[It's been a quite some time since Anise's rescue from the Malnosso facility. She spent most of the past few days recovering and is only now just beginning to feel better. She's not allowed out of the house (or her room, or her bed) just yet, though. And as much as she knows how important rest is,

[Action] I'm never here when stuff happens fffff

[soreplaceable]

[Meanwhile, a certain Fon Master is sleeping on a small make-shift cot just a few feet away as if he'd even think of leaving Anise's side these past few days. Thankfully, he sleeps like a rock, so Anise's talking and giggling over the journals doesn't wake him up.]

[However, accidentally rolling off of the cot and onto the ground does! There's a rather graceful yelp as he flails and falls into a pile with the blankets on top of him. Moments later, he sits up and quickly looks over at Anise to see if he woke her up... only to find her already awake.]

A-Ah, Anise! Good mor- [Oh wait, it's dark outside.] -er, evening.

[Action] ffff that's ok ilu anyway <3

[galddigger]

[She'd actually been trying to stay as quiet as possible, and Ion does sleep like a log so she hoped that he wouldn't wake up! Alas.]

O-oh, Ion! Did I wake you? Sorry! I'll be more quiet!

[Action]

[soreplaceable]

[Ion shakes his head and pulls himself to his feet before sitting back down on the cot.] Don't worry about it. I'm pretty sure I woke myself up.

[A smile.] How are you feeling?

[Action]

[galddigger]

[Oh Ion. She smiles right back.]

Better, thanks. I just haven't been able to get any sleep tonight.

[Action]

[soreplaceable]

I guess that makes sense, since you've been sleeping all day... [He yawns but tries to shake it off. He'd much rather talk to Anise than sleep right now!] I'm glad you're feeling better though.

[Action]

[galddigger]

[Oh Ion, you shouldn't be up if you're sleepy! :(]

Me too. I just wanna get out of the house, though! I hate being stuck in bed.

[Action]

[galddigger]

But I've been resting all day for the past week. I think I'm all rested out.

[Action]

[soreplaceable]

I know, but... [A pause. He just can't stop seeing her in that cell, too weak to even stand.] ...I know.

Maybe if the weather is nice, we can go for a walk tomorrow? [A short one. :|]

[Action]

[galddigger]

[A walk is a walk! As long as she gets out of the house, she'll be happy.]

Okay. Hopefully Nephry'll be okay with it.

[Action]

[soreplaceable]

I'm sure she will. And besides, I'll be with you in case anything happens... [He trails off for a second, realizing that probably sounded a little more serious than he was aiming for.]

Ah, I mean... if you get tired and need someone to lean on for the walk back.

[Although he'd be lying if he said he wasn't also still paranoid about Anise being kidnapped again.]

[Action]

[galddigger]

[Oh, she totally caught that slip.]

Oh, Ion... Nothing's gonna happen, okay? I promise. [Pauses. She wishes she could honestly say that. But as it is, that's as good as she can say.]

[Action]

[soreplaceable]

...that's not a very easy promise to keep, in a place like this.

[Action]

[galddigger]

... I know, I know. [Sigh.] Sorry.

[Action]

[soreplaceable]

[He shakes his head.] It's not something you have to apologize for, Anise. It's not your fault they... that this place...!

[He grips the edge of his night-shirt in his hands tightly. Unable to complete that sentence, he sighs softly and simply repeats:] ...it's not your fault.

[Action]

[galddigger]

[Oh, Ion. Anise is silent a few moments, before scrambling out of bed to sit on the cot set up on the floor, right beside Ion.]
