Mou... I hope Ciel and whoever else might be here can fix your brain, you idiot.

I was stupid... ☠☠☠☠. What did I think?
That a low class wannabe hero could actually win?
Deadbeats don't get second chances.

HALTING and jumping down to ground level once she identifies the two familiar figures.]

Huh? Hirai-san, the Captain? What happened? [Though she had a feeling she already knew...]

[She sighs.]
He's pretty unreliable for a hero, sometimes.

She slows down to tail him quietly. Maybe she should just make sure that he returns home safely; this... isn't the best time for idle chatter.]

Klaus..... you damn fool.
I told you... I pleaded.
[He kneels by the sprawled corpse, holding his face in one hand.]
Oh Terra. What a waste this is.
[His voice is bitter, then he just straightens, leaving the body where it lies, and looks out over Mayfield.]

Another casualty. An acquaintance of his, apparently.
She bites down a sigh. She'll get rid of it later, that she quietly promises. Still... why is he out here?]

Mami's not tired, exactly, as she sips some water, given how she's taken the care to get enough sleep when possible, but the pressure of fear is no easy burden.]
Going out, miss Ciel?

Ah. I'm going out for a quick patrol, and pick up some supplies while I'm at it. [It's true, she's just emphasizing on different things to make it sound more casual.] Would you need anything, Tomoe-san?

And she's not exactly believing all of that at face value, but there's no point in prying. Mami's gotten....well, obviously not a complete snapshot of Ciel's personality, but she's seen enough to lay a few particularly paranoid thoughts to rest.
...it's complicated, really, how Mami's slowly coming to view her not!mother. She shakes her head a bit, both in response to the question and to clear it of these thoughts.]
No, I have everything I really need already. I was just on my way back up to the roof, actually. [Just her and Madoka's picture, h e h. I mean, SOB!!] Although...if you happen to run into some mutual acquaintances, could you tell me how they're doing? I've been trying to check the phones regularly, but I could have easily missed something.

As for Ciel, she stands by what she's said before. She can be nosy but above that she's patient, and if Mami ever wants to come for her for anything, she more than welcome to, whenever she sees fit.]
My, how diligent. [In half a teasing and half "I'm proud of you anyway" tone, if there was even one for that.] You know where the light bulbs, batteries, and flashlights are, just in case. [We'll buy you a picture frame too how about that...] Of course, but I can also keep an eye out for other people. Is there anyone in particular that you would like for me to look for, and if you don't think I know them, can you please describe to me what they look like?

None of her business to ask for details.] Would there be anything else?

But it's not going too well. Ever since that second letter arrived, thoughts have been lurking in the crevices of his mind, gnawing at him. They're the kinds of things he makes an effort not to think about, something he's perfected into a fine art. But that doesn't stop the voice lurking in his memories from whispering to him. "You should never have been born." Once that starts, others follow, and the steady trickle won't stop.
He thought he had something--an goal--to live for now... But what can he really do to help Lloyd now anyway? He's stuck here. And as far as Lloyd's concerned, Zelos is a turncoat. They're probably better off without him.
--Ugh, this is disgusting. Sleep is so not happening. When Zelos hears Ciel approaching, he sits up, glad for the distraction. Heh, wonder what would take to ruffle her feathers. ]
Huuuuuuunnyyyyyyyyyy~! Hehe, just who I wanted to see. Come to give your hubby a good-night kiss? Because you know, that's not all it has to
Reply
Except she has the good grace to just cross her arms and grace him with her usual soft and patient smile. SHE NEVER CRACKED AT YOU ONCE, just a reminder.]
Ah, everyone's having a tough time right now, but is something like that really going to make you feel any better, Zelos?

Why wouldn't it? Times like this, a guy needs a little pick-me-up. Oops--not that you're anything of the sort, a babe like you.
