[ Help, he most certainly does not expect Lup to blip out of existence, but he's only got about half a second to process it before Evil Claude is turning attention to him.
They probably grapple for a bit, and it's extremely trippy being strangled by someone with your exact face. Mirror Claude has the advantage given that he's still armed, but Claude disengages with a kick to grab his own dagger and slices his throat.
Before also blipping out of existence.
And falling on his butt on the hallway, still pumped full of adrenaline. ]
lup is sprawled out in the hallway staring up at the ceiling with a hand pressed to her neck, feeling at it gingerly. she has strangulation marks there... which she hates.]
Hm. Four out of ten experience. [she says, lightly, trying to hide her voice hitching in the middle.]
[there's a pause, and then she shifts, pushing her hair over her shoulder. she turns her back to him, and shows him - there's burn scar, a little indent at the base of her neck. it looks like it was almost like... a port, at some point.]
Furby chewed on me. I guess, uh - I guess blasted my cache with Wrath? And that's why I looked like that. That was the Wrath leaking out of me.

no subject
Was that even real? ]
You okay?
[ Uhh, since you were stabbed. ]
no subject
... Presumably? [she puts a hand on her chest, like she's feeling for the stab wound. it is... not there.] I'm not dead. That's a win.
no subject
So that was pretty messed up.
[ Sits on the floor next to her. ]
no subject
[she... slowly sits up. and takes a very deep breath.]
Sorry. [she says, lamely.] That's the version of me nobody should meet.
no subject
What do you mean... "version" of you?
no subject
The bad version. Or. Well, badder.
no subject
no subject
No, it's the same me. Just uh, just from the last thing I was in. That's what I looked like.
no subject
[ It's a little obvious he kind of wants to ask more, but can sense it's not the most pleasant topic. ]
no subject
[she says, with a little huff of amusement.]
You can ask, I don't care.
no subject
What happened to make you look that way?
no subject
Furby chewed on me. I guess, uh - I guess blasted my cache with Wrath? And that's why I looked like that. That was the Wrath leaking out of me.
no subject
That's... terrible. To have that happen to you. That furby was really a terrible beast.
[ Remembering that Lup is tactile, he reached over with his cut up hand to give hers a careful squeeze. ]
no subject
[a pause, and then she takes his hand in return, holding it. she also bites her lip with a little hiss.]
We should get your hand cleaned up, bud.
no subject
[ Hm.
Before they completely move on though, he gives her a little pat on the shoulder. ]
I'm glad you're doing better now.
no subject
[a beat, and then:]
... I'm trying. That counts for something.
no subject
Now let's get patched up, huh?
no subject
Sure, sure. [she will help him up and walking too!!]
