-like this. Just make a print on it with your paw...

[ Suzaku is helping his Skitty place her paw on a strip of paper! there are other strips of paper in his hand with differing Poke-prints on them, and one in the middle with neat, rigid characters printed on it (私は平和を望む or, essentially, "I desire peace" don't kill me if I'm wrong I suck at this

I almost forgot that it was Tanabata...

[ Nods. ] And... that is a very wonderful wish.

I almost forgot, too. Someone else mentioned it and reminded me.

[ glances away, nodding too. ]

Thank you.

Suzaku?

[ She was a little worried when he looks away. ]

Is there something wrong?

[usedrapidspin]

No, it's nothing.

[ he's just wondering what a certain somebody would say if she were here to see what he wished for, too. the same thing? wondering if she'd call him out for being a copycat. ]

Did you make a wish for Tanabata, too?

It doesn't seem like nothing to me...

[ But she won't force him to talk about if if he didn't want to. ]

It is not different from yours to be honest.

I wish that true peace will not simply be a dream anymore. That the peace we fought hard to achieve will continue.

[ a pause, then he smiles, just faintly. maybe still a little too serious and grim to be a legit smile, but close enough. ]

That's a really nice wish, too.

Thank you.

[ She pauses too, but still feels she had said or done something wrong. ]

You really look like you have something bothering you...

[ Another pause. ] Is it something you cannot share with another person?

[usedrapidspin]

I-no, it's not like that. It's just that it isn't really my wish. [ pauses, then frowns and shakes his head. ] No... I want it, too. But I asked on behalf of someone else, even though they won't know.

[ Like this, Suzaku was reminding her a lot of someone again. ]

It is the thought that counts...

It shows that you really care for this person's wishes.

[ Pause. ] To be honest, I can't really see you as the type to wish for something completely selfish...

Maybe I am wrong, because I haven't known you for very long...

[ plainly, ]

I'm not the type of person who ought to have wishes at all. Rather, I think I'm better suited to carrying others' along.

[lc_whitequeen]

I don't believe that at all.

[usedrapidspin]

Why?

video;

[lc_whitequeen]

I do believe you have wishes, you just don't make them. I'd guess you make it come true yourself.

[usedrapidspin]

I do try. It's more practical than only asking for it.

And that is very admirable.
