[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.

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

[ oh. she's gone home? and just...the other week, estelle had helped her in the library.

so buffy pretends like everything's okay: ] Wanna have dinner? I find myself in need of a surrogate boyfriend this week. The actual one's out on a mission.

[Did he just hear that correctly or is he going senile?]

If I heard what I think I just heard then sure! It's been a while, we can catch up!

Seventh Heaven? Wear your best purple coat?

Hey! I do have other items of clothin' ya know! [The coat is just his personal favourite!]

What time?

Five-ish. Unless you wanna eat later. Are you from one of those weird eat-later cultures?

[No wonder she hasn't seen Estelle around for a few days. Although the two were never close, not even enough to be considered anything more than acquaintances, Naoto did help her out at the library everyday. Probably because she practically lives there. And Estelle was a sweet girl.

Naoto doesn't hesitate when replying to his offer-] I'd be willing to tend to the library in her stead.

[ He worked at the library, knew it was strange that Estelle wasn't in as usual. But he never thought her to have gone home. Yes they were just acquaintances but it's still hard when things like this happen, even for people you've only just been minor friends with. ]

I'm sorry to hear about Estelle. She, ah, put a great deal into running the library.

I'm from the weird culture of eat when yer hungry. Five'll be fine! I'll meet ya there!

I figured people might be interested in takin' it over, it's a good place, lots of uh... books.

[Well, he ask to ask really.] Did ya know Estelle very well?

[Oh, Ragna remembers this guy. They got into something of an argument about breasts. Not that it matters, but the last part of the entry definitely reminds him of it. And Ragna's finding it a little tasteless, since he just announced that someone went home.

Normally, he wouldn't care... but with how long Noel's been missing...] Swimsuits. Really? Is that really the last thing you're gonna say?

[ sounds like her kind of culture, really. ]

Catch you later, alligator.

[ and! true to form! the slayer will be standing just inside the restaurant's entrance, waiting for her prince to come... ]

Hey! Don't phrase it like that! It makes it sound like she died! [Let's... quickly backtrack to the point at hand.]

There's a few books from the library that are still around the house. I wouldn't want her hard work there ta go to waste.

[Oh it's you.]

If I sat around depressed about her leavin' then she'd be upset with me for it.

[Prince isn't the word Raven would use, knight would do much better. Regardless, he shows up on time, happy to see that she's here already!]

Buffy darlin'! It much better ta see ya in person!

Oh! I, ah, apologize. I d-didn't mean for it to sound that way. [ Sheepish laugh. Good job Helios! Oh dear. But, yes, deflecting now to other topics. ]

But um. As for the library...

[ Hm. ] I...wouldn't be opposed to taking it over. Or, at least, offering myself up to help run it. Though there are a good few of us working there right now. I'm sure everyone's help would be appreciated right now.

But you don't think it was a little out of taste?

I've been thinking about it, and I'm still not really sure, to be honest. Luke and I were talking about it becoming sort of an anything-goes middleman group, like a way to find the people most qualified for a job request... we kind of already do that anyway, though. But with nothing to fight and the alchemist Yuri found handling the building jobs we don't want, business is kind of slow.

[It's a tricky problem to solve, which is probably why it gave Yuri so much trouble.]

[He was just teasing.]

Oh, there's a few of you workin' there? Ah! Think ya can give me some names? Then if they respond ta this I know they've been helpin' in advance! If you wanna take it over then yer more than welcome too!

Not really? Why would it matter ta you anyway?

Business in Luceti has always been kind of slow though. Maybe it might be an idea ta get all the members together and see what they have ta say. If I'm honest, I dont even know who's in the guild...

[Because that's not how he'd handle it if Noel went home. But what does that matter?]

Just calling it like I see it.

[Raven and Estelle were never exactly SUPER CLOSE BUDDIES!]

I'm sure you've been in Luceti fer way longer than me. People come and go all the time, if ya sit around moping and bein' depressed for days on ends it doesn't do anyone any good. I miss her, of course I do, but I wouldn't want her to be brought back ta this place ever.

[ Helios is so easy to tease. ]

Myself included. I believe Naoto, Caesar, Ami Mizuno, and a few others. But, hm, if it's not too much of a hassle I certainly wouldn't mind doing so.

[ Not that the library would be run under just one person. But Helios would never mind to taking it over especially working there for as long as he has. ] It really would be a shame for it to go unattended. Though with all the readers we have in Luceti I doubt it'll ever truly come to that. Estelle didn't...leave any messages or notes on the subject, did she?

[Raven has a point. But Ragna is stubborn, and always lets his emotions get the best of him.]

Still. Swimsuits? [Perverted old man.]

Swimsuits are just one of the bonuses ta do with summer. I don't like the cold, I want it ta be nice and hot already!

[And you know, swimsuits are awesome.]
