[ So the kitchen is. Kind of fucked up because of the fire. Escha seems like maybe she wandered there absentmindedly. Reflexively, maybe she thought cooking would be a good way to get her mind off of things, but...
That would kind of be tampering with a crime scene that they might need to look at again tomorrow, so instead now she's just. Standing in this room in a bit of a daze until she spots Higekiri. ]
[in truth - higekiri was doing the same. at least he's wearing gloves, and is looking like he's just trying to see if anything can be salvaged for a quick snack.
when he sees escha, he crosses an arm over his chest, and then rises.]
... hello.
[it looks like he's managed to be dragged down a bit from everything too - his expression lacks its usual levity and buoyancy]
[ But Escha knows Prompto was just generally friendly to everyone. She doesn't know if he and Higekiri were close or not, but ultimately there are so few people on this ship that to her, they feel like they're all in this together. ]
... I want to get things figured out. I want to work hard. [ Escha is a workaholic, so throwing herself into things helps her focus when things are bad. ]

[ She gives the room a slow survey, though. Huh. They'll need to figure this out. The idea seems impossible already. ]
no subject
Mm... I wanted something small for my brother - I don't know if he wishes for a full meal at the moment.
[it's always going to be about his brother]
no subject
[ They seem like such wholesome siblings. ]
Right now... I wonder if you might be better off looking in the pantry for things to eat that don't require any prep.
no subject
[he'll start to exit, glancing to her]
Would you care to join me?
You seem as though you could use something light to eat as well.
no subject
I don't know if I can eat, though.
[ She came to the kitchen to cook, not necessarily to eat. But accompanying him for a bit is a decent distraction for now. ]
no subject
[still, he'll head over to the pantry]
You should still have something small, if only to keep your energy up for tomorrow. Human bodies can be fragile.
no subject
[ She walks along beside him, sort of on auto-pilot. ]
... You're right. We'll find something light.
no subject
[he lets a hand rest atop escha's head briefly before pulling it away]
.... then I am sorry, for your loss of a friend.

You too.

[considering that she was actually closed to the deceased,,]
... even if you feel you have a duty to others, I hope that you will remember to be patient with yourself as well.

no subject
[if she feels so strongly about it - how could he do anything else?]
no subject
Thank you.
I'm sure everyone will be as helpful as they can be. No one wants to let things get worse than they are...
no subject
[he agrees easily enough to that]
There are enough of us here that I will hope for the best.
no subject
Hopefully with just the power of numbers we'll be able to get everything figured out...
