Katsu chose to remain after school today, if only because she didn't think she could get home. She was feeling terrible, and had no way to get home other than walk.
She was in the courtyard instead of the school building. She sat down at an outdoor table and started to cough hard. She drew her hand up to her mouth, and when her fit stopped, she looked at the fresh blood.
It had been some time since she coughed up blood...but even so, it wasn't terribly surprising. It always came back, her weakness, her worthlessness...

Raina walked into the courtyard at precisely the moment Kari walked out of the school building, and they met up in the center...but Raina had a sense that something was wrong...

She reached into her pocket, then into her other one with her non-bloodied hand, looking for something to wipe it off on.

Raina turned, being in her leather uniform, and saw the blood. Kari looked to her, and she looked back, nodding as the two walked over, Kari drawing a towel with her brush, and extending it forward to Katsu when they got close. "Here." she said.

Katsu looked at them, and then at the towel, "You don't need to," she said softly. Generosity or not, she didn't want to bloody someone else's towel.

"It is not one I need." Kari said softly. "Please, take it." she said, still having it extended.

Katsu reached out slowly and took it, wiping her hand on it and bringing it up to her mouth, to clean any blood off that might have lingered.
"Thank you...," she said softly.

"You're welcome." Kari said simply, Raina taking a seat on the other side of the table, while Kari sat in the seat next to Katsu.

Why did they sit with her? She cast her eyes down at the table, still holding the towel.

"I'm Kari. She's Raina." The high-born girl said, "What's your name?"

"K-Katsu," she said softly, not looking at them.

"That's a nice name." Kari said after a moment. Raina chose this moment to speak. "Are you unwell? We saw the blood." she gave.

"I'm...I'm fine," she said, trying to assure them. There really wasn't anything too wrong, after all. This was kind of normal, "I'm ok..."

"If you're sure. I only say it because we know a place that's medically advanced." Raina said.

"No...that...that wouldn't help me," she said softly, "I'd be wasting people's time."
