It is done. The other is gone.

I'd rather see you and make sure you're okay.

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

I'll be home after I stop at Medical. Please give me a minute to get presentable.

quicklog?

[kleptomonkey.livejournal.com]

Okay. Want me to pick up dinner?

please

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

Please, could you?

Quicklog!

[kleptomonkey.livejournal.com]

Sure.

[and she goes to get dinner---a salad thing and a chicken she got one of her other friends to cook. It takes her a few hours, but Dani comes home and starts getting supper ready. She also puts away the extra groceries she bought, muttering about silly Juliets and stubborn roomies-slash-....whatever they were]

[Juliet had stepped in when she was out, cleaning the blood off him and taking a nap. He stirred a while later, and noticed that his bloodstained clothes were beyond saving, and he got up to go hide them in the trash, still having folded them neatly and portable.

Oh. Dani was back.]

[kleptomonkey.livejournal.com]

[Dani turned around when she heard footsteps, relaxing when she saw it was just Julie.

And then she spotted the clothes in his hand]

....Julie?

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

[Damn. No way to hide them or the bandage on his arm. He bit his lip.]

Hi Dani.

[kleptomonkey.livejournal.com]

I thought you said you were fine!

[And she's mad. Madder.]

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

[Oh no. She's mad.]

I am! I am fine.

[kleptomonkey.livejournal.com]

[she gestures to the clothes and the blood]

That's not the definition of 'fine'!

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

[He frowns and holds them closer]

Barely any of this is my blood.

[kleptomonkey.livejournal.com]

Then where did it come from? And what happened to your arm?

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

The twin. And it got my arm with its scythe.

[kleptomonkey.livejournal.com]

[With a small, annoyed, worried sigh, Dani grabs Juliet, tosses his clothes into the trash, and grabs the first aid kit]

We'll burn 'em later. How bad is it?

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

Not bad...

[It's a deep slash, though.]

[kleptomonkey.livejournal.com]

[She looks at it, bites her lip, and starts undoing the old wrapping to get him some new, fresh ones]

Fro teth'd oui mad sa ramb, Julie E luimty gabd drec vnus rybbahehk...

[[ooc:Why didn't you let me help, Julie? I coulda kept this from happening...]]

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

[He may have no idea of what it means, but he can read the worry in her voice.]

It savaged my coworker. I wasn't even going to remotely consider putting you in a bad space.

[kleptomonkey.livejournal.com]

But I could've helped! I've fought before! ...Not here, but one of my memories involved fighting and I saw a sorta claw thing in my hand so I'm pretty sure I fought a lot.

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

[He looks down, his hair like a curtain]

It's not just the twin I wanted to protect you from.

[kleptomonkey.livejournal.com]

Who else was there, Juliet? Did you let someone else help you fight him off?

[She's worried, but finishes wrapping his arm]</small

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

...You saw my clothes. To kill with that violence...I can't say for certain I wouldn't have turned on you.

[kleptomonkey.livejournal.com]

[He's got a point, and she's none too happy about it. With a sigh, Cecdan just wraps Juliet in a hug]

I'd've been fine, Julie. I've been practicing making explosives--I'd've stayed back and bombed the guy while you went after him.

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

And if I had turned on you, would you have bombed me?

[He relaxes with the hug, though.]

[kleptomonkey.livejournal.com]

...No. I couldn't, unless y'asked me to. And then it'd still be hard. I...[She stops, confused as to what she wants to say]
