Okay fine THROUGH THE HOLE IN HIS SHIRT Lavi can tell that it's not fully healed, but it's not actively bleeding, so he can RELAX
Abruptly, Kanda blinks.]
--Oh. Stupid Rabbit.
[Oh okay
He takes out a box I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WOULD FIT IN HIS POCKET I guess it would because he has man pockets whatever BUT HE TAKES OUT A BOX and shoves it at Lavi. Take this]
[NOT FULLY HEALED IS BAD?????? But before he can fuss Kanda is shoving a box at him, which he grabs at so that it doesn't fall straight into the swamp -- wouldn't that be funny.... He blinks down at it and then up at Kanda.
He said my name. Does he remember? Then what was that before?]
[HE'S BEEN STOCKHOLMED INTO ACCEPTING STUPID RABBIT AS HIS NAME OKAY
Lavi just makes. a face. when he sees this, and then closes the lid so he can tuck the box away in HIS very comfy pockets that can hold many things, like this bandage he's also taking out,]
[Lavi knows how these trips go -- and that whatever happened to Kanda wasn't his fault, (even the BAD ROLLS) but he still flinches at the thought anyway.
Stop it. He's here now.]
You're barely standing.
[he runs the towel a few more times through Kanda's hair, and then moves so he can support him,]
And you've got whatever the swamp decided to give you this time -- and whatever's left over from your trip.
[Well, that annoys him into straightening up; he can walk JUST FINE, thank you!!! He takes a few steps forward out of spite before his lack of an ear and nerfed balance catch up to him and he wobbles slightly. Damn. Maybe he does need the help after all.]
He'll just grab Kanda's arm before he wobbles his way back to the ground, and sling it over his shoulders]
It's your ear. You're gonna have shitty balance until you get used to it.
[Is using the swamp again worth it? Why do these trips have to fucking happen on Thursday? I could use the item, but it might end up cursing Yuu instead. Goddamn.]
Tell that fussy doctor or whoever that you'll check me next time. If anything's weird, we'll catch it early.
[And maybe it'll give Lavi time to find the strength to do what needs to be done. Even after last week, even knowing what a burden it is to place on Lavi's shoulders--Kanda still trusts Lavi the most with this.]
[Now it's Lavi's turn to descend into petulant silence.... which is unfair because this isn't an insensible request. It makes sense to check Kanda next time, and to do it himself, because he doesn't know if he can trust anyone else -- which is unfair, because Mathis did a fine job. But the problem lies in it being someone else in the first place. also
Wasn't he there with you? ...I guess he did say he didn't really notice what was going on.]
Alright.
[You better make it through tomorrow.
and insert SMASHCUT HERE after yuffie and kanda talk because now Lavi is insanely worried for a different reason. he is looking at Kanda now they're alone in their room. he keeps on looking at him which must be so annoying,]
But yes, smashcut to post-Yuffie chat and probably post-a few other things too; every now and then he looks at Lavi blankly, brief stutters of memory before recognition returns. He goes to sit by the pyre for a little while so that other people can come interrogate him like nosy Nancys, but he comes back to the house early, tired and in pain whenever the numbness fades.
He hates everything about what Kanda went through in the last twenty four hours, but he wasn't there for it in the same way he is now, reminded every time he lifts his eyes to look over at Kanda and wonders if he'll see recognition or -- nothing.
At least this time it feels like recognition,]
Do you still not remember who those people were? The boy with the tail and the markings, and the girl you fought after.
[...He doesn't understand how this works -- would Kanda only remember if they were in front of him, like Lavi is now?
He had to have recognized them while fighting -- how else would Kanda have lost? Did he forget them because he died? Surely, this is one of the effects from the trip -- and when trial comes around, Kanda will remember again.
Right?]
The girl's name is Lenalee. And the other person... is Alma. They're both people who are important to you.

no subject
Anyway inside the box is... a heart!!! Wowie

Keep it with yours. I don't want to carry it. [Kanda can you stop dumping your stuff on Lavi please]
no subject
Lavi just makes. a face. when he sees this, and then closes the lid so he can tuck the box away in HIS very comfy pockets that can hold many things, like this bandage he's also taking out,]
Turn around.
[I don't like how that stab wound looks.]
no subject
They must've sent him back before me.
He doesn't say that, though, just starts stripping out of this wet and stupid outfit so he can get changed.]
It's fine. I can't even feel it.
no subject
That's a bad thing. [You're supposed to feel it if you get hurt, you asshole.
WHY THE AGGRESSION DAMN, and anyway he unwinds the bandage so he can bind it up now that Kanda is completely naked?]
And I've been here the whole time. I wasn't wherever you were.
no subject
HE'S THE VICTIM HERE GOD!!! But whatever he TCHes grouchily because they're stupid teenagers]
How would you know? You weren't conscious, idiot.
[ALSO STOP HE'S NOT COMPLETELY NAKED HE'LL SWAP HIS PANTS BEFORE HE SWITCHES HIS SHIRT since Lavi is being so FUSSY]
no subject
a little thunderstorm cloud of Emotions hovers over his head]
Cause I was conscious and here.
I told you that I saw you when I went on mine, remember? But that it wasn't really you. This is the same thing.
no subject
He doesn't look wholly convinced, but... he trusts Lavi, so he nods.
If he says so.]
no subject
...You scared the shit out of me.
[You were standing, and then you just. Fell over. I didn't even see Daan. All I could see was you.]
no subject
He doesn't apologize, even though he probably should.
...At least he didn't see me die again.]
I'm fine now. [Alive, at least. Like he always is.]
no subject
Stop it. He's here now.]

[OH THE DESIRE TO STOMP OFF IS SO STRONG... OH IT'S STRONG... BUT WHAT IF HE FALLS ON HIS FACE AND LAVI TRIES TO CARRY HIM.... EURGH
Allows this but looks mad about it, at least until he catches that thought.]
What item?
no subject
[their ENDLESS CURSE ITEMS]
But it's got a fifty fifty chance of cursing someone or healing them. And I definitely don't want to curse you before curfew.
[what if kanda REMAINS CURSED during MURDER NIGHT]
no subject
Don't curse me. [HE SAID HE WOULDN'T but still... this is the correct choice]
no subject
You already get cursed enough.
[You better not get cursed on Saturday either.]
no subject
