[ Shinobu is taking some time to collect herself after the execution. This is for several reasons, but one reason stands out among the rest.
She's lying on her bed in the cottage with her arm over her eyes. It almost looks like she's sleeping, but when she sees someone enter, she moves her arm immediately and opens her eyes to see Faldeus. ]
[ after the execution, faldeus was... wandering. after such a scene, the least that he could do was deal with his jumbled thoughts...and other things, as well. but even a walk down the idyllic little town does nothing to calm the mind after everything they saw.
he acknowledges shinobu's greeting with a small nod of his own, sitting at the foot of his own bed. ]

[ Said with some modicum of exasperation. ]
I might as well cut to the chase, though. Those roots from earlier...they did something to me. To us, probably.

when he gets there, and sees shinobu... ]
Um... how are you feeling?
no subject
But...she remembers that he offered her tea, so she relaxes a little. ]
Better, thanks to you.
[ She sighs heavily. ]
... Rough one today, wasn't it?

[ he slumps his shoulders a little, setting the bottle of beer down. ]
I would have brought you some, but with what you had...I didn't want to risk it.
no subject
[ She looks at the beer. Yeah, she would drink one if she weren't. Sleeping pilled up. ]
Rain check on the beer, then? I'd gladly have one if not for that water.

[ It never does. Even if Sora kinda deserved it, it didn't feel great to watch.
She runs a hand through her hair. ]
I just want this whole thing to be over.

[ She stifles a yawn. Sorry, Faldeus, it's the sleep meds. ]

[ he smiles fondly at the memory, sitting down on the edge of his bed. ]
But it was a bit stressful when I left. So who knows what sort of situation I'll be going back to.
no subject
[ She tilts her head, curious. ]
What happened before you came here?
no subject
[ and, with a sarcastic smile and a casual tone: ]
The annihilation of my city, for starters.
