ten; YEAH WHAT

[onlyapparate]

Goodness, I keep losing my journal. I believe it was in the kitchens? Whatever was it doing there? [ nervous scrawl. ]

How is everyone doing? I know it's been a while since the new term started, but everyone's been catching up in class, right? If you have any trouble, don't forget that I'm available in my office after class.

As for those transformations... I hope everyone's alright? I didn't exactly enjoy the experience. Being that small was extremely inconvenient.

((ooc; Thobari was a Mudkip. so I herd you liek him.))

Y-- yes ... it is... N-- no that's...

[Blood rushing to her head, probably not good yeah...]

Oh, good. [ noticing that she's looking a little uneasy. ]

Uh, Kallen...? Are you alright?

[zealotringly.livejournal.com]

I-- I'm-- [Well, she was going to say fine, but she never made it in time to finish her sentence. Suddenly her knees feel weak and causes her legs to give out on her, falling over.]

[onlyapparate]

Ohmygosh-- [ Thobari takes a large step and swoops in, catching her before she collapses completely. ]

Kallen? Kallen, can you hear me? Please answer me.

[Give her a moment.... She heard what he mumbled before she opens her eyes.]

S-- sorry. [This is MORE embarrassing now that he's so close and she almost near passed out on him.]

I'm all right now. T-- thank you.

[ Thobari releases her slowly, but keeps a hand on her back, holding her steady. ]

Thank goodness, I was so worried. Are you prone to fainting spells?

in person;

[zealotringly.livejournal.com]

No, I'm not. But I suppose with the extra load, I have not been sleeping like I should. [Yes she's going to blame it ALL on her lack of sleep.]

I'm sorry to have worried you.

[onlyapparate]

[ aaah, talk like that will only make Thobari fret more. He's definitely not moving that hand now. ]

If you're taking on too much work, you should have told me! I can help you, Kallen. I can't stand seeing you so overwrought like this. You'll work yourself to death...

[She feels his hand there... actually she has. But she doesn't say anything because she doesn't mind and it's comforting.]

I'll be fine. I wouldn't want to trouble others with things I'm responsible for.

[She was never yelled at as a child... so being scolded right now is just strange.]

[onlyapparate]

[ Thobari sighs apologetically. He didn't mean to make her uncomfortable or anything. Subconsciously, perhaps, he starts rubbing her back where he's holding her. Hopefully that will calm things down. ]

It's not your fault. You've got all that extra work because of Yukimi's sick leave; no one is expecting you to take it all on by yourself.

[zealotringly.livejournal.com]

But its my duty. I cannot place it on someone else.

in person;

[onlyapparate]

Think of it not as "placing it" so much as... "sharing it."

You're not alone here, Kallen.

Thobari...

[ the hand on Kallen's back clenches softly. ]

I'm here. Don't forget that.

[zealotringly.livejournal.com]

...

I won't. I can't forget something like that.

[onlyapparate]

Good. [ retracts his hand. ]

So, see you Friday? We'll talk about lightening your workload while we're at it.

in person;

[zealotringly.livejournal.com]

...Honestly, I am fine. The lack of sleep is my fault alone,

in person;

[onlyapparate]

If you insist.

[ but his face says "I~ don't~ believe you~" ]

in person;

[zealotringly.livejournal.com]

I promise if I run into any more trouble, I will go to you.

in person;

[onlyapparate]

I'm glad to hear that. My door's always open.

in person;

[zealotringly.livejournal.com]

Understood.
