"Damn..." whispered Kyo, reaching out to grasp Dark's shoulder firmly. "Sorry you had to see that, man. What are the odds of running into a murder? Things just keep getting worse. Sometimes I think, neither Wanderers nor Humans deserve to inherit the Earth."
After the years and years Kyo had to cultivate his wide array of different masks for different situations, he had become a prolific and proficient actor. Maybe one day he would tell Dark who the man behind the mask was, but that day would not be upon him for a very long time.

"Not really." said Kyo uncertainly, scrutinising Dark.
Seeing any kind of weakness in his friend, emotional or physical, was a completely alien phenomenon.
"In all the years we've known each other, you've never really mentioned your past. I know what it's like to hold your cards close to the chest though, don't worry. What happened in the city?" he said quickly, changing the subject so as to not make Dark feel as if he had to divulge the surely tragic details of his past.

"It's fine," said Kyo genuinely, waving his hand passively. "How are you doing?" he added in a concerned voice.
The irony was not lost on him. He knew full well that he was the one in the hospital wing, wrapped in bandages that covered horrific burns, but Dark and Kyo had both been friends long enough for them to know that mental scarring could be much worse than its physical counterpart. Of the two souls remaining in the room, it was possible that the one without the burns was in more pain.

"Can't I have guests over?" he pleaded to Mei. "Hell, he has some first aid experience, running with the Guardians and what not. I actually feel guilty with you wasting an evening like this, so let him take over. He owes me a few favours too so I'm sure he won't mind. Right, Dark?"
Kyo gave Mei a warm and encouraging smile in order to convince her that she could take a break. He turned his head to flash Dark the very same smile, a simple protocol for avoiding the arousal of suspicion in Mei's perception, surreptitiously creating a telepathic link with him.
"You owe me, asshole, just roll with it!" said his annoyed voice in Dark's head.

Kyo opened his mouth to reply to her but, with serendipitous timing, Dark entered the room. Kyo acknowledged him with a curt nod before returning his attention to Mei.
"How did I get this bad?" he repeated, hopefully not making it too obvious that the mimicry was for Dark's benefit. "It was just... an accident. My fault."
Kyo understood that revealing the true nature of his injuries would indict Dark as a sadist. It would also portray him as a weak fool. Both things were unacceptable to say in the open, especially in front of present company.

Until Carolyn grows out of her bossy boots demeanor, she'll still hate everyone, especially people who get in her way when she's scolding someone else. Carolyn likes deferential and submissive people: she's best around sycophants!

Carolyn watched Jacob leave with a small frown on her face. Although she had a very meagre opinion of him, suddenly made worse by his juvenile tantrum, perhaps he had a point. She did find it hard to empathise with others, especially when they didn't defer to her authority.

By now, Cancer had begun his obscene rant against her, finally dropping the word 'cunt' on her as if it was a verbal nuke. She surveyed him carefully, the silence stretching out awkwardly as her own impassive face gazed at her through the dual visors on Cancer's skull mask-helmet.

She could give him two months worth of detentions. She could even grab the finger he was flipping her off with and break it in half. What she did not think she was capable of doing, however, was turning on her heel and walking away.

To her great surprise, she did just that.

Kyo reflected on the uncertainty of her words and the hesitant cadence of her voice. His spirits weren't set soaring but he appreciated experiencing the kindness of a stranger first-hand.

"Guess that'll teach me to save puppies from burning buildings, huh?" he joked half-heartedly, his gaze drifting from Mei's eyes and back to the ceiling.

Edited my last post to include Carolyn reacting to Jacob, seems we both posted around the same time!

At his last remark, it took every ounce of Carolyn's willpower to not punch a hole through Cancer's helmet and send Kyo another visitor.

"I am personally going to make sure you get kicked out of here and I mean that." she threatened resolutely. "I am going to use every single bit of my clout to make sure you're out of here. I have no idea how they let someone as batshit crazy as you are into these hallowed grounds."

It seemed as if today, judging by the arrival of Jacob, was a test designed for her by the heavens. If she managed to go through the day without committing the same crime Kyo had, she would consider it a victory.

"Don't lecture me, Joseph." she spat at Jacob. "The last thing I need right now is to deal with this fucking psychopath and a pompous army brat."

"Yeah..." mumbled Kyo, his mind not entirely certain on whether he should laugh or not. After a few seconds of deliberation, though, he started chortling (and coughing) again.
"How bad is it?" he asked gently, once his laughter had subsided.

Kyo regarded her with a confused look, wondering if she wasn't entirely certain how White Magic worked or if she simply thought he was too inept to create anything other than a solid healing mask.
"You can, just... Ohhhhh." he said, comprehension dawning on what was left of his face. "It's too bright. Well, you look like you could use some sunlight."
His amused chortling soon turned to pained coughing as the mask completely dissipated, his hand waving lamentably in a way that was supposed to imply an apology.
