[ It's a while before he responds, but it becomes obvious when he does. ]

Thanks, Miharu.

Yael was quite a bit closer to her than I was, so I told him the moment I read your message. With time, I think he'll be fine.

[ But ah... all he told Fai before going completely silent was that he promised to walk Kara down the aisle. It won't be easy. ]

I'm sorry too.

[ After all, she was there. She experienced the loss as well. ]

[ophidie]

Was it the right thing to do? [Telling them ahead of time... is probably what she means. If they were prepared, would it make hearing or reading the news again any more tolerable to deal with? With the similarities between them, the detachment might help, if only for a little while.]

You shouldn't apologize to me.

I'm making sure we still have enough supplies [read breaking down in the storage closet like god intended] but I'll come to the infirmary eventually. We have a lot of injuries.

[fluorite]

It was. Don't question yourself when you were following your heart on this one.

I'll be in the infirmary so come see me when you make it there. We can have some tea.

[ After all, he's still there to look after Yael. Missing a limb means a much longer recovery than a single week. ]

[ophidie]

Sounds good. I'll probably try to squeeze some rest in while I'm there. I'm sure I'll need the energy.

[She'd like to avoid him learning about the injury to her ribs or where it came from. Rather selfishly, Miharu thinks that this might somehow protect him, as wrong as it is to withhold the information. Is this also following her heart, or is she letting herself be afraid?]

Maybe tea after that? If your invitation won't expire, that is.

[fluorite]

[ Either way, Fai wouldn't be able to blame her. They really are much too similar in many ways. ]

For you? My invitation would never expire.
