[There's creaking -- scratching -- the softest breathing through the PDA network -- the steps behind you grow closer and closer, the breathing grows quicker --

And above it all, a soft voice is singing.]

Ten little monkeys, jumping on a bed~♥ One fell off and broke his head~♥

[Kanda may very well be able to hear the sudden crash of something being thrown in Lenalee's room before the feed has even started.] Don't you dare, Kanda.

[And then there's her door slamming open, because she is totally coming to bodily keep you in your godforsaken room.]

[voice]

[promisedlotus]

...

[Yeah, heading downstairs.]

[VOICE --> OFFLINE]

[fallforthesky]

[Ahaha, riiiight. Good luck outrunning the girl that fights at the speed of sound. Another bang as she slams the door shut again behind her, storming after him.] Kanda!

[OFFLINE]

[promisedlotus]

[NOPE. NOT STOPPING. Leaping down from flight to flight.]

[OFFLINE]

[fallforthesky]

[LIKEWISE. Her heart is racing. Shit. Shit shit shit.] Stop being an idiot!

[OFFLINE]

[promisedlotus]

I know what I'm doing!

[Down to the second floor now.]

[OFFLINE]

[fallforthesky]

You aren't thinking!

[You know what? You know what? He probably won't notice with her behind him, but Lenalee veers off-track to the nearest window. No glass in it, which is just as well, because at this point, she'd be fine with breaking it in order to beat Kanda to the landing. Boots activate as she clambers onto the sill and drops-- down to a second-floor window, which is also luckily missing glass. And she slips in just in time to catch Kanda heading for the final flight of stairs.

Full-body tackle incoming.]

[Was that Lenalee heading for the window? Kanda chances risking a glance back over his shoulder, eyes a little crazed should Lenalee catch it. And he probably should have just kept running down toward the final flight.

That is one incoming Lenalee.]

[OFFLINE]

[fallforthesky]

[IMPACT. It's probably better that he wasn't at the top of the flight, or they'd be flying down it. As it is, she at least aims to take him to the floor, and then sit on him.] I'm not letting you do this!

[OFFLINE]

[promisedlotus]

Get off, Lenalee.

[OFFLINE]

[fallforthesky]

No. You aren't going to do anything stupid as long as I'm here.

[OFFLINE]

[promisedlotus]

Get. Off.

[Very briefly, a look of hurt flashes across her face. Then she curls a hand into a fist and presses it to the floor next to his head. She's never seen him direct a look quite this venomous at her before and it's... frightening. Pleading, but not without urgency:] Listen to yourself, Kanda! I know Rhode's being absolutely awful-- God, I understand-- but you can't afford to just black out because of her! You have to think about this! Please.

[OFFLINE]

[promisedlotus]

There's nothing to think about.

[OFFLINE]

[fallforthesky]

No, you just don't want there to be anything to think about! What will attacking her achieve here?! You do realize you're letting her control you, don't you? [She shakes his shoulder with her free hand, grip tight.] If you get yourself hurt, you realize I'll have to do something about it, don't you? And if I get hurt, then someone else might feel like they should try to help, and then they might get hurt-- do you see where I'm going with this? You'll make us all into pawns this way, Kanda!

[OFFLINE]

[promisedlotus]

I've always been a pawn, Lenalee.
