Nickeline wasn't in the best of shape. It was hard to see over a black fuku but blood covered the majority of it, splattered and smudges of red covering her visible skin. Cuts, gashes and bruises were the highlight of the artwork that Sassolite had orchestrated. She couldn't go back to her dorms like this, there was no way she could explain it to anyone. If her parents, or worse, her grandfather found out Nickeline would have to bury her head under a rock.
Not like she'd be able to get back to the dorms very easily either way. She found herself falling against the wall of an alley, sinking into her body's desire. She would rest here for a minute, or two, resting her body up for the journey back. She only meant to close her eyes for a minute, but before Nickeline realized it she had fallen asleep against that wall. For a brief moment, all the fighting had ended and she returned back home where her family waited.
How peaceful she must have looked, bloody and battered against the wall, a simple smile on her face.

Eunomia had trouble coping with the sight in front of her. Her conscious brain told her to take pleasure in the sight of a fallen enemy, but at her core she couldn't, because as much as she didn't want to admit it, when she noticed the broken figure in front of her was Nickeline, her stomach dropped.
She took a few slow steps and stood there, trying to wipe the pity from her face. She wanted to ask her what happened but like always with Nickeline, she second guessed herself.
So she stood there quietly for a long moment before asking in an awkward voice that sounded like she wasn't sure if she wanted it to be biting sarcasm or sincere, which was broken anyway since her voice cracked in the middle of it.
"You alive?"

There had been no initial response to the inquiry about her current status, not even a change in her facial expression. The footsteps had warned Nickeline that someone approached her but in her current state the corrupt senshi couldn't will her body to move unless there was necessary cause for it, and then, and only then would her body produce the adrenaline it needed. The voice hadn't brought her into a state of urgency but it caused her to think.
Dead or alive? It was hard to tell when you had a hole in your head and chest. She seemed to be breathing though, but maybe that was only the case because she was the senshi of breath. Nickeline wasn't quite sure how senshi spheres worked because Eunomia was pretty orderly, being a White Moon senshi, after all. She didn't feel dead though, and she was certain if she was dead she wouldn't feel all the pain she did right now.
Finally grey eyes opened, peering up at Eunomia with a foreign expression of innocence that her dream state had left them in. A moment was all it lingered there for, and then the clarity of reality set back in and her eyes fell down a bit. She didn't make an effort to move past opening her eyes but that was definitely because of how her body felt right now... not that she was in any particular mood to fight (which was definitely the most shocking fact here).

The creases in Eunomia's brow deepened at the lack of response. It only further hammered in how very wrong things were. She figured she should probably ask what happened. Except she was already assuming what had happened was Nickels went and picked a fight with someone she couldn't take on, thanks to personal experience with Nickeline and fighting.
Still, she wasn't saying anything. And Eunomia wasn't sure what to say either. And what she wanted to say was probably too complicated to get across with the language barrier and the pitiful few words she could barely pronounce would serve no appropriate translation.
So she tried to go to hard logic and push out all the conflicting and complicated feelings.
"Come on. You need a hospital," She stated firmly, and took a few steps closer to hold out her hand to the unresponsive girl. And after some mental strain, wanting to believe the lack of response was due to a lack of comprehension-- as unlikely as that was-- she added through no small amount of effort not to completely bork the entire thing, "Nosokomío."

Energy was something Nickeline simply couldn't conjure up, and to be frank, she kind of still thought she was dreaming. She thought Eunomia was there but she found herself considering the thought that it was simply a dream as she tried to find what she thought was a young child speaking (or trying to at least) in Greek. Her dreams had just been dreams, right? Or had she really returned home? Her eyes searched around her in a daze, trying to make out the area.
The area was clear: This was still Destiny City. An obvious look of disappointment fell over her face before her eyes met Eunomia again. It wasn't a dream, she wasn't in Greece and Eunomia was definitely here. What did she want? Did she want to fight? She remembered she was pretty upset last time they met, was she here for revenge?
"Fight?" She asked, still not even bothering to move. It wouldn't be a very good fight but Nickeline was willing if that's what it took.

Eunomia frowned at the reaction, and then gave a very firm, "No." She wasn't too comfortable with 'no' in Greek yet, at least not under these circumstances. Maybe later in conversation but she very distinctly remembered Dana smacking her over it a lot so while there was broken and bleeding senshi in front of her was not the time to test how offensive she still was or not.
"No. No fight," She said, grabbing her arm now whether she liked it or not. "Doctor. Help. Hospital. Nosokomío."
Maybe she'd drop Nickels on the steps of the emergency room or something. Or not. She didn't know, she didn't have a plan, but the girl was clearly out of it and she had no idea how extensive it was or could be. She wasn't a doctor, and she would freely admit this.
"Come on. Need help."

Nickeline let out a ghastly yelp of pain when Eunomia grabbed her arm, drawing it back away from the other senshi with such force that her long black glove slipped off her arm from where Eunomia had been holding it. There on her arm were teeth marks, definitely teeth marks, all over it. Deep cuts and gashes, and a lot of dried blood. It was definitely not something you didn't simply grab.
Where she might have flipped and yelled at Eunomia, Nickeline's mouth was caught open when she heard the last line in the sentence. Who was this b***h and where was Eunomia? Eunomia didn't know Greek! She shook her head, covering her bare arm with her other as to draw the attention away from it. Well, there was no way she was going to the hospital! Her parents would definitely find out and she was not having any part of that.
"νοσοκομείο..." she mumbled, her accent quite deep, as if she was considering the option for a minute. If she went to the hospital she would stir up too much trouble when they went to process her. She couldn't have her family finding out about it, and just thinking about it, an expression of horror fell over her face. She couldn't allow her grandfather to worry over what doctor's would diagnosed as an animal attack. America is unsafe! They would make her return and that would cause more issues than she already had!
"No," she insisted, making her way up to her feet rather unhappily.
"Fine Nickeline." She tried to say. Just look at her, she was even standing!
A pause, grey eyes looking at Eunomia.
"Leave."
She didn't need help.

