Cat Spirit 7! [Action]

[As expected, joining the mallynap canonupdate bathtub brigade is (1) Taokaka. One depressed Taokaka. If you've ever wanted to see a depressed Kaka, now's your chance as the journal catches a small glimpse of a wet, dripping Tao face down in someone's filled bathtub. Ragna's, to be specific. Which looks kinda like she's dead. No bubbles at the surface...oh boy. It's a while of silence before she finally moves around, sloshing water over the sides and just...dictating 'meow's over the journal.]

Meow...meow...meow...

[Yeah. Tao's about as useless as Noel now because she doesn't know what the hell is going on. MOMMY DADDY STOP FIGHTING ;_;]

[And now with Ragna charging in closer, she can see barely more than shadows. Backing up a few steps, half out of fear over what Ragna is yelling for, half to try and clear her vision a little. What in the world is he so angry about, anyway?!

Forgetting Mantenbou at home was probably a bad idea, wasn't it?]

I... I'm only here to help Tao! Please, just let me see her!

[He stops. She was here to help Tao, and Tao needed help. Enemy or not, Litchi was still a doctor. His posture softens up a bit, but not by much.]

You get five minutes, then you have to get the hell out of here.

[Excuse him as he moves to leave the apartment. He doesn't want to be in the same room with her.] C'mon, Noel.

[Oh, thank god. Noel's secretly glad that this didn't escalate into an all-out brawl. As Ragna walks by, Noel moves to follow him, slowing down briefly to look at Litchi. Her face hides nothing; the doctor's presence is making Noel upset. She opens her mouth a little as if to say something to her, but...

...as soon as she does that, she quickly looks away, following Ragna out the door without a word.

Why...?]

[What... in the world...? Litchi can only barely make out Noel and Ragna's faces, but it's still clear: something definitely happened and she has no clue what it is. She... she hasn't spoken to either one much since they got back, has she?

...Was it something back home? But she never saw...

Forcing herself to move in the opposite direction of the incredible pull of the Azure, she swallows against the rapidly-forming lump of worry in her throat. Just tend to Tao for now. Worry about what happened later.]

Tao...

...Lie-chi. Why are they mad, meow?

[rageragerage gonna rage outside the ragepartment like a ragebucket full of rage.]

[Maybe she should try talking to Litchi soon.]

[Still not seeing entirely clear, but still well enough, Litchi kneels down beside the couch. Just hoping she can control her magic enough to do this right...]

To be honest... I really don't have any idea. But it'll be okay, Tao. I promise.

[Please, Nala, help this work right...!]

Okay... [nala work your magic or else tao will punt you]

[Yeah, hurry up and work so Ragna can throw Litchi out of the building.]

[--But...what should she say to her?]

[The magic is weak at first, but the more Litchi focuses, the more under control it is. Unfortunately, though, the distracting pull from out in the hall is slowing things down a bit.

But she's done healing Tao's wounds within the five minute time limit, at least.]

Tao feels better neow... [straightening up]

[Ragna wasn't eavesdropping through the door. Not at all. He just has really amazing timing, which is why he's coming back into the apartment right now. Five minutes or not, she's done. Right?]

You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. Get the hell out.

[Still not saying anything. Not unless a fight starts, though Litchi and Tao won't be able to see Noel; she's still standing by the door outside.]

[Looking confused and hurt, but still in no hurry to upset him any further, Litchi gives a small nod and rises to her feet again.

Slight wobble. The echoes are getting louder the longer she stays here. Best to just... leave.]

I... I'm sorry for intruding.

[While she is headed for the door, it's a little slow. Can't exactly see too well, and she can't walk where her feet are trying to take her, either.]

[Tao's just watching her go. Not like she has any choice in the matter besides leaving with Litchi or staying here. But hell, she's staying here for the time being until she gets bored. Sorry Litchi 8C]

[Ragna takes a moment to watch her, so that she doesn't pull anything on the way out. However, it seems like she was having difficulty leaving. More like... she was almost veering towards Noel and himself at times.

... Wait. A. Minute. WAAAAAAAAAAAIT A MINUTE.] You... Hurry up, already!

[What Ragna says catches Noel's attention, and she'll move from her spot next to the door to see what's going on. She stops abruptly the moment she lays eyes on Litchi. Something was seriously wrong. That much was obvious, but...

...what was this...strange feeling?

Now, Noel couldn't help but feel worried. This...something wasn't right. She steps forward very cautiously, to where she still wasn't in a close enough proximity to Litchi.]

Wh... What's wrong?

It... it's nothing.

[Except that it isn't. She can barely see at this point; the world is mainly shadows except for the twin bright blue points not that far off. She has to snap out of this and get out. It's not even because Ragna asked anymore; panic is swiftly building up and demanding that she get as far from the Azure as possible before the echoes can get any louder or the pull any stronger.

Focus, Litchi. Focus!

And it's starting to clear... The room brightening just enough for her to see clearly by, Litchi all but books it out the door.]

[Sup guise. Stiiiiiiill here. Looking worried.]

[Ragna watches her leave, then goes towards the bathroom. What better time to clean the bathroom to take a bath then now? Of course, the typical Ragna response to it all is, under his breath:]

I can't believe that she'd come over here. [... Like that.]

[After Litchi's left the floor, Noel will slowly close the door and lock it, leaning against it for a few moments to reel over what's happened. That feeling... it wasn't right. She wants to know what the hell happened just now.

Would Ragna have any idea?

She eyes the man as he enters the other room, and sighs deeply, pulling herself away from the door. Noel glances over to Tao and gives her a sorry smile.]

Tao, I'll be right back. I need to ask Ragna about something.
