week 3, post-execution
[Well, okay, there is Some Bullshit™ going on with carrying heads, but what's important to Ris is that Minato is wandering off without so much as touching the potion Caleb set out before him.
So, she's snatching it up and following the stream of people out, trying to keep her eye on the blue head of hair, but it's difficult when there's an entire audience moving too and Ris is so much shorter than most of the people here.
Regardless, eventually, she manages to hunt Minato down, and there is a righteous fury in that one visible eye of hers as she calls out to him.]
Minato!
[He'd damn well better acknowledge her.]

Then explain to me why you "deserve" to lose usage of a hand for something you had no control over. Because what you just said right now?
That's how I feel about you.

...I'm sorry...
[She...got attached to someone like him? He's sorry for that, and for screwing up again...]

It's not like she can walk this back. She may as well just keep herself exposed.]
...I wonder if you even truly know what you're apologizing for.
[She doesn't look at him when she says that, turning her gaze down to the table for a moment. After taking that time to collect herself, though, she looks back up again.]
If you truly care for us so much, then please. Care for yourself, even if you can't fathom why you should.
Those who care for you hurt when you do. If nothing else registers with you from this conversation, I want that much to.

[She says so, and it's like....a cold shower, maybe? He doesn't know what it's like, but he can feel it. She's right. He doesn't really know what he's apologizing for.... He's just so used to having to, for always being mistaken or flawed...sometimes without knowing what he did to cause offense, just that he messed up.
He....looks away. He doesn't know how to reply to that.]

You matter, Minato. You may not see it, you may not understand it, but it's true.
Take care of yourself. Please. That's all I ask.
