((I find myself apologizing a lot lately and here I go again. I'm sorry that I haven't been around so much lately. I've been focusing a lot on my social life which since moving has needed it...hell my social life has always needed attention since it has been neglected since the beginning of time. I've been enjoying hanging out with old and new friends, but now I'm buckling down with a ton of work. I have a new receptionist job at a doctors office which I will be putting in 40 hours with hopes of being trained into higher positions. It's a good step for me, but in the meantime, I will also be keeping my serving job part time. It'll mean I'll be even more distracted than usual and more tired than before. I will make time for old replies but please if I owe you a reply (and I'll try to tag who I can remember) and you are tired of waiting or just prefer it to be dropped let me know. Otherwise I will work on it eventually but no promises.))

Rose had never been very good at watching her step when her mind was occupied. When she’d been a girl and thinking of new games to play once she got home from school, she was just as distracted as when she was wondering where the Doctor was while walking around aimlessly.

"I’m so sorry,” she apologised to the woman she’d bumped into, shaking her head, “I really am. Didn’t mean to bump into you like that at all!”

Kathryn pushed a small box towards the other woman. It was nothing much, just simply a calligraphy kit with some candy in it, but she hoped it would do. "I just-I just wanted to say thank you, Yin. Thank you for sticking around-and happy Valentine's Day."

"Oh thank you very much, Kathryn," Yin Niao replied. The corners of her lip tilted upwards to form a smile, 

"You didn't have to get my anything, really," the Xingese added before holding up a small box to present as a gift.

"Here, my mother thought it would be a good idea to make of these chocolates. Made a little too much though..." she said with a bit of a sheepish laugh. "I thought you would maybe like these, even if giving chocolates to another is over done...Don't worry, they're edible."

Since she was the one who killed dinner, Riza was almost always the one to cook it, too.  With no one around to teach her, each meal was an experiment of patience and luck.  Having someone else cook is a novelty to her--and now that she's older and occupied, she relies mostly on takeaway and coffee.

The first few weeks after Ishval, Riza hardly spoke to anyone.  She answered the doctors' questions only to a point--she would never reveal who had brought her to the aid station, who had first tended and dressed the wounds on her back.  She oscillated wildly between hatred and relief, and could not trust herself to speak his name.  Only when she was deemed fit to return to duty, when she was assigned to Eastern Command and saw his name on the roster, only then could she breathe deep and put on a smile and move forward.
