Does... does anyone know what I can do to help? I can dig holes and tunnels really quickly... maybe I could help with the barricades? I just... don't know what else...

[Simon is hanging around outside the house he and Kamina have shared for a while, looking rather pathetic, sitting in the dirt and sharpening his drill. The house is way too big and lonely for just one person, especially when he's used to living with someone as loud and outgoing as Kamina, so he doesn't really want to be inside right now.

He's been suitably freaked out since the sacrifice post and hasn't really talked to anyone about it, and with both Cloud and Kamina gone now and the entire village working away at protecting it from whatever's coming, he feels pretty lost in the flow of things. Bother? Console? Harass? W/E D| ]

Y... yeah. But it's okay, you can think whatever you want.

Mm. Maybe I need to get to know him more, once he gets back! Luke was really annoying at first, too, but now he's okay.

A friend of yours?

Yup. Hey, when things settle down here, you should really meet all my friends!

I wish I had more friends to introduce you too. I can't even keep my promise to bring Papa to the springs.

[A-aaw, Simon. She would move to give you another hug, but she knows by now that it'd be a touch too awkward.] That's okay, I don't know if I would've been able to drag the Colonel all the way up there, anyway. The springs will just have to stay our secret place, I guess!

[He fidgets at that, blushing immediately and feeling rather humbled. The ease in which she found reasons for him to feel better was incredible, as if it was Kamina helping him even though he was gone.]

...Thanks, Anise. You're really good at this...

It's no problem! And I don't know if I'm as good as you think... I mean, I just don't want to see you down like that, you know? So you've gotta keep your chin up, Simon!

That's enough for me. A lot more than enough. Nobody used to care except aniki... I'm glad I have a friend like you, now.

[And that, in turn, makes Anise blush. Just now, Simon reminded her so much of Ion - the same openness and sincerity, and the same simple appreciation for being a friend.]

Yeah, well, it's no good if you let yourself stay that way, so... I guess you can count on me to be there when you're down.

[He's just happy to have someone like you around, Anise :|b]

And... and I'll try to help you cheer up when you need it, too! I promise!

[She smiles. For such an unassuming and shy kid, she's a little surprised that she really enjoys his company, too.]

That means a lot, Simon. Thank you. ♥
