[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.]

To be safe, I may have to place you under my watch until you are well, Nephry.

[silversnowfall]

I do plan on resting once I get to my room, Jade.

[but there isn't objection in her tone. It's more like resignation. Or acceptance]

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

His Majesty asked me to keep watch over you in my room. I would hate to defy his orders.

[silversnowfall]

He...did?

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

He did.

[silversnowfall]

...Who am I to cross the will of the Emperor?

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

He'd be very upset if you did.

[silversnowfall]

I won't. ...But is there even room?

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

There's plenty of room.

[silversnowfall]

All right. ...We might as well go, then.

[she doesn't want to ask this] ...I need help getting back up.

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

[He offers her his hand.]

[silversnowfall]

[takes it and pulls herself up again] Thank you.

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

Shall we depart, then?

[silversnowfall]

Yes. [it's more stairs to his room, she's pretty sure. But she'll cross that bridge when she gets there]

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

[Ahh, yes. Stairs are such fun, aren't they?]

[silversnowfall]

[she hadn't counted on being this tired, and she'll stumble at the entrance to the community building]

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

[Aaaaaand catch.]

[silversnowfall]

Oh...thank you, Jade. [a smile. Directed at him] I'm just tired.

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

It would be best to get you upstairs as soon as possible.

If only this building had an elevator.

[silversnowfall]

If only you lived on a lower floor. [but she takes a breath and gathers herself] I'll be fine.

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, it was one of the few rooms available at the time.

[silversnowfall]

I understand.

[she's determined to make it up these stairs, even if it takes a while]

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

[Well, he'll be walking alongside her, making sure nothing happens.]

[silversnowfall]

[at the top of the third flight, she stops, one hand around the rail. He'll only know she's having trouble if he notes how tightly she's gripping it]

...I...I think I need something to hold onto.
