[Video; Action in Vermilion City]

[If you look in the background, you might see what looks like the wall of a hospital. Athrun himself is also dressed not in his own clothes, but rather a hospital gown.]

I don't know whether or not word about what happened in the gym in Vermilion City the other day...but it came under attack. I tried to stop it, and I did manage to, but I couldn't stop it from taking some damage. I don't know what happened to the perpetrator.

I apologize if this holds up anybody else's challenge. I know mine has been held up, as...you might be able to tell. Don't worry, I'll be all right.

[And Lacus will get an apologetic smile from Athrun.]

Sorry to worry you. I'm going to be all right.

[thewhite_symphony]

You know that I am glad to see that you are alright ...

[ A little forced smile. ] ... but I wish you had given me better warning.

video;

[infinitejustice]

I wish I had, too. Unfortunately, it popped up so quickly that I didn't have the time.

[thewhite_symphony]

Athrun, I am still ... not very unused to seeing you hurt.

But I still dislike seeing it. Let me help as well ... isn't there a way for me to do so?

video;

[infinitejustice]

I know...and I'm sorry.

video;

[thewhite_symphony]

Please don't apologize ... I am simply worried ... that is all.

[ She looks away. But she does know he can take care of himself. ]

When can you leave the hospital?

video;

[infinitejustice]

The doctor estimates that I'll be out by Wednesday. So, odds are good I'll get out on Monday.

[Ah, the benefits of being a Coordinator.]

[thewhite_symphony]

I am glad. I worry about Miki Miki being have to be alone.

video;

[infinitejustice]

...Uh. "Miki-Miki?"

video;

[the_whitequeen]

Miss Miki. She allows me to call her by that name. It is cute and I believe such a name really suits her, don't you think?

video;

[infinitejustice]

Er...I don't know, that's not really my field of expertise...

video;

[thewhite_symphony]

[ Laughs. ] ... no, I guess it isn't.

video;

[infinitejustice]

I have to wonder how that came about, though.

video;

[the_whitequeen]

I can't really say I remember all too well. The conversation happened so fast. But I believe I proposed it while we were introducing ourselves to one another.

She liked it, so I have been using it every since.

video;

[infinitejustice]

Huh. Go figure. I'm not surprised the two of you hit it off so quickly, though. You've got a fair amount in common.

video;

[the_whitequeen]

One is that we are both ... idols?

video;

[infinitejustice]

For starters. You both also enjoy shopping about the same.

video;

[the_whitequeen]

[ Laughing now. ] ... you simply just had to mention that, didn't you?

video;

[infinitejustice]

Hey, come on! Guys have the tendency to remember being used as pack mules.

video;

[the_whitequeen]

Well, proper gentlemen wouldn't allow a woman to carry such heavy packages, would they?

video;

[infinitejustice]

No, of course not. That's why men dread it.

video;

[thewhite_symphony]

Is that so? Including you?

video;

[infinitejustice]

...

No comment.

[thewhite_symphony]

[ She is very entertained. ]

A very wise answer.
