Nimue Nakahara Yuuei's Nurse Her interview last week was not that bad, it was definitely more political than she liked, wanted and so on but there were a lot of things that came with that, a lot of things she did not want to consider but she finally went back to picking up the pieces after last week, after the things she had done and the consequences that were brought up thanks to that but it wasn't still good, it wasn't over, she still had in her mind a disgusting feeling for what she had done, she did not want the fame like that, she just wanted to do her job and she would need a new hero outfit, that red outfit surely did not work now and her face needed to be hidden, for goodness' sake this was going to be far more difficult than she thought it would. People would recognize her face much more, instead of just the red hood, the hiding was over. Was she even safe, was her father safe? That was even the question till last night.
This time it wasn't a small item on the news when it came to the weather and they bumped into her father no that exact same station must have gone around to find him, what did they use, social media to try and stalk him, find his paintings, find his address everything? Media... they were arrogant, if they could find him, they would be able to find him again if it was not the media, maybe Crowley, anything really, there was only one person in her life right now that she cared about and she just got him back. She had stared at it with mouth agape when she bumped into the article in the television guide: Interview with Witch Doctor's father and it wasn't a long interview, there were surely less questions than her own interview but the questions did not even matter, if he was proud of her, if she had showed interest in medical things, if she was careful and kind and so on and he told that they split when she was sixteen and that they had lost each other for a while, it wasn't all that. It was that he did not understand the danger.
So she had to call him, she had to ask him to come over somewhere and thus she was sitting in the farthest corner away from the door. Her mint coloured hair easily spotted still and yet she tried to hid herself in the corner. She wasn't sure what to say, the words stumbling, crumbling in her mind, she was furious, she was scared and anxious and she wasn't sure what to do, she was afraid so afraid for his dear life, had he missed what Crowley did! Had he missed anything that was there, she was afraid that Crowley would find him first, anxiously moving her feet while sitting in the corner seat, on the bench, counting the minutes, counting everything, where to start, anxious, furious, everything at once, surely did not help to make a good speech. |

To think being the parent of a popular pro hero would have its benefits. You get to see so many people show the same sentiment for your daughter and her deeds. Everyone's proud of her! It's like all of her hard work is finally paying off, with everyone treating her with the utmost respect. Everyone wants to get to know her, and apparently that means asking her dad about stuff. The same small station from before managed to track him down and ask stuff about his daughter. After the big interview, more people wanted to get some sort of meeting with her, but apparently Nimue isn't up for that. Obviously that means the best next thing: her dad.
They asked the same stuff as before: how was she as a kid, her powers, if he was a doctor, if her mother is alive, all those personal stuff. He just acknowledged the general questions, only making the whole thing about her leaving when she was 16 open, since even he has some sense of privacy, before heading on his way back home...only for them to reappear in the afternoon, asking for some questions. He just showed them this art and then gave them some food he had made for himself, like a good host should do.
Now he's being asked again, this time by his own daughter. She called him up to meet her in a secluded area, and when he got there she was acting nervous, as if she was fearful of something. "Are you alright, Nimue?" He asks her. "You seem to be on edge a bit. Was it the recent interview?" He knows about the whole Crowley incident, but he doesn't feel as if that should implicate him. Nimue is strong so she can handle whatever thing that kind of criminal does. But right now she's acting weird, and he needs to know why. Now...the thing is, it's pretty obvious that she's paranoid about him. He isn't aware that she's fearful for his own life. He's an open guy, he likes to socialize, and he likes going out in the open with nothing to protect himself in this kind of environment. Nimue being scared for him is a logical outcome, but try telling that to his face. He's just a bit too trusting and naive for his own good, something that probably causes Nimue no end of grief.

