(Note: Terry gave Kido his phone. Bought his own flipphone on 8/26!)

He has a stall set up in the market street for locating things. Feel free to thread it out with an inbox action thread or handwave it!

Right. I'll keep you in mind. It'll probably be useful tomorrow.

[ But, oh, right. She'd almost forgotten about those papers. But he goes ahead and says that and she takes the stack out of her bag and folds them in half, transferring them to her jacket pocket. She doesn't always carry a bag with her, unless she's got something heavy or bulky she needs to carry like the cans of cat food, but she's never without her jacket. It works. ]

Tomorrow...?

[ He has some... sort of feeling. He can't tell whether it's good or bad. ]

What's happening tomorrow other than the festival?

[reveilation]

Don't worry about it.

[ She leaves him be to turn to the corner so she can say bye to the cats before leaving. ]

[ HE. IS GOING TO WORRY ABOUT IT!! Kido hasn't given him a satisfying answer, so he'll quietly get up from his chair and attempt to hug Kido from the back because he wants a goodbye hug. This will probably end poorly, but sometimes his one brain cell works and he'll try to have his arms holding Kido's down too so that, hopefully, she doesn't punch him on reflex. ]

[ SHE WOULD PUNCH HIM ON REFLEX BUT SHE'S FACING THE WRONG WAY FOR THAT she can't even elbow him in the face because her arms are pinned, so Terry's saved from having a concussion the day before discharge. Instead, all she can do is splutter some sort of surprised shout while trying to turn around so she can properly clock him in the face. ]

[ He lets go, and is clearly expecting a punch to the face, so for the first time since their encounter, he actually dodges it by ducking his head. It's not that his affection for Kido has changed, but rather, he doesn't want to stay in the hospital more than he has to at this point for various reasons, but also festival!! That's clearly important. ]

I'm not sorry for that!

[ ... That's not what he meant to say, but he doesn't really pause. ]

See you tomorrow, Kido!

[ And he just. closes the door on her so that she doesn't punch him again. lmao... ]

[reveilation]

Hey—! Open up, you bastard!!

[ Watch Kido get kicked out of the hospital for yelling and pounding on the door and see if she even bothers coming back tomorrow morning to pick him up!!!

But it'd be a real pain to have that happen, so just as the nurses start running down the hall to see what the commotion is all about, Kido erases her presence and makes herself disappear, back pressed flat against the wall so she wouldn't be in anybody's way. She'll just quietly slip out while the nurses come into Terry's room to question him about what that shouting was all about, he can deal with it. ]
