Forty Sixth Star

...Riou, damnit...

Sorry to my fellow officers, but Officer Riou is going to be out of commission for awhile. He got busted up something awful by a malice monster. Had he his chip out... No, no use in thinking like that.

The stress just keeps building up. Every time I get a bit of relief, something happens to make it all seem worse again. I'm getting a little sick of the back and fourth. Mentally, emotionally, physically... I'm getting to my breaking point here. After this is all over, I'm just going to fish for a few days. I don't care if I won't catch anything. I need some zen in my life.

Until then, I guess it's back on another patrol. Let's try to have it be one where I don't have to go rescue someone or run into a pack of hungry monsters, eh? Not that I mind these things normally, it's just... too much of anything will kill you.

[Private to Cecil]

We need to talk.

So long as he rests, yeah... he's taken pretty bad beatings before in the war, so he should be fine.

icon just for you

[emit.livejournal.com]

He must be a tough fighter to take multiple beatings.

busty redheads will be the death of him

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

...There are many times I wish he didn't have to be.

beware of a tag team

[emit.livejournal.com]

A lot of us wish that about many people we care for.

oh dear

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Yeah... he and his sister deserve better than all of this conflict.

oh god the parallels of that statement

[emit.livejournal.com]

I'm able to echo that exactly.

holy crap, you're right, ha ha

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Heh... it seems every time we talk we find something else in common.

Poor canonmates

[emit.livejournal.com]

Let's hope it stops soon, or at least switches areas. So far it's been pretty negative.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Does misery not love company?

[emit.livejournal.com]

It just wants to make itself feel better.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I think I can be satisfied with that.

[emit.livejournal.com]

You'll have to forgive me if I want misery to leave me alone.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

A fair enough wish. But hey, if you can't seem to escape it, you know a like-minded person isn't too far off. Talk, spar, whatever, you know?

[emit.livejournal.com]

... who?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

...Me, Kallen.

[emit.livejournal.com]

Right. Got it.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Though you'll have to wait until I have some free time again.

[emit.livejournal.com]

That's fine. I've got my hands full, too.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

There's another thing.

[emit.livejournal.com]

[a recorded chuckle]

Let's stop there for now. Things might get weirder.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Far enough, ha ha...

See you later, Kallen.

[emit.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Later.
