. There was a lot less pain this time around. He can move if he takes it slowly. Lesson learned.]

Hey, Noel. How far do we have to walk?

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