I hope I'm not catching you at a bad time, Mary.  I was thinking, since things have calmed down again finally, and the weather is growing nice, would you like to try to do that picnic soon?  I think it would be good for us after everything that swept through recently.  I was also thinking of inviting some of the

Why do I get the feeling that if was directed towards me?

[fundoshiman]

It wasn't particularly directed at anyone, actually.

[emo_git_usurper]

[Paranoid Alois is paranoid]

Then why phrase it like that...

[fundoshiman]

Because there are a few people within the home here who can be quite abrasive.

[He's thinking Kanda, who both conversations he's had with him have been tinged with threats from the other man.]

[emo_git_usurper]

You have a point..

[He's thinking about Mello here.]

[fundoshiman]

So it is a general warning. Or, do you intend to try to steal the blanket used for the picnic?

[This is definitely Jin harassing]

[emo_git_usurper]

[The joke was soooo not appreciated]

Tch-- as if I would bother. I do have my own blankets you know...

[fundoshiman]

Then I think we should be fine. You're welcome to come, anyway. It could be a nice break from what has occurred a few weeks back.

[emo_git_usurper]

I.. am? [He found himself questioning before he had the chance to stop himself. What occurred in those "few weeks back" was something Alois was trying to forget. Still-- Jin had provided the medication like he said he would regardless of how he'd been treated.

This was giving the boy mixed feelings on the guy. On the one hand, he wanted to be rude to him again to assume the sense of normalcy.. on the other hand.. he sort of owed Jin one. It was getting complicated]

I wouldn't want to intrude.

[The best course of action might be to avoid the whole affair so he could essential avoid addressing the conflicting feelings at all]

[fundoshiman]

If I'm offering, it wouldn't be an intrusion. However, it is up to you.

[Jin is unaware of the inner struggling, and it's probably for the best. He would laugh a bit at Alois over it, before explaining that he tended to be a fairly understanding man, regardless of what Pellegri said.]

[emo_git_usurper]

[.. Quick.. look for another excuse. Despite that Jin wasn't pushing the matter, Alois felt he needed a reason.]

I'd have to check with Lady Hargreaves first..

[He doubted that Mary would oppose his attending so he had no intention of asking her about it. Problem solved.]

[fundoshiman]

I doubt she'll mind, but feel free to ask her.

[emo_git_usurper]

I'll get right on that.. [NOT]

[fundoshiman]

Well hope to see you there then. [If he knows, he's ignoring it. Probably he doesn't know, and doesn't care; it's Alois' choice anyway]
