[Vil, so beautiful and yet so tortured. Always admired but never seen. Well, at least by most. Returning to his task of healing, Rook pulls a small potion vial from his kit and unstoppers it, pouring it over Vil's wounded hand. The sanitized wound begins to heal rapidly.]
There, now. Monsieur Magicam has had a drop of your poison. Let it seep in, and he shall see how his stomach fairs tomorrow, non?
[No thanks necessary between such good friends. Beaming, Rook puts the first aid kit back together and closes it, jumping to his feet.]

I haven't made any decision. I told him to leave... that's all.
[Because he was hurt. Because Vil couldn't stand to see that shattered smile and know it was him who conjured it.
But, if he was honest with himself... part of him didn't expect Cater to return.
His gaze opens again, and his hand flexes slightly as he inspects Rook's work.]
I suppose he shall. Thank you, Rook.
