Private to Jing;

[soulinflight]

He ain't...? You don't know where he is? he should know better

Private to Aligoté;

[thieveryofstars]

No... I'm worried.

Private to Jing;

[soulinflight]

Oh...

Private to Aligoté;

[thieveryofstars]

Are you okay?

[watanukichan]

Er . . . I gave you the pink ones? I meant to give you the orange ones.

[thieveryofstars]

It's all right, they're kind of cute.

[watanukichan]

Are you sure you're okay with them? I have some orange yarn left to make you some in a different color, Jing-san.

[thieveryofstars]

They remind me of...

Yeah, they're fine.

[Screened to Jing]

[mint_pwns_you]

I miss you, too, Jing~ But it's okay! I understand. Everything's really gone to hell again, hasn't it? Man, it's one thing after another in this place. I kinda miss when we'd just walk around at night talking.

But hey~ You take care of Cassis and Kir and everyone, okay? And especially yourself, eh? If you need a break, I'll help out how I can.

...The other Kir?

[Screened to Mint]

[thieveryofstars]

Yeah, handbasket and all. [sigh] I miss that too.

I will... I'm trying to, anyway.

Huh? Oh jeez... I never told you! There's another, alternate version of Kir that arrived while we were, uh... indisposed by Yuuko's magic. It's so strange... he's human!

[mint_pwns_you]

We'll have to go for another walk again sometime soon since the weather is better.

You're doing your best, so that's good. I'm sure it'll be fine.

...Really?!?! What's he like?

[Screened to Mint]

[thieveryofstars]

Yeah... I'd like that. :)

Hm? He's... I don't know. In some ways, he's exactly the same! But in others, he's changed a lot... to be expected, I suppose. He doesn't even use his name anymore. He goes by Aligoté instead.

[turquoisebat]

Yes, he did. And I took it. It nearly made me sick... and the Warden was a strange man.

You... Oh, Jing, it's fine. The Warden woke me up anyway not long after you left. There's was nothing you could've done. Kir and Luke are more important right now than me. It's all right.

[thieveryofstars]

Strange? Yeah, he is... but he's not a bad guy, I think.

I don't like thinking that some of my friends are more important than others, even though I understand the sentiment.

[turquoisebat]

No, I didn't get that impression. More like... he's just doing what he has to do.

Heh... Yeah. I know what you mean. Don't worry so much... I still owe you a talk anyway when things finally calm down.

[thieveryofstars]

That's it exactly.

Oh yeah... yikes

[feather_seeker]

Uh... If it helps you at all... I saw Kir in the Ast building on the way to my room. I gave him a towel to dry off, but then he left Ast and went back outside.

He mentioned something about his room, I think

[thieveryofstars]

You did? Thanks... I'll look for him there. I hoped he'd gone to his room if he didn't come here.

that girl better leave him alone

[feather_seeker]

No problem. Though I think that means he got more wet from the rain... Eh, I'm sure the Warden gave him medicine by now.

Girl?

[thieveryofstars]

Jeez... hope so.

Etna. They don't get along so well...
