Scene #3409: Endless Possibilities

Owner	Pose
Kirito	The cottage... IN WINTERTIME. Snow covers the woods, the pathways, the tree branches... and the tranquil log cabin promises warmth and cozy company. Just look at the wisps of smoke rising from its chimney! The stairway leads to a small porch and straight to the front door, which allows anyone with the Gatecrashers Union passage without having to request permission. Walking through the front door? There's the living room, and Kirito's found himself a reclining, plushy chair to lounge in while he's waiting. Both hands folded across his stomach... and then there's Yui. Who's using Kirito's head as her seat, holding on to some hair. All they can do is wait.
Yuuki Konno	Of course Yuuki has no clue what she's getting into. She doesn't even think about what it is Kirito's intending to talk about. She's just a kid after all. Barely fifteen years old, unwilling to bring up a very unpleasant subject, she doesn't even think someone else might bring it up first. It might well come up in a conversation, making her dodge the topic pretty quickly. Her own mental blocks however keep her from realizing she might be making a mistake, inviting others in on what might have been intended as a private discussion. Of course she's quick to come to the little home. It's a delightful place, and she's no slowpoke when it comes to this world. The little purple blur flies quickly enough, soon finding herself at the cottage. After finding her way to the cottage and being invited inside, Yuuki grins at Kirito and Yui. She's seen the sprite before, though she doesn't realize the true extent of Yui's nature beyond adorability. "So... what were you wanting to tell me? Oh wait, we should wait for others to get here. No point in having to repeat everything!" she grins lopsidedly.
Tomoe	The form of Tomoe is soon spotted making her way through the snow towards the house she's clad in her full gear as she makes it once she gets through the front doro and she'll take a moment to bring up her dressing room menu to shift into something more suitable for being inside and then she'll find a place to sit down and lay out a little bit. She looks up as Yuuki enters and she has to wonder if she's got any idea about what she's wandering into? Well it's too late to go back now.
Arthur Lowell	Arthur Lowell is that friend of yours. You know, that guy? The one who always takes too much food from your fridge, but every time you invite him over he's enough of a party that you decide to just overstock a bit before inviting him, rather than do anything else. He's that guy. Which is to say, he's probably actually already here. Which will be odd, because he wasn't ever really let in, he just Gated in, authenticating his entry with his own game's digital interface. "HELL YEAH!" He says, arms full of essentially whatever his guild permissions can casually mooch from the item storage here. "You don't start the PARTY 'till ARTHUR's all up IN THIS SHIT. WHAT UP?" He flops down on... Well, not on any couch at all, he just sort of floats as if there'd be a couch under him. "SO! Heard there was some TALKS goin' on, I'm here to SAY HI! Gotta say, s'TOO BAD I missed your STORY, heard you did some CRAZY SHIT while I was BUSY with some stuff 'round MIZUKI-'VERSE and the OTHER MAGIC PLACE." Arthur's doing that ENTHUSIASTIC RAMBLING thing, of course, trying to be just obnoxious enough to prompt Kirito to launch into his discussion without being too obnoxious to allow Kirito to actually interject.
Annie Sandberg	Silverbloom was the next to arrive, her signature chimes signalling her appearance. "Hi everyone," she says happily. "Hi Yui!" she adds particularly to the smallest one among them. She hops to one of the couches and sits down. "How's everything?" She looks a bit surprised when Arthur appears. He wasn't a fairy, so he must have arrived through the warp gate. He definitely... stood out, Silverbloom thought.
Kirito	There's some consternation on Kirito's face. Awkward flinching, let's call it. "Well... the people coming should hear this too but... I wanted to check with you first. It's personal stuff." Yui asserts the veracity of Kirito's claim by repeatedly nodding! "I suppose it can't be helped, papa." The little fairy exclaims... only to wave at people as they arrive! Though... Arthur's sudden appearance has her quirking her head... then lifting off to go fly over and huff at him. "Mr. Lowell! You really should come through the front door! But it's good to see you again!" "Yo, Arthur!" Kirito waves the party guy over, and nods warmly at Tomoe and Annie. "Grab whatever you want, it's fine. We've got plenty of chow." Kirito then grins at Yuuki Konno. "Arthur here's one of the few people who managed to utterly trounce Eugene a while back. That's just the tip of what we've been up to... and what's this Mizuki-verse, Arthur?" "Hi Miss Silverbloom!" Yui answers, waving Annie's way.
