[ The beach is an easy place for Jeanne to be to see the ocean one last time. Even the sea animals she can see in the distance can only bring her a little cheer after the events of this weekend.
When she sees Hansa, she stops a distance away, unaware that he's no longer lost what made him used to civilization. ]
I'm glad to be able to talk to my friends like I did, without the fear that everything is against me. Sure, its a way to live, but its not the type of Hansa people need right now.
[He's ready to fight any monster, any Realm, just because he can-]
[And then his expression falters slightly at the next question.]
...I would be lying if I said I was fine. But they all worked hard to...make sure our path was clear. I can't remain upset, especially when...we might seem them all soon.

week 6, sunday
When she sees Hansa, she stops a distance away, unaware that he's no longer lost what made him used to civilization. ]
Hansa?
[ She's testing how wary he is right now. ]

[He says, with a light, tired smile. He approaches instantly - guess that answers that question.]
...How are you? [And a pause, a bit awkward.] Sorry about earlier this week. I was...well, not quite myself.

You couldn't help that. I didn't mind it at all.
[ She was worried, but she didn't mind it. ]
Is it better for you now?
[ Or would he have preferred how he used to be? ]
no subject
[Because despite how freeing it was...]

[ It's always a question how much memories can or can't change that, but it doesn't make what she said any less true. ]
I like you, as you are.
no subject
[He smiles fondly at that.]
Well, same here right back at you, Jeanne.
no subject
So are you ready for whatever we might face?
[ A beat. ]
And are you all right after this weekend?
[ There were some heavy losses. ]

[ There's a complicated emotion that crosses over Jeanne's features before it settles onto something almost forlorn. ]
But it hasn't been that long, so it's hardly remaining, if you choose to take a few moments as you are now to grieve.
