[ Cloud really knows how to charm this girl. It's one of those "When you say and do things like that..." kind of moments, and she can't help but look away while her cheeks turn as red as her ribbons. ]

What a silly thing to say... [ Heh...

But as Cloud lets go, she takes it as an opportunity to wash her hands! It's gotten quite sticky with the rice, after all! And she's done with the onigiri, anyway. Little rice balls with nori faces! Her students love it a lot... While it may not be Cloud's style? She hopes it will brighten up his day some and put a smile on his face! ]

And I'm alright. [ Facing him now as she wipes her now clean hands dry on a towel. ] I really would like to be able to work again soon, but it is unfortunate that I am being told to rest...

[ She shakes her head slowly. ]

I feel fine now.
