La troisième floraison | Video

[whatsatisfiesme]

[There is no good reason for the video feature to be on in this darkness, but Gilbert is not so good with your alien, advanced technology, Death City. And so you have shadows shifting on shadows and the vaguely visible silhouette of a person, curled on what might be a bed or a couch. It may look - though it's so hard to tell, in this light - as if

You look a little cold, yeah? Where in the CC are you?

[whatsatisfiesme]

It's cool out, and there's no heat with the power off like this.

[That's all matter-of-fact, though, despite the shiver. He's been colder, and he doesn't especially mind it just now.]

In my room. [A quick beat] On the fourth floor.

[lyingragnarok]

Don't you have some towels? Or some sheets and blankets, yeah?

{Thinks.]

Well, I'm on the seventh! I can bring you some candles, yeah? If you still need some!

[whatsatisfiesme]

I do; I was going to dry and warm up after I'd gotten the candles.

[Which is to say, he is presently making a soaking mess of his couch and being a huge idiot.]

...I'd appreciate that. Merci.

[lyingragnarok]

How about you go and dry up, and I'll be right there with the candles, yeah? Give me a few minutes!

[There's a brief pause on Gilbert's end, his head tilting slightly at the screen. Then he half shrugs.]

Alright. It's room F.

[And he reaches to flip off the video, rising from the couch.]

[She grabs the candles she bought in case of a blackout, like they had before, and she made her way to his room, knocking on the door.]

Hey!

[action]

[whatsatisfiesme]

[Gilbert takes a few moments to answer. When the door swings open, though, he's standing there in the dark -- no longer dripping now, with only his hair still damp, and dressed in a long night-shirt.

He gives a small, perhaps slightly uncertain nod by way of greeting.]

Good evening.

[action]

[lyingragnarok]

Hi! [Vanille smiled brightly, face illuminated by the candle she held in one hand. She had a bunch of others in her other hand, all ready to go and be used.]

You look a lot better now, yeah? Not as wet.