Nimue Nakahara Yuuei's Nurse Nimue was never the person to get angry about anything but she was so afraid, so afraid that a mistake would be made, that he would get hurt and the one and only important at this moment in her life would be gone. She just got him back, could he not understand that being on the television and easily linked to her, she felt it in her bones. Maybe it was something the tribe had taught her, her mother, to be cautious, to not spar with what God had in mind and so on but she was sure, she was sure she was heading down the path that she should but she was on this rollercoaster and she had no idea how to change that, she wasn't sure what to say to him, what she could do, she felt so tired, so lost and everything, jittery for sure.
"Dad, I am nervous because of your recent interview, not mine." Not that all the comments on the internet were nice about her but there were also a lot who went on to defend her and she had certainly tried to avoid reading about it. She should get into the support class and ask for a new hero outfit, the red cape hang now on a hanger in her bedroom but was not used anymore, but she had also not really gone out and done hero work because she simply couldn't. "Did you not see everything from last week, they are looking for me and now you went casually on tv, I arrested his loved one, dad why would he not kidnap and wound you or even worse, you are all I have." She said a little hysterical because she could not even think about it without getting stressed, without worrying, without freaking out immediately, she just did not know how to say it normally. She never got angry, she more got worried but if he did not understand the issue, and he clearly had not before because else he would avoid the news, he would.. Crowley might find him and who knows who was more out there trying to get Witch Doctor, she had already made a mistake to be with her face on the television although they had fixed that rather nicely, she just.. she could not think about what to do if they would find him before she could be there to protect him. Because she would do whatever it took to protect him. |

It's not uncommon to think of the worse whenever an incident like this happens. What happened to those people was horrible, no one can deny that. The arrangement of blood, the vicious slaughtering caused by a, fittingly, murder of crows, the mocking and angry tone directed at Nimue...anyone related to her would no doubt feel that all of this would be affecting her. Put her on edge. Make her doubt her current standing. Worry about anyone connected to her. Worry about someone who recently she has managed to reconnect with, after 7 years of a lack of activity. Of course she'll be worried beyond belief.
He himself was a bit a worried when he saw that message, but he was mainly worried for his daughter, not for his own sake. All these villains, targeting her due to upholding the law? What kind of world do they live in that stuff like this can just casually happen without a regard for human life? Its a painful thing to acknowledge, and in a way he's trying not to let it set it in. A bit too idealistic for his own good, not tempered down with the reality of their situation. His face has been seen twice on tv, both times publicly stating that he is related to Nimue. It's easy pickings. he does not see it like that. All that he's seeing right now is his daughter being worried for his wellbeing.
"Nimue, it's okay. You've been having a tense week." he tries to comfort her. "They didn't ask me anything major, it's just a normal question and answer, everyone does it. There's no need to worry about it. I dont think anyone can use the stuff I told them against you." He then adjusts his glasses. "if you want, I can say at my place for a while, if you feel like I need to protect myself." He says naively, unaware that due to the media actually following him back home, people know where he lives. In other words, a prime target for villains to attack him, to break in, and to lurk in until the time is ripe, to be used against Nimue. Or they would just cut to the chase and kill him without a second's notice, if they were a bit too excited or insane. He still can't comprehend that there are people like that out there, currently roaming the streets. He struggled a bit to stomach Crowley's actions. Imagine his reaction to seeing someone like Crowley or worse up front.

Nimue Nakahara Yuuei's Nurse The whole thing still haunted her and she did not even stay in her own apartment, albeit she should definitely change that because she did not want to be too much of a bother, she had no idea if the Hajimari family minded but the fact was still she was there where she shouldn't be. She had her own apartment, she paid for it, she had Kuro to look after and he might be hungry now that she had not fixed him food, ag he would be fine. He was the only one she was actually sure she did not have to worry about but her father had been on the news and not once but twice and he had said not much but enough for someone like Crowley. Yes she was having a tense week but she still had not the feeling that he understood what she meant and she looked at him with disbelieve in her eyes.
She wanted to interrupt him but she could simply not find the words because of that moment of utter disbelieve, the lack of words on what he said and she did not want to yell at him, he was still her father and she noticed very well that he meant well but it was so naive, and she had been so naive herself as well. "You don't get it. I hurt his love, Crowley will do whatever it is to hurt me, that means he might not even go directly after me, he might use you to hurt me, he might even outright." But she cut herself off, because she did not want to say the words and she looked at the table and drew just simply lines on it with her finger, "We don't even know if I pissed off others, my face has been in a vague way also been on the television, they can just see us sitting here, no one can be trusted, don't you understand? Even sitting at home might not be save anymore." Maybe she should say it here now that she wasn't even home herself because it might be too dangerous, what a work it was to bike to the school every morning and she was so afraid, that's why she did not take the train, thank god G didn't live in the middle of Tokyo because it would have taken her much longer. She was so tired of her panic state, but it will not be over, she had seen the news, she had seen the update for the pro-hero news and she could not tell him that, because she did not want to worry him. |

