WEEK 5

[divus]

H-Hello!

[Justice is always ervous when meeting with new people. Not that he hasn't spoken with Ishikirimaru before, but it's always different to meet with someone in private.]

Come...come in! How can I help you?

[ritualization]

Ah-- I just wanted to speak with you, actually. From what Ray-kun has said, you have already been helping.

[ishi offers him a warm smile, there, as he finds a place to settle in so he's not looming over this poor nervous kid?]

I came to thank you for that.

[divus]

Oh!

[Justice wriggles in his stool, his legs not touching the ground.]

Well...I really hope that it all works out. I'm sorry about, um, how bad you got hurt.

[ritualization]

I have had everything else taken care of-- it will all be all right, one way or another. But I very much appreciate that you were willing to assist.

[he bows his head, remaining there for a moment before he straightens once more.]

I do not know the details of what Ray-kun spoke with you about, but I felt it was only fair to see if there is anything I may do for you in return.

[divus]

For me? O-Oh, I don't know! Um, I don't really need very much.

[Except new followers after that mass exodus, but...]

I wouldn't want to put you out of your way or take your away from Merriment.

[ritualization]

There is not much that would put me out of my way-- but I truly do mean it, even if it is something simple.

[he'd be perfectly happy to just spend time with him or something if that's what he wants? he'd do that anyway.]

I know I have not spoken with you as often as I should, either.

[divus]

It's okay! I know you've been really busy trying to take care of other people.

[He looks from side to side.]

Then maybe, um, maybe your favor can just be more visits?

[ritualization]

Of course. I will visit as often as you'd like.

[his smile is definitely a little fonder, there.]

Do the others spend much time with you? I know we are all busy, but I hope they have made an effort to keep coming to see you.

[divus]

Y...Yes, they do! There's a few people who come and see me a lot. I haven't met everyone, but I...I get really happy anytime anyone visits.

[Justice can't help himself from tittering in excitement. Thinking of friends just makes him so happy!]
