Thirty-sixth snapshot [Accidental Video]

[brig_gen_maes]

[Maes' back is to the PCD as he kneels on the ground, carefully putting children's books away on a small shelf. A rather large stack of books rests in the crook of one elbow. He's singing very quietly, a lullabye. The top shelf is only half-full and the books keep trying to tip. Maes has nearly finished filling it when he puts several in too

He's contemplating coming by to visit

[Private/Unhackable]

Maes...

[A long pause of indecision]

...Would you like some help picking that up?

[Private//Unhackable] Maes would appreciate it and hate being a burden at the same time

[brig_gen_maes]

[When the PCD beeps, Maes picks it up and stares at the message for a minute.]

I didn't want...

[He sighs heavily, looking at the mess.]

Nothing cleans itself up.

[Private//Unhackable] Poor Maes. So would you like it offlined?

[turn_a_blindeye]

I know. ...You know how this place is.

[Kakashi smiles softly, sympathetically.]

I'll be right over.

[Private//Unhackable] Yes? I need to get him out of this.

[brig_gen_maes]

[He can't help but feel like he's letting everyone down, but he nods.]

I'll... be here.

[hits_then_heals]

Maes-san?

OOC: I'm assuming this is in the morning after the event? If it is, would it be alright if Sakura is still there to see this?

[brig_gen_maes]

Miss Sakura. You're free to go home; the event is over.

[[ooc: It is. She can be, but she's younger, so he's not that likely to open up.]]

[hits_then_heals]

Before I left...I wanted to thank you, in person, for taking me in. It's been a rough few days.

OOC: That's completely fine! But it won't stop her from at least trying.

[brig_gen_maes]

Not at all, Miss Sakura. You're welcome.

[He gives her the best smile he can muster.]

Better that you're safe here than not safe, right?

[endureandwait]

Mr Hughes.....?

[brig_gen_maes]

Ah. Miss Winry.

You're back home safely?

[endureandwait]

Yes. Sorry, but I do appreciate you having looked after me during that.

...Are you alright?

[brig_gen_maes]

I didn't mind at all.

[He waves her question off.]

You know me. I'm always all right. There's just some mess to clean up around the house.

[brig_gen_maes]

Ah, Hawke. Hello.

[golden_hawke]

You are not well. -=not really a question. He's worried.=-

[brig_gen_maes]

[He closes his eyes for a moment, trying to recompose himself and struggling.]

I... It's been a very long month. Or few.

...unicorn spam.

[saintedsinner]

... Maes.

Hee.

[brig_gen_maes]

Edward.

<3

[saintedsinner]

You shouldn't be alone.

[brig_gen_maes]

I had been, but I've been kidnapped by a ninja. I'd say send help, but I think he is the help.

[A weak attempt at a joke.]
