Time works differently here. Mana and I were here for two months by ourselves, then Alice arrived. That was a couple of months ago now... I don't think about it too much. What matters is that you're here now, and... well... yeah.
I went along on a raid to break out the people that were kidnapped. It's been a rough month, and I had some, well, frustrations to work out of my system. Let's just say a small part of that place is probably still frozen, aside from the part Sasuke set on fire... I'm getting ahead of myself.
Yes, I was hurt, but that was in a previous battle. I'm actually down here getting bandages because I used the last ones we had when I tore it open again. [Depending on where Makoto's hands are, she can probably feel the hole in Rikka's shirt, and smooth cotton below that seems oddly squishy if poked. But, uh, don't do that. That's definitely a slowly-closing wound.]
Sorry, I don't want to scare you, but I think you should know what you're coming into. We're a little on edge, still, but we're getting better. And we'd be glad to have you with us - I think it'll help things a lot. It'll be good to have the team together, too!
[Makoto might also notice the shiny new bracelet Rikka is wearing, with several bead charms: a heart, a club, a spade, a crown, and a plain red gem. The symbolism is plainly obvious, but... it's not something she'd have bought herself. It's too flashy.]
