[ in the lounge! he's putting something in the fridge, and seems like... so much less anxious than yesterday. grim, certainly, as every friday is, but decidedly doing better.
he tilts his head back when rupert speaks up and offers him a tired partial smile, but there's warmth to it. ]
I'm alright - with it near done, now, knowing they're in good hands, knowing it's likely they'll be back soon, it softens the blow. [ Some. ] How about you?
YAY COOKING. he gives rupert a little smile and starts to get ingredients out, practiced. thank you all for not getting rid of the kitchen ]
No, I think likely not. We had the means to return - if I had to guess, I'd say they're waiting for the week to turn over to see what sort of information appears the final day. Not long at all.
[ a thoughtful pause as he pulls out a pot, shaking his head. ]
... Hate the way this place treats dying. Feeling like it's normalised makes me feel a little ill. [ bleh. ] Though at least it's near over.
w6 friday
he's looking for strohl, probably in the lounge.]
...Hey. How're you holding up?
[our adults....]

...It's tough. You're not wrong, but - Jacopo was kind to me. Well, most of the time.
no subject
Yeah. [ a little softer. ] He was a friend to me as well, especially after - well. All we went through to keep him alive.
[ there's a little humour to that, wry. ]
We were going to cook together this week, too.
no subject
You wanna make him something together now...? It'll probably get there before he makes it back.
no subject
Think that's a fine idea, Rupert. Perhaps something sort of hearty...? Lord knows I was starving on the other side.
no subject
[jeez...]
In that case, we definitely should. Maybe stew or something?
no subject
[ .... ]
... Odd to obtain. [ it's fine. Good luck, Bearzatti. ] Yoru wrote me to nag me about not sending enough food often enough even before I got there.
I think stew's a fine idea. Easy to make, too. Wash your hands? Let's get started.
no subject
[that's so concerning... but he'll go start to wash his hands. cooking time yay.]
Hopefully he won't need it for very long, at least.

So do I. I mean, I'm glad they'll all be back, don't get me wrong, but... That doesn't change what he went through. What they all went through.
