[Cloud's outside, doing what he does best. Brooding.

He'll be out and around town after brooding in the hammock in front of House 50 for a while. Stop at your own risk.]

[Meryl's carrying some clothes that seem WAY too big for her. A bit of a surprise for a certain bubbling newcomer. She spots Cloud and quirks her head a bit. He seems a little off.

Nothing she can't handle, though. She approaches with a small wave.]

Hello, Cloud.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Hi. [Not a very spirited greeting, but Cloud was never one for those kinds of things anyway.]

[bernardelli.livejournal.com]

Er, the weather's been... pretty gloomy lately, for this season, don't you think? [She really knows something isn't right, now, but she doesn't want to rush into asking.]

[Oh Lord Meryl, small talk? Ffff.] ...yeah, well. I guess.

[Hey, this is a delicate situation! She shifts the clothes in her arms.]

... How have you been, Cloud?

[Default response: initiate.]

Fine.

[bernardelli.livejournal.com]

Somehow, I don't know if I believe that.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I'm fine.

[bernardelli.livejournal.com]

You don't look fine.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Actually, I look a lot better than I usually do after these experiments. So I'm fine.

[bernardelli.livejournal.com]

At least you made it through alright, I guess.
