[He raps his knuckles against the door lightly as he walks in, since he figures that even if Charlie is asleep, she'd want to be awake to talk to Setsuna.
He stays close to his friend, offering quiet support.]
action at the hospital: when did a hospital visit suddenly sound naughty? hang on a sec
[Charlie's awake. She won't be sleeping properly without some serious pharmaceutical assistance which she probably won't take anyway. A nurse is inspecting the message Karl carved into her back, checking stitches. Charlie will have the words "Come home, Saya " on her back for a good, long while.
When the nurse informs her she has guests, Charlie turns to look and its very clear she wasn't expecting this at all. Her visible arm is covered bruises and scrapes. Her other arm is wrapped in plaster from wrist to elbow and from the way she sits, some of her ribs might be bruised. The nurse leaves an Charlie waves Setsu]a and Kira in.]
action at the hospital: since Charlie met Angel Sanctuary characters;
[Kira keeps a hand on Setsuna's shoulder, squeezing it when he feels him tense. He's not exactly surprised by the sight, he understands Karl, perhaps a little too well.]
[It might be Kira's hand alone that keeps him from flying off right then. This is why he needed him around. His expression hardens, anger and disappointment mixing.]
Saya went with him, to prevent anything else, and to get your location.
[His hands ball up into fists.] He's gonna pay for this. I promise.
action at the hospital: nothing to worry about, for the devil Kira's nice!
[Setsuna shakes his head.] I've always been able to kick his ass, I just don't. I've always held back.
But Saya.... She CHOSE to go, even if it was by force. She has to make him understand herself what she really wants, or this sort of thing is going to continue, even after we get her back.
She has to walk away herself. Otherwise he'll twist it to us "taking her away".
Would the City police be able to do anything? [Shes hesitant to ask. Not that she doesn't trust them. It just seemed potentially problematic to involve them. Then again, she's frightened of Karl. A lot seems impossible at the moment.]
[There's an uncomfortable shift of Setsuna's weight as he looks to the floor.]
I'm on the force, remember? And I can do something about it. I joined up with them so they would have someone to help with super natural issues like this.
[As for Saya, Setsuna sighs.] You're probably right, Senpai. But it's better for everyone if she does it herself. I'll go there. And I'll give her the path. I'll make sure she knows she isn't trapped. I'll give her the choices.
But I'm not walking all over what she did back there. That's like slapping her gift back in her face.
She did this for Charlie. For me.

'action at the hospital' ...that sounds so much more interesting than it is.

...that's what he did? [He's getting pissier by the second, and he's only seen her arms.] Is that why you haven't been answering your device?

Re: action at the hospital: merlin won't approve
[Gee, she's so talkative.]
Opportunistic little shit. Merlin isn't in the City. I was headed home from our honeymoon aline.
[Charlie's sure if Merlin were there, this wouldn't have happened.]

Focus on getting Saya away. Hard to make that bastard pay.
Re: action at the hospital: nothing to worry about, for the devil Kira's nice!
And we've got to get Saya back. I worry Karl will turn her into someone like him.

[Not that he's invested in Saya, but Setsuna is and, well...]
It is going to continue either way. He is obsessed with her.

I'll come with you.
