[He opens the door, looking a lot better than he was post trial, a little tired but no longer looking so ragged and ghastly pale]

I'm in, how can I help?

[excavated]

I wanted to see if you were doing alright. After yesterday. . . and considering your connection with Kimihiro.

[ He sounds pretty distraught and obviously worried about it. ]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He catches the tone, and gives a ghost of a reassuring smile]

Thank you for checking, I'm fine now thanks to him and having time to rest. I'm not going to hear the end of it from Moriarty, even if I had a good reason for doing that.

[excavated]

I'm glad.

[ He smiles in return, but it's just barely there before it fades. ]

And you wanted to see what she would do, right? She wasn't responding to anyone, so it was very likely that she was planning on some sort of counterattack. I think we have to learn from this and plan a little smarter.

[improbablenotimpossible]

I figured if she had a trap prepared, that I would be in a better position than anyone else to survive it.

[He leans against the doorway]

And she confirmed it, if it had been anyone else, they would have died. We'll have to withhold our blue truths until we have a solid theory so she can't build her arsenal.

[excavated]

Yeah. I think that asking her questions that don't involve using the blue truth might help us build theories depending on how she responds to them.

[...]

By the way, can I ask something?

[improbablenotimpossible]

I agree... and go ahead, ask away.

I'm actually a little curious about how the Master and Servant connection works. I know you guys can feel each other's physical pain, but is there. . . other things that you deal with because of it?

[improbablenotimpossible]

Yes... We can see each other's memories in the form of dreams, so there is not much in the way of privacy there.

[excavated]

. . . I see. Do you know, then? Kimihiro's current condition.

[improbablenotimpossible]

I had noticed there was a change, his flow of mana had gotten better, but I'm afraid he has otherwise been tightlipped.

[excavated]

. . . I see. It's okay, then. If Kimihiro really wants to tell you, then he will. I just hope that he doesn't push himself too hard.

Since it must be difficult on you as well, Holmes-san.

[improbablenotimpossible]

I won't lie, it's frustrating, he is trying to hold back in an attempt to not worry people, and he doesn't believe his own well-being is important to this.

[Self-sacrificing types can be exhausting to deal with]

The physical pain is a new thing for me, but I can endure.

[excavated]

That's- [. . .] Kimihiro. He really is being reckless again. [ He always was. And there's a pain that flashes in Syaoran's eyes for a moment before it fades. ] He should know better that there are people that worry about him. That I worry about him for doing things like that.
