After leaving the infirmary Jennifer has a sudden thought. "Ulrike-sama!" Was anyone thinking to see how she was doing? Jennifer took quick steps down the hall with the intention of seeing how the Maiden was doing.

[Anissina was walking down the hall when she heard footsteps behind her. Turning she saw Shibuya-san behind her. She recognised the woman from the ball but hadn't had a chance to talk to her. She paused to let the woman catch up.]

Shibuya-san, are you alright? Were you caught up in the wave?

[Concern marks her features]

[princessotennis]

Jennifer stops and looks at the other woman. "Caught in the wave......?" She blinks before it clicks together and she gives the woman a smile. "Oh, I'm pure human, nothing for me to worry about with the wave."

Her smile dies though when her thoughts return to what her goal was. "Froken Anissina, has anyone looked up on Ulrike-sama?"

[genius_anissina]

[Anissina smiles, the concern vanishing to be replaced with a happy look.]

I am glad to hear that. So many people were caught in it and are only now recovering.

[Anissina thinks for a second]

I do not believe so. Do you know the way to the Shrine? Would you like me to accompany you?

[princessotennis]

"I would love that-" She stops and notices only now that her companion is now male. "Herr Anissina." She smiles at the man. "I know the way to the shrine but I think having you come too is a great idea." She gives the man a short bow before heading off in the direction of the shrine again, trusting she will be followed.

*Feels incredibly guilty, breaking down this way in front of a guest, and an important one at that. But he can't help it, the tears won't stop. Jennifer-dono is so kind, comforting him, and eventually he manages to stop sobbing, resting his head against her shoulder with only soft hiccups. It must be hard for her as well, losing someone who looked so much like her own son. It is something no mother should ever have to see.

Rubbing his eyes, he glances up at Yuuri-heika's mother and sniffles.* And... you, Jennifer-dono? *hiccup* Are... are you all right? It must be *hiccup* hard for you.

She gave the boy a small smile. "I'm doing okay, and you are the one I'm worried about dear. Learning this news after the wave...." She continued to pet his hair. "I'm truly sorry for how I told you."

[originalmaiden]

*He shakes his head mournfully.* Please do not worry. I'm sure it is well-known in the castle, even amid the confusion. I have not been privy to the information I usually am, due to my current appearance. I *hiccup* apologize for my outburst. *He tries for a watery smile.*

[princessotennis]

"Dear..." She holds him closer. "Feel free to have a 'outburst' anytime you need one." She frowned slightly to herself. "And that's still no excuse, I should have thought more...."
