[Hello network. It's been a while.

Let's just say that Lithuania wasn't in the mood to make himself available. At all. If you have seen him around since the mirrors crossed over to this side, he would have been with Poland and let the other nation do almost all the talking. He still doesn't really feel like it, which is the reason why this is text and not audio or video.]

I'm sorry for not having spoken to anyone for this long. I hope that everyone is all right. ...Ivanova, Elaine, Ryohei, Rosemarie, Helena, may I speak to you?

If anyone in this place would like lessons in the arts of cooking, horseback riding and swordfighting, please reply here and we can figure something out.

I haven't been out for a while, but I feel better as well, thank you.

Would you like to take a seat, please?

That's good.

[She nodded as she got comfortable in a chair.]

So whatcha' thinking?

..

Ah, what would you like to drink?

[Nervous, not sure where he should start - not sure if he wants to say anything about ...that... at all.]

[Action]

[rebelroses.livejournal.com]

Sure, what do you have?

[She knows there's something wrong. She used to get that form of beating around the bush from Lissa every now and then. Of course, with Lissa she could tell what she was thinking. Still, she'd let him be the one to say something first. No sense pushing him to tell her.]

Everything from the closet, but we have selfmade tea, too.

Anything is fine with me. Is there anything that you wanted to discuss?

[Action]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

I...

Not really. Something happened, and- [he stares at the door of the closet, trying to explain without explaining, which his pride won't permit.] I wanted to catch up with my friends after not having talked to anyone for a while.

Ah.. I see. You just seem like your bothered. I'm more than happy to spend time with you, though. I'm just making sure you're okay, you know?

[She doesn't know how to really make it clear without sounding really cheesy in a way she wouldn't actually be like.]

...I'm sorry. Where I am from- it is nothing that one should talk about. [Especially not if the victim is still alive, because it would only mean more harm to them.] I'm not sure how it is in your place, or that of most other people here, since a lot of things are different, but [his fingers around the doorknob of the closet tighten their grip a bit too much, but at least he manages to keep his composure in every other way.] I'm not sure if I would even be able to tell anyone. Please don't ask.

Ah, I see. If you don't want to talk about it, we don't have to. Is it a personal matter?

[She understands what he's getting at.]

[Action]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

...Yes. I guess you would call it that.

[Action]

[rebelroses.livejournal.com]

I see. Let's drop it then. We should just worry about having a good time.

[Action]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Rose. You're a great friend.

It's no problem. You guys make this place barable. I could at least try to cheer you up when you need someone, even if I suck at it.

Is there anything you want to do then?

We could try some board game. I was shown this game called "chess" a while ago.

[Action]

[rebelroses.livejournal.com]

... Oh boy... I don't really understand chess that well. I like checkers, but chess is more... brainy. We can try it if you explain it to me.
