[holy hell

So yes, just--slumping where she is, today has been So Much. She'll thank Pink when she feels less like...this, hurgh]

[Shrugs the thanks off casually(?? lordy)]

Nobody asked me.

I know, I'm sorry. We made some... genie mistakes.

But I'm grateful anyway.

[Wow I hope Cobalt-san didn't genie himself into a grinder or something then...]

Sure.. I mean we were technically offering the service anyway, for immunity or whatever, but uh... usually ya don't want anybody ta be in pieces before we do our thing...

... yeah. We didn't get a choice, it just dropped you on us.

At least he's got crazy powers ta compensate...

Ah--I told Red-san I'd mention she's around if I ran inta anyone else on Azrael. She starts off at the beach.

... don't think I've ever been to a beach... but okay. Cool.

Left from the place with all the holes in the ground, right from the city with the crowd.

Anyway--!

...

Can you, like-- can you do the thing? The thing you did to Hurricane. Can you do it to all of us?

[Kind of slurred a little:]

...sorry.

Sure, don't worry about it.

I know you guys aren't like - into it? The revive thing.

But thanks for the assist.

It's really just all the stuff surrounding it... [makes a vague gesture]

But yeah, glad ya have options apparently, when it comes ta.. [another vague head-off gesture]

...yeah. Henshin's good for that kinda thing.

[sometime later, after at least making sure hurricane's ~~in one piece~~ ~~done losing his head~~ more-or-less okay]

Uh. Thanks for this. Even if it was just 'cause some magic bullshit. It could've been so much worse.

Uh, really...? [IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE??]

I guess--people can survive with your power no matter what, right? If he'd just--come back--detached--

[folds and refolds her arms tight against her middle]

--Just--thanks, okay?

Sure. You guys seem ta be uh... running inta a lot. Need a mental break from it? Best I've got.

[ gently strokes her back, careful of any hidden wounds ]

He's okay, Kitty. We're all gonna be okay.

[takes in a shuddery breath--has nothing worth saying, so keeps quiet. most certainly seems to appreciate the effort however]

[ Shuffles up against her side while she pets-- not leaning, but just offering something solid for nem when or if she wants. ]

[It's a few more breaths before she can keep her shoulders from being quite so rigid, and many more than that before she chances sagging against her, a little]

[ req's just... shivering at a low constant, but she wraps her arm around nem and holds her, firmly. ]

[It's another while before Nemesis can move to do the same, but she does, eventually, since--yeah, this was really really bad? 1/10, do not recommend]

[ leans more heavily into that when she does, burying her nose in her hair. ]

... we're gonna make it. I'm gonna find you both every time. Promise.
