[D2!Haseo's in the Plane's bar, and looks pretty worn out right now. Not injured or anything, but just...tired. Of note is the fact that she's dressed in semi-formal wear (read: belts at a minimum, and even wearing a nice jacket) and is carrying a creased piece of paper that she looks at every now and then.

Whatever's on the paper keeps making her look more and more concerned...or downright angry.

Eventually, she just puts it in one of the pockets in her jacket and goes to get herself a drink of water, muttering to herself as she does.]

[Tsukasa's at the bar, resting his head against the bar itself. His hat is off, and his hair looks kind of dirty.]

[Doesn't notice you for a second. Mumble, grumble, grumble - and now she goes back to her seat with her water.

And there's a ninja!Wavemaster at the bar too. Huh.]

...H'lo. [Nods, gets seat, proceeds to drink some water.]

[Waaaants to wallow in self-pity and such but Subaru said to be nice to people. Or something. So he lifts his head up and blinks.]

Hi.

... Something up?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

[Tenses slightly at that question, but...mm, it wouldn't hurt to say it. Right? Sips the water again for a second before answering in a carefully neutral tone.]

Aunt's in the hospital. [And another sip of water.]

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

... I'm sorry. What happened?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

She's...well, she's always been kinda ill. She's been in the hospital a lot, so I guess it was just a matter of time until she went back again. First time I've ever had to deal with it, though. [Rubs the back of her head for a moment. ...hey, Tsukie looks kinda worn down too.] What happened to you, anyway?

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

Oh. [Hm.]

[Looks a little surprised that she asked.] Ah... some people who were reading the message boards too much decided to go out and try to track me down. They think I know where some sort of rare item or something is... and they tried to corner me in the snow.

They were stronger than I thought.

[Discussing sick relative in hospital =/= good times. And the dirty hair's kinda obvious and, well, not a normal thing, one would hope.]

...Oh, ouch. You gonna be okay?

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

I'll be fine. I managed to warp out of there before anything too bad happened.

... But I slipped, so that's why my hair's dirty.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Oh. I see. [Sips water.] So it's not some kind of awful injury or anything. That's good.

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I have healing spells, anyway.

[Puts his hat back on.]

Besides... your aunt being in the hospital... have you been all right?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. A'right then.

Yeah, I have been. Not much going on where I'm from, aside from, well, what usually goes on there.

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

I guess that's good.

... Are you hungry?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

...Hungry? No, I don't think so. Why d' you ask?

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

Just wondering. I could cook for you if you were.

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

Haseo? Did something happen?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Hm? [Looks over - oh, hey, it's...] Oh, hey, Martha. [Stares at glass of water for a moment.] Aunt's in the hospital. First time I've had to deal with it myself, so...there you go. [Sips water.]

[taughtmedicine.livejournal.com]

[Martha's eyes widen] I'm sorry.

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

Her health isn't the best, so this happens kinda often. I - guess. Still. [Runs one finger along the rim of her glass, obviously trying to seem calm when she kinda isn't.]

[hesitates, then takes a seat beside her, deciding to make an attempt at comfort]

One of the plus sides of chronic illness is the familiarity. It isn't happy, but it means the doctors know more about the problem and how to deal with it, and the patient is familiar with the process. Now that she's in hospital, she has the best of chances for recovery.