Yuuki Konno	Another time and place, Yuuki might've been freaked out by Arthur. Now, she's just fascinated. She's already learned about how some people can enter and leave Alfheim Online, but this is the first time she's actually seen someone clearly not a faerie within the game. That fascination isn't quite enough to make her neglect Silverbloom however. The Imp beams when she enters, rushing over to put arms around the small Puca. "Everything's great!" she says, releasing the brief hug. Yep, this is Yuuki. No grasp of the concept of personal space, not when she likes someone. "You beat Eugene? Wow, he's REALLY good." Yuuki says to Arthur, impressed. "Maybe we should duel sometime! That sounds like it'd be really fun! And oh, did you mean my story?" she asks. "Because there wasn't really much to it. We wanted to beat a boss. Thanks to Asuna-neechan, we did. Story's really kind of over!" she claims. And even if it's not over, well, it IS ending. Soon. She doesn't dwell on that though. Not until Kirito mentions his intent. Yuuki frowns, looking somewhat serious for a change. Then she looks around again. Arthur, Silverbloom, and Tomoe arriving. Only now does she get the idea she may have invited trouble. She sighs, looking rather unhappy, but she nods. "Go ahead." she invites Kirito. "I promised myself I'd be honest, and I wouldn't try to hide the truth." she claims. "There's things I don't like talking about, but that doesn't mean others can't." she says, beginning to get an idea what might be up.
Tomoe	Tomoe looks up as she seems to know that Aruthurs been about. "You really get into Mizuki's head a lot don't you Arthur?" She waves to Silverbloom as she arrived, she pauses at the mention of Eugene. "Been raiding with him lately he says hello." however it gets into the serious things ot should be shortly. Things are getting serious it seems and the Salamander just now waits.
Annie Sandberg	Silverbloom laughs happily as Yuuki gives her a hug. She wasn't expecting it, but they were friends after all. She stands up as Kirito mentions wanting to talk with Yuuki privately. "Oh, I guess we could just go in another room if you want some privacy," she suggests. But Yuuki doesn't seem to mind having the others around for this serious talk.
Arthur Lowell	"DOORS, more like SNORES, that GEOMETRIC LINEARITY shit is for the BIRDS. But HEY, if it's a BOTHER, I won't get ALL UP IN YOUR SHIT." The mageling says, shooting a grin at Yui. Then Kirito's other topic! "HAH! Shit YEAH! First go, motherfucker WRECKED MY SHIT OPEN before I could INSULT HIS SEXUALITY. We're talkin' BLOOD AND FIRE, yo. Did some POWER LEVELING and came back, fought him to STANDSTILL, then WRECKED HIM the NEXT GO!" Arthur gives his story very... Succinctly. And punctuated with very enthusiastic fistpumps. "YEAH!! Well, HEY, sum it down like THAT, my whole LIFE'S STORY was jus' BEATING A BOSS. Any time you wanna DUEL, I'll get that shit GOIN'! Trust me, girl, you've NEVER dealt with the party I BRING to a FIGHT." He starts chowing down. Man, he even eats enthusiastically. "MIMI'S been DOIN' GREAT, we're helpin' out a couple of her PALS. I'm pretty sure, like... Only HALF of 'em HATE MY GUTS. DON' WORRY, that's not what we're here to TALK ABOUT." He does give Tomoe some double fingerguns though, freeing up a hand by throwing his food briefly up into the air and catching it deftly. "NICE HEARIN' that the ol' FIRETRUCK is still DOIN' HIS THING, you say HI BACK!" And then he detects the conversation shifting, shifting just a little... He may be kind of obnoxious, but he does seem to be pulling his social aggression back enough to give Kirito the space he needs to speak.
Kirito	Yui puts both hands on her hips, frowning a little at Arthur... but the little AI's just flabbergasted at his approach, if not a bit intimidated, and withdraws to again nest in Kirito's hair. Arthur's eyed... oddly indeed. She's been dealing with him for a while but he still leaves her completely stymied! She just wasn't programmed to deal with that sort of guy. "It's probably fine this way..." Kirito exhales, sitting up in the chair instead of continuing to lounge. Both hands go on his knees and he frowns himself a little. "If you're sure, Yuuki. So... Asuna figuring out where to find you wasn't just pure coincidence. There's never been anyone in Alfheim Online as fast as you... and it takes a lot of experience with FullDive to get like that. ... So I figured out there's only way that someone could have more time being in FullDive than a Sword Art Online veteran. That is... if they were using it almost twenty-four seven, from before SAO even launched." He gets this out a bit stiffly, then inhales again, scratching his cheek oddly. There's sympathy in his gaze, and care. "Asuna told me about your situation... but I didn't plan on bringing that up in front of EVERYONE." The look turns sheepish, even apologetic, as he glances at the others. "... Buuuut it also proves the point I wanted to bring up. Arthur here? He's a God. Of space. Portals and locations. Silverbloom here? Her player is an android from another world. Artificial Intelligence just as advanced as Yui here." The little Navigation Pixie executes a curtsey midair, rather adorably. "... so I wanted to ask if you'd like help turning that problem around. I already discretely asked someone who works with all kinds of technology that I can't even DESCRIBE and he said it's not undoable."
