been ages since I played this lady

[what_drfox_says]

You forgot your medicines again? Really, what should I do with you? And you're so quick to tell people to be vigilant about these things . . .

Well, I won't nag you because it's not as though it was idiocy on your part. You're not a like a certain rooster head whose name I won't mention. Just remember to take your medicines next time.

In addition to that, it's certainly not helping that you're worrying about playing me once again. I haven't changed, and just because you have doesn't mean that there's writing on the wall as soon as you start putting down my thoughts on paper.

I'm going back to work. You should too - and take your medicines!

[darksaint]

Oh dear, so she is being careless with her health.

[what_drfox_says]

Miss Lilith! How nice it is to see you again. I hope you've been well.

Yes, she can be forgetful - but it's better than someone deliberately attempting to sidestep a doctor's advice.

[A deep sigh.]

[darksaint]

I'm happy to be able see you again, although I hope that if she plays you, it would be a pleasant experience.

[she knows how this can be.]

Ah, then it slipped her mind. Nothing that a gentle reminder like yours wouldn't mend.

[what_drfox_says]

I tell her not to worry too much and to simply enjoy herself, but I know it it's not always so easy. She feels as though she's trying to live up to a memory.

[She knows this feeling quite well, though in the context of the memory of her family.]

Indeed. She needs it at the moment, as she's quite busy.

How have you been, Miss Lilith? Has your mundane been keeping you occupied?

[darksaint]

She must feel pressured to honor that memory because it must be important.

[Important matters make one happy but also bound to obligations.]

I have been well enough, my mundane has nearly forgotten about me, so I've kept myself quiet minding my ow business without bothering her.

[featherwrapped]

Mine does the same... she frequently blames it on the change in her medical routines, but really, it is a matter of forgetfulness and nothing more.

[Warmth colours his voice, despite this daily battle.]

[what_drfox_says]

[Ah, a welcome presence. This made her smile.]

Perhaps we should get them a calendar that they must tick off daily as soon as they've taken their medicines, but my only worry is that they'd forget that as well.

[A laugh.]

It is good to see you again, Mitsuhide.

[featherwrapped]

Mine once thought to track it in her diary, but that endeavour was a wasted one. We persevere with them, however, don't we?

[Mitsuhide laughs himself. How can he not, in this moment?]

Always and forever, dear Lady.

[what_drfox_says]

We do, though I don't mind tormenting mine a little.

[Are those twitching fox ears on her head or are you just imagining them?]

[He elicited another gentle laugh.]

It's so nice to stretch my legs out after all these years. How are you, Mitsuhide? Still as dashing and strong as ever?

[Ohohohohohoho~]

[featherwrapped]

I shall let you be the judge of that.

[Mitsuhide is certainly sure that he can 'see' them, at least in his mind's eye. Some things don't change, and that's a welcome fact.]>

You are no less the tease. You wish to make me blush so soon into this reunion?

[Not like it takes much, let's be real.]

[forthelifeofme]

[For a minute she takes it all in and then just... giggles gently.]

You know, if they're as forgetful as you are exasperated, I think you may need to remind her again.

Maybe you could leave notes on her forehead?

[what_drfox_says]

[A dry laugh.]

If she forgets to look in the mirror, then the plan was a failure.

Do you have a mundane similar to mine?

[forthelifeofme]

Not at all! Mine seems very nice.

But please don't let that discourage you from complaining about yours. It sounds like you need to let it out to me.

[what_drfox_says]

There's not much to complain about, actually. At least she's properly remorseful about forgetting her medication and promises to be more conscientious about them. I actually know some people who would deliberately ignore a doctor's advice.

[forthelifeofme]

Well, I can definitely say I never did that. In fact I've never been to a doctor in the first place. Ha!

[She's... entirely too happy about that.]

[oniwabanokashira]

...if nothing else, the mun is more likely to heed your advice than Sagara.

[what_drfox_says]

[Ah, it's nice to see a familiar person, even with a history as dubious as theirs. The past was the past, and Megumi had moved on since her life with Kanryuu.]

He could probably win a competition on hardheadedness. Or idiocy. He'd be the champion of either.

[A snort.]

How long have you been here?

[oniwabanokashira]

[She's not the only one. Cheers.]

Not long enough for the mun to decide on any 'games' for me.

[Hilarious, because this is all a game to them.]

...but long enough to find out what he considers 'fun'.

[what_drfox_says]

[She gave him a skeptical look.]

Should I even ask?

1/2

[oniwabanokashira]

[A silence heavy with foreboding. Whatever it is, Aoshi's had to give up a part of himself just to comply with the mun. Get out of his comfort zone, so to speak. And he doesn't like it one bit.]

[Ready, Megumi?]

2/2

[oniwabanokashira]

...meeting new people.

[Well. At least he didn't say smut.]

[mantenbou]

Honestly, they can be so reckless when it comes to their health.

[A soft sigh. As a doctor, Litchi can't really approve of such behavior.]

If it concerned something else, I'd find it reassuring it's not just my mundane that possesses the trait in question, but as things stand...

[what_drfox_says]

Yes, and then quick to tell their friends to be conscientious with theirs. If only they heeded their own advice.

It seems to be an epidemic of forgetfulness amongst these muns.

[mantenbou]

Unfortunately, a cure for carelessness and hypocrisy is yet to be discovered.

[She smiles, but it's somewhat sad. Like she's the one to talk about those, huh...]

All we can do is keep reminding them of it and believe in them, no?

[what_drfox_says]

[Megumi was quick to see that, but she didn't comment. She wasn't one for propriety, but neither was she the type to pry needlessly.]

You remind me a little bit of someone that I know. He always does his best to pursue what he believes in.
