Happily Ever After

[aesoprevived]

[Another disaster averted and another day saved. Yui was resting after getting patched up after dealing with being tied to a tree with barbed wire and being bled for a nightmarish eldritch apocalypse machine designed to kill everyone except for herself - in addition, that shard with its equally unearthly power had been jammed into her. Mad waited outside the infirmary, but looked more at peace than she ever had before... a sense of knowing her place in the world, of finally reaching her dream of heroism. She didn't need everyone to recognize her and admire her... rather... just the people she cared about.]

Dad.... Gregory... I finally did it... I'm a real hero now...

[She took a deep breath and let out a happy, satisfied sigh as she pondered on the future while lying down in the arboretum.]

[Aaaaand cue hair ruffling by Richard.]

You may be a hero, but you've still got a few things to do before you're done, right?

[He has just got. The worst grin. On his face.]

[aesoprevived]

Hey!

[Mad gives Richard a dirty look - pulling his hand away from her hair and getting it back in order.]

.... What's that supposed to mean?

[paladin_robot]

Well, for starters...

[Richard gazes into the infirmary briefly.]

...Making sure she comes out of this alright. Saving the day is one thing, keeping things safe is another.

[aesoprevived]

... Yeah. I hear that.

[She looked at the door, and looked downright resolute.]

She'll always be alright...
