I, um... i-if I did anything to hurt anyone during this experiment, I-I'm really sorry. Everyone else is okay, r-right? Some of the things people got turned into were pretty scary.. I'm g-glad this is all over with.

I-I hope we don't have another experiment like that any time soon. I think I liked the ones that didn't involve being changed into anything b-better.

Would it, um... w-would it be okay if I came home now?

It didn't seem that bad to me.

[knightofratatosk]

Maybe not to you...

[wirebones.livejournal.com]

So why is it that it's so bad to you?

[knightofratatosk]

B-because I got transformed, that's why. Well... kind of.

[wirebones.livejournal.com]

What happened, exactly?

[knightofratatosk]

I, um... there's another part of me t-that comes out when I fight.

[Filter]

[wirebones.livejournal.com]

Another part of you...? [ intrigued. ]

[Filter]

[knightofratatosk]

Y-yes. Anyway, the experiment caused him to c-come out all of the time, not just when I was in battle.

All right. Now take it easy...

[Musette's doing her best to help keep him balanced, but this will likely be a slow walk. She'll try healing him some more during their their breaks, as well.]

[knightofratatosk]

[Slow is more than all right with him given his injuries. The thought of his own bed is what is spurring him on right now-- that and a hot bath.]

[wirebones.livejournal.com]

I see. He's dangerous, then.

[She'll hum a soft tune as they go instead of speaking the entire time; it's meant to be comforting.]

[knightofratatosk]

... I hope Richter isn't angry w-with me.

[knightofratatosk]

... y-yeah.

[wirebones.livejournal.com]

Mn... You say he comes out during "battle"? What is it that triggers his appearance?

[Filter]

[knightofratatosk]

I-I'm not really sure. I mean, sometimes I call on him, but other times he c-comes out on his own. Marta says it's also happened when I g-got mad before.

[Action]

[holysovereign.livejournal.com]

He isn't, dear. I believe he's simply worried.

[Filter]

[wirebones.livejournal.com]

I see... [ thinking. ]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I didn't hurt anyone... did I?

[Action]

[holysovereign.livejournal.com]

I haven't heard anything, dear... although I am concerned for your condition, mmm?

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I-I'll be fine once I get some rest.

[Action]

[holysovereign.livejournal.com]

Among other things.

[judge-evening.livejournal.com]

Yes. If you're not home in the next ten minutes, I'm going out to find you.

[Filter]

[knightofratatosk]

R-right!

[Sorry, Richter, it's gonna be a lot more than ten minutes; even with Musette's help he can't go very fast.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[Like a hot bath... he's still shivering despite the cloak.]
