You must be, if the tale of 52 is to be right.

[Coming home from town, Jilly doesn't stop to look at the nameplate before opening the door to her room. Why would she? The artist's name had never been on the nameplate for 1105. It was Sakaki's room and it always had been, for longer than Jilly had been in the castle ( Read more... )

Jilly...

I'm so sorry.
Are you okay?

tehoniongirl April 14 2011, 19:37:55 UTC

Hey, Sora.

[for him, she tries to smile, letting it edge into her voice] I'm okay. I'm a little sad...but she was happy at home, I think. It's good she gets to go back.

colorlesschild April 14 2011, 19:42:39 UTC

[He knows that tone of voice, and tries to match it with the comforting one he had learned from her.]

You don't have to smile, Jilly.
It's okay. Please don't for me.

tehoniongirl April 14 2011, 20:04:53 UTC

[aww, bb]

It's for me too. I want to be happy for her, even if I'll miss her.

colorlesschild April 15 2011, 15:13:51 UTC

She has good things to go home to, right?

tehoniongirl April 15 2011, 19:36:51 UTC

Very good things, I think. All her friends are waiting for her.

colorlesschild April 16 2011, 10:22:48 UTC

Good.

Um.
Do you want anyone with you right now?

tehoniongirl April 17 2011, 06:56:44 UTC

I wouldn't mind that at all.

[knowing his sense of direction, though...]

Shall I come find you?

colorlesschild April 17 2011, 06:58:31 UTC

It's okay. I can ask a ghost to take me.

[Guess what, there's soon a kid floating outside your window.]

Jilly?

tehoniongirl April 17 2011, 07:28:39 UTC

[she's in the process of deciding which of her things should be moved first and which can be left for awhile when his voice draws her gaze to the window...and she stares]

Sora?!

[hurrying to the window. BB, what are you doing floating 11 stories up?] Oh my god...

colorlesschild April 17 2011, 07:30:14 UTC

[Slipping into the window like a dark, skinny Peter Pan.]

It's okay. The castle made me float.

tehoniongirl April 17 2011, 07:31:18 UTC

[she pulls him into her arms, closing the window behind him as if she's afraid he'll float away] When did this happen?

colorlesschild April 17 2011, 07:32:49 UTC

[He quite literally weighs nothing now, drifting about in her hands.]

Um, yesterday morning. I woke up and was bumping into the ceiling.

[He cups her face with both palms.]

Are you okay...?

tehoniongirl April 17 2011, 07:35:24 UTC

[the touch of his hands against her cheeks is enough to draw her out of the shock... at least enough to answer him without simply staring]

I'm okay. I'm...sad. I knew her for a long time.

colorlesschild April 17 2011, 07:41:18 UTC

[Sora hums sympathetically and slips his arms around her neck, squeezing gently. He was beginning to understand this helped other people.]

I'm sorry you're sad.

But, um. She had good times here, right? And you can always remember her.

[He was trying to remember the comforting things people had said to him about the people he had lost. Lilith, Iroh, Alfred, Caterina, Puddleglum, Jyuushiro, Alucard...]

tehoniongirl April 17 2011, 07:43:16 UTC

[hugging him back] I can. And I will. And I'll be happy for her that she gets to be home with her friends, now.
