That is definitely understandable. If you can let me know when a price is set, I can start sharing that information as well. I imagine Yuri's guild will also want to know, if they haven't acquired any yet.

[rustyhonesty]

Yeah, of course. Just thought I'd inform about the progress.

I also met someone who talked about you looking for people who can help. He wanted to recruit me to teach people how to fall without getting injured.

[acquirement]

Thank you, Jean. I appreciate it.

Oh? There were quite a few people who responded to my post. It's rather interesting that's what they asked of you though. Did they say why?

[rustyhonesty]

I was practicing parkour and fell of a building, coming out of it without injuries. I guess that's why.

[acquirement]

I see. Were you using your gear? Or have you found a way to avoid it? I'm used to using a plunge attack to dispel some of the damage, but I'm not impervious. If it's too high, I'll take some.

[rustyhonesty]

Parkour is done without any equipment. Your goal is to get from point a to point b as fast as possible. I did get some bruises but I avoided worst possible injuries.

I generally don't use my gear in the city, since I want to avoid damaging the buildings as much as possible.

[acquirement]

I see, it sounds like you've made some good improvements then. Well done. (‾◡◝)

[rustyhonesty]

Uh, yeah, I suppose. Thanks.

[acquirement]

Was that too much?

[rustyhonesty]

Just a bit unexpected.

[acquirement]

Praise should be given where it is due.

[rustyhonesty]

I guess I'm not used to it.

[Other than from Mikasa or maybe one of his siblings.]

[acquirement]

Oh? Then I'll endeavour to change that. Of course I won't praise for the sake of it either. I'm a firm believer of hard work being necessary.

{ welcome to ayato friendship. }

[rustyhonesty]

[This is too awkward, bye, he's leaving-]

I'll do my best?

[Is that what he's supposed to say to that.]

Not that you really need to, honestly.

[acquirement]

{ BANNED he isn't allowed to leave. }

φ(゜▽゜*)♪

Oh? Are you not the type to work harder for recognition?

[rustyhonesty]

What the hell does that emoji even mean?

Not really? I work the best I can to be better at helping others and surviving, not for some shiny badges.

[acquirement]

It's me cheering you on. (❁´◡`❁)

{ isn't jean glad ayaka taught him how to do these }

And that was a very respectful answer. I agree, though sometimes it is fine to have a little motivator from a friend.

[rustyhonesty]

If you say so.

[Ayaka why. Now he has to try and make sense of them.]

I guess so. Well, I'll do my best to make you proud, then.

[acquirement]

You'll get used to them eventually.

And there's no need for that. Aim for your own sense of achievement. I'll be happy if you do that for yourself.

[rustyhonesty]

I guess I'll have to.

I know, I know.

[He hadn't wanted personal questions on his announcement and she respects that. She respects, too that he might have difficulty controlling himself on video, so she only sends a voice message to not make it seem expected.

She also does not ask if he's all right. That seems like a ridiculous question.]

Ayato... if you'd like someone to talk to, or simply a quiet place to rest for a little while, please let me know.

So, you know how I mentioned I was also going to go out on an expedition? Well, I'm back.

From the Flower Yard.

{ at least with the username being one he recognises he'll respond, thankful it's on a private line and not attached to that. }

I've done a lot of talking the past few days, but somewhere quiet to rest could be nice.

{ he takes a deep breath. } I'm not sure how peaceful it will manage to be when I'll need to send constant reminders I'm alive to people, however.

{ it's painful to read, following his own death only so many days before. barely over a week. he doesn't know the circumstances, but it doesn't matter. all he knows is that if he can be there for him, as someone who would understand, he wants to. }

That explains the delay.

Would it be alright if I visit? I can bring some groceries if you wouldn't want to go out.
