[The plushie gets put onto her bed with her giant pillow dog and a plush fish with weird trashy plastic wings that she's had for the last few days and I completely forgot to mention, it's fine. She'll nod as Hilda opens the closet for her, carefully rummaging for one of the extra hotel handtowels so she can wipe up her blade with a shaking hand.]
Mm-hmm. I'm... I'm okay, you know?
I'm sorry I wasn't here last night. I got stuck outside...
Sorta. I tried to sleep, but I had a lot on my mind...
[She doesn't have what she needs here to take good care of the metal, but... maybe Escudo didn't need the care steel did? Oh well. She was going to have to play it safe.]
Sword practice makes me tired if I work hard, you know? So I went and did my kendo practice for a while, over by the trees past the planetarium. [The sword gets carefully leaned up against one of the closet walls before she closes the door.]
I guess I was really tired... I didn't mean to fall asleep outside.

Of course. Here—
[ She'll help her open the closet or whatever else. ]
You hanging in there, Hikaru?

I didn't worry you or anything, did I?
no subject
Oh, no worries. I wasn't here either.
[ Does she look like someone who turns in before 8? What is she, a nerd? ]
Were you putting that thing to use?
[ She gestures to the blade. ]

[ She sighs, propping her cheek on her hand. ]
It's all so weird.
no subject
[Huh.]
Was... it everybody, then? Not just the people outside?
Hey, where were you, Hilda-chan?? Were you stuck outside, too?
no subject
[ she didn't sleep OUTSIDE outside, but why would she go into the woods that late? some of y'all are too much ]
I did get locked in though, so yeah. You could say I was stuck.
