[Lili doesn't even want to be here.

She has Ryoki staying at her apartment, and she'd feel a lot better if she were back there with him. At the same time, she knows that if she doesn't stay active, she's only going to feel worse, and longer. So, while she doesn't feel like training, she decides to spend some time there near the end of the session, to see if she can find some motivation.

So far, she's found none, and is sitting on the sidelines picking at a loose string on her skirt, instead.]

[Gai takes a seat behind her, deliberately being loud enough to be heard by anyone paying attention.]

You do not look happy. ...I know you are not really happy, but... you look less happy than usual.

[Lili turns her head to acknowledge him, and then turns back around to keep picking at her clothes.]

What is that supposed to mean?

[Gai rubs the back of his neck.]

It is supposed to mean that I know you do not like it here, but you look like something is wrong. But it was also supposed to be subtle so you could deny things without having to actually deny them if you wanted space, but now I have said that so it will not work.

[She lets out an amused puff of air that would have been a laugh, under different circumstances.]

I'm not always unhappy. I've come to terms with being here.

That is good, coming to terms. But you are unhappy today, I think. Would you like to talk about it? Or sit. I can sit for a time.

Someone important to me was sent home, where he will die before very long.

[Gai looks down. His voice is soft when he speaks again.]

I am sorry. There is little else I can say. Would you like a hug?

[Lili turns again, properly shifting her attention this time.]

...alright.

[It's more awkward when you ask than when you just do it, but oh well.]

[Gai doesn't want to upset her when she's already down. Happily he leans in and holds her, giving her upper back a gentle rub.]

I find hugs help most things. They may not fix, but they help.

[She likes all physical contact, not just fighting! Meaning that she appreciates it, and hugs him back.]

I agree. Thank you, Gai.

If you keep pulling that, you'll have no skirt...

You wouldn't complain, would you?

Well... Out here it would be interesting...

It'd be a little cold.

You're only worried about the cold..?

[Lili smiles, then looks down, shaking her head.]

I don't think I can play with you, right now.

[That's not hard to catch. The smile fades and he crouches down with a look of concern.]

What's wrong, Lili?

Leo's gone home. I've done plenty of talking about it, and I don't want to do any more. That's all you need to know.

[Especially not with him.]

[It involved Leo, so Minato already knows that talking about it wouldn't be a good idea. Instead, he silently lowers to his knees and reaches over to cover her hands.]

[Alarmed, she pulls her hands away.]

What are you doing?

I'd expect you to be fighting.

[Jules is in far from the best of moods either, although for far different reasons than Lili. He's responded, for once, by keeping himself busier than usual, instead of his typical habit of purposelessly drifting around the training area.

Lili, however, is worth making time for -- if only because she's familiar.]

I'm...

[Exhausted. Not in the mood. Hell if she knows.]

I'm just watching, today.

I can't really say that I blame you. There's been a lot going on lately -- not fights, just... things.

[That's more about himself, really, but there's a mild curiosity as to what's bothering her.]

You're right.

[But she's not going to spill her guts to everyone who shows a mild interest.]
