Day 15

[pandatrash]

[There are really only two important things to note about Day 15:

One, your tablet informs you that there's a killing night tonight! Tonight we're back to normal; only one murder, please!

And two, there is shitty prepackaged deli sushi in kitchen. So uh, y'know. Enjoy that.]

[ There's definitely a knock at that door for you, Ichigo! Don't think she wasn't going to visit, because she is and she always will come and visit. Especially now. ]

[suppressthedark]

[Give him a second - he startles a moment from the light sleep he was in, wiping his mouth before limping over to the door and opening it.

At the very least, he doesn't look so absolutely broken - absolutely tired, yes, but not broken - and he smiles down at her before going back inside to grab his wheelchair and wheel himself out, shutting the door as gently as he can behind him.]

Hey, Illya. Mind if we talk out here?

[Akira's still sleeping inside, after all.]

[worldcup]

I don't mind, Ichigo.

[ She can't help but smile right back at him with a rather peaceful smile of her own. ]

Are you feeling better?

[suppressthedark]

[Oh good - he always likes it when she smiles.

Ichigo chuckles just a little at the question, shrugging - and then wincing as the new stitches in his shoulder complain at the movement.]

Ah, well - ow - I'm not doing the greatest physically, but I'm in a better place than I was yesterday.

[The glories of shonen pep-talks, man.]

What about you?

[worldcup]

I'm doing alright. Better than most people here, anyway. But I'm glad, because as your ally, I need to make sure that you're okay.

[suppressthedark]

My ally...?

[He's surprised for a second, then just reaches out to ruffle the top of her head fondly.]

You're my ally too, Illya. That's why I've also got to make sure you're alright.

[...]

Have you had any of the sushi down in the kitchen yet?

[worldcup]

I'm... not really in the mood for sushi.

[ So no, she hasn't. ]

[suppressthedark]

[Hey, he tried.]

Yeah, good call - it's pretty sweet. I just grabbed some because that way no one would have to cook anything for us.

[Like they have been since he and Akira went into the hell room, probably.]

Besides, I'm not sure anything beyond the cooked ingredients are safe to eat.

[FUCKING....RACCOONS...]

[worldcup]

I've mostly been just making sandwiches myself.

[ Because those are easy and safe. She doesn't mind eating other people's cooking, though. ]

[suppressthedark]

...You're gonna have some nutritional issues if you don't eat something else, Illya.

[Please at least have some orange juice...]

[worldcup]

...you think so?

[ This is Illya's 'I've never had to deal with that before' face. ]

[suppressthedark]

My dad's a doctor, so I know so. At least try and get vitamin C in your diet - there's orange juice down in the kitchen, which is a pretty easy source of it. I know Rin'll also make food for you if you ask him - and if he bitches about it, just tell him to take it up with me.

[Must take care of imouto...]

[worldcup]

I'll remember that, onii-chan.

[ That sounds kind of... ominous? ] But I'll at least drink the orange juice.

[suppressthedark]

[God how ominous...It's like he can see the telltale games sentence pop up in the upper corner of his eye.]

Alright - I just want you to be healthy while we're stuck here. You know, unlike me.

[And just. points at the bandages over the left side of his face.]

[worldcup]

Well, once I get my powers back, I might be able to help you a little bit... unless you don't want me to.

[suppressthedark]

Would it involve you giving up your life to heal me?

[BECAUSE.

He remembers their conversations before, and he definitely doesn't want that.]

[worldcup]

For something that simple? It wouldn't.

[suppressthedark]

...Then...I guess it'd be alright.

[He just wanted to make sure, okay...Although, considering what she's said about her world -]

...Uh, what would you do for this?

[worldcup]

Nothing much, really. Just the mana from the land.

[suppressthedark]

[I mean.

Sounds fine, then? So long as it doesn't hurt her in return, he's alright with it.]

Yeah, then I'd be okay with it. It'd be nice to not have to deal with letting these heal normally.

[He doesn't mention his eye, because he just assumes that's gone. Asking for mana from the land isn't like Orihime's rejection powers, right?]

[worldcup]

Then I'll help you. My magecraft is pretty powerful, after all.

[ She's pretty much the strongest magus in all of Fuyuki, really. ]

[suppressthedark]

I believe you.

[He smiles, gently - and reaches out to ruffle the top of her head again.]

So I know I'm in good hands if you're the one healing me.

[worldcup]

... I'm glad. That you believe me. I really appreciate it, in fact.
