[FIN] Facing the Music

[Suudonym]

Mieu continued to pout, but he was faintly more receptive to the situation under Rosie's attention. Before long, Luke returned from his brief expedition, toting a fairly standard duffel bag in one hand and raising the other in a silent greeting that indicated his return. He lifted the bag slightly in gesture to his successful endeavor, reached a hand briefly to the head of the Flareon that stood to greet him, and, with little hesitation, undid the lock once more. He wasn't really sure how he was able to withstand everything, as terrifying as the thought of facing all this had been. Drawing open the locker's door once more, green eyes fell to Rosie in sidelong glances; he had a fairly good theory in mind. "I'm glad," he said, the words carrying such a tone that he easily might have been speaking to himself, "that you were here. Thank you."

"See~ no time at all." Rosie said to the pokemon when Luke walked back over with a bag.
Gathering up the swords back into her arms as she worked to stand up again while he opened the locker once more.
Straightening up and looking at him just as he spoke again.
His words made her blink, her cheeks turning pink. "hm-?"

He paused briefly, maintaining a forward-facing gaze, and shook his head, "Nothing." Most of the time required to transfer the items was dedicated to arranging them to best make use of the available space, and even that took only minutes. Eventually he situated everything so that he could comfortably transport them and removed the lock, sighing a deep but quiet breath over the task that was accomplished. "Okay."

A soft smile feathered her lips, when he shook his head. glancing inside the storage as he started to take things out.
It had made her happy, to hear those words from Luke, better yet, made things a little more... hopeful.
Hitching up the swords in her arms, to hold them more comfortably.
"Always." She added into the silence of him clearing out the items.

He was finished, she straightened up and smile. "Okay."  

[Suudonym]

Always. Somehow he very much liked the sound of that.
