☆ 《003, Video 》 January 14 | Afternoon

[purewhite_crane]

*Tsuruhime, unlike her usual self, looks down. Her face doesn't have the peppy smile or energy. In fact, she looks downright tired.*

Haaa *A deep sigh.* I never thought it would be this hard to keep up what's happening around here. Um, I'm sure everyone is aware of this already, but Eiko-chan and Neku went back home.

*She attempts to smile a

[Derek looks worried and he's clearly saddened by Tsuruhime's distress.]

I'm very sorry to hear that, Miss Tsuruhime. Is there anything that I can do to help?

[Video]

[purewhite_crane]

*She jumps slightly at the offer. She waves her hands, flustered.*

I-I am very grateful for the offer, but I couldn't possibly ask that of you!

[Video]

[helpfuldoctor]

Well, you're not asking. I'm offering freely. If there's anything that I can do to help you then I'd like to try, but I won't force it on you.

[Video]

[purewhite_crane]

Ah ... Well. I'm actually very happy that you are. It would be a little rude to refuse it ...

*hmmm ....*

Okay! Then could you go out with me for a little while?

[kerorogunsou]

Tsuruhime-dono...

[He wants to ask her if she's okay...because she doesn't look okay. And yet he doesn't want to seem too nosy if she'd rather be left alone. (Not that he usually has this problem with people that aren't sad, but still.)]

I-If you're ever too lonely, you can come talk to me, de arimasu! Ah...I can't promise I won't get sent back home too... [Oh, crap. That wasn't what he meant to say.] Ah...b-but...even if that happens, I'm sure the happy memories we've all made here will never fade, de arimasu. No matter what happens, me and you, and you and Eiko-dono and Neku-dono will always be friends, Tsuruhime-dono!

[purewhite_crane]

*Tsuruhime listens to Keroro's pep talk with that same smile. But she's grateful that someone cares (even if that someone is a mysterious talking frog).*

... I agree with you Keroro-san! We'll always be friends no matter where we are. It is a little ... sad *she says the word carefully.*, but I can say for sure that I treasure those happy memories.

[video]

[kerorogunsou]

It will always be a little sad because no matter what, they were once-...No, they still are and will always be important to you, Tsuruhime-dono! And I'm sure wherever they are, even if they might not exactly remember, some part of them misses Tsuruhime-dono as well, de arimasu.

[video]

[purewhite_crane]

Then that's all I ask of them. *She looks down the communicator with fondness* Keroro-san? Please try not to leave so soon okay?

You're also a good friend of mine.

Action

[purewhite_crane]

Oh ... *Tsuruhime looks up from the communicator and blinks up at him. He too must feel horrible that they are gone.

She nods soberly.*

If you don't mind, Zidane-san.

Action

[purewhite_crane]

*She has to laugh a little at that.* Well a girl can never be too careful around a boy. *After the laughter dies down, she turns to him curiously.*

So ... how are you?

[ video ]

[blue_wayfinder]

I know it may not mean much comign from a stranger, but I'm sorry for your loss. [She knows how it feels to ave friends sent home.]

[ video ]

[purewhite_crane]

I'm actually quite happy. I don't feel quite as lonely as before. *a little chuckle.*

How strange!

[ video ] T-Tsuruhime...;A;

[blue_wayfinder]

...I don't think it's strange at all.

It may not fill the void your friends left behind, but talking to other people can at least help take away the loneliness for a while.

[ video ] she'll do her best to be happy .. ;w;

[purewhite_crane]

I see ... a lot of people have voiced their concerns for me. I was really touched.

Who knows? Maybe we can become new friends!

video; fashionably late (yea)

[fourleafedbrat]

Eiko and Neku?

[Clover repeats the words, observing this girl for a moment before speaking further. She does look pretty tired. : |;;]

Friends of yours, I'm guessing.

[She doesn't know them.]

video; never too late (yay)

[purewhite_crane]

Yes ... But not only friends, but also roommates. We all lived together in a big apartment.

*There is nostalgia in her voice.*

Did you know them?

Re: video; never too late (yay)

[fourleafedbrat]

[She shakes her head.]

I didn't, actually. I haven't really been in the city for very long.

...But that's too bad.

[That's almost-sympathy in her voice there. Congrats.]

[purewhite_crane]

*Oh we feel so special ;w; .*

Heh heh, I see. But thank you. I appreciate it. *Well she can't be mellow forever.*

I'm Tsuruhime by the way! You are ...?
