Well... he's taking it better than I ever could, considering he just died before coming here. Of course most of it is probably just a facade.

[Jean had offered to be there for him as much as he needed it, but also wanted to give Marco some space to adjust to being, well, alive again.]

It likely will be, we both know from experience how it feels to wake up after experiencing... it.

{ he won't say anything specific there, but... }

Is there anything you think he'll need that I may be able to assist with?

... yeah.

[It's difficult. Well, at least Marco didn't end up getting kicked and punched by a bunch of his friends.]

I don't know. I do want you to meet him at some point... I think you'd get along.

{ honestly most people don't get kicked and punched by a bunch of friends... }

Perhaps it would be best to ask him to let you know when he feels ready?

[That's news to him.]

You're right... I'll bring it up when we have a moment.

That's why people depend on the internet more. But the thing about that is anyone can make up facts there. At least books are generally checked before publishing.

{ jean ur friends are kinda mean... }

Very well. For now, I hope you're able to spend as much time with him as possible. It must be strange to experience.

I noticed that. Is it the case for every page on the internet, or are there some considered more 'safe' to use as a reference than others?

On 12/24, a delivery is made by a Fairy service.

There are two packages. One package is long. It's a sword Jean made himself. Another is rectangular; it has a painting of Pegasus Dogs, Mochi and Maru, and mouse-sized pajamas (as a cute joke).

The card simply says: "Happy Holidays from Jean"

OOC note: You can pick the design for the sword yourself; it's definitely customized in a way that reminds of Ayato.

Any place that is editable by anyone is unsafe; like the Wikillipsa*. Usually the information on there should be good, but it can be edited, so it's better if you confirm the information from other sources.

[ooc: * Wikipedia]

I see. Though if it can be posted at all, who is to say someone who says they are qualified on a topic is actually qualified?

I will. Thank you, Ayato. Later.

[He offers Ayato a smile, but he's signing off for now. There's a lot on his mind, after all, but he wanted to share the news anyway.]

Exactly. Usually books are confirmed and reconfirmed by various people, so they're more trustworthy in that sense.

this world sure has a hilarious timing.

we avenge you, but then quest board reminds me where i died.

i shouldn't be taking this so badly, but it hurts you know.

I haven't checked the questboard yet, but I am sorry to hear it.

If you are still not ready to go back, you don't need to.

i mean, i wasn't exactly planning on going. at least i doubt it. a part of me wants to check the place, just in case there are surprised.

and the flowers they collect there do seem useful too.

but i don't know.

[ Ayaka does not wish to take up too much of Thoma or her brother's time today, so she is eternally grateful that they were kind enough to spare some of it for her surprise for Cloud. There's some time before Cloud shows up at Thoma's doorstep, so Ayaka isn't particularly worried that they would bump into the other.

For her own purpose here, it's just for something quick, anyway. She's made bite-sized chocolate truffle mochi and placed them in a heart-shaped boxes to give as gifts for both of them. Ayato's box has a gold ribbon around it, and Thoma's has a red ribbon. And once she's handed the boxes over to them and they've settled down some, ]

Happy Valentine's day to you both! I really must thank you for allowing me to have Cloud visit later... Hehe, I'm rather excited for what he'll be doing.

[ Ayaka can spare a little bit before she has to leave for home to get dressed. As it is now, she's just in one of her more casual dresses which she wears for work. ]

Ayato, you'll be kind to him, won't you?

Perhaps you could find a group to go part way with you, then if you need to stop before you reach that area you can split into two groups?

And Happy Valentine's day to you as well, Ayaka. I hope you are being equally spoiled by Cloud in return for all the care and attention you've given him.

{ or he'll need to have words. }

And I'm always kind to him. I won't be in this form when he arrives anyway. The task if for Thoma, so I'll keep out of the way.

{ as a squeaky annoying hamster- }

maybe. i'll think about it, at least.

sorry, the timing's just really fucking stupid.

There is no need for that today. When we celebrate White Day, then that is when Cloud can return the favour.

[ But, really, letting her spoil Cloud is also already spoiling her. She's just way into her beau... ]

Oh, will you be transforming into something? As what?