Ah, love. Love can cause both great and weird things to happen in the span of a short time. Love can help blossom forth great power, or at least thats how most stories like to use it whenever it pops up as a plot device. While its a bit extraggerated, love can grant you the benefit of a significant other to connect with and bond over, and learn from as well. But...there are those kinds of relationships that one can consider to be twisted and corrupted, that can lead either someone to do horrible things for, or help encourage one another to horrible actions for the joy of it. Its a two way street, with no end in sight for either of them. Love is just another thing that can be considered good or bad.
He frowns a bit at Nimue's vocal frustrations at him. It's not unheard of to disagree with your kid at times. Nimue has some good points, but she's being a too obsessive over protecting her father. At this point of his life, he feels like he can take of himself. Of course, with the recent events occurring in the background, excluding the Crowley event obviously, he really needs to keep an eye out for that. "To attack someone in their home...*sigh*, to be deranged enough to do that..." He folds his arms a bit, acting a bit discomfortable. "I still think you shouldnt be that fearful for me...but if you want me, Then i'll watch myself. How do you suppose we do that? Do we go somewhere that he or others can't go to? Perhaps a safehouse?" He's still not sure about this. It just feels restrictive, for him and his daughter. For him it's really obvious, but for her, to feel trapped in this scenario...it must be suffocating her right now.

Nimue Nakahara Yuuei's Nurse She wasn't entirely convinced he got it? Did he? Should she explain clearly why? Had she forgotten who her father was in those years before, in their almost ten years apart? The fact that she had tried to find him when she was an adult did not mean they were not apart before, he left when she was sixteen, she went to find him when she was eighteen and she was turning twenty-five this year, she did not. she could not, there were so many words not said, so many things left to be undone and she wasn't sure if she should even spend time with him if it meant that Crowley or anyone else for that matter would find him, hurt him, yes to attack someone in their own home. Japan might have the cultural norms of taken off the shoes, so to keep the house clean, the respect to the people in the house, all that sort of stuff but Villains did not care about that, if they did... if they did there would not be villains in the first place. Yes it was deranged but the whole ordeal was, just to find her, Crowley had killed eight people. First four, chalked the threat on the wall with their blood to only continue. At least he seemed to get that the issue was bigger than just worry, it was ludicrous how shit this could be and how her mind went on and on and on, as if she got lost, as if she was going mad like falling into a rabbit hole but she wasn't, she wasn't even that overprotective, she was just practical, right? right?!
A safehouse? She didn't really have a safehouse, "Just text me every time you leave where you are going and for how long and when you are done text me you are going home and text me when you are home. I am going to ask a friend of mine to install security for your home but yes, please stay home for most of the time that you can." There was hope, hope Crowley or anyone else had not found the footage of where he lived, had not found the patience within themselves to finishing watching the whole program about a soppy dad that loved his daughter who happened to be Witch Doctor, did they even watch it was question number one. She should ask, yes, she could ask someone from the police, she surely knew a few by now and after arresting Lavande, it might be a small favour to repay, right? |

Staying at a safehouse? Why did he mention that, even if she doesn't have one? If she had a safehouse, he would have been kept up in there. How else would he paint? As much as he usually works at his house for paintings, he can't simply stay there all of the time. Often times, he has to go out and experience the scenario himself! A beautiful sunset, in front of him, slowly setting down as he paints on top of a hill. He can't just do that from his apartment complex. This might limit his output. Some people might say placing restrictions on oneself can lead to impressive work being done, but he feels as if the opposite stands bigger than that. One has to have open space to be able to express oneself. To be forced to do this every time he even considers leaving the complex for a quick jog...not sure.
"Every time I leave? Well, I supposed if you feel its the best choice for me..." He's somewhat iffy on the security, though. What kind of secruity is she thinking about? Cameras? Loud alarms? Potential bodyguard hiding behind the corner? He's not sure on that last part, and also not huge on cameras. He doesn't want to be spied on, even if it is for his own safety. "Wouldn't you get annoyed by the endless messages, though?"

