i'll wait, so show me why you're strong

[ Generally, people need time to cope and gather themselves after a... thing... like that. Unfortunately, that's not how Vanille sees it. Her thing is avoid, and once she gets out of that hellhole that's the courtroom, she makes her way to the supplies closet, then to the library. She spends some time setting up things, pushing things aside to make room. Once she's finished, and she's met up with the Party Brigade, she makes enough invitations for everyone. She slips them under everyone's doors, or hands them out if she sees someone walking around.



Inside the library, there are candles set up to provide some soft, comforting lighting. There are pots of tea, courtesy of Mercy, pancakes made by Viktor, and books (picked out by Estelle, of course) laid out on the surrounding tables. The others have provided their own touches, and Vanille's even managed to make something: sugar cookies, which are actually very good. They're flavored lightly with all sorts of flavors--not all in the same cookie, okay--and each plate is marked with whatever flavor she's put in them.

After a successful trial, it's healthy to indulge, right? Let's mingle. ]

[ He's so used to doing things 'my-pace'... ]

Oh, it's no problem at all. After all, hot beverages like tea can help calm nerves and soothe the soul.

[ He'll be pouring their cups now. ]

[plegia]

Not really something I need, but the thought's appreciated, I guess.

[It's kind of nice, maybe. He's not really a big fan of tea, but it's something he didn't have to make, so!!! Free stuff is always good.]

[tsugomori]

[ He'll nod, and hold him the cup of tea with gloved hands. ]

Careful, it is a little hot. So you may want to wait on drinking it for a bit, but here it is.

[plegia]

I don't plan on burning my mouth, don't worry.

[He'll take the cup, but he'll set it down while it cools.

...]

Do you plan on doing this for everyone? You'll be at it all night.

[tsugomori]

Well, everyone that I can.

[ He gives a little shrug. ]

Even if I am, it's a small price to pay, especially after what had just happened.

[plegia]

Careful, people will take advantage of kindness like that.

[It's sarcastic of course, because he figures you don't need to be seriously warned about that.]

[tsugomori]

That they would, wouldn't they?

[ Mikazuki manages to make a laugh at that; he figures the man was being rather not too serious about his comment. But still, it gives him an entertaining thought. ]

It would be interesting if someone did try, at the very least.
