[There's a long silence on the phone]

Tsuna has rescued me; I'm back now. [She bites her lip and closes her eyes tightly. She tries to keep her voice from shaking so muchI...I deeply apologize to everyone who worried so much, and I thank you profusely for your kindness and concern in rescuing me. For right now I will be staying with Tsuna and

M--

You s...

[She sounds so much like Mio when she says that tiny. Someone should hug her. Ren would, if he knew her, but he doesn't.

And now he's totally forgotten what he was going to say. Whoops. Maybe hanging up rather than making the poor thing more uncomfortable.]

[kindlichekaiser]

...? I'm sorry? I didn't quite catch that... [She frowns a bit, confused. She did hear someone there, right?]

[teh_sword]

...it was nothing.

[But she'll be getting a bit of the 'big brother concerned' tone for a minute anyway, now that he's got his thinking brain on straight again.]

Just seems like... you shouldn't have to apologize for something that's not your fault.

[kindlichekaiser]

[That's okay, Empress loves having more big brothers.]

Perhaps, but I'm still sorry that everyone worried so much. If I was stronger... [She trails off and sighs] But it's done now, and I'll have to be more careful with that man from now on.

...I don't believe we've met, have we? I'm the Childlike Empress.

[perfektsymmetry]

You were the one Mukuro kidnapped?! I-I... A-are you sure you're okay?

[kindlichekaiser]

Yes, I'm sure. He tied me up, and I have bruises from that...But all he did was make me drink a lot of tea.

[perfektsymmetry]

I... I had heard he took someone, but... well I'm glad you're alright. You never know what he's going to do. Um. I'm Crowe, I live with him. Unfortunately.

[kindlichekaiser]

Pleased to meet you, Crowe. I'm the Childlike Empress.

Mukruo and I... know each other; we would have long talks, but... I dind't imagine he'd do something like this. [Siiigh] But I'm alright.

[sparatoria]

[ assuming you're in the house, hello empress he hasn't seen you in a while ; w ; ]

It seems I'm just in time.

[kindlichekaiser]

[Of course! She hangs the phone up and turns to face him, rubbing lightly at her arms--there are rope burns and bruises from the ropes, but aside from that she's pretty much unharmed.

She smiles a little] Reborn. It's nice to have you back. [She kneels reaching out to touch his curly sideburns in a gesture of familiarity and happiness in seeing him un-droned]

Tsuna was quite brave; I'm proud of him.

[sparatoria]

I can say the same. You weren't too injured?

[ uu-

u-uuuu ; w ; this is a secret, empress. he doesn't let anyone else do that, okay? but he smiles, lifting his arms a little afterward, in agesture to pick him up. ]

Human beings have the power to fear nothing when those that are dear to them are in danger.

[kindlichekaiser]

My arms ache from the ropes, but I'm fine. [Buhyoo she picks Reborn up and hugs him, resting her head against his and closing her eyes for a moment to collect herself.

She's been feeling the urge to cry since she's been rescued, but has been pushing it down all day. She takes a deep breath and smiles a bit]

Humans are remarkable creatures. They never fail to amaze me. [She pulls back slightly to look at him] How are you feeling?

[updollsdresses]

... Are you sure you're alright, Empress?

[brb adding Mukuro to the Hate Diary]

[kindlichekaiser]

I have some rope burns, but I'm alright. I'm sorry this happened... [Siiigh]

You're not angry, are you?

[updollsdresses]

I rarely get angry, Empress.

However, this Mukuro. Is he a... problem?

[kindlichekaiser]

Not usually, I assure you. I...think he just got bored. [Because that justifies it. Clearly.]

[myblimpisbigger]

[Faosfjdoi well thank goodness. He was just about ready to fire up the ol' stompy clank.]

Often, psychological scars are worse than physical ones.

[CUE PSYCHOBABBLE OH GOD HE LOVES HIS BRAINS SO MUCH LET HIM SHOW YOU THEM AND HIS EXTENSIVE NOTES ABOUT THEM.]

If you need help with wounds of that nature, do let me know.

[kindlichekaiser]

[She's quiet for a long moment, closing her eyes and smiling slightly. She's touched, really]

Thank you, but I'll be alright. I...I think I'm just going to stay at Tsuna's for a little while and just relax where I feel safest.

...I'm sorry if I caused you to worry...

[myblimpisbigger]

You were not the problem, Empress.

[Tsuna? He doesn't know this Tsuna.]

Tsuna is a friend of yours?

[kindlichekaiser]

Perhaps if I hadn't been so adamant about keeping quiet, I...

[She trails off and blushes, smiling happily. She might sound a little dopey, lovey-dovey, embarrassingly happy]

He's my boyfriend...
