8th raindrop ❦ [voice]

[gospelofgreen]

I'm feeling tired... I might not be at camp tomorrow. I know we're about to wrap things up, but I'm just exhausted. Sorry. I'll make sure to get plenty of rest.

[Rest in the gardens, that is; lying back near the flowers with her hands clasped over her middle, gazing up at the ceiling. It's late to be out, but she doesn't want to leave just yet

Aa? Aerith-dono...? Did you also come down with a case of Bullshitus Beditis, like the campers in cabin 5-A on their latrine cleaning day?

[VIDEO] ...did he make the name up or the campers XD

[gospelofgreen]

...I'm--I'm not making it up! I'm not sick, just tired.

Re: [VIDEO] the campers 8( he took them to the nurse's station

[itsnotzura]

[that's not that normal]

[why do women get tired?]

[if they're pregnant, don't want to become pregnant, or brokenhearted]

...Ah.

[well she already said she was going to get plenty of rest so]

...Should I bring warm towels and applesauce?

[VIDEO] Oh Katsura. /aids and abets misunderstandings

[gospelofgreen]

Hm?

[Why on earth are you offering warm towels and applesauce

but]

...I like applesauce. [And it's easier to accept the applesauce than talk about heartbreak okay]

[video]

[itsnotzura]

[nods, palpably relieved to have Something to Do About the Situation]

[even though he's still not sure which one it is, applesauce and warm towels could apply to any of those!]

Where are you...?

[video]

[gospelofgreen]

In the garden--but don't worry too much about me, okay? I'll be all right.

Re: [video]

[itsnotzura]

Aa... of course.

[BS starts worrying immediately]

[not very good at hiding this]

I shall be there shortly.

[DISCONNECTED.]

[he's wandering a bit aimlessly among the hedges and flowers a few minutes later, remembering belatedly they hadn't agreed on a meeting spot or a wild animal call]

[so he just]

[keeps making different wild animal calls]

Hoo, hoo. Hoo, hoo.

Cocorikooo. Cocorikooo.

Wan wan. Wan wan.

[action]

[gospelofgreen]

[gdit she hates worrying people. Next time she will just suck it up and go to work, even if that means bottling up cloud of misery.]

[...what on earth are those noises, Katsura. Coming over to investigate.]

My, the garden's lively tonight.

Re: [action]

[itsnotzura]

[oh, there she is]

[must've been the baby puppy-chan call]

[he should have known]

Aerith-dono.

[he fishes in his kimono sleeve for a few moments, producing a few of those little applesauce snack packs, and plastic-wrapped spoons]

I brought what you've requested.

[action]

[gospelofgreen]

[stares down at the applesauce snack packs because this really is one of the weirder "feel better" gestures she's seen]

[but she takes]

[...and opens one right away because fuck yes, sugar with none of the guilt chocolate brings]

[natural pick-me-ups go]

You make it sound so formal. But thanks. Do you eat applesauce a lot?

Re: [action]

[itsnotzura]

[opens one too, kneeling (also rather formally) in the grass beside one of the flowerbeds to eat]

Aa... no, not often. But Elizabeth enjoys them.

[did that mean Elizabeth was pregnant?]

[wait, no, they'd had that scare already, and it had turned out to be a hangover]

[om noms his snack pack quietly]

[action]

[gospelofgreen]

[sits by him, tucking her legs under at an angle, not kneeling.]

Elizabeth...a roommate? [since you have such easy access to her snackage] I hope you're not snitching snacks for me.

Re: [action]

[itsnotzura]

Oh, no. She is my pet.

[a pause, as he tries to swat away a weird little butterfly without actually killing it]

[sjdfnjksf]

[get out of Aerith-dono's applesauce gdit]

[action]

[gospelofgreen]

Hey, what--?

[THERE IS A BUTTERFLY IN MY APPLESAUCE what]

Be careful!

[...]

[...]

[Scoops that portion of applesauce out, dumps it out of the spoon from about three inches off the grass]

[be free, butterfly]

[or at least get out of the food]

[action]

[gospelofgreen]

...What kind of pet is she?

[And can I eat the rest of this cup :|a]
