Could be askin' you the same thing.

[ actually she would cut first and ask questions later, so maybe it is better that lovelace said it first.

anyway hi baiken is here and she also has a new outfit. she is covered in grime, and what would very well be interpreted as bloodsplatter, along with a more mysterious pale goopy splatter. it's fine don't worry about it. still got a katana tho so that's cool. ]

[thematics]

[ smiles? and lowers the gun. ]

... Isabel Lovelace.

[kabari]

Baiken.

[ since her FACE IS WRAPPED UP clearly you can't tell by the eyepath and the hair. and the. the tits.

but her tone indicates that yeah we cool this is cool there's no murderstabbing happening! yay! ]

[riverbeans]

[waves]

Hey, Baiken.

[kabari]

Oh. You're here.

[ THIS ISN'T BAD JUST ???????? ]

[riverbeans]

I sure am. Surprise.

[kabari]

Sure hate surprises.

...You've looked better.

[riverbeans]

Ah, right, I remember you saying that.

[he shrugs.]

None of the blood's mine, at least. [a beat] Wait, I guess some of it is. Most of it isn't.

[kabari]

That's not really a consolation in a place like this.

[riverbeans]

I have yet to explode, so that's another victory.

[kabari]

There's still time.

[riverbeans]

Haha...

[kabari]

Don't just laugh, you idiot!

[riverbeans]

Hey, I'm coping. Besides, keeping my spirits up is probably why I haven't, uh, "ragequit" as Shoma put it.

[kabari]

[solesuccess]

...hey. [ nailed it. ]

[kabari]

Hey. [ they're doing great. ] You listenin' to the adults? Throné might be able to take care of that. [ THE SHOULDER? WOUND?? ]

[solesuccess]

[ shrugs the non-stabbed shoulder. ]

I think we have an understanding, yeah. Throné can heal?

[kabari]

I guess so. Ichiban and I sure can't.

[solesuccess]

What do yours do then?

[kabari]

The opposite of heal, kid.

[solesuccess]

[ a pause. ]

Did it help with whatever you just went through?

[kabari]

...Yeah. Guess that's why we made it all the way here. [ hm. ]

[solesuccess]

Yeah. Same with us. [ so that's not promising for anybody. ]
