Seph climbed the stairs and walked inside, making his way into the kitchen. He stretched and looked back in the fridge.
Don't send my food flying this time.
Shut up.

~You don't have to be mean to it. Besides, it wouldn't grow back the same a second time.~
Are you trying for irony today, or are you just lucky?
~I wanted to thank you.~

Seph whistled a bit, fixing another sandwhich.
I know what you're thinking.
"Oh, really?"
Yep. You weren't expecting that conversation. You were expecting another one, weren't you?
Seph grinned a bit. "Yeah, I guess you're right. My heart skipped a beat there, y'know?"
Yes, I know.

~For keeping my secret a secret. More than once I was grateful you had, and I kept reminding myself...to thank you. ...And for those roses, though that was a while ago. Do you know they never burn out?~

Do you know they never burn out?~ ~ You don't need to thank me. I only did what you expected. And as for the roses...that was the point. I wanted you to have something bright and beautiful to look at while you recovered, and even after. Though...you probably shouldn't let Amae know you've gotten roses already...~

~Oh...oh. He was talking about me?~
What did you come back to?
~And he still isn't back yet?~

Nyl raised one eyebrow, retreating silently away from the edge of the roof. She shook her head, looking up toward the sky.

Seph tossed the desposable plate in the garbagecan, then slipped back outside. The rain had stopped, but everything was soaked through. He stood at the top of the stairs, gazing out. The clouds had cleared since the rain had stopped, and the moon shown down.
