[35][written/action]

[offallingsnow]

Too much time has passed without action being taken. We discussed, weeks ago, a meeting between all of those who would be willing to assist in the clinic and the creation of a new and more efficient system. It's time to finalize a time for that meeting now. Sooner, rather than later, is preferable.

[Peony approaches her, making his way through the rain, umbrella in hand. She's been avoiding him for too long.]

Nephry.

[offallingsnow]

[she has not been avoiding him. she's been avoiding me She's just not been seeking him out actively]

Your Majesty.

[enrappigtured]

[Lies.]

We need to talk.

[offallingsnow]

Yes.

[enrappigtured]

Let's go some place warmer.

[offallingsnow]

Where, then?

[enrappigtured]

Back to the house?

[offallingsnow]

I would prefer somewhere else.

[enrappigtured]

[Perhaps this wasn't the right time to talk, considering that Luke has just been sent home, but when will it ever be the right time?]

All right. Where do you want to go?

[offallingsnow]

[it doesn't matter to her, just not home]

[enrappigtured]

[His face softens. He already knows the outcome of this talk - he'll do whatever she wants him to do.]

How about the library? [Peony doesn't think anyone will be there in this weather.]

[offallingsnow]

That's fine.

[enrappigtured]

[Then he'll lead her to the library, taking care not to stand too close to her.]

[offallingsnow]

[well, he's being remarkably considerate today. She's not sure what that means for their impending conversation]

[enrappigtured]

[He still opens the door for her once they reach the building, so don't get too hopeful.]

[offallingsnow]

[and she chooses some seats in a corner out of the way, and mostly out of sight]
