OPEN POST: V - Devil May Cry

[versifications]

You know the drill! Comment with a starter/prompt, or leave a blank toplevel and I'll come up with one. I'll be avoiding spoilers by default, but if you don't mind being spoiled let me know.

[Shadow's ears perk up and he flicks his tail in silent acknowledgement, which is about as friendly as he ever gets. V moves to join him on the cot, sitting and offering a parting quote.]

"I have laboured hard indeed, and have been borne on angel's wings." Your own needs are no less important than your patients.

[mombastic]

...

Thank you, V. I won't push myself too hard, I promise.

[ But with that, she'll leave him to rest for the time being. ]

[V isn't sure how long he actually falls asleep for, but Griffon is pestering him and nudging him with his beak in order to rouse him, and it's getting dark outside (or is that the growing smoke from the apartment blaze spreading across the sky?). Dazed, but feeling rested, he returns to the station to seek out Otome, dismissing the two of his familiars.

She'd asked for his help, after all, but more importantly, he wants to make sure she isn't on the verge of passing out herself.]

[mombastic]

[ Not quite on the verge, but it's probably clear from more than a few glances that Otome is very tired when she thinks no one is watching. V will catch her rubbing her forehead, and surrounded by a whole bunch of medical supplies, speaking quietly to herself. ]

That's... it's no good, we'll have to find a more reliable water source... maybe a few more blood donors, but for now, the bandages should be fine...

[versifications]

[V will approach her quietly, not wanting to interrupt when she's plainly lost in thought. After a few moments, however, he steps forward, touching her briefly on the shoulder to announce his presence.]

Still as busy as before, I see.

[mombastic]

Oh-- V!

[ Otome turns quickly, flashing him a smile. ]

Unfortunately, it's probably not going to calm down anytime soon. Are you feeling any better?

[versifications]

Yes, thank you.

[He no longer looks on the verge of passing out, at least, so it's a start.]

Now I'm rested, let me take something off your hands. You need a break as much as I did.

[mombastic]

Well, if you insist! Would you like to count syringes?

[ Otome's clearly having an exciting time. ]
