Around 10 o' clock, naturally. This will give us plenty of time to wake up and have breakfast.

[...he had a feeling she was going to say that. Adachi let out a groan, and there was a thump. His voice was muffled when he spoke again.]

I-I'll just set my alarm...

[Voice]

[damselled]

See that you do, darling. I do so despise tardiness.

[And Adachi, you do not want to be on the receiving end of her tsun... or her parasol]

[Voice]

[sleight_of_hand]

[Oh boy does he get the message.]

R-right. Need the practice and all...

[Voice]

[damselled]

Excellent. I am glad we understand one another.

[Oh, they're all fine when they're this size...
He smiles widely, then pauses-]

Um. I think so. I still miss ma and dad but everyone's been really nice here.

[damselled]

I'm certain your parents are alright, Kanji. Is there anything I may do to help?

Re: [Video]

[realmenknitplushies]

Um ... I dunno ...

[All serious and frowny-face here.]

[Video]

[damselled]

You mustn't be too shy to say what you want, Kanji. The worse a person can say to a request is "no", after all.

Re: [Video]

[realmenknitplushies]

I... I guess...

[Or they can call him stupid or weird.]

[Video]

[damselled]

You "guess"? Come now, dear, surely you can be bolder than that.

[A thought hits her, and then:]

Are you nervous about asking for something? You needn't be.

Re: [Video]

[realmenknitplushies]

I'm not nervous!

[Sure, kiddo. Sure.]

I just. Um. Souji-san and Yosuke-san aren't here and I ran outta stuff...

[Video]

[damselled]

They left you alone?

[Oh, hell no.]

I see. What do you need?

Re: [Video]

[realmenknitplushies]

Um...

[Well, by 'not here', it's hardly been that long. But for him...]

Just, um, paper and stuff? Or some more yarn?

[Video]

[damselled]

I'm afraid I lack yarn, but I do have paper, if you like.

Re: [Video]

[realmenknitplushies]

Mhm! [Enthusiastic smile and nodding right here. Shame the kid doesn't know what his powers are, really...]

[Video]

[damselled]

Where are you, darling?

D523 afternoon, voice

[windbreak]

[He debates with himself about this for quite a while, but - it's not weird for him to want all of his friends to get together and get along, is it? Even if she technically, uh... isn't she...?

Oh, whatever. Reminding himself not to take it personally once she turns out to be busy anyway, he hits the call button.]

H-Hey there, Maribelle! How's it going?

[voice]

[damselled]

It's going rather well, thank you. And how are you, Yosuke?

[Voice] | [After Utgard]

[sleight_of_hand]

Uh... hey, Mari-chan-- [He paused, swearing under his breath] M-Maribelle, I mean.

I just... uh...

I-I was just wondering if you wanted to train again. G-gimme a call and let me know.

[windbreak]

Oh, I'm good! Took it easy for most of yesterday, but... heh.

[He's glad she can't see him fidgeting.]

I was just wondering, uh - well, a friend of mine mentioned it could be fun for everyone to just spend some time together now that rationing's over, you know? Like, nothing major. But something like that is going down in the park tomorrow, so...

[And he's not trying to impress that friend or anything! At least, not in that way. Nope.]

[Voice]

[damselled]

[It takes her some time to make a decision - and why had he called her "Mari-chan"? That made no sense to her at all.

When she finally does call him back - hours later - she sounds as composed as ever.]

Hello, Tohru? Do you have a moment to talk?

[Voice]

[sleight_of_hand]

O-oh... hey, Maribelle.

Yeah, sure; did'ya get my message?

[damselled]

Oh? That sounds lovely. Am I to take this as an invitation, then?

[She's used to rationing, being a soldier, but it's ever so nice to not have to worry about that.]

[Voice]

[damselled]

Yes, I did. How are you, Tohru?
