Reeve watches her go past from his position. Another month, another upset girl. He gives another one of his sighs and leans back, looking at the sky.

"...a deliberate attempt?"
Nyl stood off in the forest, staring up into the branches of a tree. She had known when to leave well enough alone, and a rising feeling of unease had propelled her as far from the dojo as she could get, quickly. Now, she stared into the darkness above her and carried on a conversation.
"I can't say. It's...impossible to tell."
"...I come all the way out here and these are the answers you have?"
"You know if I had any better ones, I'd share them."
Nyl turned and leaned against the tree, looking off in a different direction.
"But you know...there's a kind of pattern to it."
"I don't know what else to tell you. You could always come back, talk it over..."
"Just send my regards, then. It's a long trip to make so many times, after all. ...I can't just up and leave whenever I feel like it."
The half-shadowed owner of the second voice disappeared. Nyl sank to the ground, now well lost in thought.
So troublesome...

Reeve hasn't really moved all day, lingering in the courtyard. He boredly arcs electricity from his fingertips.

Fenris slipped out of the kitchen slowly. She felt much better now. She had a bowl of ramen she had made up to eat and was quite happy with the taste! Cajun Chicken. She slipped out onto the porch and stared out at the forest blankly. There was a very visible difference; her eyes were no longer gray, but they seemed to radiate all the colors, like Tutsumi's did.

Reeve heads inside as it starts to rain out. He ducks in the kitchen door, shaking his hair free of water in a very feral way.

Fenris sat down on one of the chairs, munching away happily at her ramen. Before this he stomach was empty, so it felt very relieving.

Reeve emerges on the porch, a mug of chicory in hand.
" Hey there. You look a lot better."

"Huh? Uh... oh... Thanks." She looked down at her ramen, her eyes narrowing a bit. Now that she could think properly, she didn't feel right around him. She was still hurt because of him.

Reeve sighs, taking a sip of his chicory.
" You...want I should go?"

"It's fine..." She put her bowl to the side and crossed her leg on the chair. She looked out at the rain quietly, hands in her lap. Her skin was no longer pale. In fact it was more pink and rosy now. Her forehead had the faint sign of a scar as well. "Reeve... thank you... for earlier."

Reeve shakes his head, looking at her, then down into his cup.
" Thank me when I do something useful..."

"I see... my life doesn't mean s**t to you then..." She looked to him with a strange look, then grabbed her bowl and stood up, heading off into the rain. "Then why did you help me if I mean nothing?"

"At what point did I ever say that?"
Reeve fixes her with a contempt-laden stare.
" All I meant was all I did was carry you inside."

"But if you hadn't, no one else would have noticed until it was too late, Reeve." She sighed and shook her head. "A play is not full with just the leads, but the chorus as well."

"Well, it's nothing that someone else couldn't have done," he says, taking another sip. "Faggeddabowdit."
