Nah. We stayed at the inn. I'm still all - I'm tired. [ she gestures to her whole self. ] My hit points are, uh - real low. I just wanted somewhere soft to sleep.
[gentle hand swinging then as they head back into town]
That's some sharp shooting good thinking on your part, Miss Ru.
[posh cowboy makes him even more polite? i guess?]
We'll try to investigate and see what could've happened to Miss Alyssa then - and I do believe that the other person we're looking for is Miss Hikaru, but I also heard an account that the latter's nova might've been splintering well into Thursday.
[ she nods a little. her hand is a little warmer than usual? it's not icy cold. ]
Yeah. That's what I heard, too. [ she follows him into town. ] I, uh. I know there's gonna be a lot of people up in arms about the murder of the 14 year old, but.
I really liked Alyssa, you know? [ so she wants to make sure... ]
[ ? he notices the change in temperature but - at least for the time being doesn't ask after it
but he will squeeze her hand gently.]
... mm. I can set with that. [i now have a cowboy dictionary]
I don't intend on allowing what happened last week to come pass a second time around. [because he won't be fighting off a headache for most of it!] We can divide our attention so that we can be more effective, instead of failing to reach any answers at all.
Alyssa wasn't putting off any air or strangeness last night, was she?
[he's literally never cursed in a way that isn't just parroting Lup, that's as close as he's getting]
Hmm... Let's rustle up something to eat - something you haven't had in a while. Wet our whiskers with some ale and spirits.
I'll see if I round up some sparklers from a Leader, even if we can't do fireworks.
A bonfire come evening - we'll get Sora and Blanca and whoever else you'd like to corral, and do scary stories that'll have us shaking in our boots.
I don't know if I have all the items at my disposal for a perfect day.... but I'll aim for a real good one for you. Then we'll try for perfect, at the end, when everyone can be together.

he looks a bit surprised at that]
.... but your person is alright?
[he asks this first, because he wants to be sure.]
Who all was with you?
no subject
[ mostly. she liked alyssa. ]
Uhhh. Blanca, me, Sora, Izumo, Clementine, Alyssa, and Alphinaud. Oh, and Wolf.
no subject
That is quite the group you corralled together. Nothing odd afflicted any of you, I reckon?
[since SHE'S not talking like a posh cowboy
but he'll also hold his hand out to her, palm up, in case she wants to hold onto him]

[ :c
also congrats on your cowboy dictionary i hope it makes me close my eyes ]
no subject
slips his hand away from hers if only to set it around her shoulders in as close of a hug he can get while they're still walking.]
... I reckon you're missing her mighty badly.
no subject
... I guess. [ she sighs. ] I mean, we weren't besties or anything, just.
[ this game is getting to her, finally. ]
no subject
[and he looks down at her worriedly]
Sorry for your loss, Miss Ru. We'll pen her a mighty fine message when we can.
no subject
For sure. I'm going to send her something when, uh. When I've got the chance.
[ ... ] The, uh. The announcement nearly gave me a heart attack earlier. Last night was the first time I didn't, uh. Spend a Thursday with Taako.
no subject
I reckon that'd be the case.
I went to follow after him, seeing as I knew you'd be raising hell if so much as a hair on his head were out of place.
I'll do what I can come next week too, if it ain't solved by then.
Still, I know you must've been alarmed.
no subject
I found him. It's okay. [ ... ] I'm working on a plan.
I just, uh. I just need to hold onto my own fucking memories. And it'll work out.
no subject
Let me know what I can do for you, and it'll be done.
[whatever that plan is, whenever she has it -
she has him, too.]
no subject
... Thanks, Soo-won.
no subject
[no it isn't
but he'll stay close with her anyway and let his face press against her hair for a moment]
no subject
she stays close as well, mostly just letting him lead her wherever. she just seems tired. ]
no subject
but also:]
... this Tuesday, let's do something fun. Danger optional, but injuries minimal.
[no matter what happens, because he obviously won't let anything happen to either of them - but he thinks that she really needs something fun]
no subject
she sort of laughs a little at that. ]
Yeah? Okay. Why, you got a hot date planned for Monday or something? [ tease, tease. ]
no subject
Dagnabbit, Ru....
no subject
You are so easy. [ teehee ] What kind of fun?

a perfect day. ]
Stealing ideas from my brother, huh. [ but - it's not a bad thing. her chest feels tight from it. ]
I, um. I'd like that, I think.
