Week 5, Wednesday; Hiro

[sylfied]

[ She honestly isn't sure what Serph's letter means-- and she knows it's from him, she'd know that symbol anywhere.

She's also not exactly sure she wants to enlist help figuring out what he's trying to tell her, but Serph is just like her: he wouldn't go through the trouble of doing something if it wasn't important.

So Fie squares her shoulders, wraps her scarf around her neck because that is currently the warmest thing she owns in her short shorts, and goes to possibly regret some things. Besides the weather. ]

... Hiro. I need your help.

[zerotohiro]

And here we are five weeks in with a whole bunch of betrayals behind us. [He notices that she's moving, and he tilts his head a little.

...right. That's fair. He'll just get up and shuffle back toward the bed and settle next to her before flopping on his back to stare at the ceiling. His feet are dangling off of the floor, but he seems comfortable that way, too.]

Sometimes I wish I knew a way to make this whole thing less depressing, too.

[sylfied]

... Me too. But like you said... all we can really do is move forward.

[zerotohiro]

Or we can not move until the snow stops. That sounds like a better idea. After the sun comes back then we can talk about moving forward.

[He's mostly chattering to distract her and distract himself from the horrible situation. Is it working? Who knows.] Maybe instead of a murder, investigation and trial we should just rally for a snowball fight or something.

[sylfied]

[ well, she's tired and wrapped in sheets, she'll doze sooner or later if he keeps chattering. ]

That'd be nice, but I think we're pretty much stuck with it. If you're telling me to sleep over tonight, though...

[ Fie, he didn't say that. ]

[zerotohiro]

[...?!]

I...guess? If you want. Going back outside to your own hut seems stupid especially since it's getting late.

[sylfied]

... I'd have to at least go back and bring the dog with me.

[ she's not leaving him alone, the poor thing. ]

[zerotohiro]

Dogs have fur. [Which sounds like a stupid statement but he means more in that dogs are warm and it's not a bad idea.] I could go get him, too, if you think he'd come with me. I'm still dressed warmer than you are.

[Seriously what's up with the shorts. Your scarf does nothing, Fie.]

[sylfied]

I'm not sure if he would.

... It's fine, I'll be fast.

[ seriously. She's not called Sylphid for nothing. ]

[zerotohiro]

You promise? [Look he doesn't know that? Let him live.]

[sylfied]

[ Hiro do you think she's going to die on her way to the hut and back it's Wednesday ]

Mm, I promise.

[zerotohiro]

[LOOK. IT'S COLD but also fair.]

Cool...whenever you're ready then. And I'll let Yona know you're crashing with us.

[sylfied]

Roger. I'll be back.

[ and off she goes, shedding bed sheets.

... She will return in about fifteen minutes, covered completely in snow with an equally snowy dog in tow, at least. ]

[zerotohiro]

[A DOG!!!!

And also Fie. But A DOG!!! He actually smiles in delight because what a good boy? He's getting off of the bed and sliding down to the floor, reaching under the bed and handing Fie a towel. He apparently doesn't care if the dog is snowy.]

Mera's "item", or yours?

[sylfied]

[ Salty is happily padding over to give Hiro doggy kisses, while Fie takes the towel and... tosses it over her head.

Ugh, it's cold. ]

Mera's. His name is Salty. I have a flower pot from home.

[zerotohiro]

[Yeah you're not getting his sheets back until you dry off, Fie. Hiro doesn't mind doggy kisses and even settles for ruffling Salty's fur and scratching behind his ears.]

Salty dog. Really? [He can't help but smirk because Hiro would get that pun a lot faster than I would.] A flower pot suits you though. The whole...gardening thing. Does it even have plants in it?

[sylfied]

[ She's working on it! Shivering makes tasks difficult okay, let her be!!! ]

... It does. It's got the first flowers I ever grew back home.

[zerotohiro]

[It's fine? This is fine.]

That's kinda cool. I'm surprised they lived while we're here. [...] They gave me something that's kind of alive and kind of not.

[sylfied]

...? What does that mean?

[zerotohiro]

It means that it doesn't look like much or do much on its own, but when it links up with the right components it creates one of the best people I know.

[sylfied]

...

[ Fie continues to stare at him blankly. ]

[zerotohiro]

[...sigh. He's just reaching into his pocket and pulling out Baymax's chip to hand to her.]

[sylfied]

[ Fie is at least holding it carefully. ]

It's a... computer thing.

[zerotohiro]

That's Baymax. [It has Tadashi's name on it, but that's his brobot.] Or, at least, his programming. His body's probably still at home.

[sylfied]

Oh.

[ again, she peers at the chip. And, quietly-- ]

Hi, Baymax.

[zerotohiro]

[He's on the floor with Salty still, but there's a small smile.]

...he would probably like you. He tends to get along with everybody though. He was designed to be a healthcare robot and respond positively to people which is why he looks like a walking marshmallow.
