They're very beautiful, I'm going to make sure to take very good care of them. I would like to keep them alive as long as possible.
[She takes the flowers gingerly, visually inspecting each one. It doesn't take much to notice that Hibiki must have carefully selected each one. Truly it was a very thoughtful gesture.]
What would you like to do Hibiki-kun? Have you eaten today?
I am fully aware of that, believe me. I have seen what you are capable of, Haru-san. [ After a sigh, his voice softens. ] That's why I must make sure you'll continue to help everyone. And you can't do that when you push yourself too hard. At some point, you'll remain with no energy left.
To be honest, I used to think that doing things on your own is more efficient. Looking at the Palai helping each other and working together made me reconsider that.

[ Hibiki's going to straighten his back after one more deep breath and smile softly at her. ]
Ah, these are for you...please accept this bouquet.
[ He made it, he really made it. ]
We could go eat something or just walk around, I'm fine with anything.

no subject
[ So that's what he had to do and forgot. ]
A-Actually not yet. Do you like burgers, Haru-san?
[ Hibiki...no... ]
no subject
[Especially if it means that Hibiki is fed.]
After we eat we should go out and find a vase for these flowers.
no subject
[ It's a murmur that slips past his lips as he understands his oversight. ]
Maybe we should look for a vase first? I can manage without food for a while, it won't be a problem.
no subject
[She is going inside the building for a moment to do just that. The bouquet looks very lively.]
Now, food.
no subject
[ Oh, she's gone before he can even object and start reassuring her that he'll be fine. ]
Understood.
[ Hibiki smiles sheepishly at that. ]
How have you been? Are you getting proper rest after the fight?
no subject
[She smiles at him, reassuring.]
Though I won't lie, I'm still a little exhausted.
no subject
You need to take a day off, Haru-san. I could take your place for a while, so you could have a proper rest.
no subject
[She doesn't ever want to burden people with her troubles or her duties. She doesn't feel it is right. ]
no subject
[ No, that's no good. Convincing her might be way more difficult than he imagined it to be. ]
In that case...maybe we could do it together? As far as I've seen doing things on your own here isn't thought to be the best idea.
no subject
[She thinks about it for a moment, nodding.]
I won't stop you from helping me.
no subject
[ Shouldn't that question come first...well, he's not scared of working hard so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. ]
no subject
[It's just busy work, really.]
no subject
[ He stops mid-stride, his eyes opening wide. Unbelievable. That's far too much for a single person!! ]
Haru-san.
[ His tone is serious... ]
no subject
What is it, Hibiki-kun? You sound concerned.
no subject
I'm going to take care of the Palai from now on in your stead. Every day.
no subject

You're very determined, aren't you?
no subject
[ He can't hold back his chuckle this time. ]
no subject
[She's laughing now too.]
no subject
[ Hibiki taps his chin a few times. ]
no subject
[She shifts a little uncomfortably.]
no subject
Forgive me, it's just...it's refreshing to meet someone who wants to work so earnestly. You don't have to prove anything to me, to be honest.
