[Good morning SoL. Have a concerned-looking Namine.]

I haven't seen Kairi or Sasami for a while now. Has anybody else?

[She wanted to ask before but things have been...a little hectic.]

Comments

[crafty_punk]

Huh. Can't say I have. Sorry.

Maybe they took that time travel thing and haven't come back yet?

[colorbymemory]

It's okay

[At least he tried.]

Maybe, but I think they would have told someone if they were going somewhere?

[crafty_punk]

Dunno. Probably. Maybe they forgot.

[colorbymemory]

I don't think they would.

People have disappeared even before the time machine was turned on. We think they might have been sent home somehow.

[She hopes that's what happened to them.]

[crafty_punk]

Maybe. If that's what happened then... sorry. I think. 'course, it could be a good thing, too.

[colorbymemory]

[She gives a small, sad smile.]

Good for them, a little lonely for us.

[crafty_punk]

Yeah, kind of a mixed blessing thing.

...oh, yeah! Made you something a while ago. Kinda forgot about it with all the weird sh-... [Catches himself.] ...stuff going on.

[colorbymemory]

[The correction is noted and appreciated.]

Really? Thank you.

[She's not used to presents. Have a pleased yet surprised Namine.]

[crafty_punk]

Eh, no problem. Since you helped me out and all when I first got here.

[colorbymemory]

Oh! That wasn't any trouble at all.

[She likes saying "hi" to the new arrivals and helping when it looks like she can. No thanks needed, really.]

[crafty_punk]

Well, yeah, but I still wanted to do somethin'. 'sides, I can't let myself get rusty. Mind if I drop it by some time?

[colorbymemory]

Not at all. Do you remember where my room is?

[crafty_punk]

'Course. Be there soon.

[colorbymemory]

Okay.

[She'll stay put then.]

[crafty_punk]

[Gets there pretty quick, carrying a small box. Knocks on the door when he gets there.]

[colorbymemory]

[Answers the door and smiles up at him.]

Hello, Kanji.

[crafty_punk]

Yo. ...well, it ain't much, but... [He offers the box. Inside, there's a small blue plush bird.]

...Your icon. XD He is such an awkward teenage boy.

[colorbymemory]

[Namine accepts the box and opens it. Her smile widens when she sees what it is.]

Thank you! It's so cute.

[Now to find a place to put it~]

He really is. XD

[crafty_punk]

Nah, thank you. Glad you like it.

[colorbymemory]

[She eventually places the bird on her desk, where it can watch her draw.]

I do.

[Though, if he really wants to thank her...Suddenly her smile turns to a slightly shyer expression.]

Ummm...Do you think you could show me how to make them? I've tried sewing clothes, but this looks a little different.

[crafty_punk]

Oh, yeah! I started teaching people back home. S'no problem at all!

[colorbymemory]

[Congrats, Kanji, you just made her day.

She's still sad about the other's leaving, but this goes a long way towards cheering her up.]

[crafty_punk]

[He notices she looks a bit happier now and smiles.]

Whenever you're ready, just let me know. You know where to find me.

[colorbymemory]

[She nods.]

I will, and thanks again.

[crafty_punk]

No problem. [Waves... and hurries off to find supplies. If he's going to be teaching, he's gotta be prepared!]
