[ Hi, Beau. Otome isn't feeling up to jogging all over the place, but she does feel like she ought to check on Beau, at least. And when she enters the library-- ah. ]
[beau pushes herself up off the couch and wraps her arms around otome - snugly, but not rough, cautious of her injuries. that's her answer - of course it isn't any trouble.]
Week 1, Saturday
... That was a bit of a disaster, wasn't it?
no subject
Yeah, no, disaster is an understatement. How are you doing?
no subject
[ So. About what she would have expected. ]
no subject
[... she offers the flask?]
no subject
[ she takes the flask and tips it back. Don't tell the kids. ]
no subject
Same, girl. [it's absolutely like just straight whiskey, have fun]
no subject
It burns.
And Otome kind of coughs a little, but manages and hands the flask back. ]
Thank you. I think I needed that before I go check on the kids.
no subject
No rest for the doctors, huh. [...] You need any help? I already talked Ichiro and Yamato off the edge tonight, I'm in rare fucking form.
no subject
[ With a very small grimace. ]
no subject
I think - at a certain point, you can't stop them. You just gotta be there for them, instead.
no subject
[ Wearily. ]
Let's do our best to support them.
no subject
Yeah.
... Do you want a hug? [she maybe looks like she could use one]
no subject
Yes, please. If it isn't too much trouble?
no subject
no subject
And Otome kind of sags into it immediately, hugging back just as carefully.
Yeah, she really did need this. ]
no subject
it's like, an automatic move - she reaches and tucks otome's hair behind her ear. and then a bright red flush settles over her nose.]
... I'll be there, tomorrow.
