Uh...I think I'm back...hard to tell though, I guess. Maybe this time someone will be there to read it? I wonder how long I've been gone...

[[ooc: Boy, is it good to be back~ I was nice to Sheena here and she's not almost dead for once :) ]]

You still haven't been able to explain why you think that.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

What do you mean?

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Why shouldn't it bother you?

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Because Richter would be angry if he found out I'd been moping around this whole time, that's why.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

But it wouldn't be like you to not worry.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I guess you're right.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Taking your mind off it for a little while might make it easier for you, Emil.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

But what if they're returned while I'm not here?

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

You can still keep and ear and an eye out. People aren't usually returned right to their houses either.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

You're right, and I can still go on patrols to look for them.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Yep. [this is what we wanted! Action, not sit-and-mope]

We could go right now if you wanted. But you'd have to eat first. I'm not patrolling with someone who's gonna pass out from hunger.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

But I already ate this morning... I think. Maybe it was yesterday morning.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Are you hungry?

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Not really.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

[goes to get up, but the attempt is a bad one and she sits right back down again]

Okay, maybe not the best idea...

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

H-hey, are you all right? Maybe you should rest here for a while before you try to go back home. I can get you some water if you need it.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Water'd be great.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Okay!

[Dashing off to the kitchen now.]

[corrinesbell]

[chilling on the couch, head in her hands until she hears him coming back. Then she'll look up again]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[He's got a glass of ice water in one hand, which he carefully hands to her once he nears the couch.]

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Thanks, Emil.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Are you feeling all right?

[He looks worried.]

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. I'm just a little tired.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Maybe you should go back home and rest.

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, maybe. ...But I wanna help you.
