Conner was silent for a while, thinking about what had been happening.

"Well," Darius studied Conner for a moment, then turned to Nathaniel. "We'll probably need more gauze. I used the first aid kit in the car, and I believe you used the last of the gauze in the first aid kit here when you were cooking, right?"
Nathaniel glared at him.
Darius' grin faded. "Alright, alright, you're in a bad mood. I won't talk anymore."
"We're out of soy milk. And bread. And rice. If you could pick some up while you're out I'd be grateful," he stood. "And don't worry, I'm not using the oven today."
"Alright," Darius put on a raincoat. Sometimes there was a sunny patch in between two rainclouds, and he didn't want to take the risk of being caught in the rain in a t-shirt. "I'll be back."
After Darius closed the door, Nathaniel looked at Conner with an unreadable expression. "If you need anything, just say so."

"Sure, whatever. I'm just gonna be here, waiting for something to happen" Conner says, then he looks at his hand then towards the door "I think... I think your friend forgot his phone. It never got given back to him" he lifts his hand up, and in it was the phone that he hadn't been able to give back yet.

Nathaniel sighed, adjusting his glasses. The last thing he wanted to do was run after Darius to make sure he had his phone. "He's always doing things like this. He lends things to people and then doesn't ask for them back. He won't be gone long though, so just hold onto it until he gets back," he paused and reconsidered his decision. "Unless you think he might get into trouble at Monoprix or wherever he's going."

"I might be able to hold onto it for him for a while, unless he gets into trouble. I don't think that he will though" Conner says, seriously hoping that no-one saw Darius help him and then tell the Police, but only time could tell what happens.

Trying something different today. I'm on the Wii U with just the Gamepad so if anyone was to come in then they can't see what I'm doing.

"Either way, he's probably driving already." Nathaniel ran a hand through his hair, flinching a bit as he touched his bruise. "If he's not back within the hour..." he thought of what he could do. He couldn't report Darius missing to the police. While he could guess where Darius was going to buy everything, he couldn't know for sure. Phoning him, of course, was out of the question. "...then we'll know that something happened."
----------------------------
What were you using before?
Also, I was wondering if something should actually happen to Darius, or if making Nathaniel really worried but then Darius is okay would be better? I mean, Conner would have to stay put considering that he's still needing the bullet removed. Oh: AU where the police are corrupt? I dunno, I'm just throwing out ideas here. :P

Before, I was either on the Laptop (rarely) or my iPhone (mostly).
That would probably be an interesting idea, having a world where Cops are corrupt. And I don't mind which idea happens so surprise me, I'm gonna have Serena appear shortly anyway so she can help
-------------------------
Conner nods "Not back by the hour... Something happened..." he says to ensure that he didn't forget. "The hour is the short hand, right?" he was looking at a clock, trying to work it out exactly. That was when there was a knock and he sharply turned his head to the door "Someone is there... Go check just in case, I can't"
Standing at the door was a shorter female who had brown hair that was brought up into a ponytail, she had pale red eyes and a seemingly permenant sad look on her face. She wore a purple dress, white socks and had no shoes on. It was exactly who Conner had been waiting for, Serena. You wouldn't guess that she was an Assassin from what she looked like, and her strength was also hidden by the fact that she was still visibly skinny.

Ahh okay.
Yeah, having Serena around'll definitely help. I was just thinking though: the police recognize Darius, arrest him and then start blackmailing Nathaniel? It would probably take a few days (in-universe) to actually get that idea going so after this we might have to move it along at a slightly quicker pace. Like, not entirely skip over it, just have less things happen, you know?
----------------------------
"Yes, the hour hand is the shortest," Nathaniel answered. At Conner's order, he stood straighter and frowned a bit. This was his house, why was Conner telling him to do things? At the very least, a simple "please" would have been nice. However, he bit his tongue and answered the door. He really didn't want to argue right now, not when there were things more important than please-and-thank-yous to worry about.
"Hello," he said to the young woman standing at the door. "Are you here to help...?" He hesitated saying Conner's name, part of him worried that she might not be the person that Conner was talking about earlier.

"I believe I am, you helping someone named Conner? I'm the only known living relative of him and I was somewhere else but... He got me to come because of something" Serena didn't really faulter that much but was sure that this is where Conner was hiding out, and she was actually happy to be seeing the one person who trusted in her abilities again. The one person who adopted her to keep her safe from the enemies, and trained her up to be the person she was today.
"Is that... Is that you Serena? I would come to the door but being shot stops me from being active. And I actually mean shot, not just slightly grazed like it usually is" Conner says, recognizing the voice even though he hadn't heard it for a while.
-------------------
Sure, I don't mind. Hopefully Conner will be back on his feet soon as well, he will probably get restless and want to be active again.

"Well, it was my friend who helped him until now, but he thought that going out to get some more gauze would be a good idea. I imagine he'll be back shortly. But please, come in." Nathaniel stepped back so Serena could walk in. He said all of this with absolute certainty, almost as though he was trying to convince himself that Darius would, indeed be back shortly. "Can I get you anything?"
-------------------
Okay. x3

"I will be fine for now, but thanks for the offer!" Serena says as she walks in, instantly sitting herself down near where Conner was "You said you were shot?"
"Yes, I was. But this guys friend helped me while he was distracting the Police Guy." Conner was watching Serena, glad that her face was still the same as he had remembered it.

Nathaniel closed the door softly and adjusted his glasses. He was quiet for a moment, wondering if this girl---Serena---needed any supplies. Even though his first aid kit was out of gauze, there was still thread and tweezers and such. But standing there wondering would be awkward. "If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know. I'll be in the kitchen," he said, deciding that he would wait to ask if they would like to stay over for dinner. Obviously removing a bullet was more important than an impromptu dinner party.

"Sure, OK. Now let's see what I can do..." Serena says as she examines the covered wound "This is certainly going to hurt, but that will be OK for you" she tells Conner, knowing that he had been through worse pain before.

Nathaniel nodded and went off to the kitchen. The first thing the did was turn on the radio, tuning it to the news station. He stood still long enough to figure out what was being reported---some minor theft at a convenience store---and then washed his hands and filled up a pot with water. He got some pasta from the cupboard and set to work making dinner.

"Let me get some rest then. I might survive better if I'm sleeping and not moving about as much as I normally would" Conner says and he shifts himself around in order to get comfortable for sleeping. Once he was satisfied, he lent as far back as he was able to go and shut his eyes, getting to sleep rather quickly as he was used to having power naps instead of long sleeps because of his job. This would be one of the first times he had actually slept rather well, as the only other times was when he had a safe and hidden place which regarded him as low alert as well as before he had his home Village burnt down by the people he hated the most.
Serena stood and watched as he got to sleep and then reached in her pocket to find a few bits and pieces "Awesome, just what I needed in here. Only a few things that are missing... That First Aid Kit there should have them stored away safely" she says as she goes over, opening the box and rummaging around in it "Not this... Nope... Not this bit..." she mutters before saying "Ah-ha! As he holds up a few other pieces that she needed and that she didn't carry around with her. Eventually the female set to work on fixing the older Assassin, making sure to be extra careful so there wasn't that much of a mess that had been made.
