[21][written/action]

[first of all, there are several inconsequential doodles. This should be concerning because Nephry just doesn't doodle. Next there are several sentences that are so well crossed out they are unreadable. An ink spot where the pen rested too long on the page. A few more doodles.]

I...think I should go for a walk. I will take my journal with me just in case, however.

[and for those out and about, Nephry can be found standing on the bridge between houses 32 and 33 and Community Housing 5. It is quite the long walk, and it will continue in a short while if she's not interrupted. She will answer written or voiced messages too, of course. ...The doodling is kind of a giveaway that something is wrong here]

[the blue beacon is easy to follow. But she's a little suspicious of his sudden insistence on going inside]

[Well, it's cold out, and she doesn't seem to be in the best of health right now.]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[she doesn't think he knows that. She's keeping up with his pace at least?]

[Action]

[lezareno_prez]

[Nephry, you look like you haven't slept well in days. You'd have to be blind not to notice.]

[emp3thy]

It's getting late, Nephry-san.

[this is turning into quite the long short walk. At least she hasn't stopped again. She ended up on that first bridge when her thoughts just got ahead of her feet]

[silversnowfall]

Hm? ...Oh, I suppose it is.

[glances down the path that leads allll the way back to house 1]

[emp3thy]

I can walk you home.

[silversnowfall]

[being walked home by a teenager seems...]

There's no need for you to go out of your way unnecessarily.

[emp3thy]

I don't mind.

[silversnowfall]

Very well then.

[emp3thy]

[And he moves away from the railing, putting his hands back in his pockets.]

[Sorry Nephry, but at least you'll probably get tea and something to eat out of it? Regal and Gelda like to spoil their guests, after all.]

[it might just be worth it, then. Just before the house, a stone or something like it in the road makes her trip and drop her journal. Sigh. At least she didn't end up on the ground]

[Action]

[lezareno_prez]

[At the sound of the journal hitting the ground, Regal turns around to see what just happened. While he's pleased she's still on her feet, he's still worried.]

Are you all right?

[silversnowfall]

[and she moves away too, starting to walk. It's up to Minato to talk now if there's anything he wants said]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

I'm fine. I tripped on something in the road.

[picking up the journal and catching up with him]

[Well, now he's standing next to her.]

...You know how they are.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[a beat, and she looks at him halfway]

I might, if I knew who they are.

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

Don't play coy with me, Nephry.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[it's amazing that he thinks she has the energy to play anything. Almost as a second thought she folds her hands together and looks back at the water again]

There are many people you could mean.

[Action]

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

You say that as if there are many people I would honestly be concerned with.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[don't play coy with her. She knows that on her behalf he could be concerned with just about anyone for a few minutes. She just hasn't been able to use that to her advantage yet]

Then I'm not sure what it is you want me to say.

[Action]

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

....I am referring to Dist and His Majesty.

[silversnowfall]

What makes you think my going for a walk has anything to do with them?
