[She kept running. Running until she'd gotten all the way home and ducking into her room. Leaving the animals making noise in alarm at their owner's distress. She didn't open the door to Tater's barks and scratches, instead she braced herself against it like the small dog would push his way in. Her forehead pressed against the cool wood as she drooled blood down her chin.
Mikasa didn't count how long it took. Long enough for Tater to whine and stop barking, still scratching feebly at the floor to be let. But Mikasa couldn't. She shouldn't have come back to the cottage she'd called home for the past few months. What if she attacked the animals or her housemate?
But it was too late, she'd already rushed into her territroy without thinking. Not that she was sure where else to go as she slowly sunk to the floor, resting her back against the door, hitting her head in the process.
It took another moment to realise she owed someone an apology. And another to speak once she started the recording. Her voice heavy when she finally spoke.]
I'm... [An inhale. Steadying her voice into something more determined.] I'm sorry for attacking you... Are you doing okay?
[She didn't even know how much or how little damage she'd done.]
[ He'd tried to follow initially, but Mikasa had been much faster than him, and he's lost her quickly. That she ran home doesn't seem improbable, but it's not like Sougo would know for a fact this is what happened.
So he'd taken to wandering aimlessly in a city too big for him to really catch sight of her by accident. It's lucky that she calls him, and he eagerly answer quickly, noting the way her voice sounds. ]
[It got a small sigh of relief, another slight thud in the background as she slumped into the background.]
I guess... I've just...been really tired, then I felt something. [A rustle as she shrugged. She really didn't know how to describe it. Her jaw had ached and there had been that bone-deep weariness that seemed constant now. Then the moment he'd channeled magic...]
I do... But... [It was strange. She wasn't sure how to word the bond stuff. She'd had Tendou and that eventually hadn't been enough. Then she'd gotten Emet-Selch and she could feel the difference between a witch and a monster bond. How much more magic flowed even though she couldn't sense the witch's feelings like she had with Tendou.
...A part of that might just be because Emet-Selch was more private. But the amount of magic compared to Tendou had been staggering. To the point that when Tendou vanished, she'd felt his lack of presence but not a lack of magic.
And yet...She'd still felt that gnawing sensation that something was missing.]

Mm, it wasn't anything serious. I feel fine!
[ It's his turn to hesitate for a moment. ]
But Mikasa... are you?
no subject
Yeah. I'm fine... I wasn't the one who was injured. [Why would she not be fine?]
no subject
Yeah, but I wasn't injured that badly either! Besides, it seemed more like something was going on with you.

Mikasa... do you have a Bond right now?

I had two before... But he went home.
