Oh, honey. It's okay. I've got you.

[ he'll just let her cry, holding her close for as long as it takes ]

[ a few good minutes pass until she starts settling down again. ]

... I'll replace the carpet.

Don't worry about it. I'll tear it out at some point and tell maintenance the dog ate it.

[ That gets her to at least look up a little, to rest her chin on her knees. Still, though, she's not making eye contact, still staring down at the bloodied floor. ]

You know that excuse never works.

Then I'll tell them the Qunari ate it. Either way, I'll get it taken care of.

[ That manages to get a small smile out of her. But, like, really tiny. ]

Charlie, no. Just let me take care of it, please.

You're going to have to fight Peter for it, because he offered, too.

What.

Why?

He felt bad for barging in, I guess.

[ s m h ]

That's silly. He saved Glitch and I.

Someone feeling guilty for something that they have no reason to feel guilty for? Gee, how weird. I don't know anybody else who does that.

[ A beat. And then a sigh. ]

Guess Star-Lord and I have another thing in common, huh?

Dibs on replacing the carpet.

If you've really decided you need to, I guess I won't stop you.

How are you feeling?

It's the least I could do.

And--I feel fine. [ Sort... of... There's a remnant of pain that remains, but for the most part? It's the exhaustion. Even without the raid having happened, Kasumi's not exactly the best at slowing down once she's gotten into her busy work. ]

Ken... He did a good job.

He did. He's a good kid- I hate to put him through that kind of thing, but I'm glad he was able to help.

[ He glances up, to the small gash in the ceiling left by Ken's Persona ] I was not expecting a saw blade monster, though.

Me too.

To be honest, I was barely conscious when that happened. I--I remember what he did, but...

He... shot himself in the head with a fake gun and summoned some kind of creature that healed you.

... Sentences I never thought I'd have to say.

Yeah. Definitely remember that as being right around the time I slipped away.

I mean, he's told me what he has to fight at home and all, but... God.

Same. I thought Peter was gonna have a heart attack.

What a mess that would have been, huh?

... I'm sorry for putting everyone through this.

It's not like you asked for the base to get raided, and no one wants to get stabbed. It's no more your fault than it is mine.

[ she shrugs. ]

I can name a few people who'd be overjoyed to hear the news that I'd been stabbed.

[ its... A joke. A terrible, terrible joke. ]

First of all, you should name them so I can go beat them up.

Second of all, that still doesn't make it your fault.

--I was joking, Charlie. Please don't go fight the mob bosses.

Hey, if I had to, I would.

... You know, you're free to lie low here for as long as you need.
