[hostage]

Not dead and I'll be home soon, no big deal.

Just some stitches and whatever.

And no I don't remember anything.

[All in reference to the news.]

[Alice has a whole speech prepared for you Jesse.]

Jesse, there aren't enough words to describe how...upset and sorry and angry I am about this attack. By the time I saw it, calling you would've only given him more time to...

[Well, let's not dwell in that. That future never happened anyway.]

There isn't anything that isn't my fault about this, so please let me at least pay your hospital bills and any related fees. It's the very bare minimum I can do. Anything else you want, or need, please let me know. I...I'm forever in your debt for this. I just want to make this right.

[hostage]

I don't need your money.

Are you sure you're okay?! Does it hurt a lot?

[ private ]

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

Please. Let me do something.

[ private ]

[hostage]

Don't worry I won't talk.

[hostage]

The doctors are taking real good care of me.

What do you remember?

[Private, Text]

[hostage]

It was personal. I handled it.

[There's a long pause. Then:]

Good.

[reassures]

Are you protecting them?

[Or is he being blackmailed? Both seem likely when it comes to Jesse.]

[text; private]

[hostage]

I'm not a snitch.

[text; private]

[reassures]

I know.

Are they going to come after you again?

[ private ]

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

Do you honestly think I'm paying you off to stay quiet? Do you really think that's all I care about?

You're hurt because I was a selfish idiot and I want to help you, Jesse.

[treehopping]

Do you need anything? I could bring you anything you want.

[hostage]

They'd be stupid to try it.

[hostage]

Thanks Rue but I'll be OK and I'll be going home soon anyway.

[ private ]

[hostage]

I don't need help.

[the_dead_pool2]

So, vampire attack huh.

[text - private]

[hostage]

Yeah

[text; private]

[hostage]

I'm not worried.

[text; private]

[reassures]

Alright.




I'll look out for Lisbeth until you're back.

[text; private]

[hostage]

She's here and it won't be long anyway, just waiting for my healer.

[text; private]

[reassures]

Then-- let me know if I can do anything.

They are quick buggers, I'll give them that. You know what type hit you?
