In which Cecile and Watari have a short encounter outside.
Cecile: *on patrol outside with Kogoro at her heels, secretly looking to see which flowers have started to bloom*
Watari: *making his way out the main castle where is rooms are, hobbling along on his crutch, to who knows where the ninja intends to go*
Cecile: *hears the unique, unsteady foosteps and looks around for the source, spotting him* Sir Watari! Did you trip? *runs over*
Watari: *looks over at Cecile with his usual devoid of emotion expression* Of a sort.
Cecile: *walks around and eyes his crutches curiously, then pauses* You're missing something!
Watari: What? *so not looking forward to this*
Cecile: Your special racing stripes!!! I gave some to Sir Kyle--*digs through her pockets and comes up with two orange ribbons*
Watari: Uh, no, thank you, I get along fine without them. *abhors the idea of standing out*
Cecile: But it's for good luck!!! You might heal faster!!
Watari: It's alright. The color clashes anyway. *hopes against hope this will click in her girlish mind*
Cecile: *blank look* .... Nothing clashes with orange. :O *a-matter-of-factly*
Watari: Actually yes, things do clash with orange. Namely me. <<
Cecile: Does it hurt? *hoping to possibly distract him so she can tie the ribbons onto his crutches*
Watari: Not much. Sigurd put it to rights mostly.
Cecile: I have not seen him around as much lately. I hope he is healing well!!!
Watari: He seemed fine in the infirmary.
Cecile: *relieved sigh* That's wonderful. I feel as though the infirmary is finally the way it should be--mostly empty!! Although, hopefully you were not there long yourself.
Watari: *shrugs* Maybe an hour.
Cecile: That's the amount of time people should spend in the infirmary. >:|
Cecile: Where are you headed? *curious*
Watari: To work.
Cecile: *cheerfully keeps talking, oblivious* It must be so nice to be back!! But all your ninja friends left while you were gone... are you sad...?
Watari: Ninja friends? *not sure whom she means*
Cecile: Well, Lady Ayame for one!! *nods*
Watari: *goes very quiet* Yes, upsetting.
Cecile: *quiets herself after a moment, feeling as though she somehow overstepped some invisible boundary*
Watari: *starts hobbling again*
Cecile: *pauses, and after a moment trails after him like a little puppy, Kogoro on her heels* S-Sir
Watari! Did I offend you??
Watari: No.
Cecile: .... *stops trailing after him and bows a little* Either way, I am sorry. I am holding you up from going to your job!!!
Watari: *looks back at her* Not your fault.
Cecile: *flusters a bit, not used to so much silence* I-I'll make you cookies!! Or stew!! Get-Well-Soon-If-You-Eat-This-Stew stew!!!
Watari: No, that's all right. *doesn't like eating anything he has not made*
Cecile: *definitely rejected now, and shuffles a little awkwardly* Well I... I'mreally glad to see you are back.
Watari: *pauses at that, a little unsure of how to react* *after a long silence* It was good to see you there...at the gate when I came.
Cecile: *suddenly bursts into a smile* I'm so glad I was!! After all, had I not been, you might not have known it was Budehuc you had returned to!!!!
Watari: *will not argue that point* Thank you for keeping my room open.
Cecile: *bows again* You're welcome, Sir Watari. I did promise I would!
Cecile: *flails a bit* I should let you get back to work!! I'm sorry for pestering you!! Let me know if you change your mind about the stew!!!
Watari: *nods* Thank you. *hobble-hobble-bunnyhop-hobble*
