[ It's been a few days since the first arrivals trickled in to this iteration of the monastery, and there's been some improvement to the area, at least.
Which is fortunate, really, because the clouds have finally decided to open up and let out a torrential downpour.
The grass out in the courtyard almost immediately becomes saturated with water, squishing beneath people's feet as they step through it. Drainage in the monastery is a real problem in some parts, particularly near the marketplace area. Slowly, as time passes, pools begin to form, though some of the remaining debris serves as a decent buffer between the water and whatever crates merchants may have left behind. It may be a good idea to salvage some of that, though it's not likely to be ruined thanks to said debris. In general, it's likely a rude awakening for any new arrivals.
Of course, some would say that rainy days are the best when it comes to fishing; some would even say they're right, given how the fish seem to be out in droves at the lake. If one didn't mind potentially getting soaked, they could bring in a real haul during this rainstorm. The dining hall is not nearly as well stocked as it had been in its heyday, so this could potentially be beneficial for the community.
For some, it's likely best to stay inside and find shelter from the rain. Thankfully, most of the monastery roofing seems to be intact, save for a few sizeable holes in the cathedral. Still, that doesn't mean there isn't a leak here and there, so watch your step, particularly in the dining hall and the second floor of the dormitories as well. It might not be a bad idea to put a few buckets out to catch all that water . . . ]

[[ MORE HOUSEKEEPING, hey what's up guys:
- please PM this journal if there are more setting changes you'd like to be noted! i.e. if your character did some sprucing up in the greenhouse, just let me know and I will update the setting page accordingly.
- as noted on the "mod" plurk, I'll try putting up open posts roughly once a week going forward. it'll depend on how things are going, no big. ]]
no subject
No, not yet. I wanted to get these out of the downpour as soon as possible. Hopefully they dry out before nighttime...
no subject
[The fishing pond isn't an area he wanted to visit again soon due to certain reasons, one of which starts with the letter "D", but he isn't about to worry Bernadetta with it.]
If we reduce the amount of quilts to two, the rope will probably hold. I can bring one into my room if that works for you.
[Since, if Bernadetta could have hung them in her room, he doubts she would be here in the classroom right now.]
no subject
Oh, sure, if you want one. I'm hoping I got them out before the stuffing got too soggy...
[...actually...]
How is the second floor holding up? Is your room okay?
no subject
[Felix says, selecting the center quilt. As the cloths shift to occupy the vacated space, he spots the beginnings of a fourth quilt by the table, furrowing his brows at it.]
Did you make these all on your own?
no subject
[Which is why he might notice . some extra stitching repairing some of the large squares on the blanket in his hands.]
He had salvaged a lot of linens and... well, I like sewing, so...
no subject
[The revelation causes Felix's eyes to widen with shock, and he very much nearly drops the quilt he is holding. On reflex, he almost says he doesn't want it after all, but considering how Bernadetta gets about these kinds of things, he decides to bite his tongue.
Plus, he did need one, and if Bernadetta was giving them away...
He takes a moment to clear his throat and settle back into an unaffected expression.]
A-Anyway. You did a good job on them.
no subject
[They're friends now, the biggest plot twist of all.]
...oh! Oh, I... thank you. I tried my best, even if they're nothing fancy.
[She could have made them fancy, but she sacrificed decorative flair for speed. There are a lot more than three people who need blankets, here.]
no subject
Making this is no joke when you're limited by the materials you have on hand. Or even when you have all the material you need.
[He's familiar with the process, but it's never been his cup of tea.]
It's a miracle you found everything you needed.
no subject
[She coughs lightly and rubs at her suddenly reddened cheek.]
I’m, well... I sort of had some nice thread squirreled away under the floor in my room, and... a small embroidery kit on me, when I got here. It... calms me down, before battles.
no subject
That sounds like an interesting technique--you should teach me sometime.
[Felix says, as if he were talking about something no different from a breathing exercise. Maybe it would also help him get to the bottom of Bernadetta's interesting battle technique...]
no subject
[She gapes at him.
The headpat was categorically unexpected all on its own, so she's left floundering for an appropriate response. Adding praise and a request for lessons? From her? Does he have the right person...?]
no subject
[Felix throws her a puzzled look as he extracts his hand from her hair.]
You don't want to...?
no subject
[Give her a moment, as she . cups her cheeks in her hands. Bernie.EXE has crashed.]
Y-Your... hand...
no subject
[Somehow, Felix hasn't quite caught on regarding the source of the crash.]
You didn't like it?
no subject
[How to put this?]
I-I was surprised. You never did that sort of thing, when we were students...
no subject
That has Felix scratching the back of his neck, partially in embarrassment.]
Well, I just felt like doing it.
[I-it's not like he cares for you, b-baka!]
no subject
[She reaches up, touching her own hair gingerly.]
I think... it's been a long time, since somebody did that for me. Th-thanks, I think.
no subject
[And that has Felix pressing a hand to his forehead, averting his gaze as color rushes to his cheeks.]
So that means I get to do it sometime again, then.
no subject
[...that was a weird jumble of ‘you look nice’ and ‘it’s nice to see it’ but she’ll take it.]
no subject
[Perhaps it's good that he's already red that moment, for the comment causes him no shortage of embarrassment as well. What the hell is that supposed to mean?!]
Well, too bad that's a one-off thing.
[Compliments about anything but his sword work are something foreign, to say the least of it.]
no subject
[She went and ruined everything, didn't she?!]
D-Don't do anything drastic on my account!
no subject
Why would I?
[Shock and confusion cross his features, taken aback by Bernadetta's rather... extreme reaction.]
no subject
[Bernadetta................]
no subject
No, I-- Ugh...
[Felix sighs, shaking his head as he rubs the back of his neck awkwardly before letting his hand fall to the side.]
Look, I'm... it's not like I can stop something like that, okay? Just don't let me catch you staring at me when I do.
[It's really embarrassing, after all.]
