What: Chores, and some private catch-ups.

Nita's able to bounce back from the mission much more easily than last time - no huge magics, just the slow drain of wizardry and losing people alike.

There are some people she knows she needs to talk to, but she doesn't precisely need to hunt them down - after all, she's got rooms to clean. She'll get to them eventually.

She has time for more friendly chats, as well - or a helping hand or two!

"No jumping the tracks yet," he agrees with the tiniest of smirks. "As much as I'd like to give certain people a piece of me."

But he moves to stand next to her, his tone noticeably softer. "And we haven't lost everyone yet. Keep that in mind."

"I know the feeling," Nita says, rather emphatically.

"..." Falling silent again, she puts some of her equipment away as well - then:

"Thank you, Kaiba. I needed to hear that."

Her shoulders relax a little, too. A load lifted.

It's weighing on all of them. The least he can do is keep the group moving. But as Kaiba watches her, an odd thought pops into his head.

Should he...?

As they move to leave the room, he drops a hand on her shoulder and squeezes gently. That was what people did in this situation, right?

"You need any more help, call me."

And Kaiba is rewarded with - not surprise.

Nita would never say she'd been surprised. But her eyes widen, and then she smiles.

"I will. And you can do the same, Kaiba."
