Back to the mun

It has been a long time since we spoke with each other, hasn't it Miss Mun? Back then you have used a different username for me on Livejournal...

I do not know what brought this change of mind, but...

[She smiles and bows.]

I hope we are able to get along once more.

At least you had an account on Livejournal; my mun just let me collect dust in the headspace until here.

[ She grins though, happy to see her friend and for the moment withholding jokes about it being her birthday; Abigail will wait and see if Sakura mentions it first. ] How've you been?

In the end they have deleted the account on Livejournal before taking me here... however, I am pleased to be here now.

[How long... two years, two and a half? She hardly remembers.]

I have been fine. How are you doing? Did you have a nice birthday so far?

It's better than collecting dust! [ Abigail, forever the optimist. ]

I did! I can't wait for the fireworks, it's my favorite part; you gonna watch too, right?

Rather collecting dust than believing that you may not come back.

[It felt like that at least... but anyways.]

It would be a pleasure.

I'm glad to get to see you, you know! That's totally a reason your mun should keep you around!

Awesome! There's even some radio stations synchronizing their music to the displays!

I shall bring this up should my mun consider to separate with me.

That sounds wonderful.

Ah, Sakura-san.

[She actually smiles and offers a very polite bow. Well-practiced and everything.]

I am very glad to see you. I am also pleased to your writer for finding reason to bring you about.

Have you been well?

Alice-san.

[Polite as always. And she is very pleased about it. She bows as well and smiles in return.]

I am glad to see you as well. And while I don't know the exact reasons, I am pleased to have returned.

I have been well, thank you very much. And you?

I've... been...

Mmm...

[Normally she wouldn't answer this. But this was Sakura, one of the few that she ever felt comfortable confiding in.]

Pray, do you know what the day is?

[Or was. But something tells her Sakura would be able to piece the clues together.]

... Ah!

[She remembers the day and looks a little panicked.]

My apologies, that was insensitive of me.

[She smiles a little, nervously, and a little pained. Really, if it wasn't for Sakura, she probably wouldn't even be out today.]

T-Think nothing of it...

[Though now if one were to look at her, Alice did seem much more defeated. Her eyes are glassy and baggy, and the usual attention she gives to her hair and her outfit is uncharacteristically absent.]

Uhm...

[She fidgets.]

If, if you don't mind, may I...?

[Sakura reaches out to fix her hair and adjust her clothes, if Alice allows her to.]

Hmn... [What was this now?]

Ah...? [Her clothes?]

Is it that bad?

[She is completely oblivious.]

I would not say so.

[Yes, it is. So she begins to straighten Alice's clothes.]

Other than that, have you been doing well?

[She's not used to being fussed over, but she supposes it's kind of nice when it happen? So she'll just be patient and quiet as Sakura fixes her up.]

Mmm, I cannot say yes or no. My writer has had me around for a month now, and I have been taken well, much to my writer's surprise.

Meeting some of our friends have even been enjoyable.

[Then there was the loss of FIFA, and the other interactions with other people which she would definitely qualify as "not enjoyable."]

[A lady should always look the best she can, even when upset.]

That is good to hear.

[Clothes are fixed, now her hair.]

Hopefully everything continues to go well for you.

Ah--hey. My hair? Surely I don't look that terrible...

[You do, Alice. Let Sakura fix you.]

I must insist.

[And that means a lot coming from her.]

[...damnit. She knows. And it shuts her up good.]

[She'll stay quiet, but every part of her body is just shouting, "Fiiiiiiiiiiiiine."]

[Good girl.]

[It only takes a few adjustments and Alice's hair looks like it usually does. Sakura draws her hands back and smiles.]

[.......]

I-Is it better?

It is.

[There is only so much that can be done against the bangs under her eyes and she doubted that Alice would let her go THAT far.]

[Damn right.]

[...still... her indignation can only last so long...]

Ah... thank you, then.

...

I suppose I may have been a little neglectful today.

[A little?]

You are welcome.

[She won't comment on it.]

[There's a nervous brush of her hand through the side of her hair. It disrupts Sakura's hard work a little, but not so much that it undoes everything.]

...

Have you eaten?

[This was how Alice expresses concern and appreciation: through fussing over them.]

Not yet.

[She does start to feel a little hungry...]

I haven't.

I could go for some tea.

Then shall we have some tea together?

I could prepare sweets if you like.

Mmm.

[She nods, happily enough.]

[The truth is she hasn't eaten anything today. Nor does she think she could keep anything down if she tried.]

[But that was food. This was tea.]

[There's always time for tea.]

Alright.

[Sakura couldn't force her to eat, but hopefully that would just be for that one day and that she would be fine again on the next.]

Do you have a preference of tea? I have Earl Grey, as always, but also some Darjeeling, English Afternoon, and some Assam.

[Giving people choices. It's how she showed consideration.]

I would be fine with any choice you make.

[Alice always made good choices when it came to tea.]

Right now I really could give a...

[ack]

...toss.

[It was true, though. She wouldn't even consider doing this if it wasn't for her.]

[Oh dear...]

... I am fine with Earl Grey then.

Mm...

[And she does. Quiet and dutifully.]

[Don't mind her rolling up her sleeves and preparing a few sweets to go along with the tea.]

[Yes, that is far more interesting than what Alice is doing, so she'll go ahead and stare at Sakura.]

[...she might want to pay attention more to the tea, though.]

[Uh.]

[So apparently she's going for extra ~~bitter~~ flavorful with this batch.]

[It's nothing special, just little wagashi that are shaped like flowers...

In case the tea becomes too bitter she could make some extra sweet.]

[*our art, bleh, I must be a bit under too u_u]

[Alice likes wagashi. She might even try some...]

[The stirring motion of her hand reminds her that she is making tea, her attention goes down to it and--]

OH CRAP...

[She can already tell its way too dark than it should be.]

(ooc: it's okay!)

[Hopefully they suit her taste. And...

Oh a curse.]

... Do you want to make new tea?

[She dips her finger into it and gives it a taste -- which by itself ruins at least a half-dozen of faux pas right there.]

...We're going to have to. God damnit.

[The ol' sailor is coming out now.]

It's alright, I may need a bit more time to prepare the sweets.

[There, there, it's all right. Mistakes happen.]

Ah...

[She looks down at the water--now slodge--and sort of... stares at it.]

[Have some back pats Alice.]

[She rolls her shoulder away. And immediately regrets it.]

I'm sorry. It seems I'm not being myself.

[An apology from Alice? Whoa, she really is feeling out of it...]

All of us have such moments, you do not have to apologize.

[That sounds like it, but Sakura doesn't want to upset her...]
