[ she looks put together but the 💦 emoji is giving away how much she's actually fretting. ]
Cloud...
[ he was soooOOOO not okay yesterday so she's WATCHIN' him. it is a relief that he's not actively bleeding out, though the hair and eye color is somewhat concerning. ]
You should check in with Nehan later, just in case. I know the springs didn't fully heal my wounds when I went earlier this week...
[ sorry to be momfriend but she is WORRIED!!!
she then shakes her head. ]
No need to apologize. I know you wouldn't have gotten hurt on purpose. [ in the sense that it's not something he actively wanted to happen, she's pretty sure. ] ...Can I ask what happened? You and Aventurine were with Daan and Kanda, yes...?
[ KANDA WHO IS. NOW DEAD. but this convo can be before body assults yeah ]
[ no emojis appear, but her expression gives away her feelings on the matter anyhow. she's hoping it isn't the case, but still very concerned after what else she's heard about these particular scenarios ]
[ just because they look alike!! but he shakes his head ]
I know how to take care of 'em. Should be alright. These guys are fine finding their own food in the wild for the most part even when they've got owners.

[ Is It, Cloud. at that question he frowns and nods, unaware kanda is fuckin dead ]
Yeah. All four of us were forced to take part in some kind of... fighting tournament held by demons on an island.

[ he says team with such hesitation, looking away a little. they were not. great at it ]
no subject
[ THAT REALLY. IS NOT BETTER, HUH.
but also circling back on his injuries before we both forget, ]
...Your wounds may be partly healed, but they could reopen if you're not careful. If that happens, you won't be ready for the next battle.
[ maybe... reason... will reach him... who knows... ]

[ I'm not weak...
idiocy ]

she withholds a sigh. ]
...So, who's your new friend?
[ I'M SO SORRY BABY CHOCOBO!!! I WAS SO WRONG TO FORGET YOU'VE BEEN HERE THIS ENTIRE TIME!!! ]
no subject
when that's over he stares at the little warbly guy ]
It's a baby chocobo. Not sure where it came from. [ im gonna need to make an icon for this baby eventually ]
no subject
...
[ she can be distracted by the lil guy with them, though. ]
So this is a chocobo? [ it's so cute... ]
...Wait, it just showed up when you returned...?
no subject
[ pretty big for a baby... but it seems happy and eager, hopping around. cloud looks down at it and pats its head. ]
There weren't any chocobos when Aventurine and I were dead. I've got no clue where it came from.
[ ...the egg...? ]
no subject
Does it have a name?
[ ...egg? what egg...? ]
no subject
[ because cloud rejects it being named after him again ]
There was this... soul egg. Pretty sure it wasn't a chobobo egg, though. And all four of us had one. [ and aventurine has no child, so. ]
no subject
Soul egg? [ what does that mean? was it born from his heart? ]
...It won't be too difficult to take care of, will it?
[ no idea how to raise chocobos (i see no greens lying around) ]
no subject
[ just because they look alike!! but he shakes his head ]
I know how to take care of 'em. Should be alright. These guys are fine finding their own food in the wild for the most part even when they've got owners.

[ imagines him riding out of scawwy on chocobo W7... jk we are endgaming, dice maiden told us so ]
no subject
Uhhh. To get to their full size... couple of months to a year, I think? Haven't raised one myself.
[ i dont know how chocobos work. ]
no subject
I see.
[ ...maybe it's good to have something to keep busy with, during their downtime. therapy chocobo... ]
...If you need help, I still owe you for the delivery.
[ not just with the chocobo. he has so many problems this week, help. ]
no subject
If you want to, you can, but you don't owe me that much.
[ he committed to saying she owed him so he can't take it back but ]
