...If you'd like.

[as he comes closer, it seems like her eyes are red, but her emotions are mostly numb at this point. she isn't crying anymore.]

[dms]

It's fine. I got some experience in dealing with burns over the last few days - might as well put it good use.

[ he'll come and help, projecting calm, soothing feelings. ]

Here. Where'd it hit you?

[allomantic]

[she rolls up her sleeves - since they were fireworks, it isn't as bad as a more serious explosive, but the burns are still visible on her arms.]

They aren't that extensive.

[dms]

[ i personally don't know much about managing burns but kazu will help sort that out ]

That's good. Part of him would have been trying not to hurt you, anyway. He wasn't all gone.

[allomantic]

[something goes tight in her emotions, but she nods.]

...I imagine so. He was strong.

[dms]

One of the strongest! You have to admire him for it, don't you?

[ ...there's a slight hesitation and muted concerned vibes, but. ]

Hey, you remember what I said before? You have someone to talk about things with if you have to, right? Or just... to spend time with, so you don't have to be alone?

[allomantic]

[why didn't i get this notif i'm crying

but she nods.]

I do, but...

[dms]

[ tilts his head. ]

But...?

[allomantic]

...I am sure you will disagree, but I wonder if it would be better to be alone.

[dms]

Yeah, I think I do disagree. I've been alone before, and I don't think I'd want to go back to it no matter how hard it gets - even in a place like this.

...But I know it is hard. So... I'm sorry, Vinniko.

[allomantic]

[she's quiet for a moment, before she shakes her head.]

You have nothing to be sorry for.

[dms]

Maybe not, but I still wish this hadn't happened to either of you. Especially if it hurts enough to make you feel like being alone could be better.

[allomantic]

...That's usually been the case. It's nothing new.
