With all this talking about Yule from everyone as of late, it's been making me think of how I've spent it in the past. Which in turn makes me think of home and family. I always looked forward to spending the holiday with the people that I love and all of the things we did together. ...And you know, I had figured that I probably was going to end up

Kazena is always busy with something, kid. Least that's how I see it. You haven't been under his feet yet, why do you think it would change because of some holiday.

You have? That's great! I'll be by immediately to fill them out. I'm a cousin twice removed on your father's side, or something, right? It'll help with a new name...I've been thinking about a name. Something like Leon or Kimba or Shugosha or something like that...

[ooc: Leon is the cop from Petshop of Horrors, Kimba is the white lion of anime fame and Shugosha means "protector"]

...If I'm not here for a while, then he'll have one less thing to worry about during the holidays. He can just focus on his work some more without me around to keep asking if there's something else he wants me to do.

Um, something like that ought to work, I guess, if that's what you want to say. I just told them you were a sempai that I knew through my brother who was transferring in from the border guard. And we can combine a few of those names, if you want.

[OOC: Pfft~ Kimba~ ...Though that makes me wonder now, is Kippei a white lion himself?]

[prideless_lion]

That would mean I should go too. But I'm not as free as you are. So I get to stay here and ask all that.

I just wanted to make sure I had the right story. It has to match if it's going to work, right? And I don't know. Just wondering if I'll even remember any of those.

[blueguard]

...I know. And I'm sorry for placing you in that position. ...It's just...between both my birthday coming up and Yule almost being here, I'm really missing the people I love. And something recent that just came up isn't helping. I just want to go home for a little while. I'd ask if you'd like to come with me if you don't want to bother Kazena-sama, as both my family and the townspeople would welcome you with open arms, but I imagine you'd rather stay here instead.

I tried to keep things vague when I told them originally, but if you want to build more on that to be safe, it's up to you. And if you're worried about remembering it, then you need to keep it simple and think of names that you know you'll easily remember, Kippei-san. Do any of those names feel like ones you can easily answer to when called? Most of the time, you'll be answering to your family name, so that's what matters most.

I doubt someone like me is very welcome anywhere. So I'll stay put and look after Kazena for you

I see. I think the simpler the better. Less to forget or screw up. Of them all, Kimba is the closest. I have a....friend who calls me Kips as well.

[blueguard]

My town welcomes everyone. I would know. They welcome me, after all. ...Even though I'm a noble and part of the family who acts as lords over the town. But I won't pester you about it if you choose to stay with Kazena-sama.

[Screened to Kippei-san]

Alright. Then we can go with Kimba as your family name. And you can shorten your own name to just Kips, if you like.

[prideless_lion]

Kazena might need someone around. So you go home. But if you don't come back, I'll have to come there and drag you back, got that, kid.

[screened to Kentarou Aoi]

....Kimba Kips... That doesn't sound too bad, and is easy to remember. That is what it will be then.

[blueguard]

Yessir.

[Screened to Kippei-san]

Then that's what we'll put on the papers for you. I'll have to be sure I remember it as well as you'll possibly be working alongside me and my group with some of the other sempaitachi. But once I turn all of the paperwork in, you should be getting a letter sometime soon letting you know everything has been accepted and that you need to go in and retrieve your uniform and gear. It'll probably be while I'm gone, so I can't go with you for it, but hopefully it shouldn't be a big deal. Just remember the more important information you wrote down and it'll be fine.

[prideless_lion]

Good

As long as they don't need to do a full physical on me or anything, I should be fine. Maybe I can borrow some makeup from my sister to try and hide my mark, just in case.
