Yuuto Shiraishi has posed:
After the flurry of text messages, Yuuto just wanted to close his eyes a little bit longer. He's suffered scrapes and bruises in the past. It comes with the territory. But he's still weighing the fact that not one, but two new Steam Sentinel's showed up.

And Tinker has yet to shut up about. "Come on, Yuuto! Get up! They're out there! Dabble and Tick Tock! We can meet them! We have allies now! Aren't you excited?"

"Ugh." Yuuto remarks. "They'll be there when I wake up too."

"I bet if it was a date with your girlfriend, you'd be up and at them like a well-oiled machine." Yuuto groans, his cheeks dark red. "She already knows I'm not feeling good!" he protests, throwing one of his pillows ineffectively at the fairy.

Coco Kiumi has posed:
It frankly wouldn't matter to Coco that he had other injuries in the past. Now he has someone that is able to help with them nearby, so it makes no sense under any perspective that he just wouldn't get her assistance. And that is why after he showed her his current state for unrelated reasons, she is there at the door of his dorm room, knocking on it.

"Yuuto, it's me, Coco", she announces while she waits for him to open the door. She hasn't taken a lot of time to get there, since she kept a quick pace. She has her doubts he even visited Nurse Meiou judging by the photo, so he is liable to get scolded once he feels better.

Yuuto Shiraishi has posed:
"Coming!" Yuuto gets out of the bed, pulling on a robe to be decent as he makes his way to the door to open it up. When he opens the door, he's still a dissheveled mess, a total bedhead, with a black eye probably other, unseen bruises.

She said who she was, and that she was coming, but to be honest, he's surprised that she showed. He shouldn't be. Nothing is going to keep her from him, he's realizing slowly, but it's a lesson he is still learning. "Hi, Coco." he offers, stepping back to allow her to enter.

His room is pretty spartan. There's no roommate yet, instead, he has a small studio area to work on his modelling clay when he's at home, a few posters and a small laptop computer and gaming system.

Coco Kiumi has posed:
When he lets her in, Coco takes a brief glance at her surroundings before focusing on him. And actually... He looks even worse than in the photo. Frankly, she doesn't know what was holding him back from telling anyone. Did he seriously intend on staying like that until he got better on his own?

She closes the door behind her before turning to him once more. Notably, she doesn't hug or kiss him, to avoid pushing on those bruises and make him hurt more.

"Hello, Yuuto. You don't look well at all", she says calmly. "Please tell me these things, or Nurse Meiou, or anyone who may help. It's no good to stay like that. Please sit somewhere, or lay back down so I can start."

Yuuto Shiraishi has posed:
No hugs or kisses? Coco really is punishing Yuuto. "I figured I'd take today off, called in sick, use some ice packs and just rest." A typical guy response to being injured. But now that he is seeing how his girlfriend is responding to his condition, he's realizing he has chosen poorly.

"I figured I'd be okay. And I didn't really have a good excuse to what happened to offer to the school nurse." he protests lightly, as he moves to take a seat in the chair over at the desk as he leans back. "I didn't mean to make you worry, my Princess." he offers with a sigh.

Relationships - especially as deep as the one that he and the Princess have, is still very new to him.

Coco Kiumi has posed:
Making Yuuto understand that this is not a punishment is going to be quite hard, since he would have to bring up that opinion of his by himself, and there is no way to fit that into the conversation.

"Well, please don't do that anymore, there really is no reason you should stick with these. And if I find out you hid them from me again, I am going to ask one of my otters to tail you around", she warns him, intending to do just that, while letting them switch places fairly frequently, as he leaves his mark in that, accounting to one of the lists.

"The nurse is magic aware", Coco informs Yuuto. "So you don't have to worry about what to tell her, and certainly don't have to worry about hiding it from me."

She throws him a smile to convey calm before telling him she is not annoyed at him. After that, she becomes her Super Idol form and starts singing "Battito d'Amore."

