[weekends are as good a time as any for a not-quite jailbreak, are they not? But it isn't in Nephry's character or best interests to leave the clinic without permission...so she must have it. After all, she's almost halfway back to her own room, walking slowly and a little haltingly, but without stumbling. And she looks very determined, if  a little pale and tired.]

[[ooc: Please do walk by and stop for a chat!]]

[Gelda was actually on her way to the clinic when she spots Nephry heading home. Well, a promise is a promise. She'd be allowed to go home after three days and technically, she's been there for four. Of course, this doesn't mean Gelda can't check up on her former student just in case. This is why she approaches her with a smile.]

Good afternoon, Nephry.

Good afternoon, Professor.

[Nephry still looks tired. Her sleeping hadn't improved, and that fourth day wasn't just to satisfy Gelda]

How are you?

[Gelda notices her exhaustion, of course.]

I'm fine, thank you. I believe a more pressing question, though, is how are you?

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

I'm...managing. [a half-smile, very similar to Jade's] Slowly.

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Any change in your... condition?

[The tone of voice Gelda uses for that last word should be enough for Nephry to know what she's referring to.]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

Unfortunately not.

[convenient bench or some such is way too convenient not to go and sit on]

[Gelda will just remain standing for now.]

I see. Then, perhaps the return to your house will solve the problem.

Suppose it doesn't?

I could try to prescribe a special tea. It works somewhat like a sleeping drug, though the effects aren't quite as strong.

[Rena has definately been on the move today. As she walks past the older woman, she can't help but notice the slow, jerking movements. Being the kind person that she is, Rena is unable to resist calling out for her.]

Uhm...ma'am? Do you need help?

[silversnowfall]

Thank you, but no, I think I'll be all right. ...But I will stop and rest for a while.

[Rena walks over to stand nearby, but doesn't sit just yet]

Uwaaah...you look really tired. Rena doesn't mind helping, she promises.

[silversnowfall]

That's very kind of you.

[flower-of-hell.livejournal.com]

Is something worrying you?

[silversnowfall]

No. I just got out of the clinic, so I'm taking things slowly.

[flower-of-hell.livejournal.com]

The clinic? Were you sick, I wonder?

[silversnowfall]

I'd been...taken away by our captors.

[Jade happens to be standing by a building as Nephry ambles by. He doesn't say a word, but Nephry should notice his presence soon enough.]

[silversnowfall]

[she doesn't even have to look over there]

Good afternoon, Jade.

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

Hello, Nephry. [He's not pleased to see her out and about, really.]

[silversnowfall]

[and yet, he won't actually bring it up]

I'm here with Professor Nebilim's permission.

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

So I see. Not that I'm exactly pleased with her decision.

[silversnowfall]

I wasn't going to stay there forever, Jade. [and he is the one who promised she'd leave when she could]

...But if...if you wouldn't mind...I would appreciate company on the walk back.

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

I hope you're prepared for whatever consequences may arise, then.

...Of course.

[silversnowfall]

There shouldn't be any consequences. ...I'm not so foolish that I think I'm well.
