[Juliet is working on some sort of sewing project, sitting by the window in the main room of the Capulet house. She concentrates fully on the purple fabric, not looking up to speak.]It has been six months since I arrived to this city. Six months to the day. During such time, I have gained and lost family, made very dear friends, and found myself ( Read more... )

Six months. You have a month on me, Madame.

[She smiles to see Lord Duroc's face on the little screen.]

And would you consider this a good thing or a bad, Lord Duroc?

You have been well, I trust? Have you enjoyed all of the apples with which we were blessed this last week?

[video] population_ctrl October 16 2011, 19:10:54 UTC

That's a difficult question, isn't it?

Mireille has taken quite a shine to them, at least. I'm not much for fruit.

Perhaps. It depends on one's perception of one's time here.

[That makes her smile more.]

Fruit will be good for the baby, of course. Nanny said my Lady Mother ate many oranges when I was in the womb. Father had to have them shipped from Naples and Campania for her. I am sorry you have not found them to your liking, though, given the sheer volume of apples we have had.

[Sokka feels sorrow and guilt all at once. He swallows it down and offers the thinnest of smiles.] It looks just like Octi. She would have been pleased, I think.

[video] capuletnomore October 16 2011, 21:24:30 UTC

[She smiles in return.]

I am glad you think so, Sokka. I had hoped it would, but I fear I am too biased to tell properly.

[video] angle_on_it October 16 2011, 21:36:42 UTC

Hard not to be. [Ahahaha, gosh, does he feel awkward. He rubs at the back of his neck, unable to keep his eyes on the screen.] Juliet, about the house... I didn't-- I wasn't targeting anyone, okay? It was just... [He's guessing she's put two-and-two together by now. Of course, he's very very wrong.]

[video] capuletnomore October 16 2011, 22:35:45 UTC

Indeed. That is why I wished opinions.

[Her brow furrows at this.]

Sokka, why are you -

[Wait.]

You set our house on fire?

Six months, is it? I hadn't noticed.

[But it brings some things into perspective.]

...it does look like Octi.

[video] capuletnomore October 16 2011, 21:25:47 UTC

It passes very quickly, does it not, Sango?

[She smiles at that.]

I am glad. I would wish to do him justice in making a twin for him.

[video] coraltaijiya October 16 2011, 22:48:56 UTC

...it does. [She's not sure if it's good or bad.]

You are. You've always had talent for sewing. [Her smile fades.] She would have loved it.

[Off screen, her fingers go to the edge of a folded piece of paper in a pocket.]

[video] capuletnomore October 16 2011, 22:57:55 UTC

Should she return, she will like it, I hope. In the meantime, it shall serve as a reminder for me of everything which passed between us here.

[She may be old enough to be married, but she is not so old that having a doll does not bring her comfort.]

[You get voice today, Juliet. Because there are some things he's still not strong enough to face people on. Bubbles just so happens to be one of them.]

Are we gonna share custody of him too?

[Voice] capuletnomore October 16 2011, 22:37:39 UTC

[Oh, Riku....]

I have enough fabric to make another, if you would like one.

[Voice] Welp. My HYML is doing well today, reflectivedawn October 16 2011, 22:43:25 UTC

What color?

[Voice] It's all good, bb. I do that, too. capuletnomore October 16 2011, 22:47:15 UTC

Purple, as Octi was. Unless you would prefer a different color?

[Usagi, who's passed a year in Adstring, understands deeply. She focuses on the stuffed animal instead.]

It really looks like Octi. You should keep him carefully safe.

capuletnomore October 16 2011, 23:33:44 UTC

[She smiles.]

Thank you, Usagi. I hoped I had done Octi justice. He shall stay very safe, indeed. I shall look after him very closely.

[Read: She's taking the stuffed octopus to sleep every night, and probably using him as a security blanket when need be.]

buntails October 16 2011, 23:35:13 UTC

[She has a plushie of Mamoru from when the fair was around. Enough said.]

Good. And if Bubbles comes back, the Octis can play together.

capuletnomore October 16 2011, 23:51:34 UTC

[All the mature ladies keep dolls around, naturally.]

That is my thought exactly.
