Who: LENALEE AND ALL OF YOU
Where: Home base, shrine room
When: Day 7, really early morning. Like the dead of night early.
What: Lenalee won't stand for this situation. (Get it?)

[It's 3am, Thusia. Do you know where your newest arrival is? Well, if for whatever reason you happen to be up at this outrageous hour, you will soon enough. There is a very dazed girl collapsed in the shrine room. She just so happens to be near enough the door that anyone not paying attention to where they're going may trip over her.

Just watch the legs, if you please. They're part of the problem already without being stepped on.]

[This has not even occurred to her yet.] What do you mean, "a different place"?

A different world. [How to exemplify this, how to exemplify this--] You were still alive when I died.

[...Now it occurs to her. And the effect it has is the same as if Kanda had smacked her across the face; she's stunned and doesn't really know how the hell to react.]

I was— alive? [But...] How?

Because you didn't die. [Duh. Gestures over her.] You were still out looking for Cross, weren't you?

[The uniform matches, the being out at sea, the legs...] You didn't die out there.

[Dropping her gaze— which lands, finally, on his uniform. The chains and reds and golds, so different from anything she's seen on an Exorcist before. Reaches out to touch the Rose Cross, if he'll let her or if it's even visible.]

...Oh.

[It is--he'll let her take her time with that, glancing at the hand touching the cross.

A pause, before reaching to put his hands back on her arms for support.] We don't have enough space cleared yet for everybody, but you can stay in my room if you want.

[Right now, Lenalee could probably do with the support, but when he puts his hands on her arms, she shies back a little. Things hurt right now.]

Where is your room?

[Oh--drops his hands then, if she's shrinking back.] It's down the hall. I can take you to it.

[It isn't as if she can shrink back far, what with the whole falling down thing.] All right.

[Takes a few steps back to the door, watching to see if she can follow on her own.]

[May...be...

not.

Sort of staggering those first few steps and then latching onto him again, yes. Her Innocence... well. She has no doubt in her mind she's ruined it, if not also her legs. SUPPORT HER, KANDA.]

[He's catching her, he's catching her! A small sigh, trying to pull her arm around his shoulders so he can hold her upright.]

[Well, this is really efficient at making her feel useless. Yep. Ducking her head as she puts her arm around him, because she doesn't to look at his face and see any... pity there. Or anything, really.]

[There's none, but he'll let her do as she wants as he leads her out the apartment into the hallway. He'll keep an eye out that they don't bump into any nature still sprouting closer down the hallway as he takes her down to his apartment.]

[Hobbling along. This entire place is unnerving, but she's more concerned with making it to where he's taking her than the creepy plants.]

[It's not far, at least, but sometimes the mushrooms start to sprout closer and you don't want to touch those.

Opens the door to the apartment and ushers her in. Points to one of the rooms.] I'm staying in that one.

[Why what do the mushrooms do...

She glances that direction, wavering slightly. Nods.]

All right.

[Suck your life force if you touch them with your bare skin.

He'll give her a rundown of Dangerous Plants and Animals later.]

We don't have a lot in here yet. You have to make sacrifices to get things. [And so far borrowing the first apartment was working for him--but it's getting crowded and Lenalee will probably have difficulty making it over, so he'll need to look into getting actual amenities.]

[It seems just like gods to bring them all back to life in a place where everything is out to kill them.]

...No. I don't want you sacrificing anything. [SHE IS TIRED OF SELF-SACRIFICE although she's thinking of things more demanding than reading Horton Hears a Who three times.]

[Or animal parts.] We have to if we want to keep this place running and be able to live in it.

[And apparently the gods aren't willing to let them just roll over and die again.]

[...God damn it.]

I see.

... They haven't asked for anything that bad yet. [If that's even reassuring.]
