*Mihael had said whenever. This seems as good a whenever as any. Now that he is no longer technically a her, Near comes knocking. Hopefully it'll be just Mihael home, not N. He doesn't think he could deal with that right now.*

Mello?

*Knock knock.*

Are you home?

Evil-A has left, the bruises have healed, things are patched up, and Near is back, knocking on N's door, book under his arm.

Poised to come in whether he likes it or not.

*After a completely terrible encounter, it's Near's turn to be moving through the hallways much too quickly, and to collide head on with someone.*

The past few days have been an odd mix of delight and misery. First the fight with N, then the bath with A, now the healing room with Mello.

Suffice it to say, Near arrives home in desperate need of another slow evening with just the two of them.

*Near seldom varies from the A's room-kitchen-Mihael's room path, but today is the exception to the rule. Today he's making the long trek down from the top floor library, a few braille books clutched in one arm, cane in the other hand, moving cautiously. You never know what sort of thing you might run into in this place.*

*Near has been sort of hermitting himself in A's room the past few days. Which is why the knock on the door is sort of a surprise- A wouldn't knock, and very few other people know where he lives or come to visit.

He climbs to his feet, pulls a shirt on and goes to answer the door.*

A?

Are you home?

Please be home.

*Near had gone out to get more pads. He comes back empty handed, and slightly ruffled looking. A hesitant moment in the doorway, and he speaks.*

I have some news.
