She sat up and took the tea, sipping it slowly.
"Really? What makes it so hard?"

"You're cryptic in the way you speak. In the way you act. You never give out all of the information, even when it could be beneficial to you."

"I'm cryptic on purpose, most of the time. Who knows who might overhear me?" She looked at him through one black eye and one regular. "Are you referring to something specific being beneficial to me?"

"Who cares who overhears you? Our enemies are going to get the information they need one way or another." He looked at her, his eyes shifting between her good eye and her bruised eye. "What?"

"When would 'giving out all the information,' as you say, be beneficial to me?" She finished the tea and set the empty mug on the coffee table, leaning back against the back of the couch and closing her eyes again.

"Something happened when I was trying to console you. Your demeanor completely changed when I mentioned the failure you spoke of. I wasn't talking about the same thing you were thinking of. And what do you mean, 'something specific?'"

"I just wanted to know if you were thinking of a particular incident where that would have been true. ...And it changed because I wasn't talking about failing with Neko." She looked at him again, all emotions visible this time. She blinked, and tears started to fall from her uninjured eye. "What if Fen was dead all over again? I thought...I thought that despite everything...everything I tried, that she was dead, that I wouldn't have been able to fix it. I thought I failed, and Reeve wouldn't have been able to take it and Neko...he'd be dead too, by now and...and I wouldn't have been able to live with myself."

He remained perfectly still for a few seconds, but it felt like a lifetime. Then, he reached out and pulled her against him, in a hug. "That's not what happened. Fen is alive, Reeve won't have to take it, and Neko is resting in the Yami dojo."

"I know...I know that's not what happened...but there's been so much death here recently...I could almost feel myself starting to, to lose it." She took a breath, steadying her voice. "I could never face any of you after such a failure."

He tightened his embrace, then pulled away for a second. He ran his thumb across the gash on her forehead, healing it as he moved across it. He then placed his palm over her black eye. Ijutsu again, and when he pulled away, it was good as new. "Everyone needs a little support every now and then. Even you."

Nyl smiled. "Thanks, Seph. ...But I think I'm just going to sleep here." She paused in thought, then shrugged. "If you want the truth, I don't think I have the strength to get back up again. I'm shaking like a leaf as it is." With another shrug, she laid back down again, looking quite comfortable.

"You're welcome." Seph stood and walked to a closet and tossed her a blanket. "Night, Nyl. Sleep well." He said as he made his way down the hallway towards his room.

Fenris woke up in a medical room as she blinked, then yawned softly. She felt a little better than last night. She slowly turned over when she finally noticed Reeve was next to her. She blinked as slowly heaved herself up and off the bed, taking a good look at his back now that she could, noticing he was blood and his shirt was torn apart. She looked worried at him, then picked him up and layed him on the bed, with a lot of difficulty, having still been weak, and almost throwing her back out. She then took off his cape and slipped his shirt from him, placing his armband and medal on the table beside the bed. She looked at the clothes as she sat down and sighed, it would take a lot of work to mend these.
