[She figures that Tyr's probably forgotten that kind of curse entirely, too... As she finishes wrapping the bandage around his shoulder and secures it with a small clip, she thinks about how to explain it.
But she's never good at anything besides blunt explanations.]
I was hurting people...so somebody else had to stop me.
[ He assumes she means someone other than him... He knows curses like that exist, but they never happened to them. It's something that only ever happened to other people on the network.
When the bandage is secured, he turns around to face her and reaches for her hand. ]
Rita... It's- It's over now. You don't have to tell me what happened.
[It isn't that she doesn't understand why he's saying that. Rather, she's just a little surprised...but grateful. Even if he doesn't remember that she did it to him the second time...
That's exactly why she wouldn't want to talk about that time.]
[ He offers her a small, reassuring smile. He doesn't even remembering everything, but he knows how much memories hurt... She doesn't need to go over them with him. ]
It's fine now... I think it'll heal up pretty easily...
[After Estelle left and came back, Rita never wanted to tell her what happened, either. Maybe whether or not it's right for someone to forget painful memories isn't so clear-cut...
At least his shoulder's all right. It shouldn't even leave too much of a scar, she hopes.]
[Her smile fades again as he takes it, though she squeezes his hand, and she moves to the door.]
We'll check all the rooms just in case, too.
[But everything turns up fine, in the end. Neither Flynn nor Riou (or even Mukumuku) are hurt, the pets are all fine, and the house is otherwise empty.]
[ It would... :( I don't want this. I want them to just be happy together... ;__; ]
[ Nothing... It's almost frustrating because a battle would mean they've found at least part of the threat and dealt with it. Now they're downstairs and alone. ]
I guess it escaped... [ And was only interested in him. ]

Date: 2012-11-19 02:43 pm (UTC)Sorry... I didn't know things like this happened before...
[And no, he doesn't remember anything that happened...]
action;
Date: 2012-11-19 03:17 pm (UTC)It's not your fault.
[And she doesn't just mean the problem with his memories...]
We... I don't think we were really friends when it happened.
action;
Date: 2012-11-19 06:14 pm (UTC)[ It must be pretty old, then... He can hardly remember the times where they couldn't stand each other. ]
...Still, I'm sorry... It must have really hurt...
action;
Date: 2012-11-19 07:22 pm (UTC)It was okay... I was the one who was cursed.
action;
Date: 2012-11-19 07:24 pm (UTC)[ He really doesn't understand what she's saying... That she hurt herself? No... ]

Thanks... How's your shoulder?
action;
Date: 2012-11-19 08:15 pm (UTC)It's fine now... I think it'll heal up pretty easily...
[ Since they got to it quickly... ]

Good... Let's check on Riou and Flynn.
action;
Date: 2012-11-19 08:41 pm (UTC)Right... Riou's always been fast, though, so I'm sure he'd know if something was happening right away.
action;
Date: 2012-11-19 09:01 pm (UTC)[The City doesn't let her forget...]
action;
Date: 2012-11-19 09:03 pm (UTC)No- but his pet can probably pick up on that kind of thing for him.
action;
Date: 2012-11-19 09:36 pm (UTC)Oh yeah, that flying rat thing.
action;
Date: 2012-11-19 09:44 pm (UTC)Flying squirell.
action;
Date: 2012-11-19 10:05 pm (UTC)Whatever, they're both rodents.
action;
Date: 2012-11-19 10:17 pm (UTC)Sort of... But he means more to Riou, you know.
action;
Date: 2012-11-19 10:45 pm (UTC)Yeah, I get it. Like a friend, or a sidekick.
action;
Date: 2012-11-19 10:53 pm (UTC)[Tyr smiles.] He prefers to think of him as a friend.
action;
Date: 2012-11-20 01:23 am (UTC)Then let's make sure those friends didn't get in trouble from the curse. [She gives him a half-smile in return and reaches out her hand.]
action;
Date: 2012-11-20 01:40 am (UTC)[He holds her hand with a small smile.] Right. Let's go.
[He grabs his staff.]
action;

action;
Date: 2012-11-20 02:58 am (UTC)[Rita doesn't want to think it's only interested in him, but she knows it's possible...]
...Ugh... Well, it won't catch us sleeping again today, that's for sure.
action;
Date: 2012-11-20 03:05 am (UTC)[ If something was only interested in her before, he thinks it's very possible...
But her saying that makes him blink. ] Do you want to take turns watching guard?
