First Luke, then Jade, and now Saphir...it's disconcerting, to say the least.

I apologize for my delay in helping to arrange the meeting we've been discussing. I have no excuses, and my only explanation is that I was quite distracted.

That said, would this coming Friday work for everyone?

[[ooc: Just to clarify, that's an IC check for availability, and this concerns anyone involved in the discussion about the clinic/how to expand it/make it generally more efficient. It doesn't actually matter whether you are OOC available on Friday, no worries~]]

Well, yeah.

Those of us who want to go back should. You, and His Majesty. You're both needed.

[silversnowfall]

You do not want to return?

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Not particularly.

Not yet, anyway.

[silversnowfall]

May I ask why?

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

I like it here.

[silversnowfall]

[that is something totally incomprehensible for her]

You do?

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. Experimentation and danger aside.

[silversnowfall]

...I'm afraid I'm finding this very hard to understand.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

I'm meeting new people, I get my own bar to run. What's there not to enjoy?

I mean, I can understand why some people couldn't, but I do. That's all.

[He opens the door, peering into the room concernedly.]

Nephry?

[silversnowfall]

[Oh, it's Peony. She wipes her eyes quickly and tries to look at him with a calm expression]

Yes?

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't fool him, and he crosses the room to her side.]

What's wrong?

[silversnowfall]

[sigh. She can never fool anyone who's known her for long]

I suppose I've reached the point where it's too much to deal with.

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[She obviously wasn't fine earlier, but right now, she isn't even trying to hide it. Something must have happened.]

Nonsense. You're Nephry. You can deal with anything.

[silversnowfall]

I'm flattered. But it's not true.

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[Well, she's one of the strongest people he knows. She has to be, with Jade as a brother.]

Do you want to tell me about it?

[silversnowfall]

I believe I've said more than enough for one day.

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[He places a hand on her shoulder.]

You haven't said anything yet.

[silversnowfall]

Maybe not to you.

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[silversnowfall]

...Emil didn't know that Luke was gone.

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

And you're the one who told him about it?

[silversnowfall]

If I had known...I would have done it differently.

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[Everything is clearer now.]

Of course. And you couldn't have known.

[silversnowfall]

[this is stacking on top of her own issues with losing two friends and one bothersome brother in the span of a week or so. So that's not the point, Peony]
