sorry about those texts last night, i probably shouldn't be allowed near my tablet after i've been drinking. you can forget everything i said if you want
[Because it's embarrassing and she doesn't want Ahiru to have to worry too much.]
and just in case you were worried, i won't tell anyone about the bird thing
[This is weird this is weird this is weird-- because he likes this girl, he does, he thinks very fondly of her, but she obviously has a lot more feelings for him than he does her. And that's okay! He gets it; two whole years in another world will do that kinda thing. But it means he doesn't know whether he should text her about this, if they should talk about it-- but she knows, Mahdi said, and, well, better to address it, right?
(Besides, he thinks, if she turns on him, it won't hurt so bad as some other people).]
( Once upon a time this would have been a long description of what she's going to be doing.
Then she realized she had to send this to a whole bunch of people, so she got lazy, and: )
Hey, I'm going to take up a missionary position in France! See you again in about a month. Hopefully the snow's not all gone by then! We'll need to do a fly by the mainland when I'm back. Plan for it!
[Left near the front door of her apartment is a little gift bag. Inside the bag is a fuzzy white scarf, and then there's a small box wrapped in bright turquoise paper. In the box is a little figure of a sandpiper, carved from bone, and a note.
['apparently this bird is a symbol of generosity, so it made me think of you. thanks for always cheering me up when i've had a lousy day. -Lea']
[Kanaya has invaded the McGill-Brown residence with three white boxes. Two are small but the one for Ahiru is larger and a little flat, like the ones clothes come in.]
I know this is a bit much but... I saw it and thought of you.
[A red dress with pink tights because it's winter.]
Hey Ahiru I Went On A Mission That Succeeded Today And I Thought Of You Wanting To Know Things That Have Happened To People Which Make Them Happy So I Want To Know Something You Succeeded At Lately
She had come over to discuss the upcoming video network post with Stephanie during her lunch break, and ended up with time left over. Now she was sitting on the couch, typing with her usual precision in response to something or another on the network. Her green cardigan hung open, and the neck of her red dress had wrinkled a little thanks to the friction of slouching against the back of the couch, revealing a small crescent of silver around the clasp.
She'd been reading in her room before she decides a walk would be a good idea. She's stopped on her way out by catching sight of Kanaya sitting on the couch, and so she moves to take a seat next to the troll.
"Hey there! What brings you here?"
Only a moment later, she catches sight of the necklace, tilting her head in curiosity.
"Oh, your necklace is really pretty! Where'd you get it?"
