Voice Post

[There are loud voices in the background initially before Catty's voice cuts in.]

Sakura, Delita, tell me you guys decided to take the night off from being serious Ravenclaws? Tell me you're both in the Great Hall and that when I get there, you'll both laugh at me for worrying so much.

[A pause as she takes the time to grab one of the first years

[His voice is strained, and he's sniffling a lot like he's attempting to fight back tears]

Hey Catty, um, I'm- [there's a scuffling noise, like someone struggling to walk] -I'm in the library, Komachi dragged me there to do my Herbology--[A cry of pain, more sniffling] stuff and it was really lame and now I'm trapped AND I CAN'T FIND HER CATTY! KOMACHI IS GONE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!

I'm..[A really big sniffle, it's obvious that he's crying now] I'm not scared or anything, I just didn't want you to worry and stuff.

[scroll_heir]

[Catty has to control herself before speaking, afraid to frighten him more if she sounds really upset.]

Kono, tell me if you're hurt. I need to know what happened. It's okay, I promise you. I hear there are already professors trying to get you out.

[Another pause as she takes a shaky breath and yells at one of the kids.] Don't worry, Konohamaru. Komachi is fine. I'm sure of it. [She lowers her voice, mostly so the kids she's shepherding don't hear her.] It's okay to be afraid. I'm scared, too, and I'm not even trapped.

[His voice is high, pained, and the volume of the spell is cutting out]

My...my leg's really messed up Catty. I can't do aerodynamic kicks or anything. It's really gross, like you know that meatloaf we had? [a sharp inhale] It looks like that and I can't walk and I think I'm going to barf.

Yeah, well they better hurry up! I can't rescue everyone by myself--[The sniffling starts again] I can't even walk, how am I supposed to carry people out?!

[his voice is small, weak and distant. It's obvious that he's in a lot of pain but is trying to seem brave about it]

I'm NOT scared! I'm just...concerned. I mean, you're out there all alone and I can't protect any of you. I can't even protect Komachi that good. And she was RIGHT THERE.

[scroll_heir]

[She tries to harden her voice, picking up the cues from how hurt Konohamaru is. She also knows that he's trying to be as brave as possible and coddling him won't help at all right now]

That's... Really gross, Kono. [a forced chuckle] Is there anybody around that can help you? It's okay to take off hero duty for tonight. You don't have to do any of the rescuing.

[As much as she's trying to control herself, both for Konohamaru and the other kids, there's a hitch in her voice]

We can take care of ourselves. You worry about you and Komachi.

[abovetwinsuns]

[Jaina's voice is slightly breathy, she's running and you can hear the footfalls]

Konohamaru? That obnoxious second year? I'll keep an eye out for him, I'm patrolling the halls right now looking for kids.

[scroll_heir]

I found out where he is. [A pause before she continues, and with Jaina, she decides to not control her voice] He's really hurt, Jaina.

Please be careful, okay? I'd hate to have to worry about you getting hurt and have to come find you.

[abovetwinsuns]

[Jaina's voice is comforting, but stern. She feels like she's reminding Catty of what she already should know]

I saw Professors Senju and Shiranui heading over there, between the two of them I'm certain they can handle the library crowd.

[She's almost amused]

I'll be fine. My main priority is getting the kids back into the Great Hall. I'm more than used to doing the solo thing.

[scroll_heir]

[Catty smiles a bit at the reminder. Leave it to Jaina to be practical]

I know. I can't help but worrying, though.

[She actually gives a tiny laugh]

A horrible pun, Jaina.

[battle_in_bloom]

[She sounds tired. Really tired. And she's having trouble breathing]

Why does...everyone assume that...I'm in the Library?

[scroll_heir]

[She tries to not freak out at Sakura's voice]

Because you're Sakura, of course. How bad are you hurt...?

[battle_in_bloom]

I don't...really want to...think about it? It won't - [a sharp intake of breath, an abruptly cut off cry of pain - D-don't worry, Catty. I'm not about...to die or - anything like that.

[scroll_heir]

[Her voice is really soft and she has to clear her throat a few times]

I have to worry, Sakura. And reassuring me that you won't die? Not helping...

[incendio_octa]

[There's a dull, halfhearted laugh. Oh lord.]
You should know, the Princess never takes a break from her study habits. Though...knowing her, Sakura already told you that much.

[And his voice drops down low, to a whisper--almost like he's talking to himself.] Has me worried to hell and back. We should keep her talking.

[scroll_heir]

[A loud sigh, since she already knows]

I think that we should try to break her of this habit after this is all over.

[There's a long pause before she responds back]

Don't worry, I will.

[incendio_octa]

Shit. [He does not sound happy.]

She stopped answering.

[scroll_heir]

[Her voice is soft, clearly trying to sound calm and failing to do so]

She... Same here...

This is after he healed Sakura, and he's gaining his strength back.

[brbusinivalice]

*His voice sounds obviously tired, strained...he's breathing a bit heavily.*

I am afraid I did not. Worry not of Sakura or myself, however, we are both all right. I managed to heal the worst of her injuries.

The post is made while she is on her way to find Harry

[scroll_heir]

[Catty can be heard telling Professor Rorschach to take her little troop to the Great Hall. Loud footsteps are heard after that, along with soft panting since she is running. She is too focused to hear the post]

Delita is not amused :|

[brbusinivalice]

*He is breathing a bit heavily, but still finds himself to speak loudly, very authoratively. Obviously, something's going on, and he'd sort of like to know.*

Catty, what is going on?

Neither is she. =/

[scroll_heir]

[Her breathing is a little hard]

Got- Gotta find Harry. He didn't respond.

[She pauses to mutter a rare curse word since the stairs decided to just now move on her]

Good to hear you and Sakura are okay.
