— return sooner, but alas.]
Still-- How-- How are you?
[forced out. he clearly was happy to see her, but... she couldn't just say it right away. she was supposed to return with a smile on her face to lift his spirits.
and she couldn't even do that, too worried to focus on it.]
[smile dropped seeing the other not get up. immediately, her thoughts went to the possibility that he was in too much pain to do so, and her stomach flipped, tied in knots...]
Ah, yes, I... I tried to stay away after last time, just in case.
[half true, since she planned to —
— into view of the other from his cell, offering a small smile and a little wave as she approached the bars. whatever she could muster through the guilty feeling.]
I'm back, Samekichi... ♪
[ @cageddelirium ]
[she's quiet. a bit solemn as she stares out to that red sea. hesitant.
she'd gotten caught up after everything... being seen, her samekichi returning.....
but. she made a promise.
and how could she go back on such a promise?
a deep breath and she entered once again in —
— her disguise, greeting the red sea citizens cheerfully as per usual and shuddering gently once within the dungeon walls, away from their eyes for now.

Stupid? I just made us all breakfast, I...
[granted, she has thought about,,, Something stupid that she'll have to do soon, but-- now? right now?
🧍♀️]
You haven't been doing anything... stupid.. this morning, right?
[ he curiously asks, making sure she hadn't possibly gotten herself into a mess. Just.. concerned was all. ]
[popping head around corner as she came into the room, she brightened once noticing the other awake.]
Samekichi..!
[softly, of course, though a tad excited, as she had been. wadanohara scuttles closer to the other, smiling gently as digits run through his grey locks.]
