Kari nodded when Taijo said he was good with her directions.<em>Good,</em>she thought to herself.<em>He doesn't seem to be from the area. It'd be a good idea for him to adjust sooner than later to the city.</em>Watching him sit at the coffee table before her, Kari perked her brow curiously and watched him as he spoke to her. She immediately waved her hand dismissively as she heard the word doctor and couldn't help but smirk.<br/><br/>"Doctor? Me? Please!~" She laughed a bit to herself before eying him. "I will be fine. Just some bruising. I'd know if anything was broken." Kari then winced as she moved around. Indeed she knew nothing was broken, but damn did it hurt. Then when she heard his offer to escort her, she blinked a bit shocked. Kari had never had anyone offer to do such a thing, then she realized she wasn't wearing her gang coat. This kid probably didn't realize that she had been in one.<br/><br/>Smirking softly to him, she leaned on her elbow and closed the distance between them. "No one's offered to do that for me before. Normally I am the one defending others. And. . . I think I'll be okay." Kari didn't know if she would be or not, after all. . . What had happened was completely unexpected and caught her off guard. Perhaps the next time she got a strange message she'd be sure she wasn't alone if she decided to go investigating.<br/><br/>Seeing Vergil appear beside them and ask her about her condition, Kari immediately frowned and stood up off of the couch, waving her arms around. "I got beat up!" She yelled loudly so the whole lobby would hear, taking a typical yankee stance as she eyed the younger boy that had approached.<em>I have to keep what happened a secret until I figure out what in the world is going on with me.</em>She thought before speaking again once Vergil was done addressing Taijo.<br/><br/>"It happens in the gang world from time to time. I ran into some old enemies and they decided to take a pipe to me!" Granted it wasn't a pipe, but a shadow monster. . . Regardless it would work. Pulling her shirt up so her bruised left side was exposed, she started rambling off once more, speaking like a boy as usual. "See, they got me good."
