[ Rough day means that Hilda's back relatively early, sitting at the small table in their room. She has sort of a distant look in her eye as she handles a teacup, half-full, leg tapping idly against the ground.

But when Hikaru comes back in, she collects herself with a small smile in greeting. ]

Hey. Want some?

[ It smells like chamomile. ]

[heartablaze]

[Hikaru is definitely in a lot later than Hilda. Her sword is tiredly carried in one hand and a plushie she definitely hadn't had before in the other, her outfit and hair littered with bits of grass and twig.

She looks up in a little bit of a daze, her eyes puffy.]

Huh? Oh, um... [She nods, wiping at her face with the wrist holding the plushie.]

Yeah. Thank you. Can I put my stuff away really quick, Hilda-chan?

[axecessory]

[ Hmm, someone's been crying. ]

Of course. Here—

[ She'll help her open the closet or whatever else. ]

You hanging in there, Hikaru?

[heartablaze]

[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...

I didn't worry you or anything, did I?

[axecessory]

[ The plushes... She's building herself a little collection. It's cute. ]

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. ]

[heartablaze]

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.

[axecessory]

Usually, I'd say you should take care of yourself better, but... yesterday was pretty odd. I passed out somewhere stupid too.

[ She sighs, propping her cheek on her hand. ]

It's all so weird.

[heartablaze]

...You did, too?

[Huh.]

Was... it everybody, then? Not just the people outside?

Hey, where were you, Hilda-chan?? Were you stuck outside, too?

[axecessory]

Sort of. I was in the arcade.

[ 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.
