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.]

I've never thought of birds as being particularly social. But then, I suppose that butterflies don't really say that much either, idioms aside.

[foundfate]

Are you kidding? Birds live in flocks! Some of them can even learn to talk to humans. They're plenty social.

[ Okay, she can't help it, she smirks and turns, ]

Is that how you're justifying moving past the down feathers to talk to the vampires the devils and the demons here?

[foundfate]

Well someone has to do it, right? It's not like the vampires and the devils and the demons are undeserving of friends or anything.

[matchbreaker]

[ That... that makes her laugh. She thinks of her own defense of Hanyuu to Killidia. And of Orihime's.

What does demon even mean, anymore? ]

You have no idea how strange it is to hear a human say that!

[foundfate]

Well I am a pretty strange human, so it makes sense for me to say strange things.

[He...actually feels happy when he says that, instead of upset and bitter. Maybe being the weird kid isn't so bad, not if it means befriending people like this.]

[matchbreaker]

That you are, Kimihiro.

[ She nods, once, approvingly. And then claps him on the back one more time ]

I'm going to go back to my party! Consider having a fry!
