Congratulations! You survived the first week of Personal Enrichment Class! Or at least, your body did if you feel like astral projecting. It's time to mingle with your fellow students after the Saturday lesson. Maybe get revenge. Or maybe you're going to your room right away. Either way, it's free time! Let loose. Go wild.

Riku...? Did something happen?

( she was just moving to have tea at her desk but oh noooo what's happening... )

[goodfaiths]

...Shizuku, sorry... I don't want you to see me like this.

[ He'll at least sit up, though when he shifts his leg a certain way, he winces. And it's not because of the fish slippers... ]

I'll be okay.

[cheerfuldays]

You aren't right now, though. The present is just as important as the future... come here, sit on the couch. I made some tea.

( gently tugging him, up, up!! )

--Ah, do you need any pain killers...?

[goodfaiths]

Okay.

[ He rises to his feet and hobbles a little due to his "injury", but he ends up sitting on the couch next to Shizuku and puts his hands in his lap. ]

It's okay. I've been through a lot worse. ... You're lucky that you have a partner as kind as Madara-san, though he's lucky to have you, too. I'm a little jealous.

( not how this is happening after the big conversation where madara tried to argue he's a bad partner...

shizuku inhales a little, relieved that at least madara had heard her out. maybe their talk didn't change much and he's just humoring her, but at least they were able to have it. )

... I am lucky, yes. Madara's treated me very well. I want to do the same for him... I'm sorry you don't seem to have that. But he and I will always be there for you, you know? We have to stick together.

( as she speaks, she slides some tea his way. drink, my child. it is good for the soul.


even though he is definitely the older one here. )
