post palace hot pot party (week 7)

[townmusician]

[Yoon's Palace has faded away, but the fact the God of Conflict decided to show up and intervene again...

Well, that's! Not a good sign! To say the least! But there's nothing to be done about that right now, and Haruka isn't of the mind to really sit and wonder about divine conflicts and grandstanding and all of that, anyways. It's not his problem. The people who deal with that sort of thing on the regular can be in charge of all of that.

What he's in charge of (by virtue of being annoying) is... hot pot. Specifically rounding up everyone and dragging them out to a hot pot restaurant in the city.

He'll miss having money but... he'll just have to work hard to earn it back... Have fun, everyone. (Or maybe he can find a way to charge Mina for this?)]

[Fray is only in here for a little bit, both because he doesn't remove his helmet around everyone and thus would just be sitting here awkwardly and because he's Fray, he doesn't really tend to hang out with everyone very often. He can't hold up the walls here without looking even more out of place than usual!!

But he's here for now, and he approaches Sayaka with one very pressing question in mind:]

How is your leg doing?

[Don't think he missed all of that!!]

[destage]

[Sayaka is honestly surprised Fray's here, all considered, but she finds herself smiling all the same. Ever their silent, protective and reliable guardian--she's honestly considering asking the staff if she can take something home so Fray can enjoy some too, but...

Fray cuts to the heart of the matter quickly, and Sayaka nods her head.]

It's doing better than I thought it would--everyone's healing helped it from getting worse or bleeding too much, even if it still kind of aches a bit. I don't think anything's going to take that away but time, but...

I'll make sure that I get some rest. Um. If I forget, can you remind me to call Cafe au Lait tonight? I should probably let them know.

[Sayaka's going to take a sip of some tea, after that's said, though.]

And you? Not your leg, but...how are you doing, Fray?

[bloodweapon]

[Fray nods at that. He did see that plenty of healing spells were used on her, but sometimes that isn't enough to fully heal injuries. It seems that she's at least able to move about somewhat well.]

Of course. Best to let them know just in case.

[That she "strained" her leg, anyway. He doubts she'd tell them she was stabbed in the leg.

The question gets his eyes to dart for a split-second before he corrects it, though his voice betrays nothing.]

I'm fine. Today was a long day; we all should get a good night's sleep after this.

[destage]

[(roll perception: 20)

Sayaka definitely didn't miss the eye darting there, though her brows knit very minorly. Something must be on his mind, and she really can't help but worry. She wants to know. She wants to help, but...]

I definitely will. And...I can certainly agree with that! I imagine we're all tired out today. Does that mean you might turn in early tonight?

[It's absolutely gentle teasing, just very minor, but she's keeping an eye on him. She doesn't know if he wants to talk here or if private would be better, but she is keeping an eye on him. ...He might be even able to tell that she's giving him that sort of analytical stare, she promises it's not on purpose--]

[bloodweapon]

[...she's totally perceiving him, isn't she. Ughhhh, don't do that...]

That's correct. I thought it best to let you know before I depart.

[In other words, yeah, he'd rather have this discussion in private.]

Take your time here with the others; enjoy yourselves. You all deserve it.

[But don't you dare rush back to the dorm on his account!!]

[destage]

[Sayaka's gaze stops with it's almost piercing quality, seeming satisfied, and she nods rather resolutely at him there. Perception's not good without the need to exercise discretion, after all.]

It's okay. I imagine you need some rest too after everything we've dealt with today, right? So don't worry too much.

[Sayaka beams brightly at him.]

We will gladly, though. After everything that's happened today, we should celebrate our triumph over that jerk. Make sure you get some rest too, okay?

[bloodweapon]

I will, certainly. I'll see you later, Sayaka.

[Hopefully it isn't too weird to hear that name with the others around...? Well, time for her to see if she's fine with it!! Anyway, Fray's off, catch ya later.]

[destage]

You take care, Fray. See you!

[...

She's surprised by how little that actually sets off any hackles. Huh. She did make the right decision in telling Fray he could use her first name in public. It's nice.

Still, she will gladly enjoy herself until she gets home! You take care Fray.]
