It was only a quick stop, but Eva was on her way home from visiting her parents again. She accidentally bought too much flour on her last trip to the marketplace. It seemed like a better idea to give it someone who'd use it sooner instead of letting it sit in the back of the pantry for weeks.
The sun was starting to set as Eva walked along the familiar Lower district roads. She smiled as she passed a few children across the street playing in puddles from the morning rain. They reminded her of when she and her brother played with other Lower Class children when they were younger. Lost in nostalgia, Eva was suddenly brought back to the present when she heard a sound from alley she just walked by.
She slightly turned back and tilted her head curiously. Maybe it was a stray animal looking for food. Eva took a few steps backwards and looked down the alleyway to see what she believed was a small boy with the biggest part of bunny ears she'd ever seen. He had a few scratches on his body, but it looked as if something greater was causing him pain. "Myyy what big ears you have," Eva smiled announcing her presence before walking into the alley and crouching down near the boy. "Hmmm, you don't look too good. Do you need some help?"

The setting sun glared through the tall buildings, worsening Riku's already blurry vision. Just about 10 minutes ago he had been in a fight with numerous thugs while leaving his workplace in the slums. They seemed to think they could mug him for what he had but was ignorant to Riku's ability to take care of himself. He was only having minor trouble defending himself since these guys barely knew how to throw a decent punk but with so many around he needed to use magic to keep things fair. Things were going so well it was a complete shock to Riku when a wave of magic overdose symptoms hit him. Incredible pain shot through his head causing him to instantly become dizzy and stumble, leaving an opening for one of the thugs to wake him in the head with something. He had fallen to the ground and instantly knew he wouldn't be able to fight with the overdose symptoms so strong so he used what magic he could to freeze over the ground and snag the their feet. Afterwards he wobbled to his feet and darted off before the thugs could break free.
Now Riku was stumbling through back alleys, trying to stay out of site. His head was still throbbing, more so since he had been hit pretty hard there. A think stream of blood rolling down the side of his face let him know it was worse than he thought. Riku huffed, his heart pounding as he tried to focus on where he had to go. Which way was home? He leaned on a wall trying to catch his breathe. He knew this area, he did! However he couldn't get his thought together to know how to get home. "Damn it!" Riku kicked a garbage can over out of frustration. He knew exactly what was happening. His dehydration was causing his dizziness and heart problems but it was also causing him to get confused about everything. Riku closed his eyes and slid down the wall. He could barely think anymore and just wish he was home because he had pills that could help him with this. "Damn...even if I had some water..." Riku swallowed feeling his dry throat only feel like it was being scratched. It felt like he was in a fuckign desert.
"Myyy what big ears you have,"
Riku opened his eyes trying to register the words he just heard. Where were they coming from? They spoke again and Riku realized the owner had suddenly gotten extremely close to him without even realizing it. He jumped just a little but then flustered at being offered help. He frowned feeling to prideful to accept the girl's offer, trying to not look like he was in pain. H began to push himself up using the wall as help to stand. "N-no. I don't need-" but before he could finish he fell straight back down. Riku grunted, angry that his legs couldn't even support his own weight now. Was it all the running that he did that made him worse?
With a sigh, Riku just leaned back on the wall to give the girl a quick examination. She was quite pretty...right? God Riku couldn't even decide if he was right right now, he couldn't think straight. But regardless...He didn't think she looked liked someone that he would get in trouble with right now...So at least that was something? Looking away, Riku became embarrassed by his situation. He really must look pathetic right now. At least his breathing was a little bit better since he stopped to rest. He swallowed, his pride talking a huge blow for what he was about to say.
"I...yeah...I think I need help."

The boy rejected Eva's help and tried to stand only to find himself back on the ground. "Hmhm, you don't have to try acting so tough. It's okay to need help you know~" She laughed a little seeing the look of embarrassment on his face. Eva set the color changing therapeutic light of her hat and coat to a soft blue. The light filling the alley was probably causing more attention than the rabbit boy wanted, but hopeful the calming color would help him relax.
"Now what could be wrong with you, I wonder...." Eva placed her elbows on her knees and rest her head in her hands and silently studied the boy for a moment. Beside his visible physical injuries, he also he seemed out of breath and possibly dehydrated? Was he extremely fatigued? "Hmmm, well obviously you've been in a fight," she noted as she lightly lifted his bangs to look at his head injury then withdrew her hand, "buuut it seems like there's something else hurting you... Hmhm, a little boy like you isn't trying to fight off big bad bullies with magic, right?" She hoped that wasn't the case. Children from this district probably wouldn't be able to afford magic from legal stores. Eva could only imagine what kind of effect blackmarket magic would have on a child this size.

Riku flinched when the lady reached out to draw up his bangs. It was obvious she was just checking him out but he wasn't used to this kind of attention from anyone. Her suddenly becoming a light bulb was rather strange to...although very pretty? For a moment he caught himself wonder about the fabric of her clothes, he certainly had read about the kind before but couldn't remember the name and had never saw it before either. His momentary distraction was cut off though when the girl began to talk more and the words 'little boy' drifted from her lips.
Riku instantly groaned, scowling and pulling himself to sit up a bit more. "Really?" He said, an obvious irritation filling his words. He stopped counting how many times this has happened. Hell it's happened with nearly everyone he's ever met. Just because he was short didn't mean he was a kid! "I'm 26 years old." He spoke with a tired voice, reaching up to whip a bit of blood that had dripped to close to his eye. "but yeah..." He looked down, remembering the urgency of his predicament. His breathing may have gotten better but his heart hadn't slowed down much and he still couldnt think very clearly. If only he could remember the directions to his home he could just ask her to call him a cab or something. "It is magic overdose...I got jumped by like 5 guys so-" His words trailed off, not really wanted or feeling like it was necessary to explain any further.

