5th Metal / open video

[ The video turns on Zane, who is somewhat disheveled, but, to the discerning eye, different than usual. Something too intent and high-strung has been muted, and there is a dangerous hint in his eyes. ]

Cassel is... hurt.

Someone needs to collect him.

Level 4, Cabin 12.

[ And video off. ]

[ ACTION SPAM (edited to add) ]

[ And now Zane is in zero.

He sits alone, arms crossed over his chest, his face hard and blank.

Come and visit! ]

It's cool.

[Aaaand Cassel's crouched against the back wall, still bent over with blood on his mouth. He also doesn't look scared at all, despite looking completely exhausted.]

Hi, Kon.

[Kon eyes the guy in front of him, taking note of the bloody hands, next he spots Cassel on the floor, and then he looks back at Zane.]

Get out of my way.

[Raises a hand and gives him a hard shove to clear the door way. A red aura flickers over him, in case the guy wants to retaliate. Rushes over to Cassel, horrified, angry, and worried all at once.]

It's cool?! Cassel, nothing about this is "cool"! What happened?!

[ Won't get any retaliation from Zane. It might have been a different story, if Cassel had objected, if Zane had metals with which to fight. In this, he simply lets himself be shoved out of the way.

He can let Cassel explain. ]

No, I meant - you're cool. You're not gonna hurt me.

[He glances at Zane with a brief flash of humor, then back to Kon.]

But it's okay, I told him to.

You told him to?

[Wants to facepalm, so hard. But now is not the time. He does a quick scan of Cassel, taking in the scope of his injuries. Cassel really let Zane go to town on him. The red aura around his hands glows brighter as he directs his tk at Cassel. Gently incases Cassel in his tk, lifting him up from the ground.]

We're going to the infirmary. [Shoots a glare at Zane.] We'll talk later.

[ The glare is met with blank neutrality. Of course they're going to the infirmary. That's why Zane made the post in the first place.

He looks to Cassel. ]

Cassel. [ Hesitates. The words feel strange, thinking them or saying them out loud. But he tries anyway, an echo of Cassel's words after Zane was done: ]

Thank you.

[He grins crookedly, trying to act like it's not hideously embarrassing that he's being carried around. Actually, he's in enough pain that he cares a hell of a lot less than usual.]

No problem.

[Exchanges looks between the two of them, looking baffled. Why are they thanking each other for something like this? DOES NOT COMPUTE.

Exits the room, with Cassel in tow.]

Once you're fixed up, you and I are going to talk. [Concern flickers through his eyes.]

How are you feeling?

Good. Except for the - you know.

[Pretty much everything hurts, but he looks calm and relaxed.]

Sorry. For being a hassle.

Cassel, you need to start being more responsible and take more ownership over your decisions. I appreciate the apology, but I'd rather you not get yourself into these situations in the first place.

I'm not sorry for doing it. He needed it.

No one "needs" to beat the crap out of someone else. There are punching bags in the gym if someone needs to hit something.

He did.

[Just the stubbornest face he can possibly make with a split lip right now.]

No, he didn't. No one needs to hurt others because of whatever they have going on. You need to stop and think about the consequences of your actions. How do you think I feel seeing you hurt? How do you think Chris will feel when he finds out what happened?

[Rounds the corner, approaching the infirmary.]

[He flexes his hands reflexively, feeling a pang of guilt. That's. New.]

What's your point? [He's not actually as good at being cold here as he thinks he is.]

My point is, people care about you and seeing you in this condition is upsetting.

[Hm. He's not sure he has the energy to question this right now. He's still not sorry.]

Okay.

We'll talk more when you're feeling better. [Drops him off at the infirmary so the staff can do their thing.]

sweetheart, can you nip back down when you've parked Cassel and stop Chris doing anything even more stupid?

ta, love <3 <3

Looks like his Warden's already on it. I'll keep an eye out for the both of them.

yes, thank goodness. i just asked you 'cause you were on the scene already, as it were. thanks bb <3 <3