Annie Sandberg	Silverbloom nods. "Yeah. If there's any problem you have I can help with, I'd definitely like to do what I can," she says. "Um... but if you need technology, it'd probably be better to ask my mom about it! ...when she has time, that is." She looks a bit apologetic at that last part.
Tomoe	Tomoe has not expecting this she had thought there'd been something else out. "I'd thought the same it's rare for us to run into someone with more hours clocked in. I had suspected it for a bit but you proved otherwise. "WE had a lot of strange people we known with a number of skills as you seen but ummm." She looks a bit lost but she's got some idea where this could be going.
Yuuki Konno	This is one of those things Yuuki hates the most. Perhaps not the worst thing she's ever faced, but she does hate to see a look of pity on another's face. It's probably telling that before she was eager, looking around, smiling. Now she's none of those things. She's looking down, not meeting anyone's eyes. Still, she's willing to face the situation squarely. "Asuna-neechan told me." she claims stolidly. "When she found me at the hospital. And yes, you're right." she agrees. She's been in FullDive nearly twenty four hours a day, for over three years now. She lives, quite literally, in VR. It's kind of a shame that she's learning all this about others while in such a state. She's curious about Silverbloom, about Arthur, even about Yui. But she can't quite bring herself to look up; to see the reaction of her friends. She catches the motion of Yui out of the corner of her eye, but she still doesn't look up. "I... don't think there's anything that can be done." Yuuki says, her voice soft. "I appreciate it, but ... the doctors are pretty sure." she says. "And it's fine really. I've done a lot lately. Everything I could've hoped for and more. You don't have to do anything."
Yuna Kagurazaka	There's some rustling in the underbrush not too far away, followed by a shout and a slash - and then Kagura comes tumbling out of the bushes with her sword in one hand, freshly dropped loot in the other, and her shield on her left forearm - at least until she aims her tumble wrong and winds up using half of her shield as an impromptu snow shovel. "Mmmmmfff!" It takes Kagura a few moments to extract her shield and right herself. "- oh, hi!" She sheathes her sword and unslings her shield before waving to the gathering. "I'm not interrupting anything, I hope ... ?"
Arthur Lowell	Arthur knows when to sort of reel his shenanigans back a bit. Right now is that time, in fact; things seem to be getting kinda serious. He sort of sits, and listens, and contemplates, while he snacks. Then, eventually, he does speak up. "Well... Hm. Yeah, I'm a god. I admit, I don't know a ton about what's going on. You're in the hospital, sounds like. And... Sounds like you've been there a while. I know what that's like. I'm still playing my, shit, what'd they call it? 'Immersive simulation'? And I know what it's like not havin' much to come home to, uh, mentally." He heaves a heavy sort of sigh and seems to ponder. "But, lot can get done. Just have to know what there is to do. Lay your problem out. I think there's more solutions than you believe. Lotta ways to put something together. I admit, I dunno you very well, really, all I know is Kirito wants you safe, and, y'know, I owe Kirito a couple favors. So, lay it on us, Zekky, let's see if we could figure something out. Or, I guess, maybe it'll just be that bad, doctors might be right, and we'll let it rest, promise not to keep your mind on the awfulness too long."
Kirito	Kirito winces. He didn't expect her to reaction to be this bad. He sighs, not quite sure how to broach this mood she's in. "Come on, that's what I'm trying to say. Those doctors haven't had a chance to adopt all the medical technology out there. There's magic, nanotechnology... and lots of people who want to help." He switches to being as positive as he can make it sound! And Yui flies over to Yuuki's shoulder and lands. "Papa and Mr. Lowell are both right, Miss Yuuki! Though I don't understand all the details, we've both seen the amazing things available in the Multiverse."
