[ For...probably one of the first times since he's been here, Emil actually sounds a bit unhappy when he speaks to the journal (and, you know, the castle as a whole). Probably should have filtered this, but he never remembers about those. ]

I'm sorry, everyone-- I guess that this curse I have can't really be fixed... If that scares anyone, I understand. I'll be fine. After all, I'm kind of used to it by now.

Um, anyway...I just thought I'd let you know about that.

I'm in my room now. It's 808.

Emil

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

I'll be there soon. [She shuts the journal.]

[siebter.livejournal.com]

[ Closing his too, and...waiting by the door, because he knows if he doesn't, it'll just get awkward when he trips over everything trying to get there quickly. ]

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

[Elektra will arrive a few minutes later, knocking at the door politely with her free hand.]

[siebter.livejournal.com]

[ It opens pretty much right away, and Emil looks...not entirely unhappy! He's still a bit disappointed, yes, but he really likes having friends around, so that helps a bit. ]

Hello!

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

Hey. [Elektra manages a smile though she's not sure how sincere it is.]

I brought tea and candy. Interested? [It always helped when Ukitake brought for her.]

[siebter.livejournal.com]

[ If that lack of sincere happiness is in her tone, he can definitely hear it-- of course, he can't tell the same about her smile. ]

Oh, thank you! What kind?

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

[Her voice is about the same... cheerful but, unsure whether she was genuinely happy or not.]

Jasmine tea, Draco's chocolate frogs, and some miscellaneous stuff. It's an acquired taste.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

[ Aww. Paradisa mommy ;w; ]

I never tried those before...

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

Well now you can. [Elektra is taking a seat on the floor and spreading the items out.]

I think you'll like them.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

[ He sits next to her; though people would normally sit across from their friends, the whole sight thing doesn't really make it register to him anyway. ]

I think so too. You've had them, right?

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't mind at all. Elektra starts pouring tea for both of them.]

A lot. The old owner gave this to me every opportunity he got.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's nice of him!

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

It was. He was always doing things like that.

[She sets the pot down and starts drinking.]

[siebter.livejournal.com]

[ He'll wait a bit before he starts drinking anything; it's probably a bit hot still. ]

...was?

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

[Elektra shrugs.] He left.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

Oh...I'm sorry.

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

It's okay. We had good times together. [She sounds like she's repeating someone else's words.]

[siebter.livejournal.com]

I guess, but...I know if someone I really liked left, I'd be sad.

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

[Elektra sets her tea down, sighing softly.] He wouldn't want me to be sad so I'm trying not to be.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

But isn't that more because he wants you to be happy? I mean, if you miss him, it's okay to feel sad, and once you're done being sad, you'll be able to be happy again.

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

[Elektra glances at him, unsure of what to say. She hadn't thought about it like that.]

... You think so?

[siebter.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. If you're sad, it just shows that you really cared.

[likethetragedy.livejournal.com]

... [Elektra laughs softly.] You're probably right about that.

[siebter.livejournal.com]

So if you're feeling sad, it's okay. And you can talk about it too, or whatever you want.
