( since getting back to the dorms, snowdrop doesn't... really rest that much, not really. she allowed herself a brief nap after they first returned from the nurse's office, but otherwise she's put herself pretty much on-call for tiger lily.

sometimes she steps out and returns with small stacks of bento boxes, though the seasoning is at risk of being... off, sometimes a little too much or a little too little? can't imagine why.

otherwise she's trying to tend to everything while the rest recover, but that can lead to finding snowdrop curled up on the couch, asleep, a gentle melody playing on her phone. )

[it's an odd inversion of events, her passed out on the couch this time. lowering himself to sit in the ground is a difficult prospect though, even with the crutches she got for him - he ends up sitting on the armrest, which is comfortable enough for him.

he just wants to listen to the song playing a little longer... where it was coming from, he couldn't say. but it was rather nice.

maybe he'll stay and eat a bento, read a book.]

[THANK THE GODDESS DIMITRI HAS CRUTCHES. it means he doesn't have to be stuck in bed all day again!

today's venture: the greenhouse. he returns with many sprigs of aloe vera leaves.

not taking a rest, he heads immediately to the kitchenette to grab their sharpest kitchen knife in order to cut the skin from the leaves with the precision of a hunter, skinning his prey.]

It's fortunate we had these in the greenhouse. If they have the same properties as the alloeh plant from Almyra, then its gel should be useful for treating the skin.

[Hey, Kenkou friends.

Probably unsurprisingly, someone is here to harass you all. Knock knock!

And, through the door as she knocks, impatient:]

It's Botan. This is a welfare check. Also, I don't want Azure-kun standing up and answering this door.

[frostfight]

[ knock knock knock kenkou ]

Hello? It's Chai, from Anzen.

[ he brought food! he has a plate of simple sandwiches and some sliced fruit in one hand. ]

[beathollow]

( snowdrop is still when she sleeps- small, only moving when she breathes. but eventually she stirs, mumbling something as she shifts a bit. slowly, she sits up, rubbing her eyes. )

...

Azure? 'm sorry, was I in the way?

( she's the worst??? oh no- )

[beathollow]

( botannnn...

she is opening the door don't worry. there's a certain air to her that screams "just woke up from a nap" though. and her hair's a bit mussed.

wild. this would never pass at home. )

Hello. C'mon in...

[brokenlance]

Not at all. Actually, I find it easier to rest here. It makes getting up significantly easier on my good leg.

[this is actually truth. though he's also clearly trying to put a positive spin on things for her sake.

nom nom bento]

[beathollow]

( --chai? not a name she recognizes...

she'll still get the door, of course. especially since she's one of the only ones who can, currently. )

--Oh! Hello again. Come on in.

[beathollow]

That makes sense, since you're so tall.

( she has almost no filter in general, but it's worse now... snowdrop adjusts herself a bit better before reaching over for her phone to check the battery. ... so far, so good. she's been conservative with it. )

How are you feeling...?

[frostfight]

Oh! Hi there. You got your voice back!

[ He steps inside. ]

I wasn't sure how you all were doing, so I brought some snacks.

[beathollow]

Yes, it only seemed to last the week... Its a relief, I was getting very tired of everything, and I couldn't communicate during the "test of courage".

( she'll step aside and close the door behind him. there's not a lot different in kenkou than in anzen, not really. )

I think we're doing a bit better, but mostly it feels like we're just resting. Its very appreciated though, thank you.

[suplexer]

[ Tifa also isn't really in a position to get the door, so that will be left to Snowdrop.

She's seated on the couch with her legs spread in front of her, either onto the sectional part or onto a chair. She's also got a little tray in her lap to hold food and drinks, as needed.

Both her arms are bandaged now, tucked in close against her sides. ]

... Hey, Botan.

[suplexer]

[ As he might have guessed, Tifa's laid out on the couch. She's sitting up, though, leaned against the couch's back with her legs stretched out straight in front of her. (Is the couch a sectional... If not they're on a chair or something.)

And! There's a little tray of some sort over her lap, precisely for the purpose of making eating a bit easier. ]

Oh! Hi, Chai.

[ Both her arms are tightly and cleanly bandaged right now. She seems to be doing as best she can, given the circumstances. ]

[frostfight]

[ Yeah, he had a feeling that most of the dorms are similar, if not identical. ]

Of course. It's thanks to you guys that the kitchen is open in the first place. This is the least I can do.

How's everyone holding up?

[selfportraiture]

[... Ouch. What a mess.

Ena meanders closer, one hand on her hip.]

Hey. I wanted to see how you guys were doing and if you needed anything.

[She doesn't want to leave all of the caretaking on Mafuyu's plate.]

[selfportraiture]

[... Whoa.

Ena's seen Mafuyu first thing in the morning before, and yet she still feels like she's never quite seen her like this.

This is... a good thing. This is a very good thing, despite the rest of the shittiness of the situation.]

Yeah, thanks. I promised I'd help out, so here I am. [to do more helping.] I didn't wake you up, did I?

[selfportraiture]

[yeah you'd better be sitting down, Mister.

Once she's inside:]

Oh, there you are. How's the leg?

[frostfight]

Hey there. You seem to be doing a bit better.

[ Assuming there's some sort of coffee table or something, he sets his plate down. ]

How's it going?

[suplexer]

[ Understandable. Snowdrop seems to want to help and she feels better when she can help, but between Tifa and Azure, it's... a lot. Especially since Azure is actually even worse than Tifa at accepting help. ]

... If you can manage some regular food deliveries from the cafeteria, that would probably be a big help.

[ Snowdrop's been helping her with the more embarrassing stuff she can't do right now: changing her clothes, and sometimes even eating. Tifa isn't sure she can ask someone who isn't a direct teammate for that kind of stuff... ]

[selfportraiture]

Oh, sure. That's easy enough. I'll see if Rose wants to help out.

[as her bodyguard--]

Any preferences on food? With the caveat that I'm not much of a cook, so I'll probably just be grabbing whatever's available.

[beathollow]

( sometimes going through the horrors has its benefits. )

No, I woke up a few minutes ago. Good timing.

[aono]

[Knock knock

He brought a treat with him.]

[mogger]

[ knock knock, she's also here to visit ]
