[ Dorothy says this a bit blankly and even when he asks and her face falls a bit, that confusion is still very much written all over it.
But still, she does her best to answer, glancing down a bit ruefully at her leg.
It's in a splint. The bandages covering her abdomen are hidden from view and the friction burn around her neck is also obscured by the blanket she's wrapped herself in. Honestly, she thinks, he's asked a valid question. ]
[ But she smiles at them both, careful to shake her head to avoid triggering another bout of lightheadedness. ]
Taako, Miss Yoshizawa, Rufus and I found ourselves across the bridge earlier today. We took two different paths at the beginning, but it seems they both resulted in ending at a school for graduation.

[Owner? What owner? This cat totally does what it wants! Free kitty! Well, until it wants food and affection.]
[Just going to sniff at Dorothy's hair, now. Little does he know that its owner is on his way! Can't be free for long, cat.]

[Calls a man's voice from outside the doorframe. The cat sticks out its tongue in a surprised-looking blep.]
Treasure, you rascal - [And Hansa comes past the doorway, looking in.] Oh. There you are.
[His eyebrows raise.]
...I'm sorry, Dorothy. Was he bothering you?
no subject
[ Dorothy says this instantly, even as she lifts both eyebrows in return and just-- gives up on getting up. It's fine, mission accomplished. ]
Although I'd no idea you had a cat in the first place.

[He's walking inside - Treasure shifts away from Dorothy, trotting over to rub against Hansa's legs.]
Anyways...what are you doing here?

[He follows his gaze down to her leg, his own face falling. Yikes. Dorothy, what in the world did you get into...?]
From...what, exactly? What happened to you?

I nearly died, then I actually died, then I may have nearly died again.
[ He is not the only master of being mysterious!!
Though she then adds, quietly-- ]
Perhaps we ought to talk?
no subject
[His tone is very dry as he walks over to sit down, crosslegged, near her. Treasure follows, slumping against Hansa's side.]
Sure. Talk away. I'm...still trying to piece together my thoughts about what I went through, myself.

[Ah. Graduation, huh......something twitches in his expression, but he keeps lightly smiling.]
I guess that hit a littler closer to home than for the rest, huh?

Sermons included.
[ She's tired. ]
no subject
[That makes him raise an eyebrow.]
What, was it like Catholic school?
no subject
[ Yep. Poor Rufus had to answer questions. ]
no subject
...I'm guessing Rufus didn't have a good time with that.
no subject
[ So no, he did not have a good time.
ALSO WHY DO YOU FORGET THIS WEEK WHEN SHE WANTS TO KNOW IF PRIESTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ALARMING. ]

And you? You don't sound all that enthused.
no subject
Faith in anything besides myself has never gotten me anywhere.

What things?

I just don't think prayers or reaching out for help accomplished much. So I didn't give them the answers they wanted.
