fortieth

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

[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]

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

How have you been finding Paradisa so far?

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

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.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

[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.

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

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

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

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

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

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

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

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

Is Halloween celebrated in your world?

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

No, not really.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

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

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

I look forward to it.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

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

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

That sounds fun.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

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

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

So I've heard.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

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

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

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

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

Quite so.

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

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

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

[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.

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

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

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

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

[haha, they certainly have that in common. mmm candy]

I hope you do. I should be able to answer any questions you have as well.

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

[It is the answer to most of life's problems. That and a nice cup of tea.]

I'll definitely remember that for the future.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

[yessss, tea is ♥]

Good.

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

I should allow you to get back to your work.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

No work at the moment, but Dro and I should get to dinner, yes.

[whuffy sound from Dro]
