Hmm... I know this country could technically never be considered the coldest of places, but it has been getting a bit frosty as of late. Not really surprising, I guess, as it's almost the Winter Solstice. That said, as is always the case during the solstices and equinoxes, things are getting overly busy again because of it. No one should worry,

We're not exactly in a hurry anywhere, Akaya~ Besides, I'm sure you would like to spend a little time to celebrate the season with your friends and family before we head out as well.
In fact, wasn't one of your new friends...Shouta-kun's guard partner, what's his name again? His birthday falls on the Solstice, doesn't it~? That's rather lucky of him~! You should go wish him a Happy Birthday~ I heard from Shouta-kun that he likes growing gardens too, so take him some of your plants as a gift. He might give you back some new ones that you haven't grown before as a Solstice gift in return, even~
But just remember to wish anyone that you won't get to see in a while a good season. We'll be leaving for a few weeks at least. And I can think of a few who will be natural worrywarts the entire time you're gone.

But I promise, when we head off, we'll go somewhere warm just for you~ (Or well, you and Coby. He's not been a very happy frog himself. Probably doesn't help that the season has been pretty dry so far. Which isn't good for Coby's sensitive skin. ...But I think you've probably noticed that best out of us. Sorry if he's woken you up at all with his uncomfortable sleep-talking whenever he decides to follow you into the greenhouse for a nap.)

....Aoi....I think...too sleepy to remember well right now. I guess I'll go do that. Or ask Shouta too since I don't think I'd be allowed near the training area. I might fall asleep there and then there will be trouble for everyone.

I'll remember to wish big brother one.

I don't mind. He's great to nap with. And sometimes I water him, just like a flower.

Ah, yes. Thought his name had something to do with the color blue. ...Though, even if you are tired, you should still go visit yourself, Akaya. It's rude to send someone else when you need to give someone greetings. Even if it's his partner that you're asking to do it. I'm sure you can ask Shouta-kun to see if he'll meet you outside the training grounds. He seems like an easy-going fellow from what I've seen, so I'm sure it won't be too hard to find somewhere you can both get together at that's less likely to cause trouble~

Him in particular I'm sure will need an especially large well wishing, since I imagine he'll make the largest fuss of all. Try to remind him again that you're not leaving forever, please, so I don't have to worry about a sudden stowaway on our ship that will feel the need to threaten me during our entire trip.

Everyone in the house thanks you for that~ Coby can be hard to keep track of when he wanders off to try and burrow somewhere during the winter. But doing that doesn't exactly work well for him in this country, since it's a lot drier here than in his homeland. He can get sick because of it if he's not careful. So take care of him for us if he starts feeling too dry since you two have been around each other a lot lately.

I guess so. I just don't want to cause either of them trouble because of what I am to a lot of the guards. So I'll ask as soon as I'm awake again.

I'll make sure to tell him. Between him and my other brother, you have enough people yelling at you and calling you things.

I will. He's my friend and he's nice to me and Akato likes him too I'm sure.
