[SHE CAN BE WHEREVER honestly hospital is probably where daan made her go, so she is here, curled up on a bed.
she does not look great! she's sweating, and also shivering, a thin blanket covering her. most of her injuries are not actively bleeding or anything, though her poor tail is missing a good chunk of it. she's bandaged! when she hears him poke his head in, she opens her eyes blearily and looks over.
she's a bit afraid to open her mouth, so she doesn't, but she does give him a very weak smile.]
He can't return the smile, expression grim and concern pouring off of him into this room as he takes in her state. This is... not great. ]
Oh, Karlach...
[ There's probably a sink in this room so he's going to grab a small hand towel to wet it under some water, then wring out the excess. Once that's done, he drags a chair over to her bed, taking a seat on it before dabbing at her forehead. ]
Me and Izutsumi and Yuffie, we were part of... the Society. Put in charge to kill Relivers, demons in human skin. [she says it slowly, distantly.] I was good at it. Aqua, Iwatooshi, Marina, Suguru, Lucas.
When I feel less like I'm going to vomit all over the floor, I can help you talk to her. [hhhh.] She - she had it rough. She'll pretend like she didn't, but she did.
[aventurine has learned a compassion... karlach is so proud of him.]
Thanks. [she says, after a beat, glancing to the side. stares at empty air. and then looks back at him.] You're going to make a face, but it's sweet of you.

Pool didn't heal you all the way, huh?
no subject
she leans a little into the dabbing, swaying slightly. she seems like she's dizzy.]
Think, uh. [she starts, voice hoarse.] There was a lot of... I got into some hallucinogen shit where I was, I think I'm coming down. Sorry.
no subject
[ SWEET, SURE. It's meant to be a joke, but his voice just sounds strained, yay. Anyway, he's going to wipe at her brow and temples. ]
I went through it too, last week. Though I was unconscious for my return, so you're doing far better than I did.
no subject
she snorts out a laugh, and then winces. ow.]
Gods. You went with... [squints, like she's trying to remember. and then she gets stuck - staring at something right over his shoulder, behind him.]
no subject
He glances over his shoulder, sees nothing, then turns back to Karlach. ]
Karlach? Are you seeing something right now?
no subject
... Suguru - Suguru didn't die. Right?
no subject
No, he didn't die. No one new has died since you've been gone.
no subject
[sliiides her gaze back over to over his shoulder.]
... His corpse is standing there. [she looks ill, as she says it - and blasts him with a bunch of guilt, sorry aventurine.]
no subject
Yeah? Guess that means you really like the real version of him.
[ That's how this sick place works. ]
Wanna talk about it? Talking about it helped me reorient myself to what was real and what wasn't.
no subject
[that's her sonboy. she can't quite tear her eyes away, but.]
It might help. Yeah. I don't really know where to start. [her voice gets a little quieter, because she's got a horrible headache.]
no subject
[ He presses the damp towel to her forehead, lays it out there. ]
Did you have to take on a role?
no subject
Me and Izutsumi and Yuffie, we were part of... the Society. Put in charge to kill Relivers, demons in human skin. [she says it slowly, distantly.] I was good at it. Aqua, Iwatooshi, Marina, Suguru, Lucas.

Aerith.
no subject
... They certainly didn't hold back on the three of you.
no subject
she shudders.]
Is Izutsumi okay? [worried, guilty, again.]
no subject
... As well as she can be. I'm concerned about her face and her eyes. She refuses to go to the healing pool.
no subject
When I feel less like I'm going to vomit all over the floor, I can help you talk to her. [hhhh.] She - she had it rough. She'll pretend like she didn't, but she did.
no subject
How very like you to worry about others when you yourself are in this position.
no subject
hey]
What, am I supposed to just not give a fuck about other people just because I'm injured?
no subject
[ Everyone worrying about everyone else... It's rubbed off on him too, which is the strangest part. ]
I'm taking care of Izutsumi. I'll make sure stay with her.
no subject
Thanks. [she says, after a beat, glancing to the side. stares at empty air. and then looks back at him.] You're going to make a face, but it's sweet of you.
no subject
Can I get you something to drink or eat? Maybe another blanket?
no subject
Think if I eat it might not make it down, so - no, but. [shivers.] Water's probably good, so Daan doesn't rip me a new one.
