[Terra believes in Sonic, is certain that he'll emerge from the battle just fine...and yet, she can't remain still. Homework, cooking, training...all of that is attempted half-heartedly, but nothing seems to be a sufficient distraction

[Brooke is sitting just outside of community building four, not doing anything at the moment but seeking a small change in scenery compared to being indoors either in her room or at the clinic. She looks up whenever anyone passes by, but doesn't make any real effort to speak to anyone; she knows it's late, that people are tired and probably making their way back to their respective homes for the evening, and so on.

When Terra passes by, however, is a different story. The sword carried with her makes it fairly obvious that someone is busy making rounds, and Brooke is wondering if-all recent events aside-things are going well enough here in the village.]

Quiet night, huh?

[The voice rouses Terra out of her jumbled thoughts, and she glances over with a slightly sheepish air about her. She nods, pausing her stride.]

It seems that way. I thought it might be otherwise, considering, but...I guess I'm wrong.

[The girl's expression shifts to a slightly-worried one.] If you asked me, I'd almost say it's too quiet. Always makes me think something's going to happen, you know?

[Terra's quick to nod at that, oddly a little relieved. If such thoughts are paranoid, at least she's not alone in them.]

I didn't want to say it, for fear of making other people nervous, but you could be right. The moments just before something really big happens always seem to be the calmest.

...I'm Terra, by the way.

[adoridelabun]

I'm Brooke. [Extending a hand.]

As much as I hate it, the only thing I can think of doing when it's quiet like this is just...wait and see what happens. If anything happens.

[Terra glances to the hand, then remembers her manners and meets it briefly with her own.]

It can be difficult to wait, but other than being watchful, I'm not sure what else can be done. This isn't the right time for an experiment, so at least there's that.
