Love of mine, someday you will die, but I'll be close behind
Please join us in the greenhouse should you feel able or need company. There will be food and comfort. None of us should be alone right now.
-Hanyuu, Jasper, and Silver
[That's the note that gets slid under everyone's doors after such a somber and saddening trial; it's not like it's going to be a big ordeal anymore given how few of them there are, but that doesn't mean that they should spend it alone.
The location of their setup is the greenhouse! ...The greenhouse has had a new addition; there is a massive blanket fort set up using an absurd amount of rope, blankets, and duct tape. The blankets span across three trees to make a considerable amount of space roughly shaped like a triangle for them to hang out under. Under the fort is a small pile of scissors taken from the sewing and art rooms. Next to them are a couple of flower crowns. They're relatively simple and don't involve many different flowers, but they're good examples of what the pile of scissors are there for.
There's also food, of course; a blanket is laid out on the floor with a large set of plates, a massive amount of eggs and rice, some of Elda's spicy fries, and... Sandwiches. Jasper's made everyone sandwiches, and the sandwiches are absolutely absurd in size due to how many cold cuts she's stacked into them. But don't worry! They aren't all meat. There's a lot of mustard, too. Luckily, they're still of a reasonably edible size.]

[ Elda does get it, to some extent. Largely because she doesn't have it, but you'd think that a sword like him would ]
no subject
[She motions vaguely.]
Even if it were an enemy, I would want to give them a fighting chance. To do so otherwise wouldn't be excusable.
no subject
[ Elda asks, idly. She's... sort of got an answer, but it's not fully formed yet. ]
no subject
I would give them the upper hand-- I would tell them how to kill a Gem.
no subject
[ A beat, and... ]
... The problem, of course, is that you could not ensure that duel would be to the death. You could not ensure the salvation of the dead like that. [ . . . ] As I told Kimihiro, if he had chosen me, I would not kill Mikazuki. Nor, for that matter, would I kill you.
no subject
Maybe it's too noble for someone like the Wordsmith. We don't really know how he operates, do we?
There are so few of us now. Is he really going to keep this up?
no subject
Did you hear him at the trial today?
no subject
Maybe he's getting desperate.
no subject
[ . . . ]
This is an experiment to him. A callous, demented one to be sure, but often he would put out the incentive and watch the results, dispassionately. The annoyance he's shown... is different.
no subject
And apparently he's not very good at it.
He must be aware we're not going to cooperate with him for much longer.
no subject
[ And then Hanyuu's deal isn't hers to say ]
... I suspect this experiment is nearing the end for him. Given his actions, I wonder if it's not reaching the conclusion he wanted.
no subject
If that was what he wanted, he's sorely mistaken.
no subject
Indeed, it is not.
[ . . . ]
We will defeat him, Jasper. In fact, I begin to doubt we will lose very many more of us, now.
no subject
We need our numbers, now.
no subject
... I can think of few things which would be a motive to me, now.
no subject
[She doesn't sound judgemental, just curious.]
no subject
[ . . . ]
Assuming he can still erase people from existence, if my family was threatened-
That would be a serious choice, for me.
no subject
no subject
[ Hope, more like. ]
... Regardless, though. At this point, it would be a choice. Even this week... no, perhaps more so last week. It was hard to chose inaction.
[ Or so she tells herself.
... Also she's picking out some flowers and starting to make a new crown ]
no subject
We might not have a lot of time.
no subject
... And then holds out the crown she's been working on, half-done ]
Do you want this, when its done?
no subject
Sure.
[It looks pretty! And she's not used to wearing pretty things.]
no subject
[ and it'll be a pretty one! Mostly yellow roses. But, still.
It'll look fine on her. ]
no subject
no subject
[ For her.
Sort of. ]
