8th Spell-Just-at-Pre-Dawn--Emergency! [Back-dated to the 18th]

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[Raven is not trying to be subtle here. She has been resting, but she's also been patrolling off and on as much as she can. As such, she's up and awake, and watching.]

We have a problem. They're bringing in the big stuff--like tanks, via the bridges.

[The hope visibly drains from Kiriko's eyes. He just looks at the screen a bit helplessly. They can't possibly take on tanks..]

Don't...just...don't do that Doc.

[Raven's tone is as flat as always, but there's the sounds of buttons being pushed, and then she continues. Letting actual emotion be seen.]

Kiriko-san..you've seen what we can do. We'll get through this, don't give up now.

[Guess what Doc, she considers you a dear friend, which is why she's worrying for you. ^^]

[His eyes flick to the screen, and then to the ground defeatedly.]

We're exhausted, Raven. ...Those are military-grade tanks...!

[There's a bit of a whine to his voice, but all in all he's more worried about everyone, especially Raven, than concerned for his own tiredness.]

We'll die.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

We're not going to die.

[Yes, she's exhausted too, but they'll manage. She has to hold on to that hope.]

We'll get through this Doc, I promise you.

[Not that she's not...touched by his concern.]

...do you have a favorite food? If so, when this is done, we'll find a way to have it. Waffles for me, and whatever yours is for you. Deal?

Re: [Video]--Locking this response-thread to Kiriko.

[and_above_all]

Maybe you won't!

[He says that a little angrily. There's a bit of a guilty pause that follows.]

...I'm sorry, Raven.

[He sighs, hoping to God she's right...]

I sure hope so. I...

It's...Sweet potatoes.

Re: [Video]--Locking this response-thread to Kiriko.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[No, she gets it...and there's a flicker of surprise--honestly touched and surprised at the level of concern. She's...not used to that, at all. Nodding though, then offering a faint smile.]

Then I hope you can cook, because I can't. But we can try and make sweet potato waffles, right?

Re: [Video]--Locking this response-thread to Kiriko.

[and_above_all]

[A faint smile.]

...I'm sometimes in charge of looking after the rations, but don't expect what I make to be anything more than serviceable...

[He looks a bit like he's ready to cry, but he'll hold it back until there is no hope left at all. For now...]

Don't... don't get killed out there, okay?

Suggest we combine threads on Lavi's injuries.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

I don't plan on it, Doc. Promise.

[As she is doing her best to give him a reassuring smile. She has to believe it herself, or she'll just give up. Nesreca isn't pleasant, but it's better in two ways than Jump was already, even if she misses her friends a lot. She isn't giving that up.]
