week 01 - friday evening (erhard muller)

[eisenundblut]

[Knock knock bitch, it's your homeland calling!! Even if you don't remember her at all, it's fine!! She's used to being forgotten! She loves it!!]

Oi, Erhard? You in there?

Comments

[eisenundblut]

Thanks.

[She lets herself in and closes the door behind her, crossing to take a seat on the bed next to him. Because... she's a jerk... and doesn't respect other people's space.]

How you holding up, kid?

[chiralreaction]

[ THANKS..... Prussia not respecting space does catch Erhard off guard A LOT... But he doesn't show it? He just gives her a look, then back down to the floor he's staring at. It's fine. He's fine. ]

Nothing different to report. We found some -- items in the longhouse earlier, but...

[ Hand to forehead. He can't help but feel a bit... Upset? Especially after they 'found' Haru's head. ]

We didn't get a chance to save her...

[eisenundblut]

[A corner of her lip twitches up into a tired smile. Nothing new to report, huh...? Reminds her of her cute little sister. Sure enough, this kid is one of her people.

It doesn't hold, though, and she exhales quietly through her nose.]

Yeah. Sometimes you just don't get that chance. Lots of times, there's nothing you can do. Can't beat yourself up about it, you know?

[chiralreaction]

All we can do now... Is find the culprit.

[ Even so, he can't really shake off the feeling. Strange...

But!! He's a doctor right? He's suppose to save lives? Clearly, he's not doing a good job and it's frustrating. Okay, okay, okay... Take your mind off of that, Erhard. Change the subject. ]

And... How are you doing today, after everything?

[eisenundblut]

Yeah. We will.

[She opens her mouth as if she might continue in that vein, maybe talk about investigation work or -- something. Something to try to make sense of what had happened. Talking about it like that is the best way to help, isn't it?

She looks taken aback when he asks about her, mouth closing as she glances to him with unmuted surprise.]

Me?

[She... looks like she genuinely didn't expect to have the question turned on her.]

I'm pissed off. Sad, but mostly angry. You don't fuck with a body like that by accident, you know.

[He's a doctor, after all!]

Glad you're okay, though.

[chiralreaction]

[ HE SURE HOPES.

A part of him really wants to work hard to make sure they find that culprit. At least, if ... It's not the chiefs. Everyone is suspected until proven otherwise, though. ]

It's clearly not an accident, that's for sure. I just don't want any more... Casualties.

[ he just... Closes his eyes. ]

You don't have to worry about me.

[ Sorry, he's not much of a talker. ]

[eisenundblut]

Most of us don't, I bet.

[She clicks her tongue impatiently before patting his shoulder. Pat pat. Get used to casual affection she's your mom now.]

'Course I do. You're one of my people.

[Prussia will now Die For You.]

I'll do whatever I can to get us through this.

[chiralreaction]

[ He stiffens up because he's not use to the affection!!! Hello... What is this. Excuse me! Prussia you're being too good to him. This is such a change from his cold prison fridge. ]

I... See.

[ He's really feeling it. ]

I don't know if my skills will be any of use after today, but I hope I can do the same. I think.

... There has to be a way to make this right.

[eisenundblut]

You're a doctor!

[Oh no, he's a timid little bird... she loves him.]

Your skills are always gonna be useful. You can help people just by being around.

[Is... is that what doctors do??]

For now, all we can do is try to catch the bastard who did this to her. Make sure they don't go after anyone else like this again.
