["Disappointed but not surprised" is probably the prevailing mood today. Where's Phoenix at? Flayn spends a little while at the bonfire, trying to think through something - he might find her there.

If not, she's going to start looking around the campgrounds. Either way, when she notices him, she nods.]

Hello, Phoenix...

["Good morning" doesn't really work here.]

[slobjection]

[ phoenix made a quick kitchen stop, but heads over to the bonfire pretty soon after.... ah, and there's flayn. ]

Hi, Flayn. Camp was nice while it lasted, right?

[ rip.... ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[guess their summer vacation is......... over]

It seems you were right. History is repeating itself.

[slobjection]

[ damn i'm mad i didnt make that joke first. ]

Kind of wish I wasn't Wright all the time... just this once.

[ phoenix is this the time ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[she laughs a little weakly]

I think that we all wish that. [she looks up at him, her brows knit together in concern] ...how are you feeling today?

[slobjection]

[ at least he got a laugh....... he'll take it. ]

Tired, mostly.

[ so tired. he's too old for these murdergames!! ]

Surprised you're not out and about.

[fishingforcompliments]

...I will be, eventually. I simply... need a moment.

[It's been more than a moment. She's looking a little flushed and uncomfortable. But she'll feel better soon, maybe.]

It is frustrating, that this happened.

[slobjection]

No need to push yourself, Flayn.

[ not like there's much to do since there's no investigations!!! ]

... And that's an understatement, I'd say.

[fishingforcompliments]

There is every need to. We will need all our strength for tomorrow, and...

[She makes a small, frustrated sound in the back of her throat, then brings a hand up to her forehead.]

Sitting here and doing nothing... it will not accomplish anything. There must be something we can to do begin to ascertain the truth of what has happened...

[slobjection]

If you need all your strength for tomorrow, shouldn't you conserve it?

[ just sayin ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[she shakes her head]

No... it is difficult to call oneself to action after a period of inaction. If I can accomplish even one small thing now, tomorrow will be easier.

[slobjection]

Start small, then. What do you want to investigate first?

[fishingforcompliments]

...any building that Tsurumaru might have gotten into, I suppose. There must be some sign of where he went.

[slobjection]

Good start. But before we investigate, we should grab some snacks.

[fishingforcompliments]

Ah... I am not very hungry, but I will accompany you if you wish to eat.

[slobjection]

Didn't you say you needed to keep your strength up?

[fishingforcompliments]

I do not see what that has to do with it. I have no appetite; overeating will only make me feel ill.

[slobjection]

But investigating on an empty stomach will have serious ramifications on what you find.

[fishingforcompliments]

Will it?

[slobjection]

[ very seriously: ]

It absolutely will.

[fishingforcompliments]

Because we may be likely to overlook something if we are distracted by hunger?

[slobjection]

That is one very important reason, yes. One of many.

That's why it's important to snack.

[fishingforcompliments]

...but if I am not hungry, then I shall not be distracted by hunger.

What are the other reasons?

[slobjection]

You think that, but the hunger sneaks up on you when you least expect it. That's why you have to defeat it preemptively.

For one, to maintain high energy levels. Investigation takes a lot of power, both mental and physical.

[fishingforcompliments]

What snacks do you suggest for an investigation?
