Yes, and no. Not much with farm animals, but I did have a horse at home.

[pura]

... Yeah. But who knows if it'll be a good one?

[Especially considering that things have gotten more hectic, lately... Nogiku takes a sip from her coffee, a little bit of concern poking through the rest of her emotions.]

Will you be alright, Hot Pants?

[fleshedout]

...I'll be alright.

[Even though the simmering of emotions over the emotion share says otherwise.]

And you?

[pura]

I know. But the thought of wasting time, and becoming complacent... it's a little scary.

[pura]

And that should make me feel less worried, because...?

[fleshedout]

You've seen what I've been through at home.

[But she's shooting a reassuring look over at her.]

Really, I'll...be okay.

[fleshedout]

....

[CLOSING HER EYES]

Sounds like Clarte, honestly.

[pura]

A horse... Did it have a name?

[fleshedout]

Yes, actually. "S.S. Brown." Though I also named him "Gets Up".

[fleshedout]

...

[Her eyes are watering, again.]

I don't want everyone to keep being in danger, here.

[pura]

[She nods.]

I'll be okay... [Just slowly inching herself closer to a thousand year nap, it's fine.] Did you spend more time in the pods?

[fleshedout]

Yes, actually. I'm all healed up.

[She shows her wrist! Just scars.]

[pura]

... Right. But don't use that as an excuse to skimp on your treatment.

[Anyway...]

Could you tell me a little about what you went through?

[pura]

It does, doesn't it...?

[fleshedout]

Sure. Here, come sit down.

[Replacing the bandages as she moves to sit on the bed.]

We were...heroes. We found ourselves in a tunnel and were told to go save a hostage. But there were enemies there we had to fight, at first.

[fleshedout]

Always self-sacrificing...really. Its unbelievable.

[pura]

I see. And those are the kind of names you would give a horse...?

[fleshedout]

Yes. He answers to them, so they work just fine.

[pura]

[oh no]

... I know. It's exhausting and frightening. But, we'll find a solution. May not right now, but... soon.

[fleshedout]

I will hope for that.

[She needs to. She wipes at her own eyes.]

For the sake of everyone.

week five, wednesday.

[pura]

[Welcome to the void, where they will stay until one of us decides where they are. Nogiku is just vibing and taking a little smoke break when she notices her.]

Hey... Back to your usual self today?

[fleshedout]

[Her skin is covered with stars! How cute. She's nodding at the question.]

I feel just fine, actually. [A tilt of the head.] Was I really that off before?

[pura]

Ah... That's good. I was worried.

[fleshedout]

I'm not as foolish as some people when it comes to healing.

[pura]

[She nods and moves to sit down on the other end of the bed. It's awful story time.]

... Enemies, huh? Anyone you recognized?
