[she is bandaged! at least! and tired looking, and cold. she looks like she stuck her face in a bomb and then had ice sprayed at her, she does not look great. but her arm and ribs are less broken, and she's covering most of her face with her hair.]
Mmhm. [pulls her blanket closer... around her... she's just sitting outside winter dorm probably]

[it's Fucking Snowing, Beau?]
no subject
You're not my fucking mom. [there's no heat in it, though.] I don't want to have to keep getting up to open the door.
no subject
[but she's just. settling down next to her, if beau lets her, or a bit away if she still seems not to want anyone too close.]
no subject
Already have it. [holds up a hand, which is just. a mess of burns and also the purple-black sign of frostbite, in places??]
no subject
[that's still not! a reason to make it worse! but being out here for a little bit won't kill her, she'll just try and get beau inside in a while.]
Do you want to talk about it--? Taichi sent me a photo of something he found there, but he wasn't... really in a mood to discuss much, I think.
[which-- yeah, she sounds pretty worried about that.]
no subject
It's fine. I can talk about it. [she pulls her knees closer to her chest.] He went through some bullshit.

My broth-- no, fuck. Fuck. [UGH.] Ichiro's brothers. Caleb, Taichi's sister, Nier.
no subject
[that is absolutely not helping the concern.]
no subject
[rubs her face.] It fucked with our memories.
no subject
[god. it's been mentioned for at least one more of these trips, so it's not totally surprising he seems out of sorts after that, but.]
no subject
Sure. Probably. I don't know what he got but it probably wasn't good.
no subject
...they haven't fully cleared, have they?
no subject
no subject
[she stops, there, just. takes a breath.]
.... hopefully all it needs is time.
no subject
It doesn't matter. Taichi will be fine.
no subject
no subject
I don't wanna talk about it anymore.
no subject
[she won't push, not so soon. not if beau is still feeling those effects too.]
Will you at least come inside?
no subject
[she'll go inside...]
