◌ 019 ◌ さよなら (Farewell)

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

[Fuu sits contemplatively in front of the windows, staring out into the stars. Above the pages of her Luministi journal she holds a pen loosely in her hand, her mind wandering from her writing.]

[Everything that had happened was so unbelievable. The end had been so sudden and shocking. And now... now she gets to go home. The thing that she wanted the most also fills her with the most dread - how can she possibly explain her absence for over three months?]

[But before she gets to worry too much over that, she should make sure that she says proper farewells to everyone she met here. Because they have shared a very unique experience together. Something they will be unable to share with anyone else.]


[ooc: Much the same as Xion's post, Fuu will be in search of everyone in order to say goodbye! Or, of course, you might find her first XD]

[blushes faintly] I hope it suits you.

A protective charm. I darned it into the seams, so it shouldn't wear or weaken. It was meant for this town, but I suppose we should be glad we don't need it here anymore.

[sorry for the delay!]

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

It is perfect. Your sense of design is just right.

[grin] We can indeed be thankful for that! But who knows when else I might need some protection. I will treasure it.

[And with a start she realizes that she has next to nothing to give in return but for some recently prepared food.]

Um... please accept this as a token of my appreciation. It's not much...

[From the top of her bag she brings out a square lacquered box and holds it out to Sophie. Inside is the sushi, onigiri and leaf-wrapped fish that she had made with Hawk.]

That's okay! Just forgive the upcoming icons as Sophie's paid account is about to run out

[fortune_sought]

[relieved] I'm so glad you think so.

Oh! My, thank you. [accepts the box, carefully opening it so she can see the contents] Is this from your world?

[Aw, no worries!]

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Ah, the sushi and onigiri are! It's rice with raw fish and dried seaweed.
[Points them out as she says the names, then moves on to the leaves.]

This, though, is from Hawk's world. It's fish and couscous with a coconut sauce.

And there go the icons!

[fortune_sought]

I see... [continues examining the food]

Would you like to share it?

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

That's very kind of you! If I may take one of the leaf-wrapped fish, I'll be very thankful. However it's not necessary for me to take much, for when I return home, I will be close to places that sell food.

I hope that you weren't taken while in a remote place?

[fortune_sought]

You did give it to me to begin with. [offers the box out to her so that she can take one of the fish]

Oh, not at all. In fact, I was in the castle with just about everyone at once.

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

And it's yours now! [Takes one and carefully places it in her bag.] Thank you.

I'm glad to hear that you came from a safe place. I'm certain they eagerly await your return.

[fortune_sought]

I shall be very cross with them if they aren't.

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

[Fuu blinks at what seems to be such a vehement response, but then chuckles.]

And you would be well within your right to be!

[Hugging the lovely green dress to her she smiles brightly at Sophie, firmly not allowing her expression to slip.]

Farewell, Sophie. All the best to you in the future.

[She bows and takes a deep breath. Saying goodbye is so difficult...]

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie is surprised to realise that this moment has come, but she understands as well. if they have to leave, better to part ways now, instead of drawing it out. she carefully closes the box of food and shifts her expression of surprise to a smile] And to you, Fuu. I'm very glad that we were able to meet. Farewell.
