[Voice - Action for the Koumyou] Guess who's back?

[bravelittlehero]

[There's a small crash as a journal has fallen onto the deck of the Koumyou, in the middle of the night. Then there's a voice, a familiar voice but it's a little deeper, Clementine sounds a little older.

She's not yet aware that her surroundings have changed and for those that come to see her she's splattered with blood on her face and her hands and her left sleeve is soaked through. Clementine is about a head taller, as she's no longer nine, but eleven.

Her voice is strong and defiant and she'd been in the process of turning around.]

I'm still. Not. Bitten.

[She's breathing a little hard from exertion.]

Comments

[It's a little awkward for her too, coming back. To them not much time has passed, but to her it's been a long time.]

Right, sure. A party could be good.

[aidreamofsenpai]

I hope so. I think everyone could use something positive but...

[He pauses.]

You know, if it's too much for you, I'm sure everyone would understand if you didn't do much! It must be really weird, huh?

[bravelittlehero]

It's a little weird, yeah, but I'll be fine. I'm just really tired.

[aidreamofsenpai]

Maybe I should let you rest?

[He smiles softly.]

But if you need anything, or you just want company sometime, you can just ask me, okay? Things are a little weird on the ship right now, but I'll be there for you if you need anything. If you want.

[bravelittlehero]

Yeah, I think I should rest before I try and really talk to people.

[She returns the smile, just a little.]

Thank you Ai, I appreciate it.

[aidreamofsenpai]

[He nods, then reaches out to gently brush his hand against her arm, not quite bold enough to go for a hug, or even really grasp her. He knows her world is difficult and scary, and she'd arrived badly, and he doesn't want to be upsetting.]

You're welcome.

[Then he's stepping away, slowly.]
