Characters: Lavi, Elizabeth Tudor, and maybe Lenalee Li
When: Soon after the battle with Credinta
Where: Apartments, first floor, random-unclaimed room
Rating: PG?
Summary: Lavi gets a talking to by a(/two) powerful woman(/women).

[Lavi had managed to keep his mouth shut the entire journey to the apartment building even though he was in intense pain despite the help from Raven and Kiriko. He had learned his lesson, most definitely, don't ever go up against a tank.

Part of him was glad that they hadn't used airplanes to bomb the ruined city. He had no idea how to combat them now if his hammer didn't work.

So he's sulking in his new and uncomfortable bed, longing for his own room on the top floor but injured as he was it was sort of impractical to cart him up there. The door is cracked but for now he's dozing as best he can while in pain, broken bones tend to make sleeping impossible to get.

[Because we're soldiers and that's what we do?

He smiles a little, especially at the hair ruffle, he does reach for her hand with his good one though. Giving it a reassuring squeeze.] Sure you're...not going to...beat me upside...the head first...?

[chrysalis_ex]

[ Yes. Doesn't mean she really likes it, though.

She curls her hand around his, smiling a little and shaking her head. ] They already did that to you. [ A poke in his shoulder, though. Just a small poke. ]

[outsidehistory]

Only...a cut...

[The bandage just looks really bad because the cut is right over his eyelid and bled profusely as head wounds like to do. He lets out a grunt for her at the poke.] They say...I'll heal...

[chrysalis_ex]

Hm. [ A cut? ] Better than if you'd said only a scratch.

[ Heal he will, but it takes time. ] A few weeks? Or more?

[outsidehistory]

Maybe...if it were...only a...scratch....

[A slight shake of the head.] A week...or so... Raven needs...to recharge...

[chrysalis_ex]

Wounds are several giant scratches that go deep, aren't they.

[ Strokes his hair again; he needs a hairbrush for it in time. ] The bad thing about rest is that it gets boring after a while. [ Heavens know just how many times she has been in that place. ]

[outsidehistory]

Of course, deeper than a surface scratch anyway.

[His hair always needs a brush.] I know it will. That's why I was hoping you'd bring me a book from the library up on my floor at some point? ["A book" meaning as many as she can safely carry.]

[chrysalis_ex]

Did you need stitches this time?

[ One of these days she needs to sit down with a brush and attack his hair. ] I can do that. Which ones do you want? [ Five or six, depending on the size. ]

[outsidehistory]

Nah... Kiriko and...Yukio...would have...done that...if I had...

[Sob. After he gets better?] They're...all in...Russian... It doesn't...matter which...

[liltingly]

They're not as bad as they might've been.

[ She'll agree to that. Invite herself over, armed with a brush. ] All right. [ Lenalee's somewhat reluctant to leave though. But she eventually stands up, brushing a hand over his. ] I'll be back soon.

[outsidehistory]

I'll take...that as...a compliment...to my fighting...skills...

[He'll look forward to it, it'll put him to sleep better than anything else. Lavi quirks a grin at her.] Not going to...yell at me...more?

[liltingly]

You're still good, Lavi.

[ Sleep is always good, especially since he needs it. ] No. [ She shakes her head, smile still on her face. ] You look sorry enough.

[outsidehistory]

[A smile at that, he had worried without any fights that he was getting rusty.]

Feel...sorry enough...too.

[liltingly]

[ It's hard to get too rusty after something that has been beaten into your brain through training and experience. ]

Don't feel too sorry. [ She taps his nose. ] I'm going for those books now.

[outsidehistory]

Thanks, Lena. I appreciate it.
