[ sometime in the early evening, Clementine is hungry. and she can DO something about that! wild! not that she's great at cooking... not a lot to work with, where she's from.
still! off to the kitchen she goes, because she can't just mooch off of other people (Lup) feeding her forever!
[what is he doing? he's busy pouring some kind of oil in a frying pan that seems to smoke a little more than he means to, but it's fine. it doesn't smell burned, he's doing great! but it does mean that when clementine enters the kitchen he turns from the stove and greets her with a smile.]
Hey! What's up? [are you hungry, are you just exploring, what are you up to friend?]
[it takes a little bit of time to find her, but after searching the town sora finally makes his way over to the bridge. it's easier to spot clementine because of her hat, actually, and even though he's quiet with his approach he comes up to stand side by side with her and bumps her shoulder into hers lightly.]
[ she bumps his shoulder back... but seems to have so many thoughts on all of this that she doesn't manage to say any of them. she opens her mouth like she's going to, but then just. sighs.
so for a while she keeps staring down at the river in silence, down to where she had found Hajime's NOTE. ]
[it's probably a good thing she's asking considering the way he's giving her the most blank look. he still smells like smoke and there's some ash clinging to his hair but he shrugs, still a little on-edge.]
Not yet. Is that...you sure? [welcome to someone who only knows basic first aid and abuses the hell out of healing magic.]
[the river always has evidence, and yet sora continues to find his way here. it's not really too surprising to find that clementine also has migrated here, and as he settles in next to her he just sighs loudly.]
[ did sora ever dry off properly? i don't know why i ask you for location, it doesn't matter. she's just coming to make sure that he changed and got dry ]
[that's probably fair considering he's absolutely in the same clothes that're mostly dried out by now. he's sitting on the dock with his feet kicking at the water but when he hears clementine he just pats the spot next to him. there's room to sit away if she doesn't want an emotion bubble though.]
Yeah. Me too. It's kind of crazy, right? I was starting to think we'd never figure stuff out.
[ despite her initial protests, or shrug-offs, or what have you... clem is here to obtain an Offering For Rabbit from sora. because she can't cook. also she can't taste. it's. it's fine. ]
I haven't asked, but I get the feeling Rabbit likes sweets.
[hey clem. sora seems to already be here and he's scrounging around for ingredients while he grins at her. he is ignoring that he can't smell because surely at least one of them can. hopefully.]
You're probably right. We can make something really good for them. Cookies are pretty easy if you want to start small, but I can think of a couple of other things we can try. How ambitious are you feeling today?
[ kano was innocent, but at the time it was his own behavior that had made him suspicious - and not everyone had known it was some kind of curse making him act that way. ]
Guess the Realm recognized that too. Or something.
[ when clementine reaches the top of the mountain, she looks a little worn out. that was. a hike. and before any memory-sharing shenanigans she's just-- ]
Hello to you, too. [theyre in the kitchen because sora is making curfew snacks.] She seemed pretty bummed out in the pictures, so I thought she could use a new friend. And Palfred seemed to think I passed the test before Yona tried to say we were in love but it's fine, everything worked out.
[it doesn't surprise him. with what he's told clementine, he would have been more surprised if she didn't think to find him here, so the shoulder-bump is met with his own as he stays in the center of the room.]
[wherever clementine is, sora's going to shuffle off to go find her, and if she's seated he'll flop down next to her with a groan. otherwise he's approaching and giving her a withering, exhausted look.]
[stitches are kind of a new concept to him. like. he knows they're real, and he knows what they're for, but he's never had them or had to watch someone get them so the whole idea of clementine needing them is a little over his head.
nevertheless. everything's taken care of and her side is stitched, cleaned and bandaged. once it's done though, he turns to her and just kind of frowns.]
I'm not letting you walk back. You should be careful in case the wound opens again.
[ she... looks around? she is still in a lot of pain, here. stitches are a painful process on top of the injury itself, even if she's been through it before. (but hey, at least this time she didn't have to do it alone with wire in a dark dirty shed! haha!) ]
[ just because he didn't end up flouncing from the meeting doesn't mean she's not going to come harass him after the meeting. because it turns out trying to ignore someone you want to talk to is hard? especially when you want to hold hands the whole time.
and of course he's in the planetarium. first guess! she comes to stand beside him. ]
[he's in the planetarium and the komory bat probably stands out more than sora in the dark room, though it's sort of perched on sora's shoulder and its wings are close to its body. he doesn't hear the door open because sometimes you're still half-deaf thanks to your own hubris, but eventually he hears footsteps and then her voice.]
...hey. [...he doesn't have much to say and seems to be staring at the stars instead.]
[well. they had talked about coming back to check out the other caves and see the lights on the boardwalk. he waits until it's dark enough before going to find clementine and leading her across the bridge to the northern area. he's still in his board shorts and tank top, but this time he also has a loose hoodie thrown over the top with the hood up because it's a look.
regardless, he's pretty relaxed as they cross the bridge and he lets his gaze drift to the boardwalk lights first.]
[ i cry every single time people mention clothes because clementine is so boring and doesn't think to dress up in cute clothes. but why would she. it's just a friend date?
anyway she's is visibly very star-struck by the sight. sure, some settlements back home have electricity - and she's gotten used to the lights and changing scenery of the realm.
but a lit up boardwalk at night is just A Lot for an apocalypse child.
... regrettably, she does snivel a little bit. instead of saying anything. i hate it here. ]
[he's at the edge of the shore where the sand and the water meet, shoes tossed onto the drier sand and wading just past his ankles. but he turns to her when she approaches and just. sighs.]
No kidding. Especially since we still don't know if we really pulled the whole thing off. That's the part that bugs me the most.
[ despite the troubling things both behind them and ahead of them - clem is still basking in having gotten all the dead back. that's a lot, for her. so she gives him a quick smile. ]
[ clementine really is not usually the clingy type. so, like, it's fine that they're splitting up to go have sleepovers with other people!
even though it's! probably one of their last nights here, if not the last night here! it's fine! (she really does want to go hang out with her team, after all!)
but she does kind of - catch him at some point before heading to her own group. ]
[sora is actually the clingy type when it comes to people he cares about and if he had his way he'd keep clementine with him for the night. but they both need to spend time with their other friends and it's why it's fine that they split up for the time being.
that doesn't mean he absolutely lights up when he sees her.]
Hi. Got a break in your schedule? [he's teasing, but...]
