[Nill doesn't really look relieved until she spots Kido, and she quickly moves to cross the distance between them. For the moment at least, she pulls the mask off her face. She's pretty sure she won't be coughing for the moment at least.]

I could be better. Did everyone get here that you were expecting?

[She puts her hands in her pockets.] Some people are still out helping the hospital. It's their choice but... I hope everyone gets in soon. I'm glad you're all right, though.

[People were still helping at the hospital.

...People like Kaneis?

For a moment, Nill looks very concerned, glancing at her tablet in her pocket. Was he out of there? Would he be okay?

Messaging him right now was pointless. If he was there he didn't have the time to be checking his tablet. But god, she hoped he wasn't still there.]

I'm sure they'll be okay.

Thank you for saying I could stay here.

[Is she worried about someone at the hospital...?]

Yeah, I think everyone will be fine. They're probably in the catacombs now. The best thing for you right now is to rest, right?

[She doesn't want to see her sicker.]

[She almost looks a little sheepish at that. It's not like it isn't true, but she doubts anyone is really getting any rest with all of this going on.]

I've been sicker in the past than I am now. I'm doing a little better than I was before, too. I'll be fine.

[Kido can't help it. She worries a lot about everyone. But she doesn't want to push it.]

All right, just don't push yourself. I'm doing a lot better now so I can help out.

I'll be careful. Kaede gave me some antibiotics earlier, so I should be well enough to help with things soon too. I don't want to be a burden here.

[And, you know... it'd probably be a good distraction, once the place starts getting blown up.]

The more help, the better. It sucks being bedridden and it's going to be a little cramped downstairs probably so... if you want to rest up here, it should be okay for a bit.

I think I might do that.

[She looks a bit sheepish when she says that much, though. The longer she stayed out of a crowded basement, the better. If bombs started going off she was pretty sure she'd hear it.]

Don't worry about it. I'll get you a blanket. It's still kinda chilly even though it's summer.

[Sorry, Nill, but she can't help wanting to take care of people.]

[It's been so long since Nill was in a place that she felt comfortable enough to let the people there take care of her, that Kido's comment makes her feel a little strange. Alien, almost. She knows that at some point people took care of things while she rested, but she can't honestly think of the last time it happened, or who had last offered it to her.]

It always seems a little cold here.

[ ... ]

Thank you.

[Being able to take take of people, especially right now, puts her at ease. It's something she can do. Even with the problems still lingering around them, she can do that much.

She holds up a hand - Just wait a minute - and goes upstairs. She comes back quick with a blanket and smiles.]

You know when you're sick, it's nice to just bundle up in a blanket. That's probably the only good thing about it. You don't need an excuse.

[Nill doesn't mind waiting, and she's a little relieved that Kido doesn't invite her to come along anyway. Nill isn't totally sure she'd be able to go up and down the stairs without getting dizzy and winded.

She's always a little surprised by Kido's kindness, but it's very appreciative.]

Thank you.

[She reaches to take the blanket, and offers a small smile.]

You shouldn't push yourself too hard either, Kido.

[She could definitely see her being that type.]

[It doesn't take any special powers to see through Kido. She rubs the back of her head, a little embarrassed.]

...I have to take care of everyone else first. It's all right. Everyone feels better when someone's looking out for them.

[Especially now that Ayano is here, she can't let herself rest easy. Everyone needs her to be strong right now and keep them safe. Leave it to her.]

[What's so strange about Ayano being here? She wants to ask about it, but well... it's rude to ask about what's going on in someone's head. And maybe now isn't the best time, if Kido is sick too and also trying to be strong.]

Make sure you look out for yourself, too.

[Nill would try, but she could only do so much.]

[Looking out for herself makes her more anxious than caring for everyone else. Right now, she's pretty relaxed.]

I will. How've you been though, aside from getting sick and all this.

[Oh you self-sacrificing types.]

I could be better. But nothing is really bad right now.

How have you been?

We're all right. I feel like I've spent a month in bed, though. Ah, I probably worried Kano and Kaede too much lately... That's probably the worst of it.

It's been a long month...

[She's honestly a little surprised it took them this long to bomb the place. But it makes sense if they're trying to appeal to the rest of their population.]

If they were worried though, it's because they care about you.

Do you live with them here?

[She shakes her head, though she wishes they all lived together here. In the basement like that, it'd be like their base back home, a secret place where they could make plans together and everything would be lively everyday. It'd make this dreary place more bearable.

But she tries not to dwell on that.]

We're separated throughout the housing but it's all right. We're together again.

[It's the first time they've ever been all together. With what happened to Ayano, it should have been impossible but... now they're here.]
