Helianthus Named after its tendency to turn to face the sun. Helianthus comes from Greek helios, "sun" and anthos, "flower" Adoration, loyalty, and longevity
[rondo your BEES. she looks mildly concerned about this, and she almost brings up a hand to touch it to get a better look but she thinks better of it. rather, she listens to what he says and frowns softly.]
...bees. [just bees. why.] It can't be comfortable at all. Do you want me to get another wet cloth to cool it? The pyre might be drying out the other. [she's not going to drag him away from there. but she wants him to be comfortable while they all cope with this loss.]
Mr. Daan treated them for me... thankfully, most of it didn't get through my clothes.
[ there's a little shake of his head, though she's probably right - the cloth he was holding is a little less damp. he's been sitting here for a while. he does put on a smile, small, tired. ]
There's no need to trouble yourself, Miss Aerith... thank you very much.
That's good. [some protection, and thank god for daan as usual. at the end, she will insist he come with her to re-wet the cloth just in case, but for now...they need a moment.]
This isn't troubling myself. [just so he knows, but her own smile is similar.] We...after this, it's even more important we take care of each other. We have a very long day tomorrow.
[ weh. rondo nods, and after a moment, leans over - the affection week compulsion is real, though he's already affectionate enough - to nudge his shoulder gently into hers, sitting side by side by the fire. ]
... It really - I hadn't thought it would have escalated.
[a gentle nudge back to return the gesture. they need to stick together, after all.]
I had been hoping it wouldn't. After last week, I would have thought that no matter what temptations would come up people wouldn't give in and would be able to hold on a little longer. [because three cases is a lot, and it means it's entirely possible one of these victims was because of an item someone wanted.]