Tomoe	Tomoe looks to Yuuki for a moment and she starts to now get an idea of what's going on with her friend. She tilts her head for a moment at Yuuki. "I seen limbs get replaced, regenerated, I seen a lot of things out there. I think your worth helping." She doesn't know about the rest of Yuuki's guild though quite yet but she's starting to suspect things now. "Yes we seen a lot there's more than just our little world out there for options now."
Annie Sandberg	Silverbloom was starting to get the picture. Yuuki had been in the hospital for some time, and had thus been using VR for all that time. Whatever the issue was, it was probably pretty serious. "Yeah... It's a really big multiverse out there. And you might not even have to look that far... Maybe there's some kind of super-powerful healing spell in Alfheim that could work too. I mean, yeah, I heard you didn't want people from here going to your real world, but... for this sort of thing we could make an exception right?"
Yuuki Konno	Yuuki smiles wanly, though she only barely glances in Kagura's direction before looking down again. She's glad to see her, glad to see anyone who's been her friend and helped her achieve her goal... but this isn't a great time for her now. It's difficult to talk about this, for her at least. "I... don't know how much I could tell you." Yuuki says evasively. "I'm just a kid, you know? If you want to know the full details, I should let my doctor in on your chat program." she suggests. Oh, she could say everything, probably. She's heard her doctor explain it, lately to Asuna, but earlier to others as well. If she doesn't have his explanations memorized, she can certainly do well enough. But if he's the one to explain, then she doesn't have to. She can be ... elsewhere, and not have to see others' pity or hear the worst of it repeated. That's a definite bonus for her sake. Yuuki reaches up to her shoulder, clasping a hand carefully around Yui's tiny form. The gesture means a lot to her, perhaps more than the words, and possibly a lot more than people might realize. "I... appreciate it. It means a lot to me that you'd say all this." Yuuki says. She doesn't WANT to die, of course. She's too full of life to want to die, as anyone who knows her can clearly see. But she's not afraid of death, not any more. "I... if you can do something, I'll consider it." she promises. "But not just for me. You have to help the other Sleeping Knights too. I wouldn't want this if they... you know..." she says, her voice trailing off. Of course the truth of Yuuki, when it comes out, can be fairly well condensed. Drug-resistant strain of HIV, collapsed immune system, living her days in a clean facility to prevent infection... body dying to the slow wastage similar to that suffered by the SAO victims even if the disease doesn't claim her. More could be said; the circumstances of her birth, the deaths of her other family members, the various prejudices and torments she's suffered. The doctor wouldn't dwell solely on those things of course. He might mention Yuuki's strength as well, her choice to volunteer for an unproven program, her facing the outcome with dignity and acceptance, never crying for herself. The big thing though is her family. Yuuki's already survived her parents and her sister, having had her own life extended past theirs thanks to the Medicuboid treatments. For her to keep on living while those she cares for die... that's perhaps even more terrible than the prospect of death itself.
Yuna Kagurazaka	On the one hand, it looks like a fairly involved discussion, and Kagura is reluctant to barge in further ... but nobody's chasing her away, either, and she winds up joining the small group. Around the time Yuuki asks them to help the other Sleeping Knights, though, Kagura would try to give the younger girl a hug - just a brief, quick one, if she accepts it, or a longer one if Yuuki wants it. "I'll do whatever I can," the Puca promises with a solemn voice - but a bright, warm smile to go with it. After all, Kagura has fought to protect her friends against alien gods, business-minded devils, and everything in between. She's not going to let some disease break a streak like that - even if she has to shift to different tactics than usual to pitch in effectively.
Tomoe	Tomoe listens back and she listens, and thinks they got a lot of work to do but then the other shoe drops on the other Sleeping Knights. "I see, that explains why you were so hell bent to get your names up there. Well looks like we got more resrch to do what might help one of your friends might not help another but we do mean it. Kirito we're going to want to hit up Iianor for sure on all of this."
Kirito	"Sleeping Knights? .... ah... that explains the name..." Kirito murmurs to himself, but he's still wearing a warm, ponderous face. "That should be no problem. ... What's most important is what you want, Yuuki. You and your friends. ... Asuna and I... we're tired of losing friends." That last statement is said grimly, a hint of his own trauma from the time in Sword Art Online peeking through the merriment. "So... with your permission, may we look into the issue and see if anyone has an answer from the Multiverse to bring to your doctor?" Yui beeeams at the handling, grabbing onto Yuuki's fingers. "... Sorry to bring up the topic like this... it was... supposed to be more private?"
