[mombastic]

Steven? It's Otome-- are you feeling any better?

[ Not being terrified in a corner, right? ]

audio;

[geophile]

[ he sighs when he hears her voice, but it's more one of relief than anything else. he was able to go outside without feeling any sense of dread or terror, so things have been going well. ]

Now that those spirits are gone, yes. I feel completely back to normal.

audio;

[mombastic]

What a relief! I thought the effects would probably lift by then.

[ But it's reassuring to have confirmation! ]

audio;

[geophile]

Agreed. I wasn't very fond of the idea of staying in my apartment for much longer...

[ he's a free spirit. HE NEEDS TO WANDER. ]

But thank you for the concern, anyway. I appreciate it.

audio;

[mombastic]

Of course! We're friends, my concern comes free of charge.

audio;

[geophile]

I should consider myself lucky, then... But what about you? I know you weren't feeling well for the past while either.

[ doctor or not, she needs to take care of herself too! even if he's a person who keeps his distance, he owes her that much as a friend. ]

audio;

[mombastic]

Me? I'm fine! [ With a laugh. ] It seems the worst of it finally left once I managed to sleep, so I'm feeling much better.

audio;

[geophile]

I'm glad. You're good at putting on a strong face for others, but please don't exhaust yourself.

[ he sounds preachy, but it's how he shows that cares. ]

audio;

[mombastic]

You're about the third person who's told me that... am I really that bad?

audio;

[geophile]

It is a noticeable habit, yes.

audio;

[mombastic]

Ah... well, I can assure you, I've taken plenty of time to rest.

audio;

[geophile]

Good, good. Then I and your other two worriers can rest easy.

[ he can't help but chuckle just a little. with all these people worrying about her (and probably more), she's probably the safest person in the colony. ]

Your concern may come through friendship, but I still intend to return your kindness. It's only fair.

audio;

[mombastic]

By fussing over me? You don't have to bother, Steven-- so long as you're fine, that's enough.

audio;

[geophile]

Maybe not through something so outright, but I'll think of something when the time comes. I wasn't raised to leave good intentions unreturned.

[ he isn't budging, otome. he's a stone, after all. ]

audio;

[mombastic]

... Well, I guess I'll look forward to that, then!
