[THANK GOD APHRO WEEK IS OVER. Instead, Junpei's in the garden and even if it's indoors, it's kind of nice to be surrounded by something that isn't water. He seems to be glancing at a patch of purple flowers when Katy approaches, but there's a grin and a gentle bump back. Even if he won't say so, he's kind of a big fan of casual touching, too.]
Is it too much to say "better now that you're here"? [Teasing, of course, but there's a light smile anyway.] But...I'm okay, I think. [He lifts a hand and gestures to his head.] This is quiet for once.
[Probably not for long, but the five minutes of peace is nice.]
[He's right, though. She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear and inhales deeply; finally, something that smells a little like home. She's used to sprawling farmland, not seaspray.
If the killer(s) this week fuck up the garden, she's gonna crack skulls.]
So long as you're good as you can be.
[No one's ever really "good" here, she gets that.]
Keep an eye on the ruins when you're able, too. I gave Escha my lighter and told her to send us some smoke signals.
[She's not expecting it to work, but there's hope in it, at least.]
Yeah...working on it one day at a time. [What else can be said about it? It's another day with more mysteries to solve. Also let's be honest, it's a new location, of course someone's gonna fuck it up. But that's a thought nobody needs to dwell on right now. He doesn't seem to mind the laugh. It's sort of a nice sound, all things considered, and this time when she speaks he actually turns to look at her.]
Very smart thinking. I've been checking on them every hour or so to see if anything changes, so now I have something to look for. [He subtly adjusts the watch on his wrist. The time's still running even if it doesn't match the current time itself. But something occurs to him and he pauses.] You showed her how to use it, right?
