seleniahymn | ♪ twelfth hymn. [ action/voice/early afternoon ]

[Tear was sitting on a bench, attempting to write her letter to Rise when the snow began to fall softly from the sky, prompting her to look up and observe its fall down toward the village. She can't refrain from smiling a little, though the snow also serves as a reminder that makes her expression turn wistful.

Though it takes a long while before she actually does it, Tear reaches toward her journal and opens it, pausing for several moments before finally addressing the other villagers.]

I know it might be too early to think about this, but does anyone plan to organize a flower viewing? I know we had such an event last year involving the cherry tree, though I'm not aware of any other similar gatherings we celebrate here.

... I think it'd be nice to do something like that again.

[That isn't the only thing occupying her mind, though. Quietly she begins to build a filter for her next message, not wanting too many people asking questions.]

[Filtered to Freyjadour - 50%]

Freyjadour… Could we arrange a meeting? Preferably today. [She doesn't even know why she was overwhelmed with the sudden desire to see him, though she could certainly understand why.]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Tear.....?

Of course we can. [It had been a while since they saw each other- a few days, in fact. Far too long.]

Do you have a time preference? [While she would prefer right away, she can afford to be a little patient.]

Whenever you're available? [He would also prefer as soon as possible, but he wouldn't want to interrupt anything....]

I'm actually free right now. [It wasn't a school day, and other than checking up on the usual people she didn't have anything else planned.]

Then shall we meet up?

The plaza, perhaps?

The plaza's fine, I'm already here actually. [Though, maybe she should seek shelter from the snow...]

I'll be there soon. [Please do, he wouldn't want her to get chilly, afterall.

It only takes him a few minutes more then it would have previously to make his way to the Plaza- the new house was a bit further off then house 15 had been.]

[When he reaches there he'll find Tear still sitting on the same bench, watching the snow fall down. But when she hears Frey approaching she turns herself to face him, smiling warmly as she watches him approach.

How had they allowed for several days to pass without even communicating over the journals? But it didn't matter right now.]

[He returns the smile, his eyes lighting up as he sees her.

.....She looked so lovely in the snow, the snowflakes falling in her hair. His steps speed up a bit until he reaches her.]

Tear. Did I make you wait long?

[Sorry Tear, Ion isn't one to snoop on your private filters.]

Perhaps the same group as last year has plans to organize something similar this year? I would enjoy something similar as well once Spring starts.

[...o-oh, then maybe he could ask Kohan to go with him. ///]

Not at all. [Now that he's here the cold is hardly noticeable, especially with the small blush she can feel beginning to warm up her face. Nevertheless the smile remains lingering, trying to not feel ashamed over such small displays.]

I'm sorry for having you come all the way out here on such notice. [And for seemingly no reason other than to just see and speak with him...]

Don't be. I wanted to come. [That smile just widens.

Her blush might be returned as well with a slight red tint to his cheeks, though he's trying to keep composure. So odd.....]

[Tear does have some gratitude for Ion not snooping, and in the knowledge that he won't be too disapproving... like several others might be.]

Perhaps, though do you remember exactly who it was that did it? [It didn't seem like something Brave Vesperia would do, though the SOS Brigade might...]

[While Frey focuses on keeping his composure, Tear will be silently rising up from her seat on the bench and coming up to meet him, raising her hand just slightly to rest her fingers on his arm rather than abruptly throwing her arms around him. She is still very unfamiliar with what to do in these situations, what gestures to make. Hopefully Frey would not mind.]

I'm glad... [Particularly with how... 'protective' several people are of her.]

[That blush gets slightly deeper at her touch, his eyes widening slightly at the feelings it brings forth.

That felt... nice.] I'm glad, too.

Hmm... to be honest, I don't remember. It was right before that one experiment, after all...

[You know, the one where they all believed they were a family and were all embarrassed for like weeks after... kind of like how this one's going to end!]

[Experiment? It takes her a moment to remember exactly which one Ion is referring to, but when she does it's safe to say that the embarrassment is mutual even if... it was nice.]

I hope it's not interrupted again this year, then... [Especially by another similar experiment. B|]

[The deepening blush, even if it was faint, makes her both amused and curious even though she pulls away from him and takes a step back. While she was content to just stand here and be in one another's presence, it didn't seem wise as the snow began to fall more thickly.]

Shall we go inside?

A flower viewing sounds like it'd be really nice, Tear.

Of course. Is there anywhere in particular you wish to go?

Give me a month or two, I've got it.

[It's not the 14th, she's not picked up on anything weird yet...]

[What is a thing evil big brothers do, Tear?

That's right. Privacy invasion. Privacy invasion is a thing evil big brothers do. And he doesn't even have the decency to pretend he didn't.

If it makes her feel better... he checks all her entries over like this.]

And why are you meeting with Freyjadour, Mystearica?

[Whole names. Uh-oh.]

Oh my.

... Natalia? [Why are you using that tone?]

[... She should have known that Van would have hacked the filter she had created. Instead of being angry about it, she's simply annoyed – Freyjadour is a good man who should not warrant this much hostility.]

Is it wrong to want to meet him, Vandesdelca?