Eunomia frowned and stared at her. Should she have felt bad for hurting her? Maybe a little. But she didn't. She was all business and her business right now was making sure she didn't die or anything. She didn't like that she was in pain, but she was more concerned about stopping the bleeding than the comfort of the bleeder.
Eunomia somehow managed to fail at coddling and excel at mothering at the same time.
"No," She said stubbornly when she was told to leave. It also occurred to her that 'what happened' was a phrase missing her from vocabulary, which she saw as a grievous oversight on the part of whoever designed these lessons.
She had to resort to English for this one with no Greek supplemental. "What happened?" Though her mind was already assuming it involved a knight or eternal and Nickels' pride was just hurt.

The blood wasn't that bad, if you asked Nickeline, and her opinion was obviously the only one here that mattered. It was her body, and if she wanted to bleed out onto the floor very slowly then she would do so! Yes, she was that stubborn and no one was going to change her mind not even this senshi wearing a heart on her head. Well, if Eunomia wouldn't leave then she would leave.
Nickeline began walking away rather slowly when the question perked her ears, causing her to stumble a bit and stop. What happened? A crazy b***h named Sassolite thought she was all mighty Queen, ruler of Nickeline. This position made her think she could boss Nickeline around and make her do all sorts of crazy s**t at her bidding, and when Nickeline didn't do it well... what happened to Nickeline is what happened.
"Negaverse," she muttered, accent hanging deep on this strange word, before moving forward again.

Well that was an unsettling answer to a variety of reasons. Maybe if she hadn't seen Virtus, she'd blow it off as one instance of infighting, but two corrupted senshi beaten on by their own?
Chaos really did ******** a person up.
"Why?" She asked, brow knit in confusion and dread. "You're on their, why would they hurt you?" Not that Eunomia totally hadn't tried to hurt her herself, especially with goals such as 'grind her pretty little face into the asphalt', but that was okay. They were enemies.
Nickeline had been hurt by her own, and that was disgusting.
"What about our bet?" She asked in a hail Mary as she stumbled after her, still dumbfounded.

Why was a word that Nickeline never had a problem understanding a frankly it came up a lot. It had been at the top of her list to understand along with who, what, when and where. It had been a good thing she did because people asked a ******** lot of questions. Sighing, Nickeline leaned back against the wall. Why? Why was the best of all the questions. Why had this happened? Well, not only was Sassolite batshit insane but also Nickeline did unforgivable things apparently. She knew this now, and she knew what it meant. She would no longer see any guardian cats and she wouldn't have to be punished anymore.
Okay, maybe that wasn't exactly what Sassolite wanted but it wasn't what she didn't want so Nickeline would wave it off as a language issue, and since Sassolite would never see her talking to guardian cats ever again there wouldn't be any issues. What about talking to White Moon senshi though? Grey eyes fell toward Eunomia with mild concern, waving off her initial question on why when the word bet was brought up.
They had a bet? Nickeline thought about it and then tilted her head in a little 'I'm thinking' sort of manner. Nope, nothing.
"What?"

Eunomia frowned and crossed her arms. "Learning to speak your language, b***h," She was so insulted there was resistance to cashing in on all of this suffering she'd done. Nickeline owed her.
She owed her plus one side switch, damn it.
Her challenge had been acknowledged when she shouted it at her, and now this b***h was trying to pretend she didn't know what she was talking about. "Why would you even want to stay with them anyway?"
Honestly, she barely wanted to fight for the White Moon and while she found her teammates annoying, coming to violent terms would have her so gone.

This is what it sounded like in Nickeline's ears: Blah blah blah blah blah b***h.
If Eunomia wanted to make a point, she'd have to find another way to do so because Nickeline clearly wasn't understanding it. In fact, she was kind of getting ready to leave, her head craning this way and that. She was worried about one thing right now and that was having to have another "talk" to Sassolite about what she should and should not do blah blah blah.

Eunomia's mouth pressed into a straight line. She was so unamused with this b***h. She was right here, trying to be this altruistic giver who even when so far as trying to learn the dumbest language in the world to try to make some line of communication with her and she was just flippant in her little pool of blood.
"Stop it," She said, the utter contempt she was feeling managing to lace itself through two words with amazing bluntness for the short sentence.
"Stop trying to running away and get help." Which was more or less Eunomia code for 'cooperate before I punch you.'

A punch in the face would have probably been a lot more effective lecture than the one Eunomia was trying to give her. However, Nickeline's body was tired and she waved her hand at Eunomia in a manner that suggest she understood already. Of course, she didn't say that so it was hard to tell exactly. She simply walked a bit more, staggering a bit but too proud to hold onto the wall any longer or even ask Eunomia for help.
"O.K," she said as she rounded a corner of the building.
It was fun to mess with people but Nickeline's heart felt relieved for a moment. She might have been confused at first but she wasn't dumb enough not to realize that Eunomia had spoken in Greek, even if very poorly. Although she'd never admit it, what she sounded like speaking in English was probably very similiar to Eunomia as Eunomia speaking in Greek was to her. With that thought, she paused at the side of the building.
"Thanks, Eunomia." She said softly.
"b***h," she added in English with a coo, smiling before she turned the corner and used all the energy she had saved to book it as fast as she could. Even she knew the danger of lingering, the threat of revealing herself or getting caught in a fight she couldn't even defend herself from. When she got around another building she powered down and let out a cry.
She hurt.
She hurt so much.
It would take her all night to get back to her dorm but she was stubborn and although the hospital was closer there was no way she was going there.
