i feel the love, and i feel it burn, down this river every turn

[oyashiromama]

[The trial, as usual, was taxing. It's for different reasons every week, but what it all comes down to is there are fewer of them than there were, and that keeps on happening. The note comes, as it always does, earlier than last week, but still with some delay. There's a note slipped under everyone's door. ...One under Gold's door because of course Silver will be staying there, she knows.]

Please come to the dining room, if you would like not to be alone. There will be food, and there will be some cards and board games if you need a distraction.

- Hanyuu & Elda

[True to that, there are a variety of foods. It's nothing too fancy. Rice, grilled fish, eggs in various styles. ...No creampuffs this time, it seems Hanyuu thought that would be a little in poor taste. Also a bunch of fries? ...Really spicy fries, like incredibly so.

On a far table, board games brought from the games room have been left out, along with many decks of cards.]

[ravagers]

Well... You don't seem like the kind of guy who relies on wishes to get what he wants.

[ A shrug. And, well... nothing is guaranteed. So. ]

Besides, even if you don't think the same, you're a friend.

[plegia]

[...remind him to tell you more about the fire emblem sometime...]

A friend.

[...]

You really need to consider that one again.

[WHAT IS HE SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THAT, VANILLE WHY]

[ravagers]

Nope.

[ accept it. ]

But if it's weird for you I won't mention it again.

[plegia]

Why are you like this? Why can't you be like Estelle or Emmeryn?

[If you were like Estelle it'd just be a matter of being aggressively himself and threatening you for awhile and if you were like Emmeryn, he'd hate you immediately. It'd be easy!! But no. Of course not. Because nothing in Gangrel's life can ever be easy.]

[ravagers]

Eh? Why am I like what?

[ She genuinely doesn't know!! She's got a feeling though. ]

[plegia]

You're... You're nice, even to people who don't deserve it! I've done nothing to earn your trust or your... friendship.

[it sounds like saying the word is painful, it might actually be because gangrel has no friends ever]

[ravagers]

[ SHRUG ]

You listened to me talk. And made me feel better. And you confided in me, little though it was.

[ She nods. ]

So, that means a lot to me.

[plegia]

[...]

I guess I can't really fault you for any of that. But still, watch who you befriend. Some people aren't worth the effort.

[ravagers]

Hehe. I know.

[ She folds her hands in front of herself. ]

So... have you gotten anything to eat? Or drink? I could make you some tea, if you'd like.

[plegia]

Well, I can't turn down food. I haven't eaten much today.

[Besides some cookies at the trial... which Killia gave him... Oh. Shit, he might have another feeling.]

[ravagers]

Then you should definitely get something. I can bring it here for you, too.

[plegia]

You really are too helpful.

[SIIIIGH....]

But I suppose I appreciate it, just this once.

[ravagers]

Aw, I just do what I can.

[ She nods, though. ]

Be back in a flash!

[ there she go ]

[plegia]

[You really are entirely too nice to him, Vanille. But it's fine, he'll wait!!]
