I upset Neku, again, because I'm apparently too indecisive and can't realize that the world doesn't think the same way I do, and I don't know what to say to make him feel better about me still liking him. Haruki punched Minato in the face because he got annoyed Minato was asking too many questions probably and he's suddenly being as affectionate as a Suzumiya can get. And now Minamimoto attacked Minato? What the hell do I have to do to fix everything!? I just want everything to go back to normal...well and maybe Minamimoto eliminated, but we'll take care of that.

What does he want anyway? He shot Minato and broke his arm. He's got a bigger plan, but what is it?

UGH.

I know it's been about a week and some of you have already talked to me about this, but um, if you were shot with that gun Rosalie had and we did something you didn't like, feel free to come back to the shop and we'll fix it but you know, I never make people look ugly so...

Tifa, I did finish your blouses whenever you're ready. They're at the shop right now. Speaking of the shop, Kanji, MJ, Rosalie? We should figure out some kind of work schedule you know? I'll be around full-time again in about two weeks but it'd help to have a schedule anyway.

I've figured out...the weather's pretty bipolar here or something.

Oh and um...anybody wondering, I should probably mention that Minato's going to be a little...off for a while.

Whatever you're doing, we'll figure it out and we'll stop you, again.

[Shiki is actually currently sitting in the clinic in Minato's room to make sure he doesn't leave again before he's supposed to like he did last time. Housemates feel free to assume she didn't come home last night. Also, she's assuming that Mitsuru told Aegis/Fina/whoever about Minato's condition so she's not going to bother saying it, if anything so unnecessary people like Minamimoto don't show up or something. Who knows where her brain goes.]

He showed up after you left.

[action]

[so_shik]

[jumps a little because shoot totally didn't know you were awake] Don't do that, you scared the crap out of me!

...what do you mean he showed up after I left?

[action]

[emp3thy]

[a sort of apologetic turn of the head. What, he thought you were talking to him.]

Teleported.

[action]

[so_shik]

[nah, turning his head back to look at him directly] I can't believe this. Why?

[action]

[emp3thy]

[What is with her grabbing his face lately. But he doesn't try and turn away again.]

He took the evoker.

[action]

[so_shik]

[get used to it, she's even keeping her hand there so he can't look away] ...no. How'd he get a hold of it!?

[action]

[emp3thy]

[> ... ]

Broke my arm.

[action]

[so_shik]

...oh. Right.

How does your arm feel?

[action]

[emp3thy]

Like it's broken.

[action]

[so_shik]

...your tendency to be literal isn't cute right now, you know.

[action]

[emp3thy]

The painkillers are working.

[action]

[so_shik]

[just kind of gives him a grin and shrugs] That's better than not working, isn't it?

[action]

[emp3thy]

Much.

[action]

[so_shik]

You're not completely all there, are you?

[action]

[emp3thy]

[...he shakes his head. It's kind of foggy.]

[action]

[so_shik]

[okay, kind of giggles a bit because you don't get this sort of experience every day. Minato's usually so collected and thinking clearly] That's okay, Aegis will be here soon and she'll take care of you.

[action]

[emp3thy]

Mm.

[and have a smile. A real one; not that his smiles aren't always real, but they're usually subdued like everything else he does.]

[action]

[so_shik]

[...Minato you are so precious right now. Shiki's just gonna pat him on the head and sit back] Do you want me to grab you anything? You've been sleeping on and off most of the day.

[action]

[emp3thy]

Water?

[he's not sure his stomach can handle food right now.]

[action]

[so_shik]

Sure. [gets out of her chair and grabs her crutches] Be right back. [heading out now to grab him some water]

[action]

[emp3thy]

[and he'll wait, watching her hobble her way back in the room on the crutches.]

Between us, we make a whole person.

[action]

[so_shik]

[quirks an eyebrow] Why, because I have both arms and you have both legs? [settles in her chair again and hands over a bottle of water she snagged from next door at Seventh Heaven]

[action]

[emp3thy]

Yes.

[...you're going to need to help him sit up.]

[action]

[so_shik]

...you're gonna choke if you don't sit up. Make sure I don't accidentally hurt you somehow okay? [busies herself helping Minato sit up, propping a bunch of pillows behind him]

[action]

[emp3thy]

[It's been a while since he had someone fuss over him while he was sick. ...Besides Aegis, anyway. He doesn't resist as she moves him, then takes the water left-handed.]
