[The news of his sister’s engagement came as unexpected to Mithos, even though it probably shouldn’t have. Raine has been with Jack since before he had even been born; he’s known the man his entire life. He’s always accepted it as the norm, and despite the over-protectiveness he harbors for his one and only sister, he entrusts her wellness to the strange, strange man. But getting married is always a big deal, isn’t it? The supposedly unbreakable bonds of marriage have always been part of an odd, grey area in their family, marred by the conspicuous absence of a father Mithos never knew. But whom Raine had known. He just wants to make sure his family is in good hands.]

[written | locked to Jack Sparrow – 50%]

Jack,

I trust you to take good care of Raine. She’s my only sister, and she deserves to have all the happiness in the world. You’ve done fairly well these past nearly fifteen years that I’ve watched, and even before then, but that doesn’t mean you can start slacking off anytime soon.

Your soon-to-be brother-in-law,
Mithos

[A short while after relaying this message, he can be found all about the village plaza. The mission: find something that suitably says “Congratulations, beloved sister of mine, you’re getting married!”, and within the budget of his slim allowance. There is no tradition that dictates such a thing, but he feels it’s necessary anyway. Feel free to run into him at any point on his trip, which includes the flower shop, the clothing store, and the general item shop, as well as on the way from and back to Community Housing 2. Of course, he’ll stop and rest by the fountain at some point too.]

[Dhaos still likes his solitude, but apparently he spends it outside instead of inside, despite the fact that people are more likely to come and interrupt it. And so, Mithos will probably find his brother-in-law on his way to the square from CH3, which is conveniently down the road from CH2.

Dhaos does recognize his friend's little brother, and his head turns in the kid's direction as he sees Mithos approaching.]

[You may note that your mother isn't at the door right away when you first come back; that is simply because she is freaking out—by freaking out, I mean perched on top of the counter hunched in a terrified little ball with a duster in hand.

She notes Mithos with some anxiety in her face.]

Mithos—you've got to help me! Th-there's a strange creature...!

[Said creature ribbits rather loudly in response. :|]

[He sees you there, best friend of somewhat estranged brother, but he isn't sure what etiquette this situation calls for. After all, the way he sees it, Dhaos and his sister are a significant factor in Yuan's irresponsibility toward Mom.

He can't just ignore him, though, and offers a somewhat stiff greeting.]

Hey.

[He quickly (but gently!) sets his purchase down and hurries over to rescue his poor mother. When he sees what her assailant is...well, it's to be expected. He briefly sighs a smile and proceeds to work at calming her. Placing one hand on her upper arm, he rubs soothingly.]

Mom, it's all right; it's just a frog. It won't hurt you.

[Vash is at the flower shop today, looking a bit tired. Someone might have had a little TOO much fun at the festival, regardless - it's a possible customer! So he puts on a happy smile.]

Hello, there! How can I help you!

[OH MY GOD MITHOS DON'T WALK NEAR THAT THING—

Wait, wait, what?]

A... frog? What's that...?!

I'm looking for something to get for my sister.

[Dhaos is aware, but he's not sure it's his place to tell Yuan to be more responsible. A little hypocritical, actually, given his attitude towards Yuan and Martel's marriage...

Anyway, have a nod of acknowledgement.]

Mithos.

Oh! Your sister? [What a good brother.] Well, do you know her favorite flower? Or maybe color?

It's an animal that lives in ponds. See- [he ducks down to scoop the creature up...except it hops away. Ack. Try again... and miss. Third time's the charm. Triumphantly, he pops back up to show mama.] -it's probably as afraid of you as you are of it.

[Which clearly means that catching the poor creature is the right thing to do in this situation. Hey, it's a learning moment, okay?]

[Even more later, at home! Since... Raine probably was running errands for most of the day. She still needs that wedding dress, but she'll do that tomorrow.

Still, it will be one of the last few days to spend with her family at the apartment, with her items already moved and- it's just bizarre. The building she grew up in, and then moving so far away-

She's a in a reflective mood, lost in her thoughts, thinking about life's changes and the future. Mithos may find her by a window in her now empty room.]

How did everyone hold up in all that confusion earlier this week? [...Not that he cares how Yuan is. Nope. And despite his not-quite-friendly feelings toward Dhaos's family, he wouldn't wish harm on them.]

[a quick nod.] She's getting married, so I wanted to get her something nice to congratulate her.

[he thinks for a moment.] She likes orange.

Most people I know personally woke up in the correct houses. [Except Grune, but she wasn't rattled at all, so no mention of her.] And you?

[First, Ginko is going to curiously read this message that is not for him.

Then he is going to be around town, himself, keeping an eye out for his nephew. It's been awhile, and all.]

To My Future Brother-in-Law:

You've nothing to worry about on my account. Raine will be cherished and protected and loved as long as we both shall live forever and ever.

Also, slacking? I'm a new man, now.

Your Future Brother-in-Law,

Sparrow

[And guess who spots Mithos on his walk through town today? None other then one of Kaori's big brothers. He'll pause and wave upon seeing him, smiling a bit.] Hello, Mithos.

Edited 2011-04-23 21:48 (UTC)

[He lightly knocks on the already-ajar door, slowly pushing it open as he steps into her room.]

...Hey, sis.

[It's weird. For his entire life, she's lived right here in the room next to his, and now...she's leaving. Of course she'll still be around, living in the same village and all, but it's a big change for him to adjust to. He's always thought of himself as his sister's protector, but he would be lying if he didn't acknowledge that he was dependent on her in return.]

[Lucky for you, Uncle Ginko, this version of Mithos isn't quite so technologically adept.

Said nephew can be found sitting by the fountain in the center of the plaza, just taking a moment to enjoy the pleasant weather. A small bouquet of flowers sits across his lap.]

[She'd still have to come back to the village proper for work. Thankfully they did have Noishe, willing to provide transport.

The sound of her brother's voice shakes her momentarily out of those thoughts, as she shakes her head a little and turns away from the glass.]

... Mithos. Everything all right with Mother?

To my future brother-in-law who (says he) does not slack,

You're a good person. I believe in your ability to love her and keep her happy, but that doesn't mean I won't keep an eye on you.

Just remember that I'm still the one who protects her best.

Mithos

Hey, Frey. [...protective big brother of that one girl...] How are you today?

Mithos--

You're wrong there, mate; I'll be looking after her now. Appreciate the sentiment of course, but once she's mine, she's mine to protect.

--Sparrow

Yo, Mithos. [he spots him and the flowers, and strolls over]

Oh! Married! That's pretty exciting!

Hmm, orange... orange. We do have some nice tiger lillies! What about those?
