[ Siffrin is mostly roaming around the flight deck, peering out. But a small little white chao baby is on a mission and that mission is roaming on their own - unfortunately that means stumbling right into poor Kate, oops. ]
[ The chao is unfortunately already teary eyed, practically crying with a guilty look as she helps it up. Siffrin is already coming over, peering first at the chao, before to Kate. ]
Are you alright? [ The chao begins to babble, look to Siffrin, then to Kate with a patting paw. ] --Ah, they're worried they hurt you.
[ hanging out at the flight deck as the party is starting to wind down... kate left a little early to give the drunkies some room to be rowdy and not feel guilty about having a child watch them be idiots.
[ Kate is so valid, not as though Siffrin lingered at pardi for long themselves. Sirius skips on over to her. ]
I feel good about it. [ No bad feelings. And everyone is easy to get along with. ] What about you? It'll take some getting used to with the arrangements, but hopefully you feel comfortable?
That's good. [ Though, the apology has them pause, before they shake their head. ] No need to apologize for that.
Like you said, they're all necessary. [ For a moment on instinct they almost reach out to pat her head. But they catch themselves, instead offering out their gloved hand to her if for a reassuring hand squeeze. ] The laundry I think is something everyone would have asked for anyway, and the...
[ Word. ] Roomba helps with cleaning, so getting an upgraded one just works in our favor. ..I like rooming with others, it's nice to have company so I have no complaints there either.
Siffrin will peek in first, though Sirius just runs in because a chao baby cannot be contained. A soft sigh before Siffrin follows after, a little package in hand. ]
Sorry, Sirius wanted to see how you were doing, too. ..How are you feeling?
[ In a voice that suggests that Siffrin was bound to worry anyway. Sirius waves back before coming up to the bed and tries to climb up. Which they will sit at the edge of the bed with worrying coos. ]
Were you healed a bit? [ A frown. ] ..Would have been nice if I still had my healing craft to help.
[ Comes to set the little package by her bed and take a seat in a chair beside. ]
[ kate was already standing and gazing at this place with curiosity. she looks over and there's a jerky little nod, like she's trying to be reserved about it but is actually pretty eager. ]
[ Ahhh. It's familiar to them, from a certain preteen back home who tries to pretend and behave one way even though there's the obvious curiosity and eagerness under it all. It makes them smile, chuckling. ]
Then let's see what we can find.
[ Guides her along, gloved handies united. ]
I haven't, actually. Not that I remember. What about you?
[ Just a completely normal memshare, in which as soon as they draw close - they're flung into a memory that starts to play. ( CW: CHILD DEATH, SUICIDE, SPOILERS FOR ISAT)
As the memory comes to an end, Siffrin is mostly standing there... with a vice grip at their arms, trembling a little. Taking deep breaths in.. and out. In, and out. In... and out. It's fine. Everything is fine. ]
[ There's a small flinch when that contact is made, but gently, carefully, their hands turn over to hold onto her own. A small reassuring squeeze, even as they smile easily, like whatever happened didn't affect them horribly so.
If not for that small tremble in their hands. ]
..Yeah. I'm fine now. [ A twist of guilt, that she had to see any of their memories - anything regarding their time in the loops, there's too many of them that aren't even remotely pleasant to see. Especially at the end of that particular loop - the sound of bones being crushed, and the feel of their own knife swiftly slicing over their line to instantly kill themselves -
that feeling is too fresh. That guilt deepens. ] Sorry.
[ she keeps her hands on theirs as she feels them trembling. ]
What happened... It must have been so painful to go through.
[ for kate, it was just a few moments of terror. but for siffrin... how many times did they have to "loop" like that? and how long did this one weigh on them? ]

Ah...! I'm sorry...
[ bends down to try to help the chao... and has to hold up a hand to steady the wobbling helmet that is definitely too big for her. ]

Are you alright? [ The chao begins to babble, look to Siffrin, then to Kate with a patting paw. ] --Ah, they're worried they hurt you.
no subject
N, no, I'm completely fine.
[ tries taking the chao's paw into her hand...? she has a frilly little pair of gloves on, so it won't even get sooty. ]
It's nothing to worry about. Really.
[ and after she's had a moment to look over the chao... ] ... What kind of creature are they?
no subject
[ The chao appears suddenly more timid, shy, but will allow its paw to be taken into her hand. Curiously watching her as it coos softly. ]
Sirius is a chao. They hatched from an egg back during my time in Heaven.
