I have a dream that I want to fulfill with you...

[tsugomori]

[ Well, that was an extraordinary trial to have... it was certainly filled with many things that wouldn't be lost to the memory of most, even for weeks to come. Although, the return to "normalcy" could be something that wouldn't seem like it was wanted, it was better than the alternative to returning to anything at all.

With ease, Mikazuki find himself setting up the usual party in the usual place-- that would be the library of course. Notes have been slipped underneath the doors of others, or hung up on the walls to alert them of this post-trial "celebration" -- which was more like a get-together of some sorts now than a real party. ]


Please join us in the library again. Of course, food and drink will be provided.

- Mikazuki, Orihime, Hanyuu, & Estelle

[ The food and drink has been set out, what with there being tea, vichyssoise, cream puffs, and fish for everyone to enjoy. ]

Comments

[tsugomori]

Ah, I see.

[ There, he's finished writing the letter. ]

Well, yes. It is. It's just the way things are, and it's just -- if more people knew, it could cause more trouble in general for ...everyone back at home, let us just say. I'm not going to go around telling everyone here, especially when it is unnecessary.

[ Which is why he's keeping those who know at three, barring he has to spill the beans for whatever reason to live. But, maybe that won't happen. ]

[deofoled]

I hope it doesn't. [ It's not like he'd tell.

He pauses, because he feels like he owes the other man something, on the realization of how much he's been trusted.]

...did you want to ask me something? I know I told you my secret, but it's not really one to me, I just don't like to talk about it.

[tsugomori]

Hahaha, well...

[ He thinks about something to ask. He's not one to usually pry, but he wants to learn more and more about Killia, and he tries to shake away another feeling-- ]

Maybe tell me who Miss Lieze is? She was a friend of yours, I'm assuming? You mentioned her name to yourself that one time.

[deofoled]

Liezerota, I called her Lieze for short. She was more than a friend, she was my family. I didn't have anyone before her.

She's the one who taught me how to cook, well forced me to learn how to cook.

[ His words are quieter than usual, and though it's clearly not easy for him to talk about her he's determined to do so because Mikazuki asked.]

[tsugomori]

Ah...she sounds like she was a wonderful person.

I think it'd have been nice to meet her.

[ Well, it is clear the other man holds quite a lot of respect for Lieze, and so it is easy for him to be respectful in his own right (which he tries to do so anyway). ]

[deofoled]

She was. She taught me how to appreciate a lot of things.

[...]

She was named after a flower. I always carried a Liezerota around with me, but the Wordsmith took it like he did everything else. If you get it out of the machine, I'd appreciate if you told me. It's yellow and has five petals, and it's in a blue crystal.

[tsugomori]

[ He nods, determined. He won't forget... what are the chances, but he hopes if Killia doesn't receive it, he will get it so he can hand it off to him.

With that, he's also done with the letter...although he's not sure how to submit this. Um. ]

I promise I will return it to you if I get it out of that machine.

...I don't quite get why he'd stuff our things into something like that, by the way, but I suppose it is what it is.

[deofoled]

Thanks. [ He appreciates it.]

I don't either, but I haven't bothered to talk to him since the first time he addressed us as a group. I don't have anything to say to him, I just want to kill him.

[tsugomori]

I wonder how long the line is.

[ He'll smile sheepishly. ]

... So you've never sent him a letter or anything?

[ Mikazuki clearly has not. ]

[deofoled]

Most of us, I'd imagine. [ Though he knows a few like Mercy wouldn't want to kill him.]

No, why?

[tsugomori]

[ Unfortunate, but expected. ]

I was thinking of sending him one, but I wasn't sure what to write, so I just doodled a bunch of smiley faces and you.

[ He holds up the picture which is just a hilariously bad doodle of Killia smiling with some random emotes like smiley faces and stars. ]

How does it look?

[deofoled]

Why me?

[ Looks at the picture.]

[....]

I think it's pretty good.

[ His taste in art is actually just atrocious okay, it's probably better than he could have done.]

[tsugomori]

I don't know.

[ ... That is probably the second time he's said 'I don't know' and actually kind of didn't mean it. ]

I'm glad you like it at least. I tried very hard to illustrate how you normally look.

[deofoled]

[ Nods, appreciatively.]

I like that you remembered my wings, a lot of people here forget I have them. [ Probably because they look like a scarf half the time...]

[tsugomori]

Oh, that's a shame. It is quite apparent to me you have them. I wonder why it's missed so often?

[ He'll laugh a little.

.......He's only noticed because of that time he grabbed Killia from behind. ]

[deofoled]

I don't know, but I'm glad you noticed.

[ He is smiling a bit, sometimes it is the little things.]

[tsugomori]

Yes...

[ He'll sigh softly with a smile that seems quite lighter than his normal ones and absentmindedly begin to submit the letter without thinking. He can't help but think Killia has a nice smile. ]

[deofoled]

[ Here they are having a nice moment and--]

Wait, isn't that only supposed to be for letters?

[tsugomori]

[ He scrambles to take it out at that moment, giving Killia a sheepish smile. ]

Oh, ah, of course. Silly me, it seems I was quite distracted.

I believe it's been a long day...I must be tired!

[deofoled]

It has been. [ He's tired too, actually.]

If you're heading back to your room I'll walk you, I think I'm gonna sleep too.

[tsugomori]

[ Mikazuki places the paper into one of his pockets. Where they exist are literally a mystery.jpeg but they're probably like RPG pockets. ]

I would love to be escorted to my room, thank you.

[ ... He has a funny idea, and holds out his hand to Killia for him to take. ]

[deofoled]

Hm? Oh are you that tired? [ He takes Mikazuki's hand assuming he just needs to be lead or he'll get lost, because he's seen it happen before.]

[tsugomori]

[ He'll end up laughing a little to himself, he can't help it. ]

...Yes, yes, I am.

[ And then off they go! ]

[deofoled]

[ He doesn't get why the other man is laughing a bit but it really doesn't bother him. He figures it's just some joke he missed or something, which happens more often than not. But he's happy to be doing this all the same, as he's pretty much accepted that he really does like Mikazuki's company, so there's a lot less fight involved than he'd have with anyone else.

He probably has a small smile on his face too.]
