[ there's a moment of silence, debating on it. she thinks on Steel's advice and for a moment just offers no immediate reply.
however, once she feels she's ready, she talks again. ] It was... a bit strange, at first. We appeared in rooms and ended up on.. a stage? We had to... sing to a crowd, then play instruments and dance for a different crowd. [ ???] And then.. act out a script..?
[ it sounds like a lucid dream i'm crying. but this part is at least easy for her to talk about ]

... We were, emotionally bonded with the swords we had there. We felt, everything they did. And they us. I'm.. it's still a lot to wrap my head around..
[ so, she.. really did get roughed more than just the physical injuries sense. ] I- I saw Bass there, too..? Is.. Is he okay, do you know..?

I guess we're in the same boat in that way, at least.
[GET IN THE POD SHINJION
She's silent for a moment, a complicated mess of emotions rattling in her skull. And then, quietly:]
... Who decides what's viable, anyway?
[The ancients are about to catch these hands.
Nogiku takes one of the blankets Itsuki handed out, anyway, and holds it out to her.]
It's okay. You don't owe me any apologies. Whatever time you need to process things... it's yours.

[Ain't that a fucking mood.]
Not like anyone has remembered to bring some before...
[Or at least, no one has been thoughtful enough to do so in her curfews. She shoots a glance in Meteion's direction, frowning.]
... Make sure to offer her the nicest ones. And any extras.

About what exactly? Putting it to words may help.
What we will wake up to find tomorrow, mostly.
[the vibes... they worsen...]
[the vibes... they worsen...]
And if you wake up, and the worst has happened, what will you plan to do? I find it easier to thing of things in this way. Instead of allowing myself to imagine the possibilities, I will strategize about the ways in which I may act.
Alright.
[ she seems like she isn't quite sure what to do with appreciation - but seems relieved that meteion doesn't seem worse off after having spoken to her? mortal hearts are forever hard to understand. ]
For now you are here, and are alive. And that must surely count for something.

I can't say I would call a house arrest tranquil... [A beat.] Minus the house, that is.
[Because. They are still homeless? She shakes her head, anyway.]
... We'll tackle things as they came. Whether that means dealing with the aftermath, or... facing a friend who has lost themselves to a refraction. Just worry about yourselves, first.

If only to stave off the concerns. I will tell them Nogiku has provided me with great care.
[ sometimes you're just an empath bird with a lot of Feelings cause you're created from emotions ]
..It does. [ it truly does. she's still... here. despite what happened, and there's gratitude there at that thought. but for now, she wants to not think about that.. mission, for a bit. ] Are you... liking the cafe, Steel?

[ NOGIKU... Meteion just, genuinely looks surprised in her direction. not that it's bad, she was just taken aback? but. that they would react like this, in her stead. she feels appreciation, and.. some fond. ]
..Thank you, Nogiku. [ she gently takes the blanket, holding it in her hands where some scrapes and cuts can be seen. but it's okay. she's slightly better than before. ]
I already spoke most of, what happened with Su Jiuqing so I think... I'll be okay, it's just. ..Death was.. a lot different than I, expected it to be. I don't think I was.. really prepared for it. Much less.. two times..
[ sometimes you just die twice? ]

Thank goodness.. [ oh, that's a feeling of relief. good. she's genuinely relieved for that. that's one less worry on her mind. ]
The way they are, created... feels really familiar, to me. So, it wasn't too... wrong. It's just. [ frowns a little more. ] I.. don't think I was meant for war. It's, in my system that I just.. run away at confrontation.
[ alas.. but, she seems to be able to breathe a bit easier, taking in Shale's calmness onto herself. ]

[ she's not great at emotions but she's good at picking up when someone wants to avoid something, so. taking the cue. ]
It is actually rather nice. I enjoy the variety of drinks, and the pastries are interesting. Many are not familiar to me - something known as a "bear claw"? I suppose it does resemble the claw of a bear in a way. The lobster tails I have encountered in my life are rarely filled with cream however.

[ a bit… ]
Meteion… we’ll go back to the Medbay tomorrow. You probably need a little longer in there. [ AGAIN she says… ]
You’re back though. Good job. Even if you don’t think it was, you made it back.

From bad to worse isn’t a metric I like the sound of.
[ a little salute. ]
Thanks. I’m no expert but… luckily for everyone it’s hard to mess it up. [ … ] Riff… Rindo? Riff mentioned that you all had access to a lot of places before they opened up to us. Was the cafe one you never really visited?

But that's what's happening.
[well, until next week!!]
Ever since Mu-kun turned into that animal... It's like something shifted.
