[ Cloud may have taken a step back initially, but it wasn't long before he was inching closer again, peering over her shoulder as she finishes making the little onigiri. It's not Cloud's style, no. But it's made by her...and he's already imagining what the look on her face was while she was making it on his way here, and he can't help but gently sigh through his nose. ]

Cute.

[ She faces him then, lamenting how she couldn't do anything but rest at home rather than return to work. To say that she's fine now...

Cloud's healing magic made sure of that, yes. But that still didn't stop him from worrying. Instead, he places his hand on his hip and lightly smiles. ]

Take it from me. You know how stubborn I am about the whole 'not resting' thing.

[ ...and thanks to a certain Shirasagi Himegimi, he was doing that more often. ]

Give it a couple more days. Till the snow's gone and you can hit the ground running.
