[ shiro lays a hand on her shoulder, and riza smiles back at him, reaching up at set her hand on his wrist. ]
I know. [ and then she squeezes his wrist gently, before letting go of it. ] I'm just asking you to be careful with regards to over working, because I know how easy that can be for people like you. [ people like shiro, people like roy. there's a balance to be had, but all she can do is remind them to keep rest in mind.
and then shiro says you never have to apologize and riza's smile grows a little more - playful, almost. ]
I wasn't apologizing for speaking my mind. I was apologizing because it sounded like I was reprimanding you. But I'm glad you'll listen all the same.
I didn't take it as a reprimand. You're worried and for good reason. [His smile shifts growing a little lighter and brightens up his grey eyes. It had sounded like reasonable advice to him. Reprimand or no, it isn't wrong.]
And I'll be careful. ...I know just how easy it would be to push it too far. [He won't let himself slip like that. The team needs his support and he wants to be there for them.]
...and I have a few people to remind they should pace themselves. [His smile turns wry and a little playful too.] If I overdo it what kind of example I am setting?
Anyway, I'm sticking to the ground and on foot or vehicle for at least a week. Shapeshifting requires a lot of energy.
[ which is more of a joke than anything. she's not worried about if her concerns are really nagging. usually they have to be to get roy to do much of anything. when his smile gets more playful, she gives a small snort. ]
If they catch you pushing too hard, they'll never listen to you again. A leader might need to think about that.
[ and then she shrugs, whatever tension that might have still been between them falling away. ]
Probably for the better. At least until your energy is back up again. [ she pauses, then looks back to him, her look a little mor egentle. concerned. ] How is Keith handling it?
