4th floor common room, Monday after Lunch

Having gone to the office to get her mini-vacation with Father approved, Ami sat down in the 4th floor common room to do a bit of reading. She had several College catalogs in front of her, and her computer was nearby for reference purposes. A large bowl of popcorn was on the floor where she could reach it.

"...evil jackass," Cally said, not wanting to worry Setsuna more. "He's taken care of, though."

There was nothing Cally could do to lessen Setsuna's worry at this point. She frowned deeply. "...When...did this happen? Where? Was it...here?"

Cally shook her head. "I was in California this weekend," she said. "Don't worry, the island is totally safe."

"Good," Setsuna, hand to chest, breathed a sigh of relief, but then sucked in another breath. "Not...that this happened, of course, but that...everyone else..." The worry overtook her expression again. "Oh, God, Cally..."

"Hey, keep this up and you'll get me all worried again," Cally said. "He's behind bars and thousands of miles away. And he kinda won't be forgetting what happened, either."

"That still doesn't make it okay that it happened," Setsuna said, frown still firmly in place. She told herself that, yes, Cally was safe and, yes, it happened well beyond her reach, but she couldn't help feeling terrible that one of her friends had gotten attacked and she hadn't been there to help or prevent.

"No, it doesn't," Cally said. "But we did good, and stopped him from really hurting anyone. And... he's missing an ear."

"I... kinda... bit it off," Cally said.

[identity profile] bound2blade.livejournal.com 2007-01-15 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"Bi...Bit it off!" Yes, that was a small, surprised shriek, and her hand went up to cover it, eyes practically bulging out of her head.

Bit it off!! That was...was...

"Honestly? He was lucky that's all I bit off," Cally said, joviality concealing the fact she wanted to shudder.

[identity profile] bound2blade.livejournal.com 2007-01-15 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Which only seemed to want to increase Setsuna's need to shutter. Cally seemed...disturbingly casual about it. She hoped, desperately, that it was still an aftereffect of the attack, a form of denial or bizarre natural coping mechanism.

"God, Cally." Setsuna wanted to hug her, but couldn't.

[identity profile] sogothcally.livejournal.com 2007-01-15 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Which was, really, exactly the case.

"Okay, do you need a hug, here?" Cally asked.

[identity profile] bound2blade.livejournal.com 2007-01-15 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"....Maybe. Yes. Cally!" Confused, worried, helpless, Setsuna just threw her arms tightly around her.

[identity profile] sogothcally.livejournal.com 2007-01-15 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Cally hugged Setsuana tight. "I'm okay," she said, finally breaking down a bit and sniffling. "I really am, okay?"

[identity profile] bound2blade.livejournal.com 2007-01-15 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Setsuna nodded against Cally's shoulder. "Okay," she said. "I know I couldn't be there for you then, Cally, but I'm here for you now, if you need me, got it?"

[identity profile] sogothcally.livejournal.com 2007-01-15 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Cally said. "Thanks." She sniffed a bit more and pulled back. "Did I mention I also stabbed him in the leg with a unicorn?"

[identity profile] bound2blade.livejournal.com 2007-01-15 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"Stabbed hi--- Wait, did you say unicorn?"

[identity profile] sogothcally.livejournal.com 2007-01-15 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not a real one," Cally said. "Like, a little figure of one."

[identity profile] bound2blade.livejournal.com 2007-01-15 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh. That makes...a bit more sense."

[identity profile] sogothcally.livejournal.com 2007-01-15 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Cally said. "I woulda gotten away from him, if his buddy hadn't tricked me."

"Tricked you?"

Setsuna wasn't entirely sure if she was comfortable talking about any of the details of the encounter, but she knew that talking about it could be beneficial to Cally, so she'd gladly listen to whatever she wanted to share.

"You probably don't want any more detail," Cally said. "And I kinda need to get moving. I got homework to do, and stuff."
