[If you think Youji looks out of place sitting in a field of grass, you're right. As he turns on his Dreamberry, he can be heard muttering things about grass stains and his gratitude that his expensive Armani slacks are not here if one listens carefully

[Voice] for now

[white_polaris]

Hello and welcome back, Youji.

[Voice]

[slantedcross]

[...and he freezes, because it can't be, it just can't... but he can't help a soft whisper of Asuka... before checking the caller ID.

He forces his voice to sound upbeat, but doesn't turn on the video. He doesn't want her to see any disappointment that may be left.]

Hello, Serenity. I keep getting welcomed back and it doesn't even feel as though I've left.

Now that might be because so many loved ones have missed you while you still had them in the waking world. But do you trust my words?

[Voice]

[slantedcross]

I would never insult a lady by questioning her integrity.

[Unless it was Mayumi Tsujii, but she is speciaaaaal.]

[Voice]

[white_polaris]

You've been missed, truly, Youji.

[Voice]

[slantedcross]

I'd tell you the same, if I remembered this so-called absence at all.

[Voice]

[white_polaris]

What was the date you remember when you were last here?

[Voice]

[slantedcross]

February something-or-other.

[...horrified pause.]

Don't say I missed Valentine's Day.

[Voice]

[white_polaris]

It's June now.

And yes you did.

[Voice]

[slantedcross]

At least June is when the roses bloom.

[runs a hand through his hair.]

I'll have to fix this.

[Voice]

[white_polaris]

You can start with sharing some tea with me.

[Voice]

[slantedcross]

I like that word, start. Name your time, I'll be there with flowers.

[Voice]

Saturday?
