[it's after everyone fusses after him - because she's rather sure she doesn't have the right to approach him. not when she's pretty sure what got him in such trouble, and she—
. . .
I don't want anyone to get hurt, she'd said.
oh, what does that matter now?
but wherever giyuu is, she's gonna be searching for him.]
... Might I have some of your time?
[she'll ask this time, as polite as she ever gets]
[ given his condition, giyuu wouldn't be very far from the nurse's office. he'll likely have been stubborn enough to stumble a short ways away from it because he doesn't want to just sit in a single place.
well, not in this environment. nevertheless, he'll greet lili with a curt nod. ]
Of course.
[ he sounds positively exhausted and looks horrible, but he's pushing through it all. no need to be dramatic. ]
[ kara? who is kara? bold of anyone to think that kara or giyuu have traded names.
but he'll move onto the part that matters and, well, the root of why he did what he did and what he has been doing. he's exhausted but he'll do his best to stand firm here he stands. ]
Exactly.
[ no hesitation or room for arguing here. ]
I never planned to play by their rules, and I still don't. [ he takes a moment to look where his right arm used to be... ] However, I do plan on being more careful.
[ you know, since he only has so many limbs left to lose? ]
... I would hope so. Dimitri and Shinobu will fret about you, and I can't really forgive anyone who makes Dimitri unhappy.
[when did dimitri get himself an attack kitten.
but regardless - ]
... you've already sacrificed enough for us anyway. The rest of us just ought to be working harder so you're not the only one who has to make the hard decisions. Or that you aren't in that position in the first place.
he has to correct her about a few things first... ]
Kocho's furious with me and I'm uncertain of what Dimitri feels.
[ they might have been the ones to help treat him after he lost his arm but he's not a complete idiot when it comes to the two of them. just mostly an idiot when it comes to the two of them. ]
But losing an arm is a fair price for what is at stake here; don't think it won't stop me from continuing to do my part in all of this. [ sorry not sorry?? why would any of them simply stop just because they lost a limb? ] Others can do more if they feel the need but I won't back down from what I've started.
Being mad at someone doesn't take away from how much you care about them.
[if anything, she'd understand being angry at someone for doing something that caused them to get hurt? if kara did the same thing as giyuu, she would be worried, but also deeply angry as a kneejerk reaction. she's too emotional for otherwise.
though she nods when giyuu continues to speak.]
I imagine it won't. I don't think that your resolve is so flimsy that you'd be intimidated by something like this. [considering what it took to say something in the first place?] I don't want to ask more of you today after you've already given so much but...
... if there's anything I can offer you in the future, just say so. Even if all I have is information - but if you'd like to take my healing serum, it's yours. I don't think Yin Yu or Flayn would be angry at me for offering it.
[ "being mad at someone doesn't take away from how much you care about them.."? giyuu tomioka will....remember this. when it's convenient for him. maybe. ]
Information is valuable given the situation that we find ourselves in. [ what they need more desperately than anything is information. as much information as they can get and for it to be spread as wide as possible.
but when lili mentions the healing item giyuu frowns and outright turns away from her when she mentions flayn and yin yu. ]
I won't. I'll be fine with the medication that we already have available here. It will be more important for those who come out far more injured than myself.
.... not to be offensive, but even after we've gone through some of those, I don't think anyone's suffered as grievous an injury as you have.
I don't think anyone would be opposed to you healing yourself if only to make things a bit simpler.
[like there's akira's eye but he also said no re: the healing so.]
But if you're certain....
Have you spoken to the group that broke into Purple Heart's cabin earlier this week then? I think they received some of the most pressing information thus far.
[ it's not offensive and she's not wrong. no one has lost any limbs and most can be treated with normal bandages. giyuu required much more intensive care and will have to continually make sure it's fine.
still— ]
I'm certain. [ firmly. ] We don't know what the future will hold for us and an item like that might save a person's life instead of making me feel more comfortable.
[ he has been stitched up and bandaged. there is medication he can take&dmash;is taking. his quality of life is as good as it can get given the circumstances. ]
But, no, I haven't. [ or he doesn't think? ] Who are some of them?
[he's not wrong - it's the main reason why she's been holding onto it in the first place, but also. losing an arm definitely seems up there on life-threatening injuries if he wasn't treated in time but.
well, she won't argue it.]
Dick, Sanji, and Yasusada.
They broke in and encountered more illusions - residuals, or whatever - but ended up finding a journal of PH's recollections from when they first arrived at camp.

no subject
she's going to start by bowing at the waist, lowering her head to him.]
.... I said that I didn't want anyone to get hurt - but I still questioned you. And I respect your decision, and acknowledge what you've done for us.
[ . . . ]
Even so, I'm sorry.
no subject
....
giyuu will look away from lili and at the ground. ]
You don't have to apologize to me. [ he sounds apologetic in his own right. ] You did nothing wrong and it was my information to give.
[ his voice changes slightly for the frustration building within him&mdasht;his exhaustion still lacing every word he says. ]
I'm tired of the secrets that we're forced to keep.
no subject
... you and Kara really do seem similar sometimes.
[she might've been hearing that a lot lately, but she nods.]
You're not the only one. It's stupid, and frustrating - and feels like we'll get nowhere at all if we don't start to break these chains.
