[ she takes the bottle gratefully, taking a drink ]
A little sore. [ she tilts her head to look at him and nearly drops the bottle, raising her hand to her head ] And it feels like I'm being hit in the head again, so that's fun.
[ she's gone from hesitant to annoyance in 0.2 seconds ]
[he is okay with that, honestly? she's tired so he'll pause only so he can shrug his jacket off his shoulders and put it around hers. comfy]
My guess is that Takeru sent you a text and then he got a read notification that came way before he even sent the text. That's how I found out he was missing a little early a few weeks ago.
[and everyone promptly lost their minds]
I think he and Harrow-san found out Molly was missing early too...
I'm not in the habit of disappointing people, you know?
[but he'll just give her a grin at that, confident and easy. if she wants a distraction, then he has no trouble providing. he'll gently scoop her up in his arms again and start to head out. they're headed for the simulation room!]
Do you prefer being up high or your feet on the ground?
I bet I could teach you. Everyone in the Apex has one. [ she does not currently, but they are going to a simulation room, so? ] It's super cool to use.
[ a pause as she looks at his eye patch ]
Just. Don't point it at your face. That's how Lucy lost hers.
Hell yeah! I bet it does! She's like the One-Eyed Dragon, Date Masamune...!! She can admire him along with me.
[oh dumb.
but he's walking into the simulation room then, adjusting his hold on grace just so that he can press a hand to the panel. the room shifts around them and they are definitely suddenly atop Tokyo Tower. hell yeah.]
[he's just laughing a little bit at that and then he'll go to carefully set her down so that she can sit comfortably with her legs dangling over the edge
he plops down next to her!]
Tokyo Tower! I don't know if we're actually allowed to be up this high in the real thing - so I wanted to try it here!
[ ooh. grace looks down and normally she'd turn her head to grin at him but like, that kills the grace right now, so instead she just laughs, looking up at the sky above ]
Most rules are meant to be broken. [ teasingly, because she is chaotic, but: ] But it helps to do it somewhere where that won't get cops sent on us.

Here....
I don't know if the latter's your effect, but at least for the soreness.
no subject
... Thanks. You've got a whole kit ready and everything?
no subject
Yeah - you all make me work overtime! Gotta be prepared, you know? So seriously, if you need anything else, text me. I'll scrounge something up.
[he's not a doctor but he's pretty adept at first aid and his bedside manner's also great]
... we found out you were missing a little early, so it was even more important to be ready.
no subject
You did? [ huh. ] How did you know?

Molly... [ she resists the urge? to look at his pod? ] I'm glad he's okay.
[ alive! is! implied. ]
no subject
.... yeah.
[he glances over and then back at grace]
.... do you wanna talk about it?
Or do you want me to distract you with something super cool and funny?
no subject
Something super cool and funny, obviously?
[ what is talking about a feeling! fuck that!! ]
no subject
Okay.
I'm gonna pick you up again, and we're gonna go on a way better adventure this time. Ready?
no subject
Ready. Show me a good time, okay?

Up high. Did I ever tell you I've got a grappling hook pack on the train?
no subject
Whaaaat? That's so fucking cool! I wish I knew how to use one!
no subject
[ a pause as she looks at his eye patch ]
Just. Don't point it at your face. That's how Lucy lost hers.
no subject
wow.]
..... I hope Lucy's okay!!
no subject
[ what grace is leaving from context is that lucy is maybe seven ]

Hell yeah! I bet it does! She's like the One-Eyed Dragon, Date Masamune...!! She can admire him along with me.

[ grace has no idea who that is. but that's fine, because she's quickly distracted by the view around them! ]
Woah. Where are we? The view's great!
[ she's been higher up, technically, but that doesn't make it look less cool? ]
no subject
he plops down next to her!]
Tokyo Tower! I don't know if we're actually allowed to be up this high in the real thing - so I wanted to try it here!
Some rules are made to be broken and all, right?

he's just laughing]
What? What if I am the cops?
no subject
no subject
Ahah, well, I think it's pretty fair game now. I'm not with the force anymore, so.
no subject
Do you wish you still were?
