Day 52: Sun Room
No better way to start the day than with a bucket full of sunshine, huh? Too bad that'd been the opposite.
In the end, Yuffie had been more than glad to escape. All the angst and sap and drama; it'd been too much, and way too personal. She'd done her best, for her friend's sake, but that Tomoe chick was gonna be hard work. Why couldn't Kenshin have asked for her help in something simple, like killing the big bad of the day?
… Oh, wait.
Groaning, the young ninja gave up on just walking through the sun room. What kind of a way to cheer herself up was that? No, she needed something interesting-she needed a distraction. Walking on her hands wasn't a whole lot better than walking on her feet, but it did get Plucky going.
"Hanna, stop that this instant! You'll break your neck."
"Oh, come on; only a moron'd kill themselves doin' a handstand. They're child's play!" Yuffie, after shifting her weight to her left hand, waggled a finger at her nurse. "It's a waste of my prodigious talent, actually. You really should be grateful." She hopped forward several more paces before dropping her hand back down.
"Be that as it may," Plucky replied, doubtfully. "I must insist."
"Insist away," said Yuffie, nonchalantly, pausing just long enough to let a cat stroll past her.
"You'll disturb the other patients!"
"Your face'll disturb the other patients." It was petty, and it was childish, but Yuffie didn't care; it was getting her what she wanted. And what she wanted was something to laugh at, something to poke at, something that, while it kept her wandering attention in the here and now, didn't really require her to think.
