[Rinrou]

James took a little longer before his eyes hunted for Yue. When he found her he reached out, suddenly grabbing her face, pulling her in and kissing her.

[Kaliko]

Yue was rather startled, clearly not expecting it. She was rather rigid, but didn't try to pull away.

[Rinrou]

James pulled away after a moment when he noticed Yue's tension. "Sorry..." he murmured, rubbing her arm a little, "How long have I been...?" he voice trailed off a little.

[Kaliko]

Yue had to think about it awhile, but she gave him a rough estimate.

[Rinrou]

James sighed, "No wonder my head is killing me..." he muttered as he sat down, rubbing his temples.

[Kaliko]

Yue didn't say anything, still recovering a little.

[Rinrou]

James looked around, "It feels like someone was messing... with my head," he muttered, "And you don't look like you're doing much better."

[Kaliko]

Yue didn't comment.

[Rinrou]

James frowned before slowly laying down on the couch, "I'll ask you about it when my headache goes away," he murmured, sounding worn out.

[Kaliko]

So Yue let James rest and tried to get some rest herself.

[Rinrou]

When Nic fell asleep, Laurel left for awhile. She took Snow down to the gun range and got a few lessons before making her way back to Nic with a light porridge dish.

Kale stared at the food after having witnessed the foot massage and was starting to look a tad jealous.

Frei was smiling again for the first time in awhile as she insisted on going down the slide again and again with Raven.

[Kaliko]

It would take a little encouraging for Nic to wake up.

Raven kept it up for a good while, but tuckered out just before dinner. "Try it by yourself," he suggested. "I'll wait at the bottom for you."

[Rinrou]

When Nic finally woke up, Laurel took the pillows from under his legs and put them under his head, propping his head up, "You're eating," she informed him as she sat back down and grabbed the porridge bowl.

Frei looked a little scared.

[Kaliko]

Nic seemed a little confused when he woke, but not like before. He didn't try to fight Laurel. He did try to eat himself, but he got tired quickly.

Raven waited.

[Rinrou]

Laurel let Nic eat by himself for as long as he could before taking over. She was efficient and quickly the bowl was empty. She held the cup to his lips occasionally for him to drink some water and waited until he finished before taking both dishes over to the small sink.

Frei finally tried it. Every few steps up she paused and looked back. When she got to the top she sat down at the slide and seemed to freeze.

[Kaliko]

Raven continued to wait at the bottom.