"Wooow, really? Twenty-six? Haha, I thought you were waaaay younger than that. Sorry~" Eva laughed at her mistake, but was it really her fault? After all, it seemed like he got mistaken for a child a lot with how irritated his voice sounded when he corrected her. Maybe those oversized ears of his stole his height. /HIT
The boy briefly explained the cause of his condition. It was already obvious he'd gotten into a fight, but magic overdose did explain the rest. "Ohh so that's what it is. Poor thing..." Eva paused for a moment then leaned forward and gave him a quick sniff. She was using her dog genetic splicing to figure out the smell of which magic chemical he recently used. She leaned back with her nose in the air as she analyzed the smell. Water magic orrr... maybe ice?
Her eyes onto him as she gave him a smile. "You must be dehydrated, ooor maybe feeling a bit too hot, right? Can I check your body temperature?" Eva reached out her hands requesting for his. She had experience helping volunteer patients and coworkers whenever they overdosed on magic during experiments. There were various ways to help them, but she needed to know rabbit eared boy's body's condition before offering him anything. "Also, if you don't mind me asking, haha. Is this your first time overdosing with magic? I reeeally don't think anyone would blame you for running away from an ambush. Why would you fight sooo hard with magic that you'd make yourself sick, silly? Or maaaybe~ Hmhm, you were having too much fun?" She needed to check all bases before offering medication. Even addiction.

Riku's irritation was quickly replaced with more confusion when the girl leaned in and...smelled him? "uhh..." Riku quirked his eyebrow at the girl, suddenly finding her slightly strange...Not bad but...that was certainly the first time anyone ever smelled him. Riku was just glad she opted to request his hands to take his temperature rather than doing the whole forehead thing. He was sure that probably would have made him hotter than he already is. It's not like he regularly had being that close to him...or really even around him.
Riku started to reach out his hand to place on hers but paused when he noticed they were a bit dirty from blood and such so he pulled them back and whipped the on his pants a bit. Afterwards he did as she asked and listened to the rest of her questions. They definitely weren't once he wanted to answer. Riku frequently overdosed on magic which is why he had medication to stop the effects at him, it wasn't something he wanted to admit though. However...it'd be pretty stupid to lie to someone that was trying to help him out. Plus it'd only only cause his body more trouble if he did so.
"I can't say it was fun having been jumped unexpectedly." He frowned, getting kinda angry at the memory of it. He was suppose to get some supplies before heading home but that plan was ruined. "Can't say I didn't enjoy retaliating though." Riku looked down, reluctantly withdrawing his hands from her, deciding she had enough time to check his temperature. "and...no." He sighed glancing back up at her. "It's not the first time...however, I normally have medication to halt to effects when it happens."

Eva took the boy's hands after he wiped them clean of blood. She hoped it was the blood of people who attacked him rather than his. It might have been better if she could feel his forehead, but she didn't want to overstep her bounds with this stranger. But his hands were very warm. She could at least assume he was experiencing some kind of rise in body temperature.
She was happy the boy answered all her questions, but his explanation on how he usually handled overdosing raised some concerns. "Huuuuh? You're not saying you overdose sooo often that you have to carry medication, are you~? Hmhm, no wonder your body is reacting so strongly." Eva playfully laughed. She tapped the metal bracelet on her right wrist and opened a little compartment with pills. "It sounds like you have an addiction to magic~ Well... Unleeeess you do work like me." Eva's job as a magic researcher and salesperson caused her to use the substance for experiments and demonstrations to customers. She had to admit she had a little addiction herself.
Her bracelet rattled as she scrolled the belt of pills inside her bracelet until she found the ones she was looking for. Eva popped out two small pills and held them between her fingers. "Haha, does your medication look something like this?" She wasn't ready to offer them to him if they were. If he'd admit to his addiction, then she didn't want to just temporarily relieve him of his pain and go. She'd want to give him more help.

Even with his fatigue making it hard to think, Riku found that the girl carrying around so many different pills was a bit odd. He tried to think about it more but honestly he couldn't bring himself to focus on anything but his steady pain that was becoming more annoying than anything. It didn't help that he was getting cotton mouth and that was super annoying.
"I uh..." He squinted looking at the pills she held up. "I think that's them?...maybe a different brand though..." It was honestly a little hard to tell when he was in a constant semi-confused state. Even in his current state he didn't want to outright admit to having a magic addiction, mostly because it wasn't entirely true. Yeah he might be a little addicted to it but if there was anything he could take that would give him the same power as magic he could easily drop magic instantly. He'd probably rather admit to magic addiction than being power hungry though...
"I use magic probably daily or every other day..." He leaned back against the wall more, wondering why the girl hadn't given him the medicine yet. Was he going t have to pay her off or something? He'd probably pay as much as needed if he could just have it now. "I have small symptoms sometimes...but i've never had them this bad."
