twenty-five; GUESS WHO'S NOT (comparatively) DEPRESSED AT ALL ANYMORE

[onlyapparate]

It seems I left my journal in my suitcase all this time. That's quite a shame; I actually think trying to make Lemon Drops was a lot of fun. I'll have to try again when I get back to school and find some time. Though with my new duties, this may be easier said than done?

In any case, The conference has been instructive and things have been... good. I'm certainly looking forward to the new year.

[ SOMEONE seems happy. Unfortunately, no, he didn't "get lucky," but he did make out up with Kallen. Annnnd, since they're sharing the same room; there be cuddles. Lots of cuddles. Because that's just how they roll. ]

As am I. [ALL SMILES, YES.]

[voice; private]

[onlyapparate]

Things worked out.

[ except sob, why won't you cuddle with me ;o; ]

[voice; private]

[zealotringly.livejournal.com]

They did. I'm... sorry for putting you through all of that.

[Because you're a man and I'm not getting in the same bed with you cause you may have manly thoughts and want to take advantage.]

[voice; private]

[onlyapparate]

It's not your fault. It was a mutual misunderstanding. And that doesn't matter anymore, regardless.

[ :c :c :c b-but... I'm Thobari. I'm practically synonymous with justice and virtue! ]

[voice; private]

[zealotringly.livejournal.com]

I know. I just believed then I was making the right decision.

[Until you looked at another woman. >__>]

[voice; private]

[onlyapparate]

It may have been, at the time.

But now we're good, right?

[ I promise it won't happen again, baby. ]

[voice; private; in person] becaue it totally is.

[She's sitting on his bed because, who knows, this is how they ended up after making up and lots of hugs. She looks up at the ceiling before she turns to him.]

I would have to say so, yes.

[Liar =| I can predict the future.]

[onlyapparate]

[ He smiles. ]

I'm glad.

[ long time from there to here, baby~ /why is that my line. ]

[Palms face down on the bed, she leans back slightly. She sighs.]

...

[There's silence and it's kinda stiff.]

I should... probably mention something.

[She pushes herself up and turns slightly to face him.]

[private; in person]

[onlyapparate]

What is it?

[ Thobari is patient. Waiting. Accepting. (Honestly, he's so happy right now that nothing short of murder could kill his mood.) ]

I--

Somehow, I thought Yukimi knew about our relationship. I said something that involved us to relate to him and Maron and he acted surprised about us dating. [She looks away.] I called him out on it, thought he was faking. I didn't know who knew about us, but... he... really didn't know.

I'm sorry. I wanted to protect--

...

He said he won't bring it up, but--

[private; in person]

[onlyapparate]

Oh. [ Well, Thobari's face falls for a bit. What's he supposed to say? I didn't want him to find out for your sake? I wanted to tell him myself? ]

I'm sorry I never told you exactly who I told.

[ Though now Yukimi's probably feeling betrayed and forgotten and Thobari shouldn't care, dammit, because they aren't friends anymore, but... ]

It's not your fault. Yukimi and I are a little estranged right now.

[private; in person]

[zealotringly.livejournal.com]

I-- I'm sorry. [Believe her, she's totally 'A' about him knowing and letting it slip.]

It's all right. I kept it hidden for you sake. I just... ruined that.

[She looks away but brings her attention back when Thobari says his last line.]

Estranged? Did something happen? I know both of you were never on the best of terms but...

[private; in person]

[onlyapparate]

It's alright, I-- When it started, I was afraid he'd tease you for it. Now...

Things are a little complicated. [ Under normal circumstances, Thobari would blush about a fight with Yukimi. Now he just looks... angry. And maybe sad. ]

[private; in person]

[zealotringly.livejournal.com]

I actually thought he'd tease you. That's why I didn't say anything or tell anyone. I was new so I didn't know who talked to who and risk having him know...

....

[She notices that and places her hand on the side of his face. She says nothing, just offers comfort.]

[private; in person]

[onlyapparate]

[ Ahh, and this is why he loves you, Kallen. You don't ask, but you're still there for him. ]

He's... He's like that. I was used to it.

[ Thobari places his hand over hers and smiles softly. ] Don't worry about it.

[private; in person]

[zealotringly.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't be... not something like that.

[She smiles a bit.] I'll try not to.

[private; in person]

[onlyapparate]

He doesn't mean it. Or, he didn't mean it...? It's, like I said, complicated.

Thanks. When I figure it out, you'll be the first to know.

[private; in person]

[zealotringly.livejournal.com]

All right. I'll leave it in your hands then.

[numbersnfigures.livejournal.com]

Glad you've been, ah.. enjoying the conference...

[onlyapparate]

Yes. It's been fun.

[ Stop rubbing it, Spence. Thobari hasn't even hit second base. ]

[numbersnfigures.livejournal.com]

Monaco is absolutely beautiful. Have you had a chance to walk around a bit?

[onlyapparate]

Yes, it's lovely. I toured it a bit when I first got here.

[ Not gonna happen. Knowing Kallen, he's gonna have to propose before it goes down. ]

[numbersnfigures.livejournal.com]

Kate's dragged me to the beach.... I read, mostly.

[onlyapparate]

But there's so many sights! The architecture here is unlike any I'd ever seen. [ Then again, Thobari's never been outside of the UK before. Unless you count like, being born in Japan. ]

[ Thobari and his infinite patience find that aspect of her endearing xD; ]

[genki-ni-yuuki.livejournal.com]

The candy making was fun once I was able to figure it out.

[onlyapparate]

Yeah. I like cooking quite a lot, so new recipes like this are a great thing to learn.

[genki-ni-yuuki.livejournal.com]

I think I'm going to use all the ones I made as rewards for students.

[onlyapparate]

Hm, that could be a good idea.

[genki-ni-yuuki.livejournal.com]

It's cost effective too.
