[there's a small sound of contentment, the sounds of stretching, and a little thud as Albus throws down his quill, and picks up the journal to dictate]

If there is a line, I think I crossed it quite a while ago. I feel like I haven't spoken to my friends in ages! [can you hear the smile, and slight guilt in his voice?] Purely my fault, I'm afraid; I was caught up in work in my room, then busy with our findings beyond the borders, only to come back and find myself with a roommate, (thank you again, Ken, for accommodating me) and then to throw myself back into work again.

[there's some whining, and whuffy sounds. Albus laughs]

Oh, yes, it's partially your fault too, Dro, but I don't blame you a whit for it. You needed the attention. I'm just glad you're feeling a bit better now, after some time outside and some rest. Isn't that right?

[there's a pause, and a soft growl, which Albus is going to take for a yes 8D he ruffles Dro's mane]

We'll go get you a good dinner in a bit.

[directs himself fully at the journal once again. warmly:]

Now, as for you folks. How are you all doing?

[is in like. a random good mood. 8D even ... more so than usual. talk to him or something]

Two, actually. Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy.

Ah, I see. Hermione and Draco are nice people.

Yes, they are.

Who are you, if I may ask?

Albus Dumbledore. Please, call me Albus.

And yourself? You don't seem familiar.

Ukitake Jyuushiro, I've only been here a few weeks.

A pleasure to meet you then, Jyuushiro, if I may call you that.

How have you been finding Paradisa so far?

Aaa... [It's a bit forward, but he doesn't want to offend the man.] It was a little overwhelming at first, but there are a lot of kind people.

[is good at sensing things like that!] Mr. Ukitake, then.

It's one of the pleasing things about Paradisa; you're never too far from a friendly face. And like all things, we adjust.

I feel very lucky to have met so many friends in such a short time.

So do I. It's uncanny, really, how much easier making friends seems here than at home.

I'm blessed to have many friends back home as well.

Mmm. [didn't really have friends at home]

Is Halloween celebrated in your world?

No, not really.

It will be a new experience for you, then. It's quite fun, really.

I look forward to it.

I'm sure the Castle will have some sort of event or other.

That sounds fun.

Let's hope it will be. The machinations of the Castle aren't always to our liking.

So I've heard.

We're normally prepared, and if not, we do manage to survive. I just hope it's nothing too much.

As long as everyone has a friend to watch out for them.

Quite so.

If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. I'm always around for anyone who wants me.

[awww, that catches him a little off guard]

Such a kind offer; thank you very much, Mr. Ukitake. Let me extend the same to you as well.

[Making friends is his mission in LIFE. That and candy.]

Thank-you, I'll make sure to remember that.
