[h2][center]Alter Ego — Meltryllis[/center][/h2]
It was, admittedly, a bit surprising that Nanako had decided to head outside today rather than order food; the purple-haired Alter Ego had fully expected her to dawdle about in her room—doubly so, given her injury—but at this point she supposed that there was no point in pushing for her to stay behind. In many ways, escorting her to whatever place she decided she wanted to eat at was likely safer than playing rooftop guard again. As much as she wanted to get a better feel for her surroundings, Meltryllis had to admit: it was a lot easier marking locations mentally at ground level despite an aerial view making scoping out the area far easier.

Well, that and the fact that those skyscrapers made it difficult to move about without being spotted. She still despised the prosthetic limnbs that Nanako had forced her to use in public, but at this point, it was better than drawing more unneeded attention at this point.

"Fine, fine," she complained, materializing the prosthetic limbs in question before standing back up. "I'll keep you to that promise, then. I'm not going to let you get away with doing anything rash, though, so do keep that in mind."

A few days ago, going along with her Master like this would be near-intolerable, but at this point, there was some semblance of obligation to at least keep her alive. As blockheaded as she had been, it would have been unbecoming of her to let her get into trouble after going so far as to throw herself in front of an arrow like that.

"I'll wait until you're ready. You're the one in need here, not me."
