It's Yuffie!
[ don't soot, officer ]
... Hey.
no subject
[ there's just a quiet sound of acknowledgment. and then a feeble, ]
...... Hey.
no subject
[ non-consensually... she will hop around the soot and ash to the best of her ability, making her way next to kate. ]
no subject
[ it's fine, she'll allow this. ]
I'm sorry. I just... need a moment to compose myself.
[ her voice wavers. it's not going to be just a moment. ]
no subject
[ brushes some soot and ash away with her sleeve so she can sit next to kate ]
no subject
[ she brings a hand to her face, rubbing at it. the smoke seems to clear a little. ]
no subject
Yeah, I don't know if I do either. I definitely want to kick someone's ass, but there's no ass to kick right now.
[ because it's friday ]
I didn't think we'd lose people so quickly. [ three at once week 1.... and two from their house... one of them a dog ]
no subject
Ichiban... he acted like he had all the time in the world. Like he'd always be here for us.
no subject
He was pretty okay.... for a grownup. I bet he fought hard to stay with us.
[ wow, high praise from yuffie ]
no subject
You're right. He would have.
... Karma was the opposite. He kept acting like he was in a hurry... to do everything. Fun things. Important things. All of it.
no subject
[ they are holding handsies now ]
And, yeah, he acted like a freak sometimes.... but he didn't deserve this.
no subject
I wish I could have understood him better.
no subject
.... And Pickles.
[ the worst death out of all them ]
no subject
It's going to be lonely without him.
no subject
You should come into Laudna and I's room. [ it's what pickles would have wanted ]
no subject
Pickles was incredibly tolerant, despite his sensitive nose.
no subject
We can figure out the details later. Just don't stay alone tonight.
[ at the very least ]
no subject
[ then, she lets out a shaky breath. ] ... I must look like a mess right now... I'll have to make myself presentable in time for tomorrow.
no subject
[ don't stay out like yuffie did..... ]
How does that work? [ since she's never seen kate this sooty. they've talked about baths before, but still ]
no subject
[ she runs her hand through her hair, shaking out some soot. ]
... Perhaps two baths.
no subject
[ yuffie just like get their stuff dirty instead!! ]
