[Martel was back. And regardless of whatever selfishness Sayo had scraped up within her, one thing was sure—she was undeniably happy that she'd returned. Mithos is happy. His sister is here. Of course, she had half-prepared herself weeks prior to this possibility.

He couldn't stay forever, Sayo. You knew this.

She smiles softly to herself, tying the knot atop a boxy frame in the kitchen. Lunch. She's... going to miss making three plates; when Mithos returns to the room, Martel still away--putting things away more than likely--

she turns and smiles, masking the bittersweetness of it like she was so criminally good at.]

Everything almost ready, Mithos?

[She doesn't motion to the lunches tied on the counter. Just two of them. But her hand rests gently on one as she speaks, sounding content with herself.]

Your leg isn't bothering you, is it? I know you've been moving around a lot this morning...

[ (Continued from here~)]

It's true. I... got really careless, and Freyjadour was kind enough to... let me be around anyway. He didn't want me to die. [There was a hint of awe and disbelief in her voice despite her efforts to hide it. She had been under the impression that she would never again come to like Humans for all the treacherous things they had done, but here was this man who continued to prove that he wasn't like the other Humans of her world. That, in addition to the kindness of the other people while she was a small child.

She couldn't lie to them, Mithos, or even herself. She would never be able to.]

[Continued from here.]

[Which is fine, because it gives her time for something to click.

That something being...] ...What else is different about you?

((OOC: The following is a continuation of THIS, for the curious! And also Kath herself because work ate her brain. :P))

Your sister... [Martel. Jeb knows how important Martel is to Mithos, but he can only imagine how that must have felt...] Oh, Mithos. I'm sorry the Malnosso did that to you. That's going too far...

[Then again, Jeb still believes this is as well.]

[Sayo's more or less better from her problems earlier on. Life was... getting back to the way things were. Less of that mental strife that plagued her; she realized after waking up that she was okay. The past was painful, but she was okay.

One particular day, as she's weaving, she stops.

She walks into the room where Mithos is.

She smiles wide.]

Let's go to the beach!

[The elf that seemed to have decided Freyjadour was his to watch had insisted upon him delivering at least one gift today. Putting it all until last minute was no good, wasn't it?

The problem was the gift in particular was one he couldn't get caught delivering. It was a simply wrapped present that he planned to leave on Mithos' doorstep after knocking, then quickly leave before he answered--

Planned, being the key word. Rather then being silent about it as he'd planned, he lets out a rather loud, pained yell as the small elf jumps up to dangle from his braid in a fit of mischievous curiosity.] You're pulling out my hair!

[Jeb had woken up extra early that morning--half because of what he was about to do and half because he had been stirred into consciousness by a little kitten tongue licking his face. However, when he had gotten dressed and started sneaking out the door, he found that his new companion wouldn't stop following him. Even feeding her didn't seem to make her happy. He didn't want her mewls to wake Silver up, so he picked her up and wrapped her in couple of towels...

Now the kitten (named "Marie" if her nametag was any indication, which made Jeb happy and sad at the same time) was bundled under one arm and a present was bundled under the other. Approaching Mithos' home, he felt more and more anxious. This was... probably a really bad idea. But he had come this far, so when he got to his destination he placed the present at the doorstep, knocking a little before turning to walk away.]

Okay, there we go... ["Mew."] No, Marie. I wish we could stay, but I know we're not going to be welcomed. ["Meeew."] Let's go home now, okay? I can introduce you to Silver and his Pokemon. [And he's off.]

[In the middle of the night, Jeb bolts up in his bed. His body shakes, gripping the sheets. A nightmare. He had a another nightmare about Tori and Michiru. He hears Marie mew at him from the foot of his bed, and he smiles.] Hey... [He puts his glasses on before giving her a reassuring pet.] It's okay, Marie. I'm all right.

[He glances over to his journal. He doesn't want to bother Silver yet again, so he decides to contact someone else. Before he fully realizes it, it's Mithos he's contacting.]

Mi...thos... Mithos? Are you awake? Sorry if I'm waking you up with this...

[Aleos had recognized quite a few of the names on the list the Malnosso had released, and though he was still relatively new he couldn't stop the worry that filled him with the thought of all those people being sent out to fight. And he had to stay behind, just like back home...

He wasn't going to let his friends go out there without sharing some of his concerns.] Mithos... B-... be careful out there. Please.

[Continued from here.]

[Jeb knows Mithos is back. Jeb has known for a while, having checked the journals for familiar names, familiar contacts. It's only now that Jeb has gathered the courage to contact Mithos, for two reasons--one, he knows things have always been rocky between them, and two, he doesn't even know if it's the "same" Mithos. His hand shakes as he writes the message. He just... has to do his best.]

Mithos,

It's Jeb. If this is the same Mithos I knew, I'm sure I'm someone you don't want to hear from. I'm sorry. But if this is the same Mithos I knew, I just wanted to tell you how relieved I am that you returned to Luceti. You once told me that you had no world to return to. It's something I've thought of a lot since you've left. ~~I've never wanted to accept the fact that you, just like Tori and Michiru, might be de~~

[He hastily scribbles out that incomplete sentence. It may still be legible, however.]

I'm glad you're back, Mithos. I hope you can be happy this time. If this isn't the same Mithos I knew, you can just ignore this. Truth be told, I don't expect a response either way. Just be happy, okay? Regardless of how you see me, you're still my friend.

Jeb

PS: For what it's worth, Merry early Christmas.

[Once he's sure the note has sent, he quickly closes the journal. He's still trembling.]
