[Rinrou]

It was soon pretty apparent to Raven that Frei knew about their little mid-flight date.

Rosen already looked bored, "Where's the gaming room on this thing?" he muttered, yawning as he looked around.

[Kaliko]

Raven started wondering if Frei had suggested it. At Rosen's question, Raven looked to Frei, assuming she had a better picture of the place than they did.

[Rinrou]

Frei didn't seem to know. She'd probably stopped at the pool.

So the group continued forward, running into Snow in the gardens. She was looking at the different parrots that had taken residence in the overgrown mass of plants. She glanced at them, "You're late!" she called, "What were you two doing~?" she asked in a teasing, dirty voice.

[Kaliko]

"Saving Nic and me," Raven replied easily.

[Rinrou]

Snow raised an eyebrow, "Uh huh," she replied, "Well everyone seems to be in a bad mood so I came to the garden. I suppose you'll make us all clean now," she stated, eyeing Wolfe.

[Kaliko]

Raven glanced over at Wolfe.

[Rinrou]

Wolfe didn't reply, instead he turned and kept walking. Frei grabbed Raven's hand and dragged him along behind.

Wolfe led them down to the living areas. The rooms seemed somewhat cleaner than outside but Wolfe's nose still scrunched up a little. "Pick a room," he told the others before exploring a little.

It looked like Kale and Zala had already found rooms. Zala was caring for him now since Blaze was still fired up for reasons that escaped Kale.

[Kaliko]

So Raven grabbed a room and transferred his things before cleaning up his room a bit.

[Rinrou]

Wolfe hadn't left his room to collect this things yet. He wasn't seem for a few hours.

Frei sat in Raven's room and watched him clean.

--

Laurel finally was able to relax her muscles. But following what had happened months earlier, she immediately began to shake.

[Kaliko]

Raven tried to get Frei's help cleaning.

When he was done with his room, Raven started exploring to find more cleaning supplies, particularly for the pool.

--

So Nic stayed by Laurel, waiting for the shaking to stop.

[Rinrou]

Frei clearly didn't want to help. She seemed content to sit and watch. But when he started looking for cleaning supplies for the pool, she seemed to get more involved.

There were cleaning supplies, though they looked a little old.

--

It took much longer this time but eventually, she was able to stop shaking through she remained pressed to Nic. "... We..." she whispered in a cracking voice before pausing and trying to swallow the lump in her throat with limited success, "We all have scars," she went on, voice muffled by his shirt, "even if... some are more visible than others."

[Kaliko]

So Raven got about working with what he had.

Nic didn't say anything.

[Rinrou]

Frei turned out to be one of those backseat driver types as she kept pointing out things Raven was doing wrong.

Laurel didn't say more as she hugged Nic a little tighter.

[Kaliko]

So Raven put Frei to work on the stuff he wasn't doing right.

[Rinrou]

Frei finally sighed and got to work. After an hour they got the filtration system back online. "... There's four other pools," Frei stated after a moment.

[Kaliko]

Raven paused a moment before letting out a long sigh. It was gonna be a long day.
