Panting, Ragna and Tsubaki plunge out of the portal and into Rachel's mansion. Before even getting up, Ragna wraps an arm around her waist and draws her in. "Hey, you alright? You went kinda...Izayoi-crazy there..."

"I'll be fine, Ragna." She looks up into his eyes, hiding her wince. "How about you?"

"Bullet in my leg, but that ain't a big deal. I'll deal."

Nodding, although the thought does unnerve her, Tsubaki rises and pulls Ragna up. Her eyes focus on Rust and she heads over to his side. "How about you, Rust? Alright?"

Said mechanic was busy seething at the fact that half of the stuff he had intended to bring had been forced to be left behind. All he had was the forging equipment, the seithr kits and the blade cleaning equipment. The guns, engines and vehicle kits had either been wiped out by that huge laser of the N.O.L's or simply left behind in the street and it was clear Rusty was irritated. Hell, he'd even dropped the Defiler when Rachel had shoved him through.

Mental note: Check Out Later. Will not have a hope in hell, but that doesn't mean I can't window shop.

His hood came down, revealing the metallic port that was now stuck in the back of his head and the bandanna was hung around his neck as he tried his best to deal with what he'd just seen. His entire life of five years utterly destroyed in front of him. It hurt a lot less than he thought it would, but there was still a sharp stab of pain, similar to when he lost the Halford. That shop had been home and now? Completely gone.

Nu was going to be pissed her spare room had gone up in flames.

Taking inventory of what was missing, trying to ignore the pain of the bullet graze he'd received not three minutes prior, he barely heard Tsubaki's question, eyes flicking around his check list as he drew lines through what he DIDN'T have.

"Hmm? Doing fine," he replied, gaze not leaving the clipboard. He began to open up one of the cases, the forging equipment, and began to check each tool by holding it up in the light and assessing it.

He didn't say anything else.

What.
"Pwaaaaah..."

The light groan came from a large lump on the soft carpet floors of the mansion. It was grey, and brown in the middle. Grey fabric extended from it's neck and onto the floor.

This lump was also known as Albus Scaslivy.

Albus wearily reached out with two hands to try to push himself up. He moved no faster than the living dead. In fact, he resembled what looked like a shitty morning for the living dead.

He finally gathered the strength to rise slightly, but he struggled to reach enough leverage to sit up.

"Running full force into that portal..." He croaked painfully. He shoved hard and managed to get himself in a sitting position. He swiftly discovered that such a movement while under motion sickness was a bad bad bad idea when his stomach lurched. He wrapped his arms around his stomach and closed his eyes, trying to get rid of the stars in his vision. When he was feeling better, he blearily opened one eye.

"...Is a very unpleasant experience..."

The blonde woman, now standing beside Rust, shakes out her hair and frowns at Albus. "It is necessary to correct for planetary spin and velocity. Personal momentum adds to the variables. If you run into a wormhole full-tilt, expect to exit it in a likewise manner."

She sighs and taps ash off her parasol with the tip of her shoe, then leans it against her shoulder. "Valkenhayn!" she calls. "We have guests, and injured."
Class. Dig it up, dust it off, hang that shit crooked on an ear. My halo's a land mine rind, amigo.

Ragna looks at the girl's mature form and smirks. "Hey there, rabbit. Finally realize you're not gonna get a lay looking like you're goddamn twel- ow!"

He winces as Tsubaki drives an elbow into his side. Shaking her head, she makes her way back toward Rust. "Um, Rust? May I ask what's wrong?"

Like a shadow, the grey haired werewolf appeared, fading into view like a ghost. He bowed to his Lady before straightening and fulfilling his duties as butler.

"Would all those currently injured please make themselves known? I can assure you that remaining silent about such problems tends to lead to many more complications than I can presently care to deal with. Be that as it may, I would think that the Ragna boy should be seen to first. His injury appears to be the worst, despite his rapid healing ability." Valkenhayn spoke, tone strong and deep. He approached Ragna and gave him a Look. "Along with any other potential hazards to his health such as comments regarding Madam Rachel's revised appearance."

Then he offered Ragna a wolfish grin.

"Unless the Grim Reaper believes that he can... impress Madam Rachel and I?"

-X-

Rusty, meanwhile, was halfway through the first box as Tsubaki made her way to his side. He pointedly continued with his work, sorting through tools, checking them and then replacing them.

"Nothing's wrong at all." he lied. "Everything's peachy."

When Albus looked at Rachel, it was as if his sickness was cured at once.

He went from clutching his stomach to staring pointedly at the woman as though she had two heads. "Qu'est-ce l'enfer, how is that even possible!? Not thirty minutes ago you were a little girl!"

Albus scrambled to his feet and stared at Rachel. His gaze went up, down, left, right, repeat, and for good measure, diagonally. "How can you change just like that!? I mean..."

The man pointed at the woman as though he were objecting to something.

"You even got boobs now!"

...

Whatever happens next, he fully deserves.

Rachel glances at Albus. Her parasol taps rhythmically against her shoulder, once, twice, thrice. "Yes." she replies. "While I am already certain of your inexperience concerning them, please do try to keep further information to yourself. It is embarassing to listen to."

She turns to Valkenhayn and nods. "Please see to Mr. Ragna's injuries. Be sure to disinfect them, I have no doubt he carries something contagious - in which case, Tsubaki, I have great pity for you."

A little smile on her face, she walks into the foyer of the mansion. "If the damaged would follow me, please."

"...Make use of your new body and go fuck yourself, Rabbit." Ragna flips her off as he follows her out of the room. "Seeya, Tsu."

"Bye, Ragna. Try and watch your mouth around Rachel, please." Tsubaki turns her attention fully on Rust, expecting the other to leave as well. "Okay, Rust. Seriously. You've been incredibly cold to me. What have I done to you?"

Valkenhayn turned on his heel and lead Ragna out of the room. Shooting Albus a quick glare and giving a low growl, lip curled, the aged and dignified werewolf clearly did not appreciate those who ogled his Lady's new form. He'd give them instruction on etiquette later.

"This way boy, lest your arm rot once more and a third replacement is required."

-X-

Hearing Tsubaki's accusation, Rust put the file he'd been examining back in with the forging kit and closed the box. Then he turned to meet Tsubaki's eye, Soul Pick glowing dimly underneath his shirt.

"My problem's not with you. It's with your boyfriend. I'd appreciate talking to him alone with this, but since you seem so determined, I may as well start to air this out now. Namely, look at this."

He showed his Soul Pick fully, taking it out from behind his shirt and actively showing Tsubaki the pick.

"Basically, this now has to house my soul, thanks to seithr overload, bleedout and going into shock twice in as many hours." he explained, tone even and controlled. "Do I regret it for a second? No, because it saved my little sister and I'd do it all again with gusto if it meant keeping her safe, despite the fact she's at least 100x more powerful than me.

No, my main problem? Why the FUCK was it necessary?!"

The question rang out around the courtyard, echoing slightly.

"What the hell have you and Ragna been DOING?! WHY did it take over three weeks for me to know about Nu's kidnapping?! Where the hell were you two, trying to get her out of there?! If me and seven well trained normal people can take down a Cauldron, why the hell did Ragna not destroy Wadatsumi as soon as he walked into the place? YOU'VE HAD SIX FUCKING MONTHS! What the hell have you guys been doing? FUCKING IN THE BUSHES?!"
