009.th FRAGMENT [action]
[ It has been a quiet and fairly lazy week for Aether. One of the recent conversations had once again made him realize how much he doesn't know about the most simple things - things like holidays and special dates or occasions - and so he decided to spend some time in the library, shuffling through books in order to gain some knowledge

[ Well, at least his voice is still the exact same... as similar to several inhabitants of Luceti as it is.
He raises the pumpkin up and gives it a curious look, only to shift his attention to Terra. ]
... You really like those things, huh? Moogles, that is.

I didn't design this outfit, though. I just stepped outside and suddenly I was dressed this way.
[She looks over his costume curiously.]
That happened to you, too, right?
Reply
[ Rather than explain how he came to spend all night in the library, he's quick to change the subject. ]

I'm sorry. It doesn't look at all familiar to me, but that doesn't mean someone won't recognize it.

[ A week wearing this thing... well, as far as his eyes hurt from this mask, the rest can be avoided by him not being the most social of butterflies. ]
I'm sure I can endure that long.
[ Of course, he might just be trying to make sure she doesn't worry. ]
