Down under the night sky, I lay in wait...

Who: Rin and Bon
When: Day 77, late evening, way after the teams return
Where: By the river
What: The two exorcist derps need to have a talk
Style: Action
Warnings: None
Status: CLOSED

[Yet another Core had been retrieved, but returning also revealed that in the effort to find one of their own, two more had vanished. Even if she hadn't known them very well, she had spent time with Nezumi and Shion, and hearing that had dulled the joy that had come from being able to make more of the Bastion grow.

It wasn't fair. For every step forward, it felt like there was a step back, and it was taking a toll on a lot of people, Rin being among them. It hurt to think she couldn't protect the people that they had found, and as much as tried to tell herself that she couldn't save everyone, it was just that difficult to convince herself of it.

After things had settled down from the return, Rin had quietly wandered away from the group without speaking to anyone, eventually settling down next to the river, staring at the water with a tired, wary frown. She would have been fine if no one found her there, because the way she felt, she really didn't want to talk.]

Well, if nothing else, we learned something today: the monsters will go after whoever has the Core. We can use that against them next time.

They probably did have ways up, we just didn't find them.

[They did seem to stretch on for quite a while, they probably surrounded the city.]

...I wonder if the city had trouble with other groups attacking.

A barrier of sorts, I'm guessing. Not the magical kind, just bricks and mortar.

The thing is, I don't think it's monsters they were protecting the people from. You saw them, they went right over that wall like it was nothing. Whatever they were trying to keep out, it wasn't monsters.
kyotoprincess: (talking)

I think we should try talking to the people from the city. They might have more answers about this.

[Whoops he sure does notice that wound, and already he sounds worried.]

Did the monsters hurt you?

[Yeesh, that must have hurt. But at least this time Bon isn't scolding her for putting herself in danger.]

Here, I'll go get some bandages.

[He's already standing up to go, too.]

[It looks like the bandages are more needed to protect Rin from hurting herself than anything else.

But anyway, he returns with some after a little bit.

I only took a little bit from the supplies, since I figured you wouldn't need that much.
