"Umeko," mumbled Sen, pulling his face away from her shoulder, "I'm fine."
Umeko looked down, puffing her cheeks out in a pout whose caliber Sen had rarely seen before.
"You almost died," she mumbled, pulling back and looking pointedly at his left shoulder, swathed in bandages, "if that stone had fallen any farther left you'd be…" she trailed off, sniffling loudly.
Sen winced. "Umeko, don't cry," he said, weakly, the hand on his good arm curling around her wrist. He jockeyed his bad arm around her waist and squeezed his fingers in as close to an embrace as he was able to manage.
Umeko wailed once, loudly, before she threw her arms around his neck and pulled his face back to her shoulder.
Somehow he wasn't sure death by suffocation was a good follow-up to having a building collapse on you, but as long as it made Umeko stop crying...
