Stake out time (Open later)

[swordandchalice]

Setsuna felt it had been enough time for Duck to get settled in, and he was bored, yet again, so the day was deemed perfect for a special stake out attempt. He honestly didn't think they'd find anything, but it would be worth it to try. And still, one could never know

After a little while, Cayce posted a Tinkerbell postcard, on which was drawn a big smiley face and signed:

♥ CayceP

Setsuna, again, laughed when he got the postcard, but since he had Duck hadn't been ready, just yet, he drew a quick angel on a piece of paper, then put:

Write back soon. I don't wish I was there, though. Fairies aren't my thing.

Duck blushed and hid behind her bread. "It's got its moments," she mumbled. "But better a funny story than a really sad one, right? Though it's got its sad moments, too," she added with a more downhearted air. Poor lonely Rue. Poor Mytho, tortured by the Raven's blood. "But things'll get better. I'm sure."

The red-headed girl nodded and grinned. "That's the spirit! The answer can't hide forever, not even in a place as big as this!"

Duck gave Setsuna a questioning look and tried to say, "Huh?" around her mouthful of bread. "I'm-" she swallowed, "not that bad. Probably." She did not, however, take another bite until they'd sat down after the discovery of Cayce's letter

After receiving Setsuna's reply, Cayce waited long enough to play another round of pinball (that being the only way she had to measure any length of time other than a minute or so). Then she put another postcard in the mail, this time with a picture of Buzz Lightyear on it, and also signed with

*waves* People are so welcome to come bug them, make fun of them, whatever you like.

"Yeah, a funny story is better," Setsuna repeated, hoping it would cheer Duck up a bit, as she seemed to get depressed after thinking of the sad moments. "And it'll end happy, so no need to worry over the bad things right now."

Once she was grinning again, Setsuna found he felt better and nodded along to what she said. "As long as we keep looking."

He laughed when she defended the extent of clumsiness, but was relieved when they were sitting down and nothing else had happened.

To Duck's opinion of the postcard, Setsuna shrugged and said, "I have no clue. It just looks like a torn dress to me. And my angel was just a quick drawing. Nothing special." At least, he had never been anything special in art classes back home.

They weren't going to check the mailbox right away, so Cayce's postcard would go a while sitting there. In the meantime, he decided eating and talking with Duck would pass the time nicely.
