[ sometimes you go play firefighter to no avail, so yea he is invest dirty. and i guess smoke inhalation or whatever his voice is raspy i wont remember to cough ]

I'm fine. There was a fire in the swamp, and we checked it out. [ does not... mention... hand... yet... ] It's out now.

[segnale]

[WELL

AERITH HAD NO QUALMS ABOUT MENTIONING THE HAND]

... You look like you could get some rest, or at least some water. [a beat] Um, does water help with inhaling smoke...?

[residentmerc]

[ aerith is so funny ]

... Yeah, usually. [ said in the tone of voice of someone who has been around. many fire. ] I don't need rest, though. I'm fine.

[segnale]

... If you say so, but that means you could use some water, right? I'll go get you some.

[residentmerc]

[segnale]

... Okay. Let's go, then.

[residentmerc]

[ there they go while he is uncomfortable with CONCERN ]

Did you see anything weird this morning?

[segnale]

... No. I looked around, but I didn't find anything.

[residentmerc]

A lot of it's vanished already anyway. [ so she might have just been unlucky. or your internet died. whichever. ] Death was in the church, apparently.

[segnale]

[:pensive:]

... What were they doing in the church...?

[before, like, being dead.]

[residentmerc]

I don't know. They weren't there when those guys fell asleep.

[ so... ?? walkies??? ]

[segnale]

Were they anywhere in the area before we fell asleep...? I don't remember seeing them or any of the others around.

[residentmerc]

Not that I saw, but I hadn't been looking either.

[ :T ]

[segnale]

A lot of questions but no answers, then... Well, right now, all we can do is focus on one thing at a time.

[and right now that thing is cloud's poor fuckin throat]

[residentmerc]

Sure.

[ he kind of trails off there, rubbing at his temple and looking wobbly for a second before he shakes his head ]

... You don't have to worry so much.

[segnale]

I get the feeling you're bad at worrying about yourself, so I'm not so sure about that...

[CASE IN POINT SIR WHY ARE YOU LOOKING WOBBLY]

[residentmerc]

[ he's fiiiiiine don't worry about it ]

I can take care of myself. [ that Wasn't Her Issue. ]

[segnale]

That's what they all say, mister.

[residentmerc]

Who's "all"?

[segnale]

People who don't worry enough about themselves.

[residentmerc]

You know that many people like that?

[segnale]

I've met a few.

[residentmerc]

A few.

[segnale]

Enough to know these things!

[residentmerc]

There's nothing to know. [ sighing but LETTING IT HAPPEN ]
