[Action / Accidental Voice]

[It’s been a few days since the draft, but even though he hadn’t been sleeping very well the last couple nights, last night was better. Really, it’s hard sometimes to feel down with Milly around again. That unshakable optimism must be contagious. Or maybe it was the fact that he hadn’t had any feeling of Knives being close since he returned from the draft. Maybe he was sent home! That would be nice.

They had all been brought together again. It feels almost like a dream as it would have been impossible back home, but now not only were the four of them together once again, they had a home together. A place they always knew where to find each other at the end of the day. It was also hard to believe, as he thought about it, how many friends he had grown so close to after being here for over a year. Good friends.

Really, it’s hard to hate Luceti when it’s given you all that.

So Vash is visiting his favorite spots. The flower shop is first on his list, then it’s to the bakery for some lunch! He’ll take his haul of donuts to the fountain to catch up on his people watching until they’re all gone. He doesn’t have too long to linger there, with the weather warming up and the snow melting he heads out into the forest to see if any of the flowers he’s planted have started to grow back yet.

Okay… so that’s a bit of a disappointment - BUT IT’S OKAY! The snow is only just starting to melt so they still have time to wake up and start growing. Besides, he likes the snow, he’s a little sad to see it go. He thinks Milly would have loved to play in it.

He had intended to head home after checking on the flowers, but it was so nice out that he changed his mind. Opting to pull his harmonica out and practicing a bit on it. Of course as the journals like to do, it turns on against his will and records the music that he plays for awhile. Then he talks out loud to himself for a bit.]

I can’t wait to see your flowers bloom again, Rem. I know they’ll be beautiful when they do. I’ve been trying to take very good care of them for you.

It’s nice here, when it’s quiet like this. I haven’t forgotten what I have to do back home, but I really like these peaceful days here.

[A pause.]

I did the best I could, Rem, but I’m not sure if I really did anything at all. I wonder what you would have done differently. Was there something I didn’t see? Something else I could have done? I sometimes wish you were here with me again.

[This entry will be locked from Knives, Legato, and Yuber by the end of the day.]

Are...all of your friends here with you now, then, Vash? [Naoki tilts his head slightly at him, curious.]

[action]

[goldenglasses]

Well, no, there are other people I know and miss back home. But we four always somehow seemed to travel together all the time.

[action]

[scalethetower.livejournal.com]

Somehow, hm? Funny how things work out, in that case. [He muses it with a smile and cards a hand through his hair.]

[action]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash can't help but chuckle a little. Seeing as the "somehow" was mostly just the insurance girl's commitment to their job in the beginning.]

Yeah, it is funny how things turn out.

[action]

[scalethetower.livejournal.com]

Yeah... [Naoki grins slightly and then tilts his head to look up at the sky. Hm. Anyway--]

How's your friend been taking it, so far? Being here.

[action]

[goldenglasses]

Like she takes just about anything. With a smile and a grin. I think she might end up liking it here. [Of course, that thought has NOTHING to do with the idea that her dead boyfriend is here.]

[action]

[scalethetower.livejournal.com]

It's a nice place, most of the time, [Naoki says agreeably.] Perhaps I'll get to meet her, one of these days.

[action]

[goldenglasses]

You should! I think you two will get along nicely. [Partly because Milly will get along with ANYONE who isn't full of evil easily.]

[action]

[scalethetower.livejournal.com]

[As will Naoki. |D] Maybe one of these days, then.

[action]

[goldenglasses]

Well, she's hard to miss. She's really tall with brown hair.

[action]

[scalethetower.livejournal.com]

As tall as you and Wolfwood?

[action] :( THIS THREAD MAKES ME SAD NOW!

[goldenglasses]

Yup! Just about as tall.

[action] I'M SORRY ;3; /is all wibbly s-shush

[scalethetower.livejournal.com]

--is that a normal thing, in your world? For everyone to be that tall? [He's short. 8(]

[action] Yeah! I'm sure you'll meet her later! 8D 8D.... D8 YOU MADE ME A LIAR!

[goldenglasses]

No, not really. She's not called the "Big Girl" for nothing after all!

[action] I-I DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE

[scalethetower.livejournal.com]

[Pfff--] Heh, she is, huh?

[action] :( Yes you did

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, but she's a really sweet, good girl.

[action] 8( d-did not...

[scalethetower.livejournal.com]

I believe you. [Naoki smiles at him.] I have no doubts who you're friends with are good people.

[action] *never allows this thread to end. EVER*

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, I like to pick out the good ones. [He gives you a light playing punch to the shoulder. You're one of them after all.]

[action] ...it'll be like me and Reine's monster of a 700-comment thread

[scalethetower.livejournal.com]

[Naoki blinks at the punch and then laughs, rubbing the back of his neck.] I guess you have a good sense for 'em, then.

[action] *has a goal now*

[goldenglasses]

Of course! Only the best will do for me!

What are you doing out and about today?

[action] *A* Aw yeah.

[scalethetower.livejournal.com]

Me? Nothing much, to be honest. Thinking about things, mainly.

[action] :|b

[goldenglasses]

With the weather getting warmer it's a good time for a walk and a think.

[action] '3'9

[scalethetower.livejournal.com]

It is. And soon enough it'll get warm enough to go swimming, even.

[action]

[goldenglasses]

And then I can finally go see the ocean!

[action]

[scalethetower.livejournal.com]

It's amazing--take my word for it, Vash. I can't wait for you to see it yourself.
