“Ka~ mi~ na~ ri~.”
Oh no…
Oh no…
Oh no, no, no, no, no…
Kaminari was always busy, always healing, always needed, especially during this chaotic time, so there was no way she thought of taking any breaks beyond the absolutely required, and she had skipped her last two. Technically, she was way, way overdo for a break. But when she heard that cheerful, joyful, sing-songy voice come from around the corner, she wasn’t sure that was going to be allowed. Kaminari cautiously raised her head, eyes popping up over a large binder to Mai. She tried to pop back down and go unseen, but Mai came around the corner, popping a gift out of her sack, causing Kaminari to raise a curious eyebrow.
Still, she had work to do, no matter how enticing that little container was. Kaminari let Mai walk out of the tent and immediately returned to her paperwork, assuming Mai would get the hint. She was not expecting the return, however, and was suddenly grabbed by the arm and dragged from her workspace like a child. Kaminari sighed and relented as she followed Mai’s bubbly bouncing butt out into the sunlight. They found a grassy spot away from everything and Kaminari sat down, picking up her ice cream, and immediately digging in. It was her favorite flavor and would help give her a boost: coffee. A tolerable usage of bribery...
"I'm doing as well as I can be with all this... Putting people back together can be exhausting after the thirty-hour mark..." Kaminari said, half speaking with a spoon in her mouth. "What about you? You seem as bright and cheerful as always... It's like it hasn't affected you at all."

Kaminari often found herself at a loss for words around Mai. Her ability to just… deal was impressive, though Kaminari also wondered whether Mai was immature or insane sometimes. She was humorously certain it was one of those. There was no way someone could be this cheerful when they had gone through so much loss like this. Even in seeing that brief dip in Mai’s joyous demeanor, it was like she bounced right back.
"Whatever that is, you should give me a bit of it..." Kaminari said and then gave Mai a friendly nudge before chuckling. She took a big bite of her ice cream, but didn't shiver like Mai did. "Thanks for this... I really did need a break..." Kaminari said, yawning. She could fall asleep any minute if she relaxed too much, but knew she couldn't do that.
"Did you get into any fights out there? Save any lives?"

‘So, even you had a rough time of it,’ Kaminari thought as she took note of that shift in Mai’s tone. It felt horrible to think, but she was kind of relieved that Mai felt sadness, even for that moment. If she hadn’t Kaminari might have thought her a robot of some sort. That sadness let a bit more of Mai’s humanity come through, even if it was for a brief amount of time. Seeing that bubbly, cheerful nature return was still a hopeful sign for Kaminari. Things would likely get better.
"Great job, Mai," Kaminari nodded, eating a bit of her ice cream. It seemed the coffee in it wasn't working as quickly as she'd like. With so much to do, Kaminari was going to need some spirit fortification pills to continue to work through all of this. "I never got to battle, but I was able to save the lives of quite a few that almost slipped away... You remember that date I went on? He brought friends in, and now I'm gonna end up taking him to lunch to make up for my crap-tastic attitude."
