I ... I didn't notice.

Miss Estellise? Notice what?

I've been here for a year.

Has it really been a year? Time certainly flies, does it not?

It does. This past year ... it's been so full of ... of ... everything. New worlds. New discoveries. New experiences. New relationships. New romances ... New gains. And new losses. New feelings ... new

A year already, Estelle? Wow...

Hey, Haku. How long you been here now?

Uh, let's see... eight months and twenty six days! ... [squeak!] Eight months?! Th-that's so long!

And it only took you three months to snag a boyfriend! That's some gusto, girly!

[commence flailing] PHASCOOOO!

[fairytaleweaver]

Ah, Haku? Oh, yes! It was a year on the twenty-sixth of this month! I went back and checked my previous entries into the D-Comm about an hour ago, out of curiosity, and ... well.

I suppose I couldn't have checked it at a better time, right?

[giggles] So Phasco is your partner? It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Phasco! Haku was so worried about you while you were still in your egg!

[drunkkareoke]

That was good timing. Maybe you just knew some how?

Nice to meet you, too, kiddo. She worries too much, damn 'loid. I swear it's a programming glitch or something.

Phasco! Be nice!

Fft. Hey, your boy toy still loves you, right? Stop caring what I say so much, you know I'm a jerk.

... yes. Well. You're still my partner, jerk or not.

Yeahyeah. ... [DERF. Phasco is now being hugged.]

[fairytaleweaver]

[giggling] You two seem to care a lot about each other~

It's refreshing to see, isn't it?

Mhm! It really is!

[drunkkareoke]

Didn't always...

No... we had a hard time when I first showed up.

But I'm fully aware what a jackass I was back then. I was in the wrong, that's for sure.

... really?

Yeah, really. Gu-! Stop hugging me so tight!

I love you too, Phasco!

[fairytaleweaver]

It certainly looks as though things definitely turned out for the better with the two of you! I'm happy for you!

As am I.

[drunkkareoke]

Thank you... I'm glad, too. I just wish my big brothers were out of the hospital... I miss hearing them around the inn.

They'll be out soon, kiddo. You know they're tougher than that.

I-I know. And that attack could have been so much worse... I have to keep focusing on the fact that we all survived. I hope everyone you knew made it out okay, too, Estelle.

[fairytaleweaver]

I'm sure they'll be just fine, Haku. Believe in your brothers!

As for our end ... we had a close call, but everyone seems to be safe. Resa was among those kidnapped. She's all right now, though! Safe and sound~

[drunkkareoke]

That's good. For as terrible as it was I haven't heard of any losses yet.

I believe in them. I was a bit scared when Greg wouldn't wake up... but he finally did. Reno is still unconscious, though...
