[Kido blinks when she realizes Hajime's really falling asleep. But she doesn't mind it at all.]

... Do you want to lay down?

[birdstheword]

Mmn? It's okay.

[She moves her NOTE and phone to her right hand as she uses her left to rub at her eyes a bit. It's not until Kido mentions it that Hajime really notices the weight of her sleepiness. She moves a bit to sit up so she isn't leaning so much on Kido. Maybe that will wake her up more.]

I brought a lot of sugary tasty things too. They're free reign!

[blindfoldcode]

[That might be easier if Kido was going to let her go. But her arm isn't budging.]

If you're tired, you can rest. That's fine with me.

[birdstheword]

[Hajime blinks at that, glancing to the arm and then back to Kido.]

You got hurt too. You should be resting. Or eating. R and R.

[blindfoldcode]

I am resting. What else would I be doing? [She's just sitting there. And Hajime should be too :<]

[birdstheword]

I donno but I came here to take care of you!

[She uses her free hand to reach over and poke Kido in the cheek]

[blindfoldcode]

This is good enough. [She looks away, turning pink again.]

[birdstheword]

Are you sure? I feel like I could do more! Kido-chan! Kido-chan! KidoKidoKido-chann

[See what you did Kido, now she's more awake. Poke poke poke~]

[blindfoldcode]

I should've just let you fall asleep... [She's grumbling but she's not actually angry.]

[birdstheword]

I wasn't falling asleep. I was resting my eyes! It's not my fault you're comfy!

[Hajime giggles, nuzzling her shoulder playfully]

[blindfoldcode]

[She POINTEDLY looks away now.] I think that's just how tired you are.

[birdstheword]

Maybe a little.

[She settles back down. Hajime has had a her fun]

That was a rough night.

[blindfoldcode]

A rough couple nights, probably.

[Kido's just going to be a little quiet, thinking about it.

[birdstheword]

Couple of nights?

[She blinks at that, glancing to her]

[blindfoldcode]

... Did you just get bitten yesterday? [Look Kido's putting it up there as one of the Worst Things to Ever Happen to her.]

[birdstheword]

Nope. The 4th. At night.

[Sure it's rough being weak and not feeling good, but Hajime is already past what happened. She isn't worried or counting the days.]

I didn't think he would get you Kido-chan. I should have come save you. Sorry Sorry!

[blindfoldcode]

[That's just what she meant by rough couple of nights.]

It's not like it's your fault. I don't want you or the boss apologizing to me for it.

[She's the one who shouldn't've gone along with him.]

[birdstheword]

It's not your fault either! I just wish I was there.

[Heroes are always in the right place at the right time right? She glances to her neck.]

It looks a lot better though!

[blindfoldcode]

You would've just gotten hurt again, too. Maybe worse.

... I got lucky. The boss got there in time. [And she's both thankful and sad about that.]

[birdstheword]

I don't think so...

[If Kido was attacked after she was, then Hajime isn't so sure she'd even be able to get to her.]

I'm just glad you're safe now! I was worried about you Kido-chan!

[She smiles warmly at her before looking towards the cieling.]

I do want to find that guy again though.

[Not right now. Not until her NOTE heals. But it shouldn't be hard given her god ability.]

[blindfoldcode]

Why were you worried? You have enough to think about.

[Yourself, namely.]

... I met him once before this. He saved me, in the fire.

[So this has been a weird second meeting tbh.]

[birdstheword]

Because we're best friends. I'll always worry about you if something is up, Kido-chan. Duh!

[How much friendship does she need to shove at Kido before its obvious. Friends worry! She cares about her well being.]

That is strange...maybe he wasn't feeling like himself. I took a picture of him...since I was trying to get pictures of everyone. His eyes and tattoo turned super red. A hungry red!

[She sits up a little straighter, still sticking close to Kido but now that her mind is buzzing, she's waking up a bit more. She thoughtfully taps the blank screen of her phone. She had looked at his picture a few times, trying to figure things out.]

Next time I'll pull my NOTE out faster so he can't grab it. Transform and he won't be able to beat a Gatchaman! If he's still super weird and creepy.

[blindfoldcode]

[There's a part of Kido deep inside her chest that thinks about those red eyes.

Like hers. Glowing and awful and a monster. And the possibility of a monster inside of her.

But it's gone in the next second because--]

He did what?

[birdstheword]

[That's a different red glow. The red glow was hungry. Kido's eyes were not. Plus her red eyes are pretty! Not a monster! But...neither was he. Hajime can be bias all she wants. Still meeting a Vampire was weird.]

Hm?

[She blinks at her.]

Oh. I was slow is all.

[blindfoldcode]

That's not an "is all" kind of thing! You said it was your soul!

[She finally pulls back to take Hajime by the shoulders because this is Serious.]
