84. [voiced/action]

[corrinesbell]

[at first all that can be heard are muffled sounds of crying]

Zelos...you idiot.

[and the sounds continue. There's nothing else to say]

[...except that, as Sheena went absolutely overboard after Zelos, she isn't in any kind of good shape. She managed to make it from the site of the battle halfway to somewhere; she'd been separated from the group when she got angry, not wanting to have to look at him lying there. Long story short she's just on the ground somewhere sobbing and bleeding]

[Genis is waiting at House 42's sitting room, having been forcibly sent home by Raine after she'd seen how physically and mentally exhausted Genis had gotten over the course of the fight. Seeing as he left shortly before what happened to Zelos, he's rather surprised to hear something like this from his ninja friend.]

Sheena? You okay...?

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

[either she can't answer or she just doesn't want to. But she is still crying]

[Voice]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

[And this alarms him.]

... Sheena, what happened?

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

[after a while she'll gather enough of herself to sort of answer]

Zelos...

[Voice]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

[His mind is putting two and two together, but at the same time, trying not to imagine the worst and convincing himself not to jump to hasty conclusions.]

Zelos? What did that idiot do this time?

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

[she doesn't want to say it out loud. And not to Genis, for sure]

[Voice]

[Her refusal to answer confirms his suspicions, and he falls silent as well. But as much as he said he disliked Zelos, this was...]

... I-if I'd stayed just a little longer, maybe-...

[Lloyd just fell asleep after the battle like he was, exhausted, so he still looks absolutely terrible. Good thing blood doesn't show on red. Either way... he's searching for her.]

[corrinesbell]

[it's not like she's going anywhere or will even see or hear him coming]

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

[well, he's calling for her.]

Sheena! Hey!

[corrinesbell]

[she hears that. ...But facing Lloyd is harder than just kind of lying here so she's going to just kind of lie there]

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

Sheena... [It's a good thing purple ninja clothes stand out against mud. He approaches and kneels beside her.] ...Where are you hurt?

[Because she is obviously not okay. None of them are.]

[corrinesbell]

[he's not going to get an answer. ...Okay, she might curl up a little tighter. It's already bad enough to be crying like this in front of Lloyd on top of everything else. Not that she's really thinking about anything besides what happened to Zelos]

[Stella heard that, and it doesn't take her long to get out of the house and search for Sheena. Her left arm is in a sling, but otherwise, she doesn't seem to be injured.

First, she'll check her house. She knocks and calls out softly.] Sheena...?

[corrinesbell]

[can hear you calling but can't really answer all that loudly]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[If the door's open, she'll be going inside to check. Can she get in there?]

[corrinesbell]

[yeah, probably. The door to her bedroom will be left open too, as a 'just in case' kind of thing. She's in bed, hopefully no longer muddy and all that]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[Stella pushes open that door then, and she peeks inside. Yup, Sheena's there. Good. She'll slowly step inside.] Sheena...

[corrinesbell]

[she's probably still been crying too, actually. Or at least looks like she was for a while]

Mmm.

[emerald-archive.livejournal.com]

Princess...? Hey, where are ya?

[corrinesbell]

Home.

[emerald-archive.livejournal.com]

D'ya need help? Are ya hurt?

[corrinesbell]

[yes? no? ...Hurt is hard to define, see...]

I don't need help.

[emerald-archive.livejournal.com]

Doesn't sound like that's the case. I'm gonna come over, okay?

[corrinesbell]

...Sure.
