w0, monday

[Shi Qingxuan is on her way back to her room! She passes He Xuan in the hall, and greets him because ... well, she always does.]

Oh, hi Ming-xiong!

[...but then, strangely, she keeps walking?

Maybe if she just plays it cool he won't notice the blood on the front of her robes.]

[maelstroms]

[ She's hi-byed him before, so he almost doesn't think anything of it.

Until he catches sight of that red that's out of place, and his hand snaps out to grab her by her belt. ]

What did you do.

[shiftingwinds]

—ack!

[He's so fast, what the heck.]

I didn't do anything! I just... found someone.

[maelstroms]

[ For someone lethargic he's certainly agile when he wants to be, huh. ]

Someone bloody?

[shiftingwinds]

[She nods.]

She had a nosebleed, and she'd passed out, so I tried to carry her back to her room, but she woke up and wanted me to put her down...

[maelstroms]

[ He clicks his tongue slightly, pulling her closer so he can get a better look, hand at her waist. ]

So why are you trying to run off, then?

[shiftingwinds]

[It does, in fact, seem to be blood that just got on her robes from somewhere else! There don't seem to be any visible wounds on her, at least.]

So I can change my clothes and try to get the blood out of these...

[maelstroms]

[ A dour look is his initial response, before he lets go of her instead of further investigating. Fine, he has decided that, since she's fine, he will no longer care.

Probably. ]

You can just do that like a normal person instead of running away.

[shiftingwinds]

I was just going down the hall! You know. Normally.

[...]

I didn't want to worry you.

[maelstroms]

[ The look on his face clearly says "no, you weren't," but he doesn't voice it.

And instead heaves a world weary sigh. ]

Who's worrying?

[shiftingwinds]

If you weren't worried, you would have just let me keep walking down the hall.

[ :) ]

[maelstroms]

Go away, your robes are going to stain.

[shiftingwinds]

[she laughs and heads off down the hall to go take care of that, then!]

I'll come find you when I'm done, Ming-xiong!

[maelstroms]

Don't.

[shiftingwinds]

See you soon!

[She will, in fact, come looking for him later. Hide, HX.]
