"Of course I care--I have no idea what the hell happened to you." He nudged her in an attempt to help her up as Kiba sat in an exhausted stupor. "Everyone was freaking out a while ago."

She managed to sit up as well, rubbing her forehead. Hearing him, she turned, and her expression was actually surprised--there weren't many who'd say that. Again, she was reminded of Link...except that where he'd always seemed so distant, even when she was right with him, Tsume was here and actually taking an interest in her. It was maybe not the time to dwell on it, precisely, now...
"Uhh. Thanks. ...Well, long story short, I tried to help Richard over there," she gestured, wearily, "get back the throne with my army." She looked around at the remaining soldiers, and the dead ones. That stung. "But then, something...something really creepy happened and everyone started panicking. It wasn't even me!"

"Something DID smell a little weird when I first got here," Tsume agreed. "I guess one of the people you were fighting did some sort of magic to spook everyone."

"Oh, that's low," Midna replied, shaking her head and recovering enough to be angry now. "That's really low. I bet it was the idiot with the cannon, too. I'll be having a talk with him later. ...But what about you? You're not hurt, are you? I'm sorry if my soldiers were a little...overzealous. I didn't know you were nearby."

"I just got here--someone has to keep Kiba from getting roasted," Tsume answered. "He probably killed a few of them, though. He said he had to keep them from reaching Helen--never mind that this city is a few days away from Lorien even for US."

"I'm starting to get the impression that he's having some slight problems with overprotectiveness,"Midna commented drily, then pausing to cough heavily. "I don't really care about Helen; I mean, she goes her way, I go mine, for the most part." She sighed, and leaned back.
"While you're here, umm...this is a bit embarrassing but...I'm not strong enough to even float...c-could you..carry me back through the portal, please...?" She nodded in its direction, making her dizzy.

"Sure, get on." He ignored Midna's (probable) joke about Kiba's issues; what was he, stupid? and waited patiently for the princess to get on. Kiba was now waiting patiently (if reluctantly) a short distance behind him.

Yes, Midna was trying to joke. At the moment, though, she wasn't feeling up to her usual standards of snarkiness. "Thanks..." she murmured, sincerely, and hoisted herself up onto his back, sighing quietly as she lay there. This felt familiar. Well, at least it wouldnt' be hard to find the glowing hole in the world that would take them to her home. (( Oh, and by the way...))

*Beatrice heard the tussle and had ducked into the same alley in hopes of avoiding it. She worked longer hours now, having had to leave the palace, of course, to settle for a more convientional wash house. She sighed in frustration, for there was little fear that gripped her at the moment. She was more perplexed that she was unable to get hom just yet, confined to some bloody alley instead of a warm bed. Just the luck.
But then she heard a clatter amidst the garbage and she straightened, immediately on the offensive.*
"Ho, who goes there?" *She called out, though not so loud as to summon those on the street.*
"Make yourself known."

The voice was familiar, but he could not immediately place it. At first he thought it was Midna, monstrous and inky and coming after him for some amorphous betrayal. Then Marie, blaming him for leaving her, her eyes seeking him like torches in the dark alley.
Shivering under the discarded crates and papers, he could not feel his limbs. The false fear was wearing off but something had switched inside of him; the pressures of the revolution, the Twilight realm, and so ingloriously losing this battle tore at him, while the latent but every-present self-hatred had come to the forefront. It would take more than a cure for Horrible's bomb to fix this, in other words.
But the voice floated through his mind, until finally it caught on a memory, and he said, hoarsely, "Beatrice?"

*Now Beatrice had told herself she'd been prepared for many things, but that whatever it was should know her name...that was not one of them. She took a step closer cautiously, still ready to fight if it need be. Her eyes narrowed on the crumpled form, vaguely familiar and yet unnerving. Then it came to her.*
"Your...Majesty?" *She remembered that he'd married, increasing his station. It filled her with...something she refused to think on at the moment.*
"Tis you, truly?" *She approached a little faster, making her way to his side and kneeling next to him.*

"Don't look at me!" he cried, convinced, still, that his limbs were mangled and useless, what virility he ardently tried to display entirely absent. That was was true, at this point, but only because his mind had decided it was so. "It is not seemly, lady, to gloat in my fall from grace."

((Of course you aren't the Flower Maiden! You don't smell like flowers--you smell like darkness and magic and stuff!))
"All right then, let's go." He ignored the weird feeling that the portal gave him and walked through without another word, with Kiba following in a sort of post-battle shock.

(( "Darkness has a smell?")) Midna mustered the strength to groan, keeping her eyes closed as her apparent rescuer and his friend carried her through the portal. He'd find himself standing on the steps before the Palace of Twilight; this was rather obviously her home. "In...inside...please..."

((When you're a badass wolf, EVERYTHING has a scent. XD Also, sorry I took so long--starting the 20th, I got swamped with things.)) Tsume took a few glances around--he didn't smell much of anything--then shrugged and headed into the palace. "So, is this a part of your planet or something?"
