Okay, last time I really didn't explain myself well. This is for any kids that feel they want someone around to help out; like fixing things, cooking, for any reason. This isn't any kind of...I don't know, like collection thing. Child services. What it would be is anybody who doesn't mind moving into the apartments on the far east of the village, you guys would all take rooms over there. So you can still live with whoever you want. And then there would be some adults moving into apartments in the same building, so you'd have somebody close who's there to do stuff like get groceries and help you with anything you need. Again, if you don't want to do this, you're definitely in no way obligated to, nobody's coming after you, etc. Just for those who want to.

Raine...not the Raine I know. Other Raine. Married Raine. ...and her daughter. Wow, I didn't get anybody's names, I suck. Leonardo, No-ah Joo, Oswald and anybody else would wouldn't mind moving to the apartments near the shopping center and would like to help look after anyone who feels they need it, I'd like to talk with each of you. Off the journals, if that's fine; I'll come to you.

If there's any suggestions you want to make or anything, by all means. Definitely my first time doing something like this, so I've got no idea whether or not this is how you go about it.

...oh yeah; anybody who can help with the playground needs to contact Molly. She's running the show.

Stella, hey. [Apparently her arrival warrants a bright smile as opposed to his regular monotone and a short nod.] Thanks for showing up.

[How did Stella never notice how nice he looked when he smiled?]

It was my pleasure, really. [And here Sophie waves and gives a greeting of .]

[Oh boy, that name. Well, at least it's original. Cloud holds out his hands for her; even with a name like "Unca Cow" he can't help but give her a little laugh. GD it he likes babies, they're so cute.]

Hey Sophie. I haven't seen you in a little bit; you still remember me, huh?

[Stella hands her over, which prompts Sophie to hold on to Cloud's shirt collar and respond with, , but not much more than that. Although her vocabulary is growing, she still doesn't seem to talk much.]

Of course she does. She likes you quite a bit, you know.

Oh good. Wouldn't want this to be one-sided. [Cloud hasn't got any lady-hips to balance her, so he's got to use both arms and gesture toward the apartments with his chin. His arms won't get tired carrying Sophie, so maybe it'd be nice for Stella if he did that for a while.] What do you think of this idea, by the way? I'm worried I'm coming off as kind of creepy.

[It is a bit of a relief for someone else to hold Sophie for a while. With that, Stella looks up at the apartments.]

Well, it's good that you clarified for them... Children believe they have just as many rights as adults in regards to where they stay, and while that is true, it's a good idea to keep an eye on them. Your idea removes the necessity to the children, yet still offers them help if they need it. This way, you're not telling them what to do.

So... [She gives a little smile and glances off to the side.] I believe you're striving towards a great idea.

...oh, well. [Cloud looks away, very aware that his face is red as an apple. Her opinion carries a lot of weight, so hearing her say that is...hm.

...good. Probably.] ...a-anyway, we should probably start looking.

Y-Yes... Let's. [She starts off and heads into the apartments, her head ducked to hide that tiny blush on her cheeks. Why is she blushing all of a sudden?]

Apparently one of the residents isn't too happy about kids moving in. [Cloud says this with an air of "I don't really give a damn." He heads for the stairs.] So I told her I'd try and put everyone at least a floor away from her. Like this is some kind of hotel service.

That does seem like the way to make everyone happy, though. If one doesn't have enough patience, I don't think they'd want to deal with how excitable children can be. It would save everyone the trouble.

If you say so. [Rather than sounding resigned, it's more as if Stella's word is so sensible it must be true. ...okay so he's always respected her opinion, but that's a little strange. Cloud's beginning to suspect something in the back of his mind.]

I do say so. [Stella's none the wiser at the moment, and she only looks around at the walls. Maybe glancing back at Cloud occasionally. Just to see if he's inspecting the place with her. Yes.]

[Occasionally they might meet glances, since Cloud's checking every so often to make sure she's checking the place out also. Just. Making sure.]

...so, uh. I guess this place'll work. And it's a good location and...all.

[When they do, Stella turns her head away and presses a hand to her cheek, trying to cover up a blush that's surfaced. She's being so silly, honestly... She hasn't acted this silly ever since she and Senel first started dating.

...Wait.]

... Ah. I'm sorry, what?

[For a second he just takes in the sight of her face before he realizes that she said some words.] Huh?

...

[ffff she has to giggle and turn away, quickening her pace a bit.]

I-It's nothing! Let's... look at these apartments. Shall we?

Right. Apartments. [Oh God that giggle was so cute. Had she always been that cute?

Yes.]

[She is most definitely hiding a blush. When she looked at him, she almost wanted to... kiss him. What kind of thoughts are those?

... No one would notice. This floor is relatively empty and- No. What is wrong with her?]

[As they walk through the apartments Cloud's fingers keep twitching lightly against Sophie's leg, as if he'd rather be holding something else.

Stella's hand maybe.]

[And Stella's wringing her own hands together. It's a nervous habit - she has to do something with her hands when she's nervous.]

These apartments... look very nice. They should hold the children nicely.

Yeah, should be fine. [Why can't he stop staring at her?]

I'm sure they'll grow used to it in time. [Keep talking about the kids, don't think about Cloud.]

God, I hope so. [Focus on the apartments, not Stella.]

You wouldn't want the voices of so many children complaining about every little thing? But it's so endearing, Cloud. [Just like him when he's disgruntled like that.]

Oh yeah, like music to my ears. I love it when kids cry at me.
