a!

[flaredo]

[ Yang doesn't take kindly to rudeness. Thankfully, this won't end in a crotch grab (yet), because she's merely taking a step back to regain her balance and snapping back: ]

You might wanna take your own advice first!

[adornmental]

[YET..... He doesn't want to end up in that category?!

But he actually recognizes that voice, which has him raising his head reflexively - and then dropping it just as quickly, because no not Yang. Not a fellow fashionista!! He really can't be seen like this... So he'll just try to step around her, awkwardly keeping his face hidden.]

Sorry. [A hasty, rudeass apology...] I'll like, be more careful next time.

[flaredo]

[ Silly Kashuu... before she is a fashionista, she is a sister, and as he moves to go around her, she reaches out to snag his arm.

Because wait, she knows that voice-- ]

Kashuu?

[adornmental]

[He lives in fear, okay... But he'll come to a halt once she grabs his arm, even though he keeps one hand up to tug his hood down a little farther.]

Um— Yeah, hi. I'm kinda in a hurry right now, so...

[flaredo]

Hold it. Why are you hiding in a hood, exactly?

[ WHY ARE YOU NOT SHOWING OFF YOUR ATTRACTIVENESS, MY PLATONIC PARTNER-- ]

[adornmental]

[BECAUSE, PLATONIC PARTNER, his attractiveness has greatly diminished!! It's a tragedy and he's in mourning.]

I'm not hiding! [Oops, that was a little snappish... He feels bad instantly, since Yang's done nothing - he's just extra sensitive. There's an awkward stilted pause where an apology would be...] ...I just don't feel good, so I'm going back to Haruji.

[flaredo]

[ Yang's not bothering to recoil or look hurt-- because when he snaps, it inspires more concern than anything. ]

You're feeling sick? Do you need help getting back?

[ It's a little softer, though. If he doesn't want it, she won't insist on it. ]

[adornmental]

[A couple of seconds pass by in silence before Kashuu eventually relents with a nod. He tends to push people away when he's upset, but that doesn't mean he ever really loses his desire to be around others.]

Yeah, um— yeah. S'that okay? We're in an apartment that's close to the district entrance, so it's not far.

[flaredo]

Of course it's okay! What kind of friend would I be if I left you to it on your own?

[adornmental]

...Thanks.

[UGH HIS HEART. Normally this is the part where he'd probably bound closer and try to reach for her hand, but he's Struggling so he just turns to face the direction he'd been heading.]

Sorry about this.

[flaredo]

[ HE'LL GET AN ARM SLUNG OVER HIS SHOULDER ANYWAY. ]

None of that. 'Sorry' is banned.

[adornmental]

[IT MAKES HIM FLINCH gosh Yang!! Not because it hurts, but because he's wary about being this close to other people when he doesn't look his best. It's a struggle...]

You should be careful. I don't wanna ruin your outfit or anything.

[Blood tends to do that...]

[flaredo]

... Believe it or not, I'm actually not that shallow.

[ Flatly. Because Kashuu, please understand you can barf or bleed on her, and it'll be gross, but she won't give you grief for it. ]

[adornmental]

[He doesn't think it's that shallow to be upset about things like that!! Especially since it can diminish someone else's beauty in return and that's just Unforgivable, he doesn't want to be responsible for that.]

—I mean, I know but, y'know...

[Bye, his eloquence. Good bye.]

[flaredo]

I don't know, so quit fussing and just lean on me.

[ SHE WILL STILL BE HOT EVEN IF SHE'S BLED ON. ]

[adornmental]

I can still walk on my own.

[Is what he says, but he still ends up leaning on her a little. Fortunately, his new jacket is pretty thick and he's not bleeding enough for it to soak through the fabric.]

[flaredo]

I know. [ DRY. ] It's why I'm not carrying you.

[adornmental]

[LOOK you sassmageddon... There's a little inelegant snort that's probably laughter.]

I mean, I can walk fine without leaning.

[flaredo]

Hate to break it to you, Kashuu, but you're kind of already leaning.

[ Rather lightly, but still. ]

[adornmental]

Er—

[SHE'S NOT WRONG. He's able to straighten himself out once it's pointed out, at least...]

Sorry. I'm okay, it's just like- ["medium damage" is what he almost says, but that would probably not make much sense and he doesn't actually want to give away that he's hurt, SO:] -some stuff I need to get buffed out.

[flaredo]

Buffed out? Did you get dented?

[ How does this being a human sword thing work again-- ]

[adornmental]

[A PAUSE and then the big dumb hood moves in a nod.]

Yeah, kinda. Some things happened a little too fast for me to keep track of.

[What an apt description of being in battle.]

[flaredo]

... So doesn't that mean you actually need medical attention?

[ KASHUU... ]

[adornmental]

[LOOK HE WAS TRYING TO STEP AROUND IT.]

Um. [?!? Why wasn't he born craftier and better at lying...] Not really... That stuff's for humans.

[flaredo]

Okay, so what works for swords? Do you change back into your pointier self and get nice and hammered?

[ Literally?? SHE'S ACTUALLY QUITE CONCERNED. ]
