♐ 012 // [Voice]

[Raven blows onto the journal, then wipes it with his hand, flicking through the pages to find out when the last time he bothered to make an entry with it was. He sighs, has it really been that long? Even thinking about how long he's been in Luceti for any extended period of time is depressing enough for him.]

If I didn't know any better I'd say this thing was startin' ta gather dust.

For those that hadn't noticed yet, Estelle was sent back home a few days ago. I don't know when exactly, but all her things are gone
[He pauses for a moment. House 12 is really quiet now compared to how it used to be. Of course he cared about the princess, he cared about everyone from their world, he's just finding it weird to see them all going home after so long whilst leaving him behind.]

Anyway! She used ta work in the library here and left some stuff regardin' it behind, or ta be more specific, she left a set of instructions on how ta sort the books as well as a set of keys. From the look of it I guess she wanted someone to take the care of the place if she ever got sent home, and considerin' she was working there long before I showed up then it must've meant a lot to her. I can pass the stuff over to anyone who's interested, just let me know! It's not gonna go anywhere by itself.

Oh, and if this old man's memory isn't failin' him again, which it does a lot, she also had a book club goin'. Books aren't really my thing though, if someone wants to start that up again then feel free. 

That's about it! I got nothin' else worth sayin', wake me up when it's hot enough for the women to break out the swimsuits.

[Filtered to Zack | He's not even trying with this filter]

Considering Yuri's been gone a while now, have ya got any ideas on what ta do with the guild?

[herotypical]

...More than I ever thought I would, to be honest.

[crisisrain]

Then why so hesitant to marry him? Marriage isn't about settling down in a house and havin' kids, etcetera, it's about showing that this one person is who ya love and want to spend your life with.

[herotypical]

It's a...huge step. And it's not like it's a guarantee for happiness. Maybe we're better off just being what we are now. O-or, that's what I've been trying to tell him.

[crisisrain]

Ahh, I see what ya mean. You're just not ready for that sorta commitment, right?

[herotypical]

I'm not sure if I'll ever be ready.

[ and -- with a most convenient timing -- their food arrived. ]

[crisisrain]

[Hooray, food! Raven doesn't hesitate his plate from waiter. He's hungry, ok.]

That makes two of us then! Maybe marriage isn't for everyone?

[herotypical]

[ it wasn't supposed to be jack's thing, either! but there the pirate went, getting all proposal happy. ]

Some people are just doomed to living in sin, I guess. [ she straightens her plate before her. sips some wine. ]

[crisisrain]

Ah, if this is sin then I must have a whole part of hell reserved for me already! [He digs a fork into his fish, it breaks easy enough to not require a knife. Seems to be a little over-cooked for his standards.]

Really, there's nothin' wrong with not being ready yet! Besides, this place just complicates love even further.

[herotypical]

Kinda wish I could just...take him back home with me.

[crisisrain]

You went to his world, so what's ta say he couldn't come back to yours one day?

[herotypical]

Not for good, I'm afraid.

[ she spears one of those mini corns on her fork. ]

[crisisrain]

[Don't mind him, he's starving.]

Doesn't mean they can't make it permanent in the future.

[herotypical]

[ she doesn't mind one bit... ]

I just don't think Jack'd come, that's all.

[crisisrain]

What about you goin' to his world instead then?

[herotypical]

Oh, I don't think so.

[crisisrain]

What makes ya think that?

[herotypical]

While I...definitely appreciated my time back in his world, I don't think I could make a choice that meant never seeing my sister again. Or my girls.
