[ It's been... an interesting day so far, and despite the whiplash of actually being thrown back into school(?), Claude has no qualms with spending some time by the bonfire to unwind.
All the more when he sees Otome doing the same, wandering over and offering one of the chicken skewers he's holding. ]
It's a paltry offering, but may I offer you a bite after a long day's work?
[ It's gotten chillier, so she's grateful for the bonfire, burrowed down snugly in her doctor's coat. There's an almost distant look in her eyes as she gazes at the flames, as though she's recalling something.
But she looks up when Claude speaks, offering him a grateful smile as she reaches out to accept the skewer. ]
I'd say this was more of a poultry offering than a paltry one-- thank you, Claude.
[ She... thinks she might have seen him at the execution and considering his last text to her, Otome thinks she should probably try to assuage concerns sooner rather than later. So-- ]
[ well, movie night is over and Otome likes to think she's done well against this really frustrating urge but Claude is leaving and she thinks it's probably rude not to see him off.
So, after a minute and very much conflicted, she eases herself to her feet and moves closer to catch him with an easygoing smile. ]
[ They don't have a whole lot of time if this compulsion happens again and so Otome has been a blur of motion and tending to people, stabilizing what she can and leaving things like resting mostly to their dormmates to carry out.
But with Claude, she's managed to find a way into the Spring dorm, either with his help or through following someone who was lugging him there, and wow is she looking both determined and a little upset. Still, her voice is steady. ]
Your head wound... can I examine it? We'll also probably need to get you out of that outfit so I can properly tend to your arm...
[ Otome is out among the flowers, pausing every now and then to examine one or another, but after a moment, just-- plopping down right in front of them and closing her eyes.
Approach? Call out? Scare the ever-loving crap out of her by approaching without calling out? The power is Claude's. ]
[ Claude looks very intrigued by the "lazy river", curiosity and interest apparent when she approaches him, though there's also an undercurrent of fatigue. ]
It just might be. Do you think we could just float along without any effort?
We were never very large. We figured at least we could try to make the trials easier if more than one person had witnessed abilities and injuries the night before a murder.
[ Claude doesn't have too many obvious injuries, no broken limbs or unsteady gait.
But he is bleeding a little from where he was stabbed through one of his kidneys, probably having reopened the wound. So he's just collapsed on a bean bag, bleeding. ]
