[If Claude has been snooping, which he always is so I'm gonna give him this as a freebie, but a certain shorty's been a little less peppy since Tuesday night. Maybe she didn't sleep well? Who knows. She's at least somewhat energetic when they all meet for the events at the virtual rooms in the spaceship on Wednesday, but by the end of the day seems to be dragging her feet when they're all fluttering back to the inn.
Today? Today, you could probably guess the girl is either deeply depressed or practically sleepwalking. Her eyes stay down as she carefully walks through the town, gaze heavy, the pockets under her eyes turning dark. She looks like she's heading towards the Emporium from the Inn, not a far walk at all... but she's about halfway before her weight slowly starts to topple to the side, catching herself against the wall of whatever building she's against and sinking down to the street.
It's okay. It's okay, she just... maybe she can just spare a few minutes to close her eyes. It'll be okay.]
(Claude is coming back from... somewhere! Where ever that place might be, he has his bow and he's heading back towards the inn when he sees some poor girl staggering around. )
Hikaru? (Something's off with her and he becomes more alert and breaking into a jog to catch her when she slumps up against the building,) Hey!
(He kneels down next to her, reaching to grab her by her shoulders and trying to get a look at her face to see what's wrong,)
Hey, look at me. (Patting her lightly on the cheek,) What's wrong? What happened to you?
[Other than the discoloration under her eyes, she looks fine? She isn't warm to the touch.
She'll start a little against his grip, like she's being woken up.]
...Claude...?
[Her face twists, weakly shoving a palm against her face to try and rub at her eyes. Her coordination is a little sloppy.]
Mmn... I'm okay... I'll be okay... [God love her but she tries to make that sound convincing even though looking him in the eyes takes frustrating effort.]
I've just been really... really tired...
[she rubs at her eyes again, harder this time with a shuddering, exhausted breath out. let her nap in the road you heathen]
[the twins have been saying fuck around her for two weeks claude
anyway she is dropped with a flustered bounce]
Eh??
Who is-- oh, the person I'm looking for? [She shakes her head.] It's Nico-kun... I made him kind of mad so I... I want to make sure he's okay, but he keeps running away from me...

WEEK ONE, THURSDAY AT WHATEVER TIME DOESN'T INTERFERE WITH UR IC CRISIS
Today? Today, you could probably guess the girl is either deeply depressed or practically sleepwalking.

PROBABLY LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON
Hikaru? (Something's off with her and he becomes more alert and breaking into a jog to catch her when she slumps up against the building,) Hey!
(He kneels down next to her, reaching to grab her by her shoulders and trying to get a look at her face to see what's wrong,)
Hey, look at me. (Patting her lightly on the cheek,) What's wrong? What happened to you?
(DID....... something else.... happen today???)
works for me
She'll start a little against his grip, like she's being woken up.]
...Claude...?
[Her face twists, weakly shoving a palm against her face to try and rub at her eyes. Her coordination is a little sloppy.]
Mmn... I'm okay... I'll be okay... [God love her but she tries to make that sound convincing even though looking him in the eyes takes frustrating effort.]
I've just been really... really tired...

(And guess who's just going to swoop down, to pick her up. It's a princess carry,)
You look beat. When was the last time you slept.
no subject
[Well, up she goes. She weighs a measly 88lb so that's probably the easiest carry you'll ever have to do, Claude.]
Um... Last night?? This morning, a little, too... Chiron-san asked me to go sleep more after breakfast...
[Is he taking her back oh no]
I-I'll be ok, Claude...! I, um... I really can't be in bed all day, right...?
no subject
And you're still like this?
(She deosn't feel warm or look ill but... Actually, he thinks he has an idea but he'll deal with that later.)
Yes, you can and you are. You're practically sleepwalking.
no subject
I gotta... I gotta go find somebody, though -- I can't do that if I keep sleeping...!
no subject
(Anyway to the inn they go!!! And he'll start to carry her up the stairs and stop, muttering to himself,)
Damn...
((Cover your ears, Hikaru)
AND JUST TAKE HER TO THE LOBBY INSTEAD and plop her down on a couch,)
Who is it?
no subject
anyway she is dropped with a flustered bounce]
Eh??
Who is-- oh, the person I'm looking for? [She shakes her head.] It's Nico-kun... I made him kind of mad so I... I want to make sure he's okay, but he keeps running away from me...
no subject
Who?
(Who the heck is Nico-kun... first Chijin and now this!! )
When was the last time you saw him? If you're like this, he has to be running low, too...
no subject
[low what
Oh right he asked her a question
/jeopardy music]
Monday...? I mean, I saw him a couple times since then, but he ... he runs away...
[jeopardy music continues
She does, at least, pull out her PHS and shakily find the profile with the right picture before weakly holding it out to Claude.]
That. That's Nico-kun. "Nico" means you're smiling...
[It's Shuuya Kano.]
