[So hey. There's this girl. She's been in this place for a while, helped out with a lot of things, and today she got to help do something awesome! Cores are important to the Bastion after all, so that's a good thing.

Except she kind of... lit herself on fire and a lot of people saw it.

Anyone want to talk to her about that?

In all seriousness, Rin can be found after all that hubbub taking a break near the apartments, outside because she really doesn't want to be in her room right now. She's nursing a bit of a wound on her thigh from sliding on her legs under the bird earlier, but whatever road rash she got from doing so is starting to fade finally. Her sword is lying next to her in the grass, and she's just on her back, watching the odd sky above the Bastion quietly.

Mostly because her ears are still kind of ringing from what Crona did.

Ringing ears won't stop her from holding a conversation, though, if anyone cares to bother her, and she's in a decent mood given their accomplishments.]

[No hugging is good now because she's actually slumping against him, as if suddenly having all the energy drained from her and all she wants is close contact with some one.]

I think that'd be easier. Knowin' your whole life instead of findin' out on accident after fifteen years. I'unno... how to deal with it all the time. Only thing I can do is move forward, become an exorcist and finally kick Satan's ass for all the things he's done.

[unflattering]

I think...if there's anyone that can do it, it's you, Rin.

[Actually this is pretty nice, he hasn't had a good hug session with someone since he came to Bastion.]

[hellpyre]

[Just be careful, Maka. She's pretty worn out and she might fall asleep like this.]

You really think so... ?

[unflattering]

Is there anybody else here? No, it's you, I really think so.

[WELL even if she does he can just carry her back so no biggie.]

[hellpyre]

Mn. Thank you, Maka...

[Good thing she doesn't weigh much, even if she's strong as hell.]

[unflattering]

It's no big deal.

[It sure made him feel less anxious about the whole sensing a ton of monsters just below the surface, even if he's not going to say so.]

[hellpyre]

It's still nice to hear...

[Oop. Yep. Starting to fall asleep.]

[unflattering]

[Oops.]

Well. You'll be hearing it a lot from me, I think.

[He really believes in his friends, okay.

Oh but--]

Ah--I'm going to take you back to the inn, okay? You've had a long day.

[And he'll just lift her up and carry her back if there's no argument.]

[hellpyre]

I'm... okay with that.

[Rin doesn't put up any argument to being picked up. All there is, is a quiet mutter of 'thank you' as she rests her head against his chest tiredly.]
