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. ]

So is that the thing you're not forgiving me for, or is it something else?

[And that's...sudden, and it's fucking uncalled for, but you know what, that's just how things are going to be today.]

[matchbreaker]

Not you.

[ A beat ]

I don't give a hoot about humans killing each other, that's happened my entire life. [ . . ] But what happened to the vampires of Europe is something I'll never forgive any human for.

[ And yet... here she is. Talking to a human, apologizing (sort of) to him, and working through her grief about a third ]

Not you in particular.

[alchemicals]

Okay. Good. Fine. You hate me as much as you hate everyone else, but it's not personal. Anything else?

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . Hah.

She tries to say "I don't hate you," but those words die in her throat. She knows they're shallow, particularly from someone like her. She isn't sure she could make them sound true to herself, much less someone else. ]

Not really.

[ "I'm sorry it happened the way it did" "I felt like I had to say that?" "I didn't suspect you this time" - what does she even say. ]

I'm just still grateful.

[ Apparently that.

That said, she knows she's no help to someone in his mood, so she finally hop off the counter, getting to her feet so she can return to the door ]
