[ She isn’t out looking got anyone specifically, but she is out helping in what she thinks are the safest areas.

So needless to say she is out and about instead being in the dorm, and she doesn’t spot Hurricane right away. ]

[His head's down; he doesn't see her either, honestly.]

[ She does look up though, hmmm....

She saw a big shape in the sky earlier but now all she sees is a rooftop. ]

Is someone up there?

[There's a long pause. Then, finally:]

Prim? I thought you were gonna stay home.

I decided to help out with moving things from the hospital.

[A longer pause.]

You shouldn't be out here.

[ A frown from her.... her voice is soft, and calm still. ]

I know. But I couldn't just sit around and do nothing. I promised I wouldn't go back to the game tower, and I'm not. Besides... I was going right back to the dorm after I finished delivering this stuff.

Okay... cool.

It might not be - safe out here, right now. Even if you're not playing.

I'm trying to take the quieter routes. I...I have heard a lot of commotion.

Hurricane?

Yeah?

[ ... ]

Come closer for a moment?

[There's another pause, and then his face appears over the side of the rooftop briefly before vanishing again.]

[A couple of seconds later, he climbs out onto the fire escape and makes his way down.]

...hey. What's up?

[ Soft. Hug. Whenever he makes it down of course.

That's whats up. ]

Thank goodness.

[He startles - starts to jerk back - and then realizes that actually, she doesn't smell like food. Thank Christ she doesn't smell like food.]

[Just standing there for a minute before he gets it together enough to return the hug.]

[ Nope, she smells like a sack of ROCKS. Lucky for Hurricane!

She would let him go if he wished it, but, he looked...sounded even like he needed a hug. They don't need to talk about it, or think about it. She just wants to distract him from whatever is bothering him. ]

[Yeah, hugs are definitely nice. After a second, he holds on a little tighter.]

[He's supposed to be being okay, but... a minute won't hurt, right?]

[ Ah, well...in that case. She will hold him a little tighter too. ]

I'm glad to see you.

[He is still super weak to needing physical contact. Hugs are hard to say no to, okay.]

...same.

For real, though. You shouldn't be out here.

[ The hugging is not ceasing, sorry not sorry. ]

I know I shouldn't.

[Cool, cool. He will definitely get it together and break this up any second now.]

[Any second now.]

People are just... real weird right now.

[ Prim won't let him suffer alone, so she won't stop until he does. ]

I know, I have heard the commotion. I won't stay out for much longer.

[ Hmm.. ] I was really worried.

[Okay. Time to make himself do the thing. He disentangles himself and steps back, with some effort.]

Yeah, it's. It's not a great one.

We got this, though. We'll be back when it's over.

We don't have to think about it right now, okay?

[ She can tell something has shaken him, and she won't ask for details. ]

I believe in you guys.

[Don't believe in us too much, we sure did mess up that last round.]

...thanks.

We'll, uh. Do the best we can.

[ :( concern!! CONCERN!! ]

Of course, of course.... sorry for leaving the dorms.
