[Thanks, his vision's already half-terrible, lighting is great for the side that still works properly.]
He tried to trick me into thinking he would, but no, he never hurt me. He did "joke" about being willing to kill people, only to make fun of me for believing him.
[He felt justified taking said "joke" seriously then and he feels especially justified after tonight.]
( It's mood lighting, ok... He also seems unable to light it any brighter; his heart's unstable.
Ahito's report on Khun is... not surprising, he guesses. He barely had the chance to talk to Khun before he went off, but it seems to check out, considering.
Absently, Mika brings a hand to his neck... strangely, where the beheading was attempted, there remains the beginning of a scar. )
... Not much. We were talking about nothing. I could suddenly hear his thoughts, and I let him know. When I did, he launched into an attack.
( There's one more detail to it - the mention of Khun's dead friend - but Mika holds onto that fact, for now. He would deny it's out of a sense of empathy, and it isn't, exactly, but ... he doesn't feel the need to go out of his way to mention it.
In Mika's assessment, it would probably set Khun off on a second murder attempt, anyway, if he knew Ahito knew. And he might not be so lucky as Mika to survive it. )
... There should be something done about these volatile variables. ( He doesn't say Khun's name, because he's also including himself. ) If something set him off, his "joke" probably would've become real with you, too.
( Khun's speed makes him a problem. While it might not be a bad idea to tell Ahito to call for help - Mika would hear it, so long as he's on manor grounds - there's a good chance he'd be dead before anyone gets there... Maybe it would be better to kill Khun now, before he becomes a problem.
The question borrows him from his scarlet thoughts, and gives him pause. He... shakes his head. )
... Like I should be in a cage. But that's not feasible right now. ( An unusual follow-up for Mika, but maybe good progress?(?)(?) ) How was everyone stopped? Khun, me... Ginger. There's too many things that can go wrong...
( He's been worrying himself sick over everything, it seems, )
[Mika no, he said this to assuage your guilt not send you on a manhunt!!]
Pretty sure we're fresh out of cages anyway. [Dude......] I was kind of busy, but... Pretty sure Ginger went to attack Khun and Malice went to separate the two of them?
( Realistically, Mika knows there's not a lot people could've done to triage that situation - feeding him blood to address the frenzy isn't very effective when your neck has a hole, but healing him when he's about to frenzy is a risk. Still, Mika can't help but fuss anyway. )
Range works. Yamato's idea wasn't bad, either. Knocking out everyone involved first might be a middle ground until you can manage ranged healing.
It's worth the risk. It's that or hunger frenzy - and you guys got the frenzy.
( ...
Though, )
... The guy with the hat did come around to put strengthen charm on me. He said it'd stop me if I frenzied, but I wouldn't put all my eggs in any basket.
He doesn't have a heartbeat, like me. I don't know if that means he's undead like me, though.
( Vampire? Zombie? Mika only knows about vampires, so he has no idea what else would qualify. But if he's a vampire, he doesn't think he likes him (Mika prejudice mode activated for literally no reason). Still, he knows he can't say for certain either way. )
... I can hear your muscles twitching and your blood's flow. The way your guts move around and your bones shift. And pretty much everything on manor grounds. Not everything's distinct, but I could pick out a scream, for example.

What happened between you two, anyway?

That's why I've been trying to avoid him.
[Unfortunately, Khun is very good at the seeking part of hide and seek.]
That guy... it's too easy to imagine he hates the idea of anyone knowing what he's thinking.
Anyway, speaking of- how are you feeling?

—Did he hurt Ginger when he separated them?
no subject
Ginger looked okay when he took you away, though?
no subject
... He was pretty hurt. ( ... But... ) I didn't see anything except the injuries from... those icicles, I think.
( So Malice gets to live another night... for now,
He sighs. )
... You shouldn't have been so close to me during all that.

no subject
[He is not going to just blast everyone with offensive magic. That is probably a poor idea, even if everyone's now Wizard.]
I guess I'll just leave that part to him next time.

I didn't notice... but I don't exactly try to spend time with him, either.
[Weighing his curiosity about this mystery versus.......... interacting with him......................]
no subject
( So, yk. )
... If you do talk to him, be careful. If he's a vampire, I mean. Malice is decent for a vampire, but that's just luck.

[Because Wanderer stuck him in a whirlwind their first day of practice...]
Just how good is "better?"
