There was a loud bang and suddenly the painted skies of Paixao began to crack. Angels and clouds separated from the mural they had once been apart of and began to fell to the earth, crushing anyone and anything they managed to land on.

They were the first, but they certainly weren't the last.

"It's okay, it's just a little further...!" Her voice came from around the side of the building. There Flonne was supporting an injured man, setting him down on the ground. There was a crowd of people she'd helped out of the apartment building, all injured in varying degrees.

"There...okay, I'm going to try and heal you, okay? Please don't be worried!" Despite everything, she smiled brightly, smudged and scuffed though she was from all her efforts. Oblivious to Laharl, she went about casting her healing magic on the people.

It was comforting to once more have a better sense of things around him. Everything felt sharper again. The sound of her voice carried to him, and he made his way around the building. Well... she was fine, it seemed.

He hung back, watching her work, speaking up only when she was finished healing. "Flonne..."

[love_freak]

Most of the people she'd healed were too happy to begin their escape out of the town, though a few cast her lingering glances as if they wanted to thank her. She smiled and waved, which prompted the stragglers to jolt and flee. Flonne sighed, turning slightly to smile sheepishly at Laharl.

"Oh...you came back." She started towards him but went to her knees, surprised. "Eh...l-looks like I reached my limit." She'd healed so many people that her mana was almost completely drained.

[overlords_wrath]

"Hmph. Of course I did," he said, closing the distance between them and squatting down beside her.

"You idiot... Sit and rest for a few minutes, then we'll get the heck out of here," he suggested. If anything happened, he was fully confident now he could protect her, so resting a little wouldn't be a problem.

[love_freak]

"Eh heh heh...yeah. I'm sorry, Laharl." She exhaled slowly, putting her hand over her heart. "Um...do you mind if I lean against you?" She looked even more sheepish now, assuming the answer would be no, but she was so tired...

[overlords_wrath]

He huffed softly, setting down into a crossed legged position at this point. "Go on then," he muttered, supposing if it helped her to recover quicker. He knew he could have just picked her up at this point, but he'd already had to do that once today.

[love_freak]

"Thanks..." She leaned against him, resting her head on his shoulder. Sitting down, they were almost the same height. She watched the destruction in the distance, unconsciously tightening her hands into fists on her lap. "Is...Is Gwen-san okay? I forgot to heal her before I left."

[overlords_wrath]

"You did, but she's okay. She'll just need healer some point soon," he told her, feeling fairly sure his father would see that she was healed by someone, if Flonne and him didn't meet with them fairly soon.

"They're waiting by the church for us, whenever you're ready."

[love_freak]

It was so nice, feeling his usual strength and solid support like this. But it wasn't the time, was it? Then again, it never seemed to be. How easy it could be to just be a little selfish and have him all to herself for a little while longer.

"...I'm ready." She stood up, pumping her arms. "All systems go!" Flonne held out a victory sign, posing heroically. "Lead the way. I'll get Gwen healed in a snap!"

[overlords_wrath]

He just sat there beside her, largely relaxed, despite her close proximity. He blinked up at her skeptically, however, when she suddenly got up, proclaiming she was now okay. It seemed suspiciously quick, but... Oh well, if she was sure.

Laharl rose to his feet and nodded. "Alright... Come on." he said, leading her towards Niflheim, which was the closest gate to the church. It might not be the best way, but if anymore debris fell from above, he'd have no problem dealing with it now.

[love_freak]

Truthfully, she wasn't entirely recovered, but...Laharl was back to normal. If something happened, she could rely on him. It didn't take any mana to follow him and the knowledge that he was safe and back to normal gave her a burst of energy. In all the chaos of everything that happened, seeing him back t his usual self had relieved her so much she'd...

...she...she kissed him? She'd kissed him! She kissed him, right!? RIGHT?

Flonne stopped up short, her face bursting into a heated blush.

[overlords_wrath]

Laharl was, of course, completely oblivious to everything going on behind him other than the sound of her steps, his eyes on the way they were going and the remains of the dome above them.

He got a good few yards ahead, before he realized her steps had stopped, and he turned around wondering what was up.

...Why the hell was she standing there, blushing?

Backing up, he peered at her curiously and a little impatiently. "Flonne...?"

[love_freak]

"NOTHING!" she exclaimed, gesturing wildly with her hands. Her face was still bright red, her voice wavery. "I mean, i-it's fine! Everything is fine!" She dashed ahead, avoiding looking at him. "Come on, we have to hurry!"

She could blame everything on a head injury, right? He hadn't yelled at her or treated her any differently, so maybe it was fine? Maybe he even...liked it? At that thought, her path became wobbly and she nearly ran into a streetlamp.

[overlords_wrath]

What. The. Hell.

Maybe something HAD fallen on her head? She was sure acting weird either way. Laharl followed behind, coming a stop again when she nearly crashed into a street lamp.

"You idiot... what the hell is wrong with you?" he questioned her, now feeling certain something was up. Flonne was a klutz, but that was pretty bad, even for her. He reached out, attempting to grab her by the arm, to make sure she wouldn't just take off on him. "And no saying nothing!"

[love_freak]

"Um..." She didn't try to move anymore, putting her free hand over her mouth. "I just remembered that I k-kissed you...on the forehead!" Flonne turned more and more red as she babbled. "I don't know why I did it! I guess I was just h-happy you were back to normal and safe and I've been worried about you and I really, really care about you, Laharl! So much! If something happened to you I don't know what I'd do and --"

A loud crack sounded somewhere off in the distance. Squeezing her eyes shut, Flonne cried out, "This isn't the time...!"

[overlords_wrath]

"Would you just CALM down?" he said, still holding her arm with one hand. Settling his other on her shoulder, he gave them a small squeeze. "Just... calm down, okay?" he repeated, pretty softly for Laharl.

"We'll t-talk about this later, or something, alright?" he suggested, sounding a little awkward for a moment as the thought of the subject they'd need to talk about came to mind. He shoved it from his thoughts quickly. Her kissing him could wait.

Releasing her pretty quickly, he passed her by several steps, starting in the direction they'd been heading; he paused, however. "Come on," Laharl said, glancing to her over his shoulder then holding a hand out to her, looking away again.
