[If there was something you wanted to get to at the end of this hall, you might want to find a detour route, because it doesn't lead anywhere but outside now. Literally. The walls crumble and disappear, the floor becomes brown grass, and the ceiling gives way to open air. If you bother to explore this new area, you'll find yourself in a dim

[A recently updated Lavi is making his way out toward her, well...dragging a foot. Tyki got most of the parasites out of him but a few are still lingering and make it difficult to get around. Puts his own coat over her shoulders.]

You okay, Lenalee?

[a_rebornstar]

[Erg. Forgot all that quickly that he shouldn't talk about this stuff casually around Lenalee.]

You won't like it, Lenalee...

[fallforthe_sky]

Do you think there's anything right now that I do like?

[arebornstar]

[He laughs a little and ruffles her hair again.]

No, probably not. [He just...can't think of how to say it.] Gramps and I were captured by the Noah for a "talk". Only one of them...put some kind of parasite in me and I think he got Chaoji too. I got...tossed here soon after Gramps and one of the others started talking, the Tyki from my world took most of them out for me but he didn't get them all. [They like wreaking havoc with his mobility, breathing, and nerves.]

[fallforthe_sky]

[Just... gradually goes pale.] Chaoji...

[These worlds, some so similar to her own-- they wreak havoc with her head.]

You have parasites in you? Lavi? [She pulls him into a hug again, exhaling heavily against his shoulder.] Are you going to be okay?

[arebornstar]

[The only thing different with Lavi's really is the fact that there are star-twins, and he doesn't like his...openly.

Nods, wrapping his arms back around her.] I'm getting better, yeah? Doctors here are trying to figure out how to get the rest out. Wouldn't have liked it when I first showed up at all.

[fallforthesky]

Do they... hurt? [She knows Chaoji wasn't doing well at all back home.]

[arebornstar]

They make it hard to breathe, impossible to move. [Avoiding directly answering the question.]

[fallforthe_sky]

You wouldn't have died because of them... would you?

[arebornstar]

Fiddler probably could have killed me that way if he wanted but I think right now it's just...restraint.

[fallforthe_sky]

'Right now'? [Muffled:] I will kill you if you don't come back alive.

[arebornstar]

We don't know all that he can do, it might just be restraints... [Sighs and lowers his head.] I'll come back, I promise. [He won't end up like Bookman's first apprentice.]

[fallforthe_sky]

Good.

[a_rebornstar]

[He smiles and hugs her a bit tighter.] Let's get you inside, alright? Not really dressed to be out here.

[fallforthe_sky]

...All right.

[arebornstar]

[Lavi pulls away from her to stand and offers Lenalee his hands.]