Yuuki Konno	Yuuki appreciates hugs, but at the same time receiving sympathy makes her uncomfortable. It makes her feel like crying, and she's fighting that as hard as she's ever fought a boss monster. She hates her condition, more for what it does to others than what it's doing to herself. So she accepts the hug, but it seems to make her uncomfortable and she's quick enough to retreat after. Kirito's words bring her back, at least metaphorically. 'Tired of losing friends.' Yuuki's eyes widen at that, and the tears finally begin to spill. Not for her situation, but for Asuna's. And Kirito's too, but mostly for Asuna. Not the first time she's cried over her friend's situation recently. The tears aren't a flood however. Just a quiet weeping, rather than the flood of tears that came up the last time she'd fled Alfheim Online for days, forcing Asuna to track her down IRL. Yuuki's upset, but not devastated. "It... it's okay." she says, her voice kind of broken. "Had to come out sooner or later." she says. Well, it would have had to come out unless Yuuki broke off with everyone like she'd tried before. Asuna's finding her put an end to that though. Not because of the futility of running, but because she wanted to be sure to honor Asuna's choice and commitment in tracking her down.
Arthur Lowell	Arthur seems to be finished contemplating. "Hmm. Well, I can't say I'm gonna solve all your problems, or even, you know, that I know how." He says, shrugging in an almost helpless way. "All I know is, I've seen problems like yours, and I've seen them solved. Hell, you're talking to a solution. You've still got the ol' ticker ticking, I'm half dead. But, here's what I'm gonna say." "I'm not gonna sit here and, you know, shove a lot of pain in your face, make you feel like you've got some big obligations to fight off whatever it is you've got that's keeping you in the hospital." Arthur gestures a few times, casually, conversationally. "But, thing is, the way I see it, you're OK with this because there's not any other options, right? There's not any other clear paths forward that'll let you get what you need." He taps his chin. "Nah. I think there's a way forward. For you, and the rest of your pals." Then he gives a wide grin! "Listen, we don't gotta talk about this right now, we can talk this out at your pace if you need it. You're dealing with some heavy shit I can only barely start understanding, you know? I respect that. And, at the same time... Well, look. If you're fine with confronting this right now, I'll be straight up about this with you." "When Kirito was dealing with... Well, I guess you'd call it the end of the world, really, when Alfheim was gonna possibly go offline, it involved a lot of negotiating. Little wheeling, some dealing, but at the end of the day, Kirito managed to earn his way past an impossible situation. So, here's what I'm gonna say we get you to work on. We've got some folks out and around with heavy-duty stuff. Seriously, seriously heavy-duty things, I'm talking stuff like grabbing your mind out of your body and putting it in one that's not all messed up, or just yanking you into the avatar forever like I'm dealing with. There's a lotta prices, but it... Works out, sometimes. I'm not asking you to, well, to open yourself up to a whole lot of bad cans of worms, trying to re-ignite the hope so we can jump back down some despair. See, what... I'm saying, I suppose, is, there is a way of moving forward. We just have to figure out what you need and figure out who has it. Then we figure out how to earn it from 'em. Like a quest, you know? Worked out for me."
Tomoe	Tomoe gives Kirito a look. "I'm tired of loosing friends too, I have lost too many too soon." She seems to have lost quite a bit form how she sounds. Yet she pauses at Yuuki's own reaction she does her best to not say anything on this matter is doens't feel right she hears Yuuki's tone and just slinks back a bit. "It was a heck of a quest too, wasn't it and I was just a bit player in that but damn it was something."
Yuna Kagurazaka	Kagura didn't entirely offer the hug out of sympathy, but mostly out of friendship and wanting Yuuki to remember she has friends, she doesn't have to face her trials alone. ... maybe that still boils down to sympathy. But it's not pity, which some people could also mistake it for. Either way, Kagura is not the sort to just leave somebody to suffer without offering whatever she can to help them. She remains close when Yuuki starts crying, even if she lets go of the hug. Kagura doesn't speak up at this point, though - Arthur's saying a lot, and probably saying it better than Kagura ever could.
Iria	Meanwhile, Iria has been in the background here, but she hasn't had much to say. She's just been listening in but not saying anything. It's almost like she's absorbing what's being said, although the look on her face indicates the possibility something else is going on in her mind. At one point she does try to open her mouth to say something, but stops, finding it's hard to talk or something.
