[she's turning around and holding out a little dead rat! it has a fat, dead little body, a bird skull sewn on where its head should be, and bony wigs. she starts moving his little arms to make him wave.]
[ he has a hand and i think laudna will be glad for that? yeah. we are wherever you want us to be. or the void. ]
Laudna, you alright? [ his voice is raspy because whatever smoke inhalation, irrelevant. he figures she is the least likely to be shaken up about sudden murder because she is Like That, but he mostly means physically, because he has no fuckin idea what happened to people last night ]
[where is cloud on this fine sunday? laudna can be found lingering near the pyre a little after the execution, thoughtfully working on a little embroidery hoop.]
[ does laudna like the island. well, cloud sure seems to!! or at least he seems cheerful enough while he is petting a sheep, to the point that he even throws a little smile laudna's way ]
Hey. Making friends for Pâté? [ wow... didn't even call it the rat... ]
anyway he hesitates a bit when he sees her but walks closer ]
...You alright? You ran outta there quick.
[ he is thinking maybe she wasnt good with dogs growling at her or something since clearly it couldn't be the violence and he doesn't know cyoas anything ]
[ it sure emotionally feels like we are in week 5. what embroidery is it this time!!! cloud's hanging around the. church? memorial? thing? that place. kind of messing with some flowers ]
Yeah. I'm fine. [ he doesn't sound like he's lying. he doesn't sound like he's, you know, thrilled either, but. you know. ] You? Earlier, you looked...
[ well, it's normal to be mad, but he doesn't think it's normal for laudna to look mad. ]
[wow here's a wonderful and engaging starter about exploring the new locations. it's very interesting and gives you a sense of the world we're playing in. anyway, memory]
[ this is such an intricate starter before the memory wowie thank you so much
the thing is, he has enough context that a lot of this doesn't surprise him. or--is it the context? is it that it feels just a little--familiar? he doesn't want to linger on that. he doesn't. so instead he focuses on what's in front of him: ]
Are you okay? [ emotionally. physically? past that moment? in general? he's not sure which he means. ]
[ coming to sit or stand next to laudna wherever she is currently. if she is sitting he has to move his sword like a loser because sitting with that is awkward. ]
You wished her gone, right?
[ they have vaguely talked about this, but there was so much to do, and i was very tired, so. just one last check up. ]
week 0; sometime probably saturday though
Maybe we'll find a little friend for you in here. What would you think about that?
no subject
You talking to me?
[ or herself again, which, honestly both options are bad. neither of them should get little friends. ]

... Isn't Pickles the dog...? [ but unlike laudna he will spot her there; ] Oh. Laudna.
[ is having the realization that yuffie is staying with her and is mentally thinking who he should be warning between both of them ]
no subject
[she waves! she has what looks like ink looking like tree branches all over her skin, similar to the branches on the lace of her bodice and skirt.]
Did you want the bathroom?
no subject
[ he doesn't want to say no for forever but he is also so taken aback by the question. yeah. i guess they do have a bathroom. ]
I was... looking to see where Yuffie ended up.

Laudna, you alright? [ his voice is raspy because whatever smoke inhalation, irrelevant. he figures she is the least likely to be shaken up about sudden murder because she is Like That, but he mostly means physically, because he has no fuckin idea what happened to people last night ]
no subject
[she gives him a little wave with her left hand as she pops her arm back into the socket with the right. also, he is so correct.]
Perfectly alright, though I took a little bit of a spill. My, what a hectic morning.
no subject
[ well, if she's popping it back casually it's fine, but. still. ]
Yeah. There was a fire in the swamp. [ ... and a hand but he's. he's holding that. he should get a bucket. ]

Hey. Making friends for Pâté? [ wow... didn't even call it the rat... ]

Oh! What a wonderful idea. They do get a little shy around him, though.
[a smile... how cute. she'll wander over.]</small. Are you fond of animals?
no subject
They're easier than people. [ he says it like a light-hearted joke ] Can't say they always like me, though. I'm best with chocobos.
