Riina listened as the phone went to voicemail, as she had expected, and turned to face Roy. "Yeah, I'm fine," she said. almost desolate, as she got up. "Wounds to the face bleed more than you'd think," she laughed, walking to change the gauze on her cheek. The copper smell wasn't too bad, but it was beginning to get distracting. She sat across from Roy as she taped fresh gauze to the side of her face. "I'm just worried about him, ya know?" she said, looking past him over his shoulder.

Riina sat up, holding the phone in front of her, debating whether or not to call Jussi. She flipped it open and shut about 20 times before finally calling. "If you don't have your phone whatever and if you don't want to answer, you don't have to," she said to no one as the phone rang. She knew she was being annoying, but she didn't care. If he didn't want to pick up, he wouldn't, and that would be that.

Riina finished sticking the tape down over the gauze on her cheek. She sat over in the scenic room, resting her head on the back of the chairs. "He thinks I'm stupid. But I'm not. I just don't care that he's a demon," she muttered to herself. 'And then blames me for not knowing anything. That's not my fault. I can't control what he tells me or doesn't,' she added sadly. Riina looked back out the window for a second, but, sighing in frustration, she threw her head back and put her headphones on, not caring what played. She kept her eyes open, staring at the ceiling, and sang silently with whatever did play.

Riina blinked, a little bit taken aback. She raised her hand to her face, wincing slightly once her fingers touched the marks on her cheek. "Guess I went a little too far with that one..." she muttered to herself, rubbing the blood between her middle finger, forefinger, and thumb. She stepped down from her seat to get something to wipe the blood off with, looking once over her shoulder. As she pressed the cloth to her face, Riina wondered if the smal amount of tears were due to the surprise pain or the shock since Jussi had never actually attacked her.

Riina silently hald his glare, staring back at him not-quite-blankly. She wasn't smiling anymore, but she wasn't completly emotionless as she kept his gaze. "Do I need to know everything about you to be your friend? Understand every intricate detail of every happening?" she asked evenly. She blinked, positioning her hand back under her chin, never looking away.

Riina smiled, leaning forward onto the bar counter and resting her chin on the heel of her hand. "Because I am your friend and I do know you," she responded casually. She looked over at Roy, waving her hand to let him know that things were fine. Well, as fine as they could be under the circumstances.

"I'm Riina, a friend, and I'm trying to be sure you're not hurt," she replied, her tone friendly. She had a feeling that Jussi didn't like her in such close vicinity, so she moved to the other side of the bar, across from him, so he wouldn't feel that she was intruding quite as much.

Riina smiled slightly, breathing a single laugh. She held up her hands again, palms facing out at Jussi. "Still not going to hurt you," she said lightly, leaning back in her chair. She wasn't trying to distance herself from Jussi out of fear, she just didn't want him to think that she was trying to get too close.

Riina gasped slightly as Jussi disappeared, not quite believing that he had just gone into thin air. Knowing how things worked by now, she blinked, looking into the cafe and seeing Jussi at the bar. Sighing with relief, she went to sit next to him. "Um.. Are you okay?" she asked him.

Riina sat back, finally taking the hint and letting Jussi do... whatever it was he was doing. She took to her previous action of just watching, not so terrified now and more curious. The initial shock of Jussi being stabbed hadn't quite worn off, but she let it pass as she looked on at him, leaning against the building wall.
