[Camera feed comes in at rather awkward moments sometimes. In this case, it's while Nabooru's in the midst of stifling a yawn.

She slouches over and stares at her camera, seemingly unamused - or something like it.]

Hello kids, cranky old men, potential dancers, and cohorts.

Are you all having a good time? I had a blind date with that Edward guy, and he doesn't seem so bad. He was pretty nice actually. How many of you got stuck with people you hated?

[She pauses to cover her mouth with her right hand and a few moments later withdraws it.]

Hold that thought.
Any of you know of good sleep remedies?

[If anyone says 'a good lay' or its equivalent, she's going to punch them in the face.]

[There was another nod given and she settled a hand upon her hip.]

Are you on your way out, Knuckles?

[Perhaps he had a pretty blonde to attend to.]

[monotreme-101.livejournal.com]

I thought I'd go get some shuteye in before morning, yeah. If that's OK with you? I mean, if you still need company, I can hang a while.

[No pretty blondes this evening. Just his regular bed and a solid five hours of rest before early morning training.]

[thedesertrose]

Yeah. That's totally fine with me.

[Nabooru opened the door for him carefully with a bit of a light smile.]

Thanks again. I'm not sure you know just how much I appreciate you, Knuckles. I don't say it because that's not my style, but you're a necessary asset in my life.

Just so long as I'm useful enough to keep around, I can deal with that.

[He chuckled as he walked past her and out into the hallway.]

Good luck with this whole... situation. I meant what I said, you need any help? You see me first. Even if it's knocking a couple guys' heads together to keep 'em in line.

[His tone softened just a little.

You're a great lady, Nabooru. Any guy would be lucky to have your attention. Don't you forget it, either.

[She stopped and stared at him. And then she did something that was very her. She laughed it off.]

Hah. I'm definitely something like that. I'll keep that in mind.

[She doubted Byrne felt that way. Or Shinon, for that matter. Or... any of the others. But then, that wasn't really any of her business.]

[monotreme-101.livejournal.com]

See that you do! Catch you later, pal.

[He gave her a wave and walked off down the hallway, swinging his arms. He felt like he'd done some good this evening. Maybe not much, but as much as he was able in a situation like this.]
