[Filtered from Hope, written]

I heard it takes a week for people to be revived. Is that just "about"? Sometimes it can be longer? [The top quickly scribbled out to leave only a period.] Li ~~She's la~~

[There's a sudden break into voice when Aerith mutters:] I feel sick. [She still has to check on Hope... she doesn't know what to say with Lightning not returning--yet. Because she is returning. ]

If anyone sees Lightning, tell her she's in trouble... [Not like it'll make her come faster.] ... for worrying people.

[Action (if people want?) open to Zack, Hope, people passing through the first two floors of C4, as she'll be passing through them herself later. Allie, if you want to do a backdated thread instead to play out her breaking the news, that's cool too? Up for anything, even if Aerith isn't quite. She's looking drawn and paler, despite the sun being out more.]

[ooc: Lightning will be back soon! Part of why this is dated to Thursday. I have to work, so responses will come in about six hours.]

Oh, yes. I can reach from here. [And he now has two slender arms winding around his neck.]

[With a gentle tug, he lifts her effortlessly off the couch, turning them around and heading for Aerith's bedroom. It's kind of absurd how light she is to a SOLDIER. ...Though commenting if she had been heavy would be just plain rude.] Think you'll sleep long? I can try to toss something together for dinner when you wake up.

[She can reach the top of his head from here. She'd rap him one if he said that. But it's a little funny for her too, feeling the ease of his movement; it doesn't take much from him to carry her. He could probably toss her high up in the air if he wanted.

...Noooot that she's planning to encourage that. She shakes her head against his back.] I think it'll just be a nap. [She isn't particularly hungry, but she knows she should eat dinner anyway.] I'd like that, if it's not too hard.

No worries. It shouldn't be that hard, I'm only cooking for two! [He grins, lightly letting her down on her bed, waiting till she's completely off before stepping back to face her again.] Sleep well, okay? I'll see you later.

[She nods, lifting up the covers and slipping her legs underneath, looking up at him as she curls up.]

No tossing and turning for me, I'll sleep. Thanks, Zack. [She closes her eyes, trying to relax as much as possible.]
