Love, ♥
In response to your questions:
1) Outside of flower arranging and romancing and reading romance novels, I don't know if I have too many things I would call hobbies. I like meeting new people and getting to know them. I like cooking on occasion. I usually just try out different soba variations, but I also like to dabble in artsy baking which probably means it doesn't taste very good. I probably should find a Jerry or a Lenalee to help me if I want to improve. Otherwise I really like playing in the snow, finding ways to make people smile, and generally distracting people from whatever is bothering them. I guess I'm more of a social creature, so I like being with people or doing things that I can present them with later to try and cheer them up.
2) Yes. Gift giving, has always been special to me. It's its own form of communication I think. A way to tell someone that you thought of them while the two of you were apart. Even if it's something as simple as a bouquet of roses or something as monumental as a promise ring. From that perspective, the act of gift giving is more important than the gift itself. Looks like I'm stuck in that whole "it's the thought that counts" mentality.
3) I don't really like or dislike music in particular though I do associate it with certain things and many different people. The most involvement I've had with music was through interactions with various Dressing Room residents. Learning to waltz with a Lenalee. Befriending a muse of dance. All the Allens and the Fourteenths in the Dressing Room. So there is a mix of good and bad memories dealing with music. I think generally speaking, if I had to choose, I'd say I like music. I like listening to Allen practice his violin. I like listening to the jazz music CD my exploring buddy gave to me. And I also like the music box I received from my adopted little brother even though I can't call him my little brother anymore. So a lot of mixed emotions I guess. Probably far too many emotions.
4) I... really don't know. It depends on who I'm with, yeah. I would just rather go somewhere that I think they would like. Gardens and courtyards for you. New and interesting places he's never seen before with Allen. Movie theaters and libraries with Alma. And the list goes on and on. When I'm by myself, I never stay in one place for too long. Just to get things or find places for the next time that I meet someone. Some of my favorite places in the Dressing Room are the sunflower patch an old friend made for me, your garden, and a quiet little gazebo that is covered in snow this time of year. All those places have warm fond memories for me.
5) The only personal possessions I keep with me are gifts from friends and loved ones over years I've been in the Dressing Room. The ring and the scarf you gave me are big ones. Another item I always have on my person is a locket that Allen made for me on my birthday. There is a black notebook in my nightstand, my first gift from Yuu-chan as well as a jade sunflower he carved for me. I have jazz CDs, music boxes, stuffed animals, and a lot of other little gifts that I have collected and keep near and dear to me. Most of the gift-givers are gone now, so it's nice to have a little something to remember them by.
And Love, I'm sorry that I disappeared on you. I know I probably made you worry, and even worse, I wonder if you are lonely back there by yourself in the Dressing Room. I'm trying to find my way back. It's just taking time. Too much time in my own opinion. Everyday without you seems like an eternity. But I'll find my way back. I promise.
Love forever and see you soon,
Lavi
