54. [Video]

[The first thing you see is the sky, darkening and hazy with mist. There are fireflies, too, circling above the camera. And, just on the edge of the lens, blurred due to its proximity, is a lock of silver-blond hair. She's lying beside the Forge, it seems, staring up at the sky.]It's funny, but all day I've felt... different. A little better

Well, I did say goodbye, Priscilla.

[ Video | Private ]

[yetsleeping]

Well. It was still... rude.

[ Video | Private ]

[swordofthenorth]

Which part of it was rude?

The part where I explained myself? Or the part where I said I hoped to talk to you again?

[ Video | Private ]

[yetsleeping]

I...

[Wait, now she can't figure out what it was. Dammit.]

Mrmph. Nevermind.

But I didn't forget anything you said.

Just so you know.

[applelimber]

Well, that's a start.

Private

Hey. Wanna come watch Deneve steal a salt shaker from someone else's bar?

Voice

[yetsleeping]

Everyone has to start somewhere, right?

[Private]

...what?

Voice

[applelimber]

Damn straight.

Private

[She laughs.]

Yeah, it's gonna be hilarious.

[You know, since it's not her bar.]

Does she need salt that much? Why doesn't she borrow some from you?

[Amused Exorcist is amused and latches onto one thing.]

Hey, fireflies! Didn't think they'd have'em here.

[Video]

[yetsleeping]

Mmhm! They only showed up recently. Pretty, aren't they?

...I don't think I know you yet!

[Video]

[looseleafbook]

Ta be honest, I was startin ta miss'em, haven't seen'em at home for a while now. Mind tellin me where ya found'em?

I just arrived tha other day, actually. 'm Lavi, 'm from tha same place as Lenalee, Allen, 'nd Kanda, if ya know'em.

[yetsleeping]

They're just floating around, really. There were more a little while ago, but I guess they're fading away now that the weather is changing.

Oh! I do know them. Especially Lenalee. It's good to meet you! My name is Priscilla.

[girl_unlocking]

I...I've felt a little better. Especially today?

[This is hard. She doesn't quite know what to say - doesn't quite understand all that's gone on. Been wrapped up in her own things, and too afraid to ask the right (or wrong) questions. But today it's easier to speak up. To not be afraid of saying something wrong.]

I'm glad you're even just a little better, too.

Your hair. Why do you want to cut it?

A-and I'd still like to punch the bag, if you want. Sometime.

[yetsleeping]

In case Senji gets back! He's always complaining when it gets longer. And it does start falling in my eyes a lot.

[She flips her feet a little.]

I kind of broke the bag. A few days ago. But I'm getting another one!

[video]

[girl_unlocking]

Oh. I can punch the new bag. New-bag punching, I am ready when you are!

[In case. In case. She remembers now, what little she knows.]

I think he'll come back. So, yeah.

[She smiles a little, it's small, but sincere. She seems to believe what she's saying.]

You should cut it.

[I mean. He'll come back, right? Buffy's alive, and I never ever thought --hoped maybe-- but I never really thought the spell would work. But it did!]

[video]

[yetsleeping]

All right! I'm getting the delivery tomorrow?

[That next part makes her go quiet. A sad sort of quiet, but at least the sadness isn't crushing, today.]

I hope so. I still-- well. It's only been a week, right?

I'll cut it.
