066: Vengeance is Sleeping

[contract_star]

[Hei appears on the Plane a day or two after this. He's bandaged and his arm is in a sling, but aside from that he seems to be alright. He's currently in the kitchen, attempting to eat ramen with one hand while poring over a map of Sapporo.]

[If ever anyone wanted to sneak up on Hei and see what happens, now's the time--his hearing is still pretty shot.]

[So go figure who walks up RIGHT BEHIND HIM, all too used to Hei turning when he was still a few paces away]

Dare I ask?

[contract_star]

[Hei lurches forward and almost drops his ramen. Fortunately he's still a ninja, so he manages to get a grip on it and set it aside, turning to face Mu.]

Don't sneak up on me like that.

[lamb_of_gold]

....Hei, I was making no effort to be quiet.

[contract_star]

...Yeah, no, I didn't think you were.

[lamb_of_gold]

Then why was I successful?

[Dino's going to be wandering in to the kitchen looking thoughtful, only to pause when he sees Hei] What happened to you?

[contract_star]

[Hei doesn't hear Dino until he actually speaks.] Oh...not much, really.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Glances at Hei's arm] That's 'not much'?

[contract_star]

It was only dislocated.

{She never really had an express desire to, but she greets Hei by an affectionate hug from behind}

Ne, Hei, what did you do to yourself this time?

[contract_star]

[He hears her coming once she's a few feet behind him, but he's not at all prepared for the hug. He stiffens and then flails a little, reaching automatically for a knife until he sees who it is.]

Diva, holy shit...

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Ne, such bad language! I'm surprised, Hei. But I guess it was you that was surprised, wasn't it? You can put the knife down.

[contract_star]

[Give him a second for his heart to start beating again.] Ah...sorry... [He puts the knife away.] Force of habit. You just startled me is all.

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[Guess who shall be marching up to you in a rather determined manner from behind, Hei! (and talking fairly loudly, oops)] Hello there! Look, I need some advice.

[contract_star]

[SWEET CHRIST. He whirls, almost dropping his ramen and actually dropping his map.]

Juni, what the hell...

[swanseer.livejournal.com]

[She just stares at him for a moment before smiling innocently] Well, I usually drop the 'what the hell' in the company of friends but feel free to use it whenever you wish.

[contract_star]

...Sorry, I...you just startled me.

[Sam will not surprise Hei; he'll grab yoghurt from the fridge because he forgot to go shopping last week]

--Hei?

[contract_star]

[Hei only looks up when he hears the refrigerator door open.] Oh, hello Sam.

[didorothy]

[nodding to the arm as he puts a spoon into his yoghurt for delicious eating]

What happened?

[contract_star]

[Smirk that's half bitter and half sheepish.] It's a long story.

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

[Oh hello. Have a wavemaster walking up to you and peering at you curiously.]

What happened?

[contract_star]

[He looks up at the sound of the voice.]

Oh...just a bit of trouble back home is all.

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

[Thiiiiinks for a moment. Doesn't know this person, but strangers helped him out, so...]

... Do you want me to cast a healing spell on you?

[contract_star]

Ah...thanks, but that won't be necessary. I'm healing on my own just fine.
