[54] [voiced]

[silversnowfall]

I'm...sorry if I've worried anyone.

[Nephry's voice sounds weak and tired, but firm]

I don't suppose it...does me any good to say the situation was out of my hands.

[It takes a little while, but eventually he makes his way into the clinic and spots Nephry.]

Nephry?

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[smile] It's good to see you, Ion.

[Action]

[distressedude]

[Aw, she remembered his name this time!] It's good to see you, as well.

[He takes a moment to find a chair to pull over before taking a seat.] I hope this isn't any trouble... if you start feeling tired, please don't feel the need to keep yourself awake.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

I think I've had quite enough sleep for the time being.

[her right arm is in a tight sling, and she's a little pale, but she looks very awake and aware]

[Action] /wins slowest ever award

[distressedude]

Perhaps I should have brought you something to read to pass the time with.

[Action] /hugs anyway

[silversnowfall]

That's all right. I'm coming back to the house tomorrow.

[Action]

[distressedude]

[Smile.] I'm glad to hear it. The house just doesn't feel the same without you there, Nephry.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

Well, thank you for saying so. Have you and Anise been all right?

[Action]

[distressedude]

We've been well, yes. You know Anise. She's always dependable for situations like this.

[Although he knows she probably wishes she could have been dependable on the battlefield for Nephry's sake, as well.]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

Yes, she is. And so are you.

[nothing could have stopped it from happening, though.]

[Action]

[distressedude]

[A soft laugh.] Perhaps, but Anise still has me beat.

[Even so, that knowledge won't stop wishful thinking.]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[right now she doesn't have a useful reply to that, so she just sits back and keeps quiet]

[Action]

[distressedude]

[Ion does the same, shooting a glance out the window.] ...I hope the sky stays clear for tomorrow as well. I never expected it to snow so much here for how warm the summer had been.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[Nephry smiles, just a little. She always expects piles and piles of snow, naturally.]

I've learned that the weather here can stray from even the most varied of temperate conditions.

[Action]

[distressedude]

[A nod.] Anise warned me about the snow, but I shouldn't have underestimated how cold it would get. If the temperature drops anymore, I may have to start wearing another layer of clothing.

[And he already wears about 5 to go outside.]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

What your clothes are made of matters just as much as how many layers of them you wear. You could get by with fewer, if they were warmer.

[Action]

[distressedude]

I guess I'm not very good at finding my own clothes. I always wore the same type of robes when I lived in Daath, and even those were chosen for me.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

And those aren't suited for winter.

Perhaps Saphir and I could assist you with that?

[Action]

[distressedude]

I wouldn't want to trouble you... [That and the very idea of Dist and Ion going clothes shopping just isn't an easy thing to imagine.]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

If it were trouble, I wouldn't offer.

[Action]

[distressedude]

That's true. And it would be easier if I had someone to help me.

But not until you're well again, of course.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

No, I can't imagine I'd do you much good from here.
