“Who’s Kisume?”
“You’re about to find out.”
All your mental alarms go off simultaneously, but you refrain from acting to avoid making a mess of the situation. You silently reach out with your senses, but all you get is the echoing gloom of the cave—
Wait.
“...don’t ya fecking dare!” It’s faint, but you can hear Sekibanki slipping into her Irish accent from somewhere behind you.
“Seki?” You turn around to try to get a better head on her location, Yamame temporarily forgotten as you listen for—
“DUCK!”
Drop into a crouch and immediately feel something go flying past you, ruffling the hairs on the top of your head, and impacting on something with a painful-sounding “GAH!” from two voices.
Three words completely summarize the thoughts racing through your head right now.
“What. The. Hell.”
As you straighten up, a set of angry footsteps storms past you, followed by the sounds of a minor struggle. You ignore this, for now, and focus on the groans of pain coming from where Yamame sat. Akane, who is coiled around your arm, guides you so that you don’t grab anything ‘unfortunate’. Your hand lands upon a familiar mess of hair, and you carefully pick up Sekibanki’s head.
“W-Why?” she asks, dazed.
“Hell if I know,” you shrug. You do give Seki a few pats on the head to try to make her feel better.
“Et tu, Kisume?” Yamame mumbles.
You hear a muffled squeak from where there were once sounds of struggle, followed by footsteps going in your direction. The footsteps stop in front of you and a pair of hands takes Sekibanki’s head from your grasp.
“Ah, much better,” she says. “Now, where’s the little shite?!”
Something quickly zips past your and Sekibanki’s shins towards the sound of Yamame’s voice.
“I’m fine, Kisume, I’m fine,” she says. “Don’t cry, I know you didn’t mean it.”
In the meantime, you offer out a hand to help Yamame up—
“I’m already standing, you know?”
—and quickly drop it back down.
Sekibanki’s cape swishes
