And Good Will Towards Men

[gamenojikan]

 [After being nailed to a tree in several places and having her wrists, throat, and ankles cut up with razor wire, Yui's been confined to the sickbay. That said, the injuries have been healing incredibly fast-despite having five or so arteries shredded, including her jugular, Yui's expected to be good to go in a day or so.

So she's lying down on a bed, bandages wrapped around her right shoulder, left forearm, and neck. And for the sole person who has tried to betray the White Chalice to Kairos Aspada, things are...calm.]

Ranna arrives bearing some food as she scans the girl with her eyes.

"It is good you seem to heal fast, quiaff?"

[gamenojikan]

It's a bit less pleasant when you're nailed to a tree, but...yes.

The same thing that would have kept me suffering forever if Elizabeth won means I don't have to worry about dying if she loses.

[wardeninexile]

"She would have fit right in with the Blakist," Ranna said with some derision.

"My apologies for getting you out of the constraints so late. I could not find the opportunity to shoot sooner." A slight bow of her head.

[Richard sits there, arms folded as he looks at her.]

If it weren't for the fact you'll probably be fine on your own anyway, I'd offer a healing spell.

...Sorry, been a while since we've talked, so...

[gamenojikan]

No, that's quite alright.

...Oh. You had a girlfriend, didn't you?

[paladin_robot]

No thanks to you. She thought you and I had... well...

[Congrats, barely a minute in to your first conversation in a while, he's already stumbling.]

You remember that kiss?

1/2

[gamenojikan]

Of course. You're not bad at it, you know.

2/2

[gamenojikan]

But...it's a time for apologies.

If you want me to explain it to her, I will.

Re: 2/2

[paladin_robot]

T-That would help, yeah...

J-Just so long as you don't tell her an even worse explanation like I'm some French playboy! P-Plus you should probably heal first.

Re: 2/2

[gamenojikan]

Relax, I won't be that cruel.

But you know, if you take too long to get her here, I might change my mind...

Re: 2/2

[paladin_robot]

B-But... you have to rest first, don't you? There's no reason that right... I mean... Ah...

[Richard begins to twirl his finger, doing... something. There's a light at the tip at least.]

Re: 2/2

[gamenojikan]

I'm perfectly capable of talking. And watch it, your finger's glowing.

Re: 2/2

[paladin_robot]

Location spell. So its...

Be right back!

Later

[paladin_robot]

So... Yui, Ann. Ann, Yui.

[Why the introductions?!]

I think there's... things that need saying.

[armored_mother]

And that would be?

[Scythe is just going to look between the two of them and wonder just what's going on.]

[gamenojikan]

You were dating Richard, correct?

Don't hold anything I did with him against him. I was half messing with his head, half trying to get in his pants. It didn't exactly work, but it's fun to try, no?

[paladin_robot]

There, you see? She didn't mean anything by-

...W-Wait, what was that second part...?

[armored_mother]

[Scythe opens her mouth to say something... then closes it... then slooowly considers...]

How much fun?

[....Uh oh.]

[gamenojikan]

Pretty fun. He makes such wonderfully cute faces when he's flustered, don't you think?

[paladin_robot]

H-Hey now, that's not fair! I-I don't try and get you guys to-! I mean-! Gah!

[Richard maddeningly ruffles up his own hair.]

[armored_mother]

[Yeah Richard? You REALLY aren't helping your case here.]

I can see your point...

[As Scythe nods, Richard would realize that his doom is approaching. Scythe now understands the situation with Yui and things have gone from bad to worse.]

[aesoprevived]

[Mad's by her side now that things have been more or less cleared up for her.]

Hey.... Yui?

[gamenojikan]

...Hey.

[aesoprevived]

[Mad's gonna hug you right now. After the fight and THE fight, if was most merited indeed.]

You feeling better?

[gamenojikan]

...I shouldn't have left you. I mean, you came back, even after I said all those things, and I left you behind, and I...

[She's almost got tears in her eyes.]

[aesoprevived]

And you're right here, getting better and everything worked out in the end.

[Mad's going to cut you off with something just a little more optimistic.]

[gamenojikan]

...Yeah.

...Really though, even after that...It's weird that you're still around me...

[aesoprevived]

...? What's so weird about it?

Just because we fought doesn't mean I'd stop loving you Yui.

[gamenojikan]

I guess...I'm still getting used to that.

People...loving me.

[aesoprevived]

Well... I kinda have an idea that can help you with that... might not be a good idea.

[Mad has a small smile and shrugs weakly.]

I thought about what you said about us and how the only thing we're good at was making people miserable.

So I figured I may as well try prove you wrong on it... for both of us.

[Mad's gonna hold your hand now Yui.]

You wanna bail from this? The whole Chalice and Aspida thing and head over to my hometown and give a.... kinda quiet life a shot?

I mean... course we'd have to beat some heads in again sometime and... geez I'm just making this worse...

[Translation: 'Yui, I want to settle down and spend the rest of my life with you, even though I'm a complete moron and messing up my own explainaton.']

[gamenojikan]

That...

I'd be fine with that.

[aesoprevived]

[Mad couldn't help but give a small and irreverent grin as a crazy idea popped up in her head.]

Give me a heads up when you're good to go... if we're gonna leave, we may as well make it an awesome exit right?
