faithfulflame | Fourteenth Prayer: A Rekindling. [Video/Action]

[It’s been a while since Rei could even find the time to make a broadcast over the network, and given her encounter with Anakin Skywalker the last time she’d offered to do flame readings she’s not going to be offering that today. Instead, she’s got a question, and now that her leg has gotten back to normal, there’s also a bit of housekeeping to take care of before some very, very important plans happen. As well as some admissions and requests to take care of.

So, early in the day, she addresses the journal with a forced smile, because one the questions is a little embarrassing. Normally she’d probably have just talked to Yukiko and Yu, but the Inaba teenagers have both seemingly departed now…which directly relates to the other subject at hand, in fact. Ami being gone didn’t help, of course.]

Video:

Hello everyone, this is Rei Hino. I’m afraid to say that most of the people helping me tend to Tsukino Shrine have departed Luceti. If there’s anyone who has free time and would be willing to help me maintain it, I would really appreciate the help. Some of the work that needs to be done simply needs more hands to be done. I’d be willing to repay anyone willing to help with things I’m able to make. If you’re interested, please let me know either here at the shrine or through the journal.

And secondly, I was wondering if anyone had some insight on some exercises for getting back a leg into shape after an injury? My leg was hurt badly recently, and I’m still a little shaky at times, enough so that I’m not comfortable with normal physical activity beyond walking. I don’t want to strain myself, but I would like to get back to normal as quickly as possible.

Thank you in advance for any help or advice.

[And then she closes the journal out.]

Action:

[Later in the day, Rei heads out to visit two very specific people. Raine Sage and Fayt Leingod can expect visits. Raine by Sailor Mars, and Fayt by Rei herself.

After that business is taken care of, Rei hits the shops and starts to gather up some things. Clothing, boxes of food, board games, and pastries in addition to food stuff and a bottle of wine. All the things one needs for an evening alone with her special someone.

And by nightfall, Rei’s got Tsukino Shrine all prepared for her promised evening with Fenimore. Some food, a present, futons, and all the things they might need for the next two evenings. Hopefully it will be a peaceful, uninterrupted night!]

...I'm no physical therapist, but I have done a little work in helping people with similar problems.

[He tipped down his shades and regarded the video feed directly, his brows furrowed in thought. The bulk of his 'training sessions' with Ion were just small attempts to get the slim young man into passable shape and work on his endurance. Little else was covered.]

And you know I'm good for any handywork you need. It'd be good practice for me anyway-- I need to work on my swing some more.

Have you? I could definitely use someone with those sorts of skills.

[It wouldn't need much, she's not as bad off as Ion.]

And yes, I know I can count on you to help with the heavy work, Cliff-san. I appreciate it, too.

[...In fairness, Ion was a special case. Cliff has never had to work with someone quite on his level before coming to this world, but it was a valued experience that he would gladly keep doing.]

Yeah. Just lemme know if you've got a leak or there's something too high for you, or even if you're lonely. I'm okay enough with sweeping things up, if that's what you need.

...As for the getting you back in order, I've got an idea already. It's hot enough, and swimming's a pretty easy way to get in shape without straining your body too hard. We oughta head to the beach, or use the sim rooms to make a pool one of these days.]

Well, I...do have a few offers, but I wouldn't mind adding you to the rotation, since I have to be there daily and sometimes I'll be alone.

[And that would be nice, she has to admit.]

And swimming? I...hadn't thought of that. It could work. [Ami would've suggested it...but...kidnapped.]

[Kidnapping, unfortunately, was just a way of life in Luceti...]

Yeah, lemme know when you've got your schedules worked out. I'm pretty open overall, so anything's good by me.

...Although, if we're going to be using the beach, you'll wanna do that in the daylight. Heck, you could even invite a certain someone along and make a nice day of it. I'm sure she'd apprciate it.

I'll do that, then.

[She nods again, hair swishing, but then she...freezes.]

Well...I certainly wouldn't want to go to the beach at night. And...Fenimore probably would too.

[But she looks suspiciously at him.]

But how did you know about that?

[He cast her a look of confusion-- one that was clearly put on for the show of it.]

Know what? What's there to know, and why would I know anything?

About me having a special someone. I haven't told you that, Cliff-san. Not since we made it official.

[GLAAAARE]

Oh, so you're official now? Really official? I thought you guys would keep tiptoing around it forever!

Really official. We have been since my birthday.

Really? Congrats!

...Though, this means you've got plenty of reason now to get into tip top shape. Maybe you can even get her to help you.

It does, and that's part of why I'm wanting to get better. I know she'll help however she can, but figuring out a regimen I can do is the first place to go.

We'll need to meet up and see then, because the beach has a few other things going for it too, like all that sand. You'll want to be careful, but it's a great place to work on balance and coordination.

When would be good for you?

Anytime. Besides working on my own stuff, I've got a lot of free time.

Would starting in two days be alright? Fenimore is coming to stay at the shrine with me the next two nights, and I don't want to be sweaty or anything...

[Cliff chuckled, catching the words that went unspoken.]

Two days? Yeah, sure. That's no problem at all-- gives me some time to make a plan for you.

Well, then I look forward to it.
