[Another week, another set of disasters. Hibiki’s head is still reeling from the lengthy ordeal that was Solf J. Kimblee. But it’s because of that exasperation that she’s able to turn her restlessness into something useful. It’s too late to set about making curry for everyone, so it’s time to make some easier dishes. A replication of Fern’s mac-and-cheese, somehow she’s whipped up some kind of donut to go with her animal-shaped rice balls. There’s coffee, tea...hopefully it’s enough? And if it’s not, Rin has provided some delicious Chinese food. And that always tastes better late at night, doesn’t it?

And for the adults (or the exasperated teenagers), Susan is carting down booze from the bar. Joy. Hibiki’s never written to the group en masse before, but she delivers a piece of paper to everyone while Rin and Susan finish up the preparations. Each paper has a drawing of an animal on it, too.]

Too much has happened today. Whether you want to get angry, cry, smile, laugh, or just be out of your room, you don’t have to do it alone. Rin and I have prepared food for everyone, and Susan’s brought the drinks downstairs so none of us have to go into the bar tonight.

Even if it’s just for a little while, won’t you think about joining us in the dining room tonight? Being together is just as important as working hard. And remember, nankurunaisa!

[Three more candles are lit today. Tabitha Smith. Sigrun Eide. Solf Kimblee. They’re all Cabanela’s doing. There aren't any decorations, but the food is spaced out so everyone should be able to grab something and munch if they need it. It’s not clear how many people will come, but a serious attempt was made this time.]

What is it?

[She's a lot calmer now so she's not visibly defensive by this statement like she would have been just moments ago.]

[hesperos]

[ There's a moment of pause on Yuri's end, not because he's hesitating in saying anything or other, but it's more due to the fact that he's considering how to phrase his words. He wants them to be straightforward, so of course it's going to be exactly just that. Though, he's also mulling over a few other things, even besides what he wants to say.

It's obvious that the timer is a very real threat, and in a certain conversation last week he supposes he'll have to take back some words he's said. ]

I've already stated that both sides in that argument had some blame. But, as for me, I didn't end up trying to say something to diffuse the situation. So, I'm gonna state for the record that I should've spoken up, and it was my bad.

[ Yuri's not holding any particularly large regret for it, he simply feels the fact that he should've said something, so that Estelle wasn't taking all that heat. She's his friend and whether or not she was in the wrong for one thing meant he shouldn't have left her hanging at least. It doesn't matter there was a lot going on at the time, he should've been more attentive and refocused his attention elsewhere for a bit. ]

N-no, it's fine, Yuri. You don't need to apologize for anything.

[She knows by now she should have relented. It could be her ego talking again like it was in the trial, but she's stubborn as hell when she thinks she has something to go on and takes unnecessary risks like she did without thinking of everyone else's survival. Now she's trying to correct it, but not over-correct it like she did in Mantaic.]

I... should have known better.

[hesperos]

Heh. Well, alright.

[ Yuri's not in the mood to start another argument and things were fine as-is now that they were able to talk about the whole thing in the first place--might as well leave it at that. ]

[firstaid]

[It's probably best to leave it at that. Best not to get her in a stubborn mode again, though she would catch herself... probably.]

Thank you for coming to talk to me-- I feel a lot better.

[She looks a lot better, too, having that weight off of her shoulders.
