[ there's a nod... and she rubs at her face again, and sniffs. ]

Ichiban... he acted like he had all the time in the world. Like he'd always be here for us.

[mogger]

[ it's still affection week, does she perhaps want a handsie to hold.... ]

He was pretty okay.... for a grownup. I bet he fought hard to stay with us.

[ wow, high praise from yuffie ]

[sootprints]

[ yes, she may have a hand... ]

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.

[mogger]

Karma didn't know when to slow down. Or even how to. [ just full-throttle, all the time ]

[ they are holding handsies now ]

And, yeah, he acted like a freak sometimes.... but he didn't deserve this.

[sootprints]

No... he didn't. He had a surprisingly kind side, even if he expressed it in strange ways.

I wish I could have understood him better.

[mogger]

Yeah, he wasn't so bad. [ another ringing endorsement from yuffie..... but he tried to gouge her eyes out tuesday so maybe she's allowed? ]

.... And Pickles.

[ the worst death out of all them ]

[sootprints]

Pickles...

It's going to be lonely without him.

[mogger]

.... Yeah.

You should come into Laudna and I's room. [ it's what pickles would have wanted ]

[sootprints]

... Perhaps just to visit. I don't think you'd like to experience what sharing a room with me is like.

Pickles was incredibly tolerant, despite his sensitive nose.

[mogger]

[ forces lavi to clean the room-- i mean ]

We can figure out the details later. Just don't stay alone tonight.

[ at the very least ]

[sootprints]

... Thank you, Yuffie. I promise I will return to the house later.

[ 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.

[mogger]

Good.

[ 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 ]

[sootprints]

The same way it does for anyone. A proper bath and a change of clothes.

[ she runs her hand through her hair, shaking out some soot. ]

... Perhaps two baths.

[mogger]

Why not? It'd probably help take the edge off. If you don't want to clean up right now, just start off at the barn's troughs.

[ yuffie just like get their stuff dirty instead!! ]
