He had arrived early to work that morning and was pleasantly surprised by Nanao's e-mail waiting for him, announcing the flowers she had bought. Jyuushirou had been longing for some color, so he'd been over to her office and picked up a nice flower to put on his desk.

After that, he's been trying to do some work, but he was rather tired and before he knew it, the text he was reading was just gibberish. He tried an hour's sleep in the 'bedroom', but it only helped a little.

With a sigh, the chairman stood from his seat inside his office, took of his suit jacket and opened the window to let in some air. He took a deep breath and looked outside. Since his window only showed the open area on the other side of SSI, it was a slightly boring view... and even more so now in winter.

It was cold outside, and Jyuushirou only dared to keep the window open for a little while. After he closed it, the cold air lingered and he quickly put on the suit jacket again. It was then that he remembered that Kuukaku had said that she would be up with some tea, and he smiled a little. Perhaps some tea would make him less tired.

There was a knock on the door... or was that a kick? It was probably her; he did not expect anyone else today. Walking over to the door, he opened it and smiled softly at the woman outside She was holding his tea with her lone hand, and he reached out to take it - while moving aside so she could step in to his office.

"Kuukaku-san, how nice to see you!" Jyuushirou said, the smile brightening up even more. "This is just what I needed, some tea and nice company. Please, come in, take a seat?"

For some reason, Kuukaku couldn't stop her smile. Maybe it was just because Jyuushirou meant it. Most people just smiled because it was nature, but he seemed to do it because he was pleased. Such a nice guy. Smiling back, Kuukaku stepped through the entry way carefully and grabbed a seat.

"Thanks for getting me out of that cafe," she said with a small grin. The idea of bringing tea to someone to get out of the shop was brilliant to her.

Running her palm over the fleshy bit of right arm she had left, she glanced at the window. The cold always made it hurt, so did rain. But the ache was gone momentarily as she crossed her long legs in front of her. "Have you been feeling better lately?"

She asked out of politeness and general curiosity. Kuukaku sometimes worried about his health. It fluctuated so much, and she didn't like anyone being in pain or sick. The idea made her feel so terrible, an emotion she hardly expressed. But in her opinion she suffered enough pain for everyone in the office.
