[Action]

[Due to a variety of reasons, Raine hadn't been out and about the village for a few days, as was noted by how she was absent on the last two days of school. Of course, something like that can't last when you're the only one cooking in the household and the food supply is decreasing quicker than normal

[Simon's been checking out the Malnosso tunnels recently, so he's just climbing up, goggles on, looking dusty and smudged with dirt, as Raine passes by. He spots her almost immediately, eyes widening.] Miss Raine!

[wise_maiden]

[At hearing his voice, she turns her attention toward him.] Ah... Simon, hello. Keeping yourself busy?

[dawndigger]

A little. When school's done, it's harder to find things to do. [He tries (and fails miserably) to look halfway presentable before giving up. Sometimes you just have to live with dirt.] Are you okay? You haven't been around much.

[It isn't said like an accusation, though. He's mostly just curious.]

[wise_maiden]

I'm certain you'll find ways to keep yourself entertained before long. Though if you like, tutoring lessons can probably be arranged for you. [With a new tutor, since Genis is gone.]

Yes, I'm fine. Unfortunately I can only be in so many places at once...

[dawndigger]

I'll think about it. [He's still missing Genis - though not as much as her, he assumes - so the thought of replacing him feels wrong.] Oh, so you've been really busy. That's better than being sick or something, at least.

Yes... there's just been a lot to do this week. I wasn't intending to miss the end of school, but sometimes things just happen. How did it all go?

[dawndigger]

I think it went okay. Everybody had fun, anyway.

[wise_maiden]

I'm glad to hear that.
