[tap tap tap. Tap tap tap. The pen is just making dots here.]
...Anise has...followed Natalia. She's gone home.
[now to start hoping no one goes for a voiced reply.You still can of course!
Later on, when she's composed herself enough to be able to face other people, she'll go check on her remaining housemates.]

[Action]
Maybe it's something in his demeanor. Or maybe she's sick of sticking to formalities in this kind of situation.
But soon enough Ion will find himself in a full hug]
[Action]
[But Anise wasn't here anymore.]
[By the time Ion begins to return the hug, Nephry should notice his shoulders shaking as he quietly starts to cry.]
[Action]
Nephry doesn't care if he cries for the next hour. She'll stay.]
[Action]
[He stays rather quiet, only letting out the occasional audible sob for the next half hour or so. At this point, it's not that he managed to calm down; the emotional strain had just built up to a point where he was physically exhausted.]
[It's not until his eyes have dried that he finally speaks up, his voice is calm but very soft.]
Thank you, Nephry.
[Action]
She doesn't feel like she can say anything to that. 'You're welcome' feels too formal and impersonal. 'Thank you' in return probably won't make it past her throat.]
[Action]
[Despite the fact that he's stopped crying, his shoulders are still shaking and his arms are trembling just a bit. There was no way to prepare for something like this... not in Luceti. It was just too much all at once for him to handle, really.]
[Action]
What's wrong? [obviously, aside from the current big issue]
[Action]
...I'm sorry. I- I should probably lay down for awhile.
[Action]
[well Lorelei if he still needs her support he's going to get it.]
[Action]
[He takes a shaky breath to calm himself, but to no avail.]
If it isn't too much to... would you mind helping me back to my room?
[Action]
[feeling his forehead. If he gets sick on top of this it will be unbelievable.]
[Action]
That shouldn't be necessary. I just need to rest for a while.
[Action]
[she stands first, then holds out both of her hands. This way Ion has the option of as much support as he feels he needs.]
[Action]
[Action]
It's only across the hall to his room, at least. He won't be at risk of falling for long. ...Not that we put it past Ion to fall anyway]
[Action]
Thank you, Nephry...
[Action]
[you had better be honest, Fon Master. That tone allows no hedging.]
[Action]
It's true that I've been feeling weaker than usual these past few weeks, but... compared to how my health was back home, this is normal for me.
[Action]
Anise would want to know someone else was looking out for him.]
Is it because you were kidnapped, still? [that seems like a long time to have side effects]
[Action]
[Yes, lying down is a good plan. He'll be doing that now and closing his eyes.]
I just need to take it a little easier from now on. I'll be all right.
[Action]
[She's exaggerating. Ion will know that, of course. ...But some days it does feel like that, living with Dist when he gets into overprotective mode]
When...when dinner is ready later, I'll come and get you.
[Action]
[Still, there's a small attempt at a smile, but it's only for Nephry's sake that he can manage one.] ...thank you.
[Action]
She can manage a smile in return. Even if it makes her tear up again to do so.]
Rest well, Ion.
