[if april showers bring may flowers, then july showers bring. . .?]
Who: everyone!
When: July 31st throughout the day
Where: outside, but also wherever you want to be!
What: a general all-purpose mingle with flavor
Warnings: nada
[Today, for the first time since your arrival, dark and angry clouds gather in the sky above to block out the sun. It is sweltering outside, so when those clouds eventually open up in the early afternoon, showering everyone with cool rain, rolling thunder, and a few flashes of lightning. . . it probably feels good!]
[It seems to be normal rain, for the most part. Look at it from the wrong angle and some if it may seem to be tinted red, like blood. And sometimes, when a drop spatters against the ground, a spider lily suddenly blossoms in its place. The flower dies almost immediately upon springing to life, its petals dissolving into dust that is quickly washed away by the rest of the water]

[. . . things have been awfully quiet since your arrival. It feels almost a bit like the calm before the storm, doesn't it? Are you still waiting for that other shoe to drop. . .?]
[What else are you up to today!]

Still, she walks back with him, staying near at hand in case he needs to lean on her or if he loses his balance. She can tell from how he's walking that he's in a decent amount of pain, but there isn't much she can do for him here and now. ]
... But it's probably not the best way if you're going to end up hurt like this. [ She clicks her tongue and shakes her head. ] You could have asked one of us, you know. I'm a martial artist and would be happy to train with you regularly.

He bows his head, obviously embarrassed but also wrestling with a fair bit of shame as well. Shame not only for getting hurt, but also failing to rely on his housemates... even if his reasons were based in consideration and not disrespect for their skills.]
I... realize this. Please understand, it is not a lack of willingness that I did not ask for your aid in this matter. Only that I keep such inhospitable hours that it felt rude to demand your time while you are likely already preparing for bed.
Or worse, those times where I wake in the dead of night and I cannot rest until I've exhausted myself... surely waking you is out of the question.
no subject
... First of all, it's not like there's much going on here. Even if you train at odd hours, I'm sure there will be someone else on Kenkou who could help you, myself included.
[ She understands if he doesn't want to wake them, though. Tifa frowns as she realizes that she'd heard some movement in the middle of the night before, though had drifted back to sleep before figuring out what it was. ]
Well, I'm glad the odd noises I heard in the night were you and not a ghost. [ She manages a brief laugh there in hopes of helping him lighten up a little. ] ... Still, venturing out when it's that late is dangerous. We need a better solution.
[ "We," because yes, they're a team!! ]
no subject
[Distantly: he hopes none of those noises were him talking in his sleep. Or worse, screaming.
...He really hopes his ghosts don't bother anyone else. They don't deserve that.]
I can accept that I perhaps put myself in unnecessary risk, but if the solution is harrying the rest of our house while they are resting, I truly cannot abide by that.
no subject
Well, how often would you say this happens?
[ If nothing else, at least they're nearing the front of the school. Tifa's doing her best to set the pace slow, so he doesn't feel like he has to push himself. ]
no subject
[He grimaces uncomfortably, more for the embarrassment than the pain in his ribs. Honestly he wouldn't mind picking up the pace if it meant he could be left to perish sooner.]
...More nights than not.
no subject
... Hmm. [ While a few of them could trade off in being the one to be woken by him, everyone would have to agree to that. Somehow, Tifa thinks that those in their group who can spar with Azure would be willing to do so, but she can understand why he'd be worried about imposing so much. ] If you're waking up that often, maybe we should look into methods to help you sleep through the night, then.
no subject
I doubt any will be effective. I have lived this way for years now.

At some point the nurse's office might open up. If we get that lucky, we can see what they have. But who knows? There might be people here who have spells to help with sleep, too.
[ She isn't just going to let this go! ]
