[Fred was somewhat reassured by the hug--it seemed to be as strong as she remembered, or just about. As he released her, she nodded to her other friend.] Hello, Bell. What a fine idea. [She wasn't really affected by the temperature of the air, but it would be good for Gai to go inside. She had no idea how long they had been out on the porch, and she didn't want him to catch a cold on top of his injuries... he pushed himself too much. It worried her, sometimes.]

A glass of water would be lovely, if you would be so kind. [She glanced sidelong at Bell as she made her request, rather hoping he would take the hint and get her the water before Gai could charge--or rather, limp--off to get it himself.]
