FIFTEENTH † VIDEO † AUDIO (ENGLISH)

[declaim]

[ When the communicator clicks on you can see Esther and Scheris in a hospital room. The nun's communicator was set on a table at the foot of the bed and was jostled when her visitor showed up. Esther is sitting up in bed, looking restless and tense. She's been patched up with bandages on her head and the side of her body that hit the ground

[Yes, he can hear you. He's... just not sure how to answer]

[ As Scheris stands outside the room, she can't help but feel bad. Not only for Esther, but for herself. She's thinking back on her short discussion with Riou.

He had asked if she had anyone to worry about her here, and she had said no. She said she was fine without that. She had assured him she wasn't sad or upset about it.

She had lied.

Now, as she waits for Esther, she thinks about Ryuhou. A part of her wonders how he reacted to he death. Another part quickly squashes that thought. Scheris was here for Esther, and she shouldn't think about stuff like that now.

She moves to face the door after a few more minutes and knocks softly. ]

[ Esther sent a message to Father Abel, then sat down on the bed again. Her body was still sore all over and though she wanted to head back out again she figured it was better not to push it.

Scheris' presence definitely lifted her spirits and she was grateful to the other girl. Of course Esther wasn't in the best of moods and she felt bad for that...hopefully she could make it up to her later.

Before she could get up again and get the door Scheris knocked. ]

Ah...come in!

[ It was still a habit to speak out loud. Esther quickly sent a message after that. ]

Come in!

[ Getting the message, Scheris opened the door. Her expression was different now. Instead of the happy, cheerful face she normally wore, she had on a sort of sad smile. Even though she tried, she couldn't get Ryuhou out of her head now.

She sat down on a chair this time, instead of the bed. For Esther's sake, she attempted to look happy. While she was good at some things, faking emotion wasn't one of the.

Even so, she wanted to try. She texted back. ]

Thank you.

[ Esther was fairly good at picking up the changes in people's moods. So when Scheris entered the room looking rather gloomy Esther took notice right away. Though she didn't want to pry, she wanted to make sure her friend was alright as well. ]

No, thank you.

[ There was a moment's pause between messages. ]

Is everything alright? You suddenly seem a bit down.

[ Esther sent her a worried look. ]

[Nill stared back at the video feed.

Why...? Why was everyone around her getting hurt?

She knew that setting, and was quick to notice the bandages on Esther's head.]

[ Esther gave her a smile, looking a bit awkward but determined to appear positive. ]

Hello, Nill! How have you been?

[heinesangel]

Hello, Esther. Good... Haine was able to find his way to Horton.

I wanted to thank you for offering to help before. I was really... scared.

...Are you all right?

[Video & Voice]

[declaim]

Oh, no...I didn't do anything, so no need to thank me. I'm sorry.

Mhm, yes! I'm fine. Just...a few bumps and bruises.
