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~]]

Will you be able to behave yourself?

[that probably came out harsher than intended because she's just not in the mood for proper teasing]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

You know I can.

[He doesn't let it phase him. He knows she isn't 100% right now.]

[silversnowfall]

...My apologies, Your Majesty.

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

There's nothing to apologize for.

[He's currently doing some stuff around town, but-]

I'll come see you later, if that's all right.

[silversnowfall]

You do live here.

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

Just asking permission.

[silversnowfall]

You know you just have to knock.

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

Well, now you know I'm coming in advance.

[silversnowfall]

[makes some sort of noise of acknowledgment and goes back to organizing something or other. And then she'll have that thread down there with Emil]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[And some time later there'll be a knock on her door.]

[silversnowfall]

[oh. It's either Anise or Peony, she'd better get her composure back.]

Come in. [...nope. It took just saying that, no matter who it is at the door. When he comes in, she'll be busy with a tissue]

[enrappigtured.livejournal.com]

[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.
