Fencing Club, 5pm, Salle.

Peter arrived at the salle a bit later than he generally would. He hurried in to set up as others came into the salle.

"I apologise, I don't have a demonstration set up this week from anyone, so I think this shall be a rather basic week. Pair off or work on your forms alone if you like. Those of you who are starting out, if you pair off with each, we can work on some general block and attack sequences."

Setsuna had really considered just skipping fencing today. She really had. But she knew Peter would worry if she didn't at least show up. As soon as she signed in, she tried to will herself into wanting to practise but...just...couldn't. Looking at the practise blades still made her hands twitch, sure, but not in an eager, excited way like it used to.

Drawing in a deep breath, she went to talk to him. "Peter? I...I'm sorry. I'm not...feeling very well today. Is it okay if I just skip out today? Or maybe just sit back and watch? I'll stay here and watch if you prefer..."

Peter looked at her with concern. "Of course, you're not required to stay at all. Is there anything I can do?"

"Maybe I'll just watch for a little bit, then." Setsuna shook her head. "And it's no...big deal. Just not feeling well today, that's all."

She didn't need to mention to him that it was because the mere thought of touching a sword right now made her stomach turn, right? Right.

"I hope you feel better quite soon then," Peter replied. "Were you ill all weekend or did you have visitors?"

"I, um..." Setsuna scratched her nose a little. "I did have some visitors, and I started not feeling well after they left."

Because that was true. It just didn't include that those visitors were the reason for her "illness."

"I'm sorry," Peter said with a rueful smile. "Seems like most people started feeling better after their visitors left."

Setsuna allowed a small smile and a little breath of a laugh. "Yeah. Well, I think I may have just gotten a bit careless over the weekend with everything going on and caught a little bug, is all."

"Take care of yourself then," Peter replied. "Stay if you like, but perhaps consider going to rest?"

Setsuna nodded; she should have figured that he'd say something like that. But she didn't really need rest, and she had nothing better to do besides sit and feel worse about herself, so she just hung around to watch, but would leave half-way through to pursue the suggested "rest."