Nimue Nakahara Yuuei's Nurse She frowned, it was just simply that she had no better idea, she did not want to send the police on him, she would just want sensor recognition, he wouldn't have to be recognized for that, she wasn't even sure what to do about it and she took his hand, "I don't know a better option, I wouldn't get crazy because of those messages because I know you would be safe." She felt tears reach in the corner of her eyes and she looked at him, "You are all I have, I know it won't be fun and I know you have to go outside but at this moment, you-you." She could not figure out what to say anymore, the thing was that she knew, she understood so well that you could not lock up an artist, you could not do anything like that, the issue with so many things was that there were simple... simple minutes and moments. "Just till it's over, till there is some more news, till Mia did something great because this, this is now the thing in the news and that's why they all focus on me and on you and I need you to be safe. I need you to be there." For every minute that she needed him and she felt closer to tears even more, "I can't do this alone." But she wasn't sure what more to say she really felt like she could do this alone but how would she focus on the world if she had to focus on him, she wasn't sure how to even say it more clearly. She understood the no camera's but how would she do it. It was, it was helpless at the moment, it was a tear-fest and she tried to be stronger and she just felt not strong at all. |

Gaaaaah this is all too much for him. Is this the cost of fame for people? To be driven to a state of paranoia, at this point reasonable and JUSTIFIED paranoia, all because of someone's actions? The extremity of someone killing to spell out a threat to you, in the blood of the victims...anyone would be horrified and scared. Especially if it was caused by 4 people's deaths, even more after the initial slaughtering. So many people...senseless killing around...it's slowly starting to sink in that Nimue might have a reason to be this paranoid and worried for her father.
He just crosses his arms unconformably. Nimue seems to be struggling as well, trying to convince her father to listen to her, that it was for his own good. To protect him. To guard him away from danger. They just managed to meet again, after all those years, and now, with this recent event, it might come to an end. He doesn't want to see her like this. As much as he feels this to be uncomfortable, he'll do it for now. If it means their safety.
"...*Sigh* You wont be alone. Trust me, we'll get through this. Alright?" he gives her a smile to try to get here to be less nervous. "I'll watch myself. I promise. Just promise me to not get in trouble as well."

Nimue Nakahara Yuuei's Nurse She almost slammed with her hand on the table because she had the feeling that he did not want to understand anything and on one hand this was the father she knew, daydreaming about a perfect situation, about no issues, just painting, just doing what was right, being a good citizen but the world wasn't so picture perfect. Literally. That's why she became a hero, she thought it would only be influenced, that she could stay a healer, that she had no other important jobs but just be there when people were wounded but now she arrested someone and for her all hell broke loose. She really should stick with what she was made for because at one point, a nervous breakdown would come and she was very, very afraid of it. Sometimes it wasn't good to know the medical symptoms because oh boy.
But she did not have to slam the table, she did not have to make the point come across as if it was a ball and she held the baseball bat, nope it seemed that slowly and surely the message was coming across as her father looked uncomfortable and she herself probably looked the same, she held her hands on the table, putting a bit of pressure on them, hoping she would stop shaking. She bit her lip, gnawing on it as the air between them remained silent for a while, did he get it, was he forming words, solutions, plans, anything?
"Thank you, yes thank you, I promise." But she had no idea how fast that promise would be broken and that the job would not simply give her a holiday and that there were too many things going on because at this moment she did not think about anything that the pro-hero world had to offer, maybe she should speak to someone, from the government, anyone really, trying to point out that she was only a healer and wanted to let it stay that way, she just.. yes... she wished it was that easy. |
