122. Circumstances

[corrinesbell]

[To think it was just a regular day.

Sheena stumbles her way around from the back of house 18. One arm is braced against the outside wall of the house, the other useless. It's a slow, staggering kind of walk. When she runs out of house, she manages to move just a few more feet, into the road, before crashing to the ground again. Mercifully, her journal comes loose from where she had carried it at her waist, and ends up open, pages face down.

It's just out of her reach; her fingertips brush against it but she can't turn it over. Maybe having it open is enough]

I-I...need help. ...Please.

[[ooc: Follows almost immediately after this log, meaning it's Thursday up in here. The log is unfinished so far but we wanted to avoid some insane backdating/the chance that LJ murders itself again. So!]]

[Well... no harm in checking, then. Stella folds her hands in her lap and leans forward a little to whisper:]

Sheena?

[the ninja does give a little start, half-opening her eyes at first just to see who's there.

When she recognizes Stella, they open all the way and she half-smiles.]

Hey.

[Stella smiles in return, though it's a little strained. It just... it hurts to see her lying there like that. But now that she's awake, Stella reaches out to take her hand and squeeze it gently.]

Hi... How are you feeling?

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

A lot better now.

[and she squeezes back]

Sorry if...I scared you.

It's all right... It wasn't your fault.

[At least, she's sure it isn't. But on that matter...]

What happened?

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

...Someone attacked me.

[Stella shuts her eyes and lets out a long, quiet breath. That's what she thought... but still, hearing it out loud...]

Who?

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

You can't...try to get him, if I tell you. Promise.

I don't like the idea of revenge... But I do want to protect you, and myself, should they try to attack again. So... who was it?

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

[it still takes her a few minutes to decide whether to tell Stella or not.]

Somebody...from my world, named Mithos.

['attack again' isn't something she had thought of in terms of being in the clinic. She was vulnerable here. Even though she was pretty sure he'd come after her because she was there at the wrong time...one never really knew.]
