[Sounds come first, scraping and rustling with a black screen until the viewfinder is finally shifted enough to catch a glimpse of the outside of the Moon Knight's HQ before turning fully and capturing a very haggard, exhausted, pale looking Lie Ren, one hand picking bits of crystal out of his long unkempt hair and the very red remnants of what killed him on his face and neck. Not scars exactly, and they'll fade with time, but for now it's a painful reminder on his skin of what happened to him.

He blinks in an almost startled manner after a moment, seemingly catching his own face in the video. He quickly tugged a hood over his head then shut the video off, opting instead for text.]

I'm back.

I know people were looking for me.

I'm sorry for being the cause of worry.

I'll be heading back home shortly.

[He doesn't offer an explanation for anyone who missed what happened. If asked he'll say, but he won't name the person responsible if it's not already known.

He could also be run into on his way back to Level 2, if anyone chances upon him that way.]

Did you die of food poisoning or just general... weak stomach at what happened?

[Geez, Em. You really did miss the boat.]

No I

I was murdered

[ Look, she somehow figured he was smart enough not to get a free pass in another world to not get involved in the whole being a hero nonsense that it seemed like a less likely scenario to her than eating something poisonous on another planet. Especially since he was apologizing as if he had done something stupid. ]

Want me to take care of them?

[He did do something stupid.]

No he's

[... Gods. What are he and Akira? What... were they? Does that even matter now?]

It was someone I know.

So it's personal. Got it. Emerald butting out.
Let me know if you need anything from me though, OK?
I know we're not like, friends but I don't want you to die.

At this point I think it would be odder if I didn't consider you a friend, Emerald.
But thank you. I appreciate it.

Thanks.

[ She really didn't expect that. She's honestly not sure how to deal with that since it's very rare that someone actually considers her a friend, even when she talks to people regularly. But this isn't about her. ]

Try putting ginger, fennel, lemon, and cloves in hot rice water. That's all stuff that's good for making your stomach calm down even if you ate something super gross and think you might die, so it might help.

[ She doesn't know how they taste together, she just knows how to settle her stomach if she ate something weird...she doesn't know it'll help with what ails him, but at least it'll give him something to focus on for a little bit. ]

[Being here has made a pretty big difference in that. He's gotten to see another side of her, and hasn't experienced anything terrible at her hands. Hell even Mercury was more annoying at his worst here.

It really does make him wonder how life for all of them would have been had they not been dealt the cards they were.]

I should be able to make that. Thank you for the advice.

Get well soon I guess.

[ Unless he has something else to say, she doesn't really know. So she's just gonna drop it off unless he has something to add. ]