Yuuto Shiraishi has posed:
As Coco lays down the rules and law, Yuuto can't help but to have just a small smile about it. If she didn't feel so strongly about him, she probably wouldn't be having the reaction she's having right now. "I promise, I'll get it looked at next time." he offers in quiet honesty. "Just didn't want to cause any trouble."

But then she smiles at him, and it seems like she just know how to make it better for him - that is until she takes on one of her strongest forms. And his eyes widen slightly. Seeing her as her Super Idol is just still... breathtaking and amazing.

And then she starts to sing quite literally... the Beat of Love. And he closes his eyes, taking in her voice and words, as he quietly whispers. "Thank the gears for you, Coco-chan."

Coco Kiumi has posed:
Coco she is currently singing so she can't exactly reply to him while her magic does its thing. It may be a tad annoying that it needs the entire song for it to have completed its job.

Even that may not be enough depending on the extent of the injuries. Granted, these are just bruises, so there isn't much to worry about in that regard. (You are not causing trouble by going to people whose job is helping you. Just remind yourself of that next time it happens) she texts Yuuto. (No problem, Yuuto <3 <3 <3 I have these powers, I might as well put them to good use.)

Yuuto Shiraishi has posed:
With his eyes closed as she performs for him, at first, when his phone buzzes, Yuuto is surprised. And a little worried that he would be interrupting his girlfriend's song. Until he unlocks the phone and realizes the message from her.

The two come in quickly, and he gives a small nod of his head. And he texts back to her. (I'll learn, I'm still getting used to this, Coco.)

And then... (You don't have to sing to me just to use your powers, my Coco. I love listening to your voice. <3) Even now, she can tell the song is having it's intended effect as he starts to heel.

Coco Kiumi has posed:
With the concern over his state transmitted, Coco starts inquiring more about the other aspect of the situation. Namely, that he met both his enemy and more Steam Sentinels. Though she has a suggestion to make first.

(You can talk to me normally, Yuuto. I am only texting because it's the only way for me to reply to you.)

With that out of the way, she adds. (So what was your bad guy like? And how was ramen involved?)

Yuuto Shiraishi has posed:
(I know I can talk normally...) comes Yuuto's first text.

Before it's followed by a second. (...but I do not want to interrupt a concert from the Princess I love.) Flirting.

And then, finally, after that, Yuuto speaks, trying not to interrupt her too much - hopefully she's near the end of her song as he's nearly healed up.

"He was some guy that turned into one of those machine-issued ramen packets. He slammed me against a table, which is where Tinker found one of the other Sentinels. And then he nearly drowned me in noodles - fortunately, the new Sentinel saved me."

Coco Kiumi has posed:
(Machine issuing ramen? Never stumbled onto them.) Coco ponders. (Can't imagine the ramen'd me much mood coming from a vending machine.)

And then he starts talking about the enemy. (What about the general? You mentioned there was one, but only talked about the Youma.)

(I am glad you didn't get too madly hurt, especially since that guy didn't know, but the will pave her into paying th ecall for extra effect.

What are the sentinels like? I know one of them is nervous and could use a welcome party. Anything else.)

Yuuto Shiraishi has posed:
"No, machine ramen is pretty terrible." Yuuto admits, before she mentions the general. "Yeah. Craft. He's a victorian type. But most of the ones I know about are like that." he admits quietly. "He's the first general I've met. Most of the others, Tinker's explained to me." he lets out a little breath.

"They're like I was. Unsure. Probably a little scared. I... I'm not a leader. I hope one of them will be." he confesses quietly.

Coco Kiumi has posed:
(If so, it makes you wonder why people still buy the stuff. Is it really worth it to be faster when eating if your stomach ends up rebelling?)

And there isn't much to point out about Craft besides him coming. (I hope the others are more predictable than him. he sounds like a real nuisance.)

And so, Coco keeps singing, until eventually her Prince is in perfect shape.
