11th Memory [Voice/Action][Future-dated to tomorrow]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[Sayo returns from the tunnels, and it's like a welled up pressure in her chest finally dissipates into something more manageable-to go from a battlefield of bodies to a clean, cold forest that takes the air right out of her... she almost feels detached from reality, for the return home. Nothing left physically but a bandaged arm. A stitched up cut

[It takes a bit for Nami to get back to Sayo-- she's still sleeping a lot, right now, though she's much, much improved. Her voice is a little thin, but she sounds happy to hear from you all the same.]

Sayo? How are you doing?

[whats_a_sneeze]

[She fidgets with her hands, unable to remember much in the way of filtering; after a pause, a tired voice speaks up:]

Could you... make this private for me? I'm not sure how.

[Filtered 85%]

[mikangirl]

[...]

Sure, hold on. [It takes her a bit of fidgeting herself, not being in the most awake state. But she can manage a reasonably high filter.]

It's as high as I can make it, Sayo. Are you all right?

[She nods, and takes a moment to speak. When she finally does, her voice trembles a little against her better desires.]

I... I wanted to apologize. It was my fault what happened happened.

[no_use_running]

We're back.

Re: [Voice]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[a pause, and then a tired but reassured-or at least she hopes it sounds that way-reply:]

... Yes. We're both back at home, finally.

Are you doing well, Ami-chan?

Re: [Voice]

[no_use_running]

I'm fine. I'm concerned about you.

Re: [Voice]

[whats_a_sneeze]

Me? Ah, you don't need to worry about me! I'm just a little tired from all that fighting going on; though, I don't even remember most of it, to tell the truth.

[originaljackass]

You holding up fine now? I ain't seen you since we had to haul Arch's sorry ass to the distro-center.

Re: [Voice]

[whats_a_sneeze]

I'm doing fine... [sort of] And you, Jack-san? You didn't run into too much trouble after we'd separated, did you?

[Voice]

[originaljackass]

Oh, plenty. [Some of the very interesting kind.] But I'm all here in one piece.

Re: [Voice]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[She manages a small laugh.]

Nothing the great Jack couldn't handle, right?

[Voice]

[derek_bliss]

Glad to see you're all right.

Re: [Voice]

[whats_a_sneeze]

Oh! Derek, was it?

I'm doing just fine now. A little tired, but I suppose a lot of people are.

[Voice]

[derek_bliss]

Yes, Derek.

You'll probably be tired for a little while; being on a battlefield wears out even people who are used to them. Rest, eat some good food, do something you like to do.

Re: [Voice]

[whats_a_sneeze]

Something I like to do... that's a good idea. I hope the others are keeping themselves occupied, too, then; a lot of them seemed so tired, perhaps it'd do them some good to focus on that sort of thing.

[noprevaricating]

Hello, Sayo.

[whats_a_sneeze]

[Ah.]

...Archie-san. How are you feeling? Better now, I hope?

[noprevaricating]

Much better. You're an excellent surgeon.

[whats_a_sneeze]

Ah, who, me? I'm much more suited to weaving, really! [She chuckles, features softening in relief.] I'm glad to hear you're doing alright. Make sure you rest plenty, all right? Or I'll have to drag you to the clinic myself.
