[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.]

He does? I've only been learning for about a year now, so I still have a lot to learn. How long has he played?

As far back as I can remember. He used to always wear it around his neck, so he could play it whenever he wanted to.

He must have been very good at it then.

He is very good at it! There's mainly one song he likes to play, but he plays it really well.

What song does he like to play?

It's called "Aimo." [and because if people here don't seem to know Sheryl, there's no way they'd know about the songs Ranka sings.] You probably haven't heard about it, but it's well-known in Frontier.

[There is actually a holiday named after the song, if very recently instituted.]

What kind of song is it? Is it a happy song?

Mm, it is! I can sing it for you, if you want.

Sure. I like happy songs.

[There's only a moment before she starts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEIQrVhaVrU) to sing (http://interstellars.livejournal.com/1120.html?thread=2144#t2144). It may not quite be 'happy' song so much as a peaceful song, and certainly not unhappy.]

[Vash listens quietly and enjoys the song. Waiting until you've finished to say anything.] That's a very pretty song.

[she makes a happy sound at that.]

For a long time, it was my one and only memory of my past. I didn't remember my childhood or my family at all, but I always had this song.

Really? That sounds very sad... but you remember now?

[She shakes her head, even though he can't see it.]

It wasn't sad, not really. I had my big brother - [her inflection of the name is a little different than before] - who always took care of me, and Nana, and my other friends, too! Even if I couldn't remember anything back then, I was still happy. But I'm also happy remembering everything now. [even if some of it - maybe a lot of it, in a way - is painful.]

Well, that's good. I'm glad you have lots of people who cared about you and you are happy.

Mm! I was really lucky.

[Oh wait, did she really just

derail the entire point of this conversation, how embarrassing]

But I'm sure it must be the same for you, too!

[/DEFLECTION?

Also: because he's clearly such a nice person]

Yeah, I am, I've made some really good friends too.
