The Hell Just Happened?

[seiyayamada]

After texting Miho, Seiya payed for their lunch and escorted Greg to the outside of Miho's building. After all that had just transpired: the mirror, the little girl, the giant bruise, it was no wonder people were giving her a strange look. Hobbling like she'd just been in the war, Seiya leaned against the wall for support. "She should be down any minute."

Greg stayed standing, he was more comfortable at the moment that way, and reached up to rub at his chin with that question. "I guess it is. Uh... More dangerous, though. Probably not good to think of it like that." That wasn't to say he wouldn't be thinking that way, too, though. The boy found himself staring at the ceiling in thought. "It's probably still dangerous. For you and me, uh, I meant. My reflection was different the other day in the elevator, Miho-san. I don't know if you've seen anything other than yourself, but that means I'm potentially at risk."

With a sigh he looked back down to Miho, outwardly seeming more annoyed than afraid at that possibility. "I'm alone at home most afternoons, so we'll just hope not, huh?"

“Don't worry, G-san. I'll give you my cellphone number. If you get into trouble... Seiya-chan and I will protect you, okay?” She offered him a bright smile. It seemed like she was all cheer again now that they were safe – also, she was completely serious! She was vowing to protect him!

"Oh... Uh, sure. I can give you mine..." Gregory pulled out his phone, moving to the contacts screen and then getting Miho's number. He got her home number, too, just in case! She was given his as well, and then he returned the phone to his pocket. Greg would get Seiya's later, after she'd woken up...

He wasn't sure on all this vow of protection business! Still, it'd be weird not to make the same promise, so... "Yeah... I'll, uh, I'll protect you guys too. The best I can, anyway." Greg really needed to find a weapon. Maybe right now... "... Uh. I should go, I think. Unless you need me here?"

“Umm. Nope! I guess not. Not unless you want to hang out.” Her head tilted slightly. “Though, aha, maybe it’s a weird time for casual get togethers? I don’t know~. If you want to go, you can go. I don’t mind!” Miho nodded assuringly as she absently sunk back into the couch (it was big enough for Seiya to lie on and probably for Miho to lie on too if she wanted to). “I mean, um.. I could make a snack, maybe..”

Greg shrugged, noncommittal as always, and then leaned over to pull his impressively bloodied jacket off of Seiya. Yep, it was ruined! Oh well, he had more at home... "I probably should, uh, yeah. Make my way home, that is. The weather said it was going to rain today, I don't wanna take my chances." It was already misting outside, just a bit, and it'd probably just get worse from there.

Poor Miho wouldn't have much of a chance to protest, because he was on his way to the door already! The boy gave her a small wave and then stepped out with a lot on his mind. It'd be an interesting trip home.

J..jeez. Miho sunk into her couch, waving a hand absently to Gregory as he left. Her eyes drifted shut a bit and she sighed. What a day, what a day! That had been terrifying, but kind of cool. “What’re we going to do, Seiya-chan…?” Even though her senpai was sleeping.

As Miho sat down beside her, Seiya regained consciousness, sitting up slowly. Cradling her hand, she let out a little pained huff.

"S'going on? How long was I out?"

[terminalshow]

"Oh! Oh, heey." Miho looked rather relieved to see Seiya awake! She was a bit of a worrywart, after all. "Umm, hm, not too long. Maybe ten, twenty minutes? G-san left already.. He looked kind of out of it, aha. How're you feelin'?"

[seiyayamada]

"Very tired." She flashed a weak smile, hoping to at least make Miho believe she was fine. "Thanks for... yanno." She waved her bandaged hand, "This."

[terminalshow]

"Of course! It's the least I could do, right?" She returned the smile as she shoved some of her hair behind her ear. "Don't worry about it. You saved us, and all.. That was crazy- Um! Do you want some tea? Or food? Maybe you should sleep." Worrywart.
