But Nines.

[ is he pouting? jude is pouting. ]

Not everyone has the magic or the medical training I have. It's not that simple.

[deem]

I don't have magic...but I know the physiology of the locals. And maybe that'd be an excuse to keep her in one place for a while.

[Madoka, that is. He doesn't think he's got to specify]

If you need a break, delegate a little.

[talim]

I suppose... and she's made it clear that she's more than capable of handling herself. I still worry, but I'll always worry.

[ he rubs his temples and sighs. ]

Just a little while, okay?

[deem]

I worry about 2B and she could probably snap me like a twig if she had a mind to.

[He gets it]

How about just as long as you need?

[That's the counter-offer, friend]

[talim]

[ fair point. he nods at 9s with tired eyes. ]

Alright. You win.

[ so while madoka and 9s carry his slack, jude is going to recuperate for a bit and gather his bearings. ]

[deem]

Don't expect any less from YoRHa.

[Said with humor, though he still takes pride in what he is. In his original vision of what he is, anyway.

He shrugs his pack off and rifles through it before producing a small bundle wrapped in something resembling foil, offering this to Jude. His uniform might be a mess, but the contents of his pack are pristine at least]

Here. I was gonna give this to 2B, but...I think you need it.

[Inside that wrapper is a stacked sandwich with berries and cream. He thought he'd see if his fellow android would like it, since the pastries at that celebration a while back were too risky to consume, but he can always get another. Jude needs some energy right here and now]

[Madoka must have perfect timing — shortly thereafter, she's back, no worse for the wear, a small Eltos attached to her back. the child doesn't to be seriously injured, but she had found them all alone — and Madoka couldn't just leave them behind.]

I'm back... [she announces breathlessly, as she sets the Eltos down — they pretty much immediately cling to her leg.]

I think I can patch up my new friend here, though, so ... please just take a quick break, okay? [she sees how tired you look, Jude.]

[talim]

Thank you, 9S. I'll have to apologize to 2B for inadvertently stealing her snack later. It looks delicious.

[ and then madoka returns, looking exhausted, and jude's chest twists. he hates making her shoulder even more of the burden. she's already doing so much. ]

... Are you sure you don't want any help?

[deem]

I can do a sweep, if you guys have things covered here.

[If he establishes a circular patrol, that should mitigate the threat of more Uvi closing in, and moving outward will let him look for any other Palai stragglers who haven't made it to a secure location yet.

It strikes him as best to offer before Madoka tries to make another run herself, and maybe these two can get each other to rest for a little while. Human bodies tire, after all]

[soulcomet]

If you're sure, Nines ... Please be careful. [Madoka doesn't know how to fix androids — and so, the cycle of the three of them telling each other to be careful continues.]

[but then she smiles down at the Eltos clinging to her.]

It's not too serious of an injury ... I should be able to handle it.
