probably because there is indeed a hawk up there, wherever alex might be. soo-won isn't too far either, head inclined up toward the sky with a smile that's a bit softer than what he's given to the public so far
though eventually the hawk swoops down, descending from the sky - though he might have to swoop around past alex in order to get to soo-won based on the trajectory. soo-won reaches out an arm for the bird to land on but - ]
[ she does duck, almost on instinct, when the hawk s w o o p s down to nyoom towards its master. and then just... stands there for a moment like she's not quite sure what happened. ]
[ being outside is better than being locked up in her room with her thoughts, so alex is outside, walking around the town with something small and soft cradled under her arm.
she makes her way to the bridge eventually because that's where rng has decided they are, stopping only when she sees soo-won nearby. ]
[IF ALEX IS WANDERING INTO THE FIRST AID STATION, soo-won is already here!! he turns when someone is approaching and offers up a smile even as he pauses going through the cabinets]
Oh - just the miss I was hoping to see. How're you feeling?
[ well he’s going to feel how she’s feeling before she gets a chance to open her mouth and say anything —- there’s a little sadness there, lingering like perfume, but there’s also a surprising amount of fear there as well.
not sharp and overpowering, more like a dread that starts in your stomach and creeps up. whatever’s causing it, it’s not showing on alex’s face. ]
Hello there. Did you need me for something?
[ hm? ] Oh, I’m... well. About as well as you can expect after the weekend.
[WELL AFTER THAT SOO-WON'S MAKING HIS ROUNDS he has a tray and on that tray there's going to be a pot of tea, a stack of cups, aaaaand a bottle of whiskey
when he approaches alex he gives her a smile]
Wouldn't suppose you have a preference in what to drink?
[ don't go chassssiinnnng waterfalls... just stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to~
anyway.
alex is at the waterfall! last time she was here, there was a leopard and she did a lot of hiding. but this time it seems quieter, and she's tentatively climbing up onto some of the rocks around the waterfall so she can sit at the top of it and watch the water cascade down. ]
[soo-won isn't too far either!! it seems like there's a bird flying in the sky? his gaze is watching gulfan fly all across the sky, smiling faintly at the sight before he notices alex
[ alex makes her way to the bookstore eventually, she looks somewhere between tired and deeply, deeply relieved. her attempts at finding a book are surface level at best, more like she's just trying to keep herself occupied.
when she sees won, she stops. and after a moment, she walks over to him and just takes a seat next to him. ]

Oh - hello. Sorry, was that too close?
no subject
N-no, it's fine.
no subject
It doesn't look fine - I'm sorry. Gulfan's probably restless after he was stuck inside yesterday.
He won't hurt you, I promise.