Kirito	Kirito's very glad that SOMEONE hugged Zekken. He couldn't really do it himself even though she definitely needed one. Cultural inhibitions. But he just isn't sure how to deal with someone bursting out into tears in front of him. But still he's smiling. "Arthur's got it. We're here for you, you know!"
Annie Sandberg	"Yeah," Silverbloom says. "I could probably help by... having a benefit concert!" she suggests, laughing. It actually wouldn't be too bad of an idea, but she wasn't sure if Yuuki would want that much attention.
Yuna Kagurazaka	Kagura grins at Silverbloom, "Well, we can do a benefit concert by category, it doesn't have to be for a specific individual or a particular group ..." She may or may not have been nursing a similar thought.
Iria	Finally Iria speaks... "There are many ways we can handle this, we have to keep an open mind." Finally Iria breaks her silence!
Yuuki Konno	Yuuki's problems are pretty badly compounded by the culture she grew up in. Were it a more open culture, she'd have had little trouble explaining her situation. She wouldn't have fled rather than involve others. She probably wouldn't also be able to so-easily face her fate. She may be only a 15 year old girl, but the spirit of bushido is strong in Yuuki. After a bit, the Imp girl does look up. Not quite to look Arthur in the eyes, but to at least acknowledge him. She wipes at her eyes, sniffling. "You... have no idea how scary that sounds." she murmurs, mostly to herself. Then, louder, "I'd go on a quest though. For my friends." she says. A quest is quite possibly the best way to put it to her, since she's been living in VRMMOs for the past three years or so. That, and ensuring it's for her friends. Her eyes widen at Silverbloom's suggestion though, and she covers her mouth. That's a bit TOO much, yes. Fortunately it's also not likely to be needed. If the price of her life and her friends' lives is too high for her to pay, it might yet be an option... but money's not likely to be the deciding factor here. And hey, some of the Knights might like that sort of thing! Yuuki herself loves being in the spotlight, but only when it's aimed on her strengths.
Annie Sandberg	"Y-yeah, I was... mostly joking," Silverbloom said, noting Yuuki's reaction. "But I guess I wouldn't be much of a Puca if I didn't try to solve problems with music, right?"
Arthur Lowell	"Heh." Arthur says. "Well, I've got an idea of the sorta quest that might work out. Know someone who's dealt with this kinda problem before. But..." He exhales a bit. "Hey, between you and me, right? I'm the coolest dude ever, and even I got... That shit's just kinda terrifying. But, maybe it won't be necessary. Whatever your problem is, keeping you in VR so long -- yeah, don't worry, you don't gotta come clean about it all if you don't wanna -- if it's gonna harsh your life expectancy... Mmh. Just figure it out as you go, huh? Best thing to do." He's still not actually "sitting" on anything, which is why he begins to slowly turn upside down, drifting weightlessly. "Maybe it's cool and you'll live another eighty years, but, if you don't, give it some thought, alright? ...Trust me, kid." He looks very, very serious for a brief moment; all the casual bluster and banter has evaporated for a moment. "I know exactly how scary it is." "...Don't WORRY SO MUCH though! We'll FIGURE THIS OUT." He says, finally turning all the way upside down and reclining that way as if nothing was wrong. "DON'T YOU WORRY. It's MY JOB to get people QUESTS THEY NEED. I don't KNOW YA WELL, but I know WHAT QUEST YOU NEED, so you can LOOK FORWARD TO GETTIN' IT. None of that PITY SHIT, none of that GRIEVING NONSENSE. Just YOU, and a SOLUTION, and a WAY TO GET IT." He gives a fingergun and a wink to Yuuki at the end there. "TRUST ME."
Yuuki Konno	Yuuki isn't worried, not really. She's upset though, and the largest part of that upset is due to her knowing how this sort of thing affects her friends. She can cope with what's happening to her, even if it's scary. It's what happens to others she has the most trouble coping with. "I'll get... get my doctor to give you the details. And if there's hope, I'll ask the other Knights to get involved too." she says, a bit weakly. She can't help it. If nothing else, she'll do this for her friends... if the price isn't too high. She looks up, the tears a mere trickle now. The pain of reaction isn't so sharp, not any more. Yuuki reaches out, putting her hand on Silverbloom's head, then ruffles the little Puca. "If it was up to me, I'd try to solve it with my sword." she jokes weakly. Nothing wrong with a little tunnel vision, right? Of course some problems can't be solved with swords, no more than some can be solved with songs. No fault in trying. "But... I'd better be going then. To ... make arrangements." she adds.
