[he takes a seat next to her, and for some reason, she seems very skittish about it - she backs up and nearly trips, but manages not to. after a moment of silence:]
You... were truly not in the same adventure I went on...? I saw—
He immediately looks worried, and goes to get her a glass of water... He won't put it in her hand though, he doesn't want to startle her with his touch]
Here. I put a glass of water on the table next to you.
[he'd LIKE to put it in her hand, but if she had to hurt him... then she must be feeling antsy...]
...I had to fight a couple of people. No one we knew -- people from Hot Pants' world, I think. We got our asses handed to us, but we managed to escape. Kumon-kun was the only one left standing by the end of it.
[she is! but she tries to feel around for the glass of water he set down. her movements are gentle so she doesn't accidentally knock it off the table like a cat.]
[He shakes his head, before remembering Vin's vision.]
...No, it wasn't like a battle royale or anything. It was four versus one -- well, three. He could duplicate himself. Nogiku-san and Kazu-kun were injured and fainted, and I got punched in the head so hard I passed out.

he tenses a little at her question though, hm... bad!!]
...I was with Nogiku-san, Kumon-kun, and Kazu-kun. We were in a place from Hot Pants' memory.

Did you see me where you were?

...I hurt you.
[then, coughing a few times:]
But - what happened to you? The real you, I mean.

Left standing... [oh, hateful.] Did you die?

[their shame...]
no subject
[wait]
Good that you were not hurt more, I mean.
no subject
...Same here. I'm no good in a physical fight, so I got really lucky.
no subject
no subject
Pretty much. I did get shot earlier when I was with Nogiku-san, but Hot Pants healed me. The Hot Pants of that world.
...So you don't have to worry, Vin-chan. I'm definitely okay.
no subject
[and doubly glad that the one she encountered in her trip was not really him.]
no subject
[he doesn't know the details, but he thinks he can guess. something used him in an effort to hurt her and the others,]
no subject
I - thank you, Itsuki.
no subject
...You don't have to thank me. Just focus on resting and getting better. We're gonna have a rough day tomorrow -- and we'll need you here with us.
no subject
The same to you.
no subject
...Yeah. I'll make sure to rest too. Too many people here who'll kick my ass if I don't, you included.
no subject
There are more effective places to kick.
