Who: dosuhoi, scarfaceless Where: The Honda House When: Monday Evening What: Ed finally finds out where the hell Hester's been. Warnings: Angst and cursing.
Hester was sprawled against the door, scratched up and looking a bit like a wild fox that had just escaped the hounds. Her eyes were wide and darting. Actually there was much else that looked ready to dart away about her at any moment.
"Ed..." Oh shit, his dad was home shit shit shit. "Uh...Hi." She breathed raggedly, trying to seem a tiny bit normal.
Hester shook herself off, pulled away from his arms. "'m bloody fine! It's just scrapes, no'fing broken." She said, reverting to thick Cockney under stress and looking doubtfully at his father from behind her thick, rusty red hair and the red scarf she always wore around her face.
"Really. 'S nofing. Just...need a place to sit'e'fuck down a minute and maybe...You got anyfing to eat?"
Honda reluctantly put Hester down since she was stronger than she looked. "Dad, don't call just yet. Maybe she's telling the truth." Though the boy had his doubts about those wounds.
He led her to the couch. "Yeah. What did you want to eat?" For now, he bit back the million questions he had for her. He just wanted her to feel safe for now.

The elder Honda looked on for a bit before speaking, "Bring her inside. I'll call for an ambulance."
Ed picked Hester up with relative ease. "Don't worry. We'll get some help for you."
