"Um, that guy, Yorick...Well, I've got a...bad feeling about him." Seras said to EMily when she saw Yorick leave completely.

[color=ff9966]"You aren't native to this world, are you?"[/color] the person asked. She then offered Victoria the device, so Victoria could write out any responses more complex than 'yes' or 'no'.
"Um...Both I guess. He just...kind of gives me the creeps and I'm not sure if we should trust him."
Victoria would see that the person was wearing an outfit consisting of some skin-tight material with armour plating attached to it. The figure had two visible guns; one on their back and the other at their hip. Also on their belt was a combat knife, and a number of pouches.
After a few seconds, the person asked another question. [color=ff9966]"What is this facility?"[/color]

Before Seras could reply, she got a strange look on her face and recoiled a bit as she looked past EMily.
As you might have guessed, Yorick was walking up to the two. He seemed to have a rather sorrowful and morose look on his face, which wasn't really normal for him.
"Hey." he said to EMily and Seras, who was practically hiding behind EMily's shoulder.

Combat gear... Might wanna try and play my cards right here... Victoria slowly reached her hand back up to the person's tablet. She wrote out the word 'Hospital' on it with her fingertip, then let her arm drop back to her side to indicate that she was done.
The figure stared at the word for a second, then seemed to freeze. [color=ff9966]"This is a medical facility? I'm sorry if I'm hurting your recovery."[/color] she said. [color=ff9966]"Is there a way for me to help you?"[/color]
"Yeah. So...I was probably out of line with some of the stuff I did today. I guess I just wanted to say I'm sorry for...making you worry or anything. I just...I got upset about a lot of what happened today." Yorick said, rubbing his eyes and sounding genuinely upset.
Seras continued to stand behind EMily.
Seras continued to stand behind EMily.
"Telling the truth is a noble virtue. And for that I forgive you." She bowed her head. "But if there's anything I'd like to know it's that I want to know what's making you upset. I've noticed it happen a few times. I've had a distant sister for the longest time who often got upset. So I just want to know what's biting you. You can tell me anything, and I won't tell." Her voice spoke with a calmness. She looked over at Seras. "And hopefully Seras won't either."
"Well, people died today." Yorick said while shrugging and turning to face away from EMily. "Guess a street magician isn't really cut out to save lives." he continued.
She sighed. "You don't have to have superpowers to save lives, you know? This was a tough scenario, no doubt. And it was probably your first match with a hostage situation. To be quite honest, when I first met you I didn't expect you to wield a bunch of swords for a magician. You're a magician after all who does tricks." She took another deep breath. "I remember a phrase that was given to me one time, and it says that if you want to do the right thing, you must have the strength to do so. This does not mean superpowers or anything. But if you want to save lives as a magician, think about what you can do to help. Maybe you don't need to be in the lines of combat to help. Maybe you don't need to wield a sword or an axe. Just ask yourself every time you get frustrated: out of all the anger you experienced, did you learn anything?"
