97. Countdown

[corrinesbell]

[It's still pouring. Sheena would be reminded of her first few days in Luceti. ...If she wasn't asleep. Out in the rain. On a bench somewhere.

In her defense, she was headed for the clinic because she just couldn't stand being sick anymore. Whether or not they would have been able to do a whole lot didn't matter.

Anyway. Sleeping, in the pouring rain, outside. What do you do?]

[Normally Minato wouldn't be wandering today, as rain and he don't mix well, but he needed some supplies that couldn't wait. On the way to the square he spots Sheena managing to take narcolepsy to a level he hasn't yet managed. Approaching, he holds the umbrella over her and gently shakes her shoulder. If thunder won't wake her, neither will talking.]

[go away you stupid shaking. She shrugs him off and makes an annoyed noise]

[emp3thy]

[harder shaking. Rain is not healthy, Sheena.]

[corrinesbell]

[big deal go away. She smacks at him drowsily with one hand]

[emp3thy]

[...] You can't sleep here.

[corrinesbell]

'm not sleeping. [angry face] I'm goin' to the clinic.

[emp3thy]

[...you were sleeping, but he won't argue now.]

Want some help, then?

[corrinesbell]

I'm fine.

[emp3thy]

[this is... a very skeptical face.]

[corrinesbell]

[this is a very peeved, wet, pale-flushed face]

[emp3thy]

[...well then.

He'll just sit down on the bench beside her, still holding his umbrella to keep most of the rain away from them both.]

[corrinesbell]

...What're you doing?

[emp3thy]

Sitting.

[corrinesbell]

Why?
