o44 [Action | Video]

[It's such a nice day out that Okita has decided to take the House 50 pets for a walk. Around mid-morning after he finishes his training, Okita can be found wandering around the village with the yellow chocobo Tammy in tow. And on her back? A disgruntled Saizou, wishing he could be down from the heathen bird. Tammy doesn't seem to care since Okita keeps plying her with treats to ensure she follows.

As he walks, he'll open the journal and turn on the video, showing him and the bird in the background.]

It's such a nice day out~

I wonder if everyone's in school or if they're on break~?

Are all the New Feathers settled in? If anyone would like a tour around town today, I'll be out with Saizou and Tammy~ Dog, unfortunately, can't take walks. Poor thing. But! That's okay~ He's happy at home. Come say hello! I really want to meet all of you.

I'm afraid my advice isn't the kindest. And I apologize for that.

Sometimes advice has to be... u-unkind to be helpful, I suppose...

[He remembers Grell's advice. And... in a way, it did help. Trying to be confident... that's what Don wants too, isn't it?

Likewise, in this case, this is what Vivi wants. He can't just wallow in his grief forever.]

I'm not the best at giving advice either. I'm actually kind of terrible at it.

[He laughs slightly.]

It can't rain forever though. Just remember that.

[Robert's mind kind of wants to take that statement literally, even though he's vaguely aware it's supposed to be a metaphor.]

That is... c-correct.

... Though I suppose in a sense this is... rather like an extended weather front. [Crappy joke attempt is a go.]

Still. ... I will try, for her sake.

[And eventually the pain... won't go away, but will become easier to bear.]

[Sorry, Robert, Okita has no idea what an extended weather front is.]

Good. That is all one can do in these situations.

[Maybe one day he'll learn, if he and Robert speak more often.]

... Thank you again for... l-listening.

Sometimes... sometimes that helps the most.

Perhaps one day we can... s-speak in person. I would like to meet Tammy and... Saizou, you said? [The pronunciation on "Saizou" might be a bit weird.] If both were a-amicable to the prospect, of course.

[Voice]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Of course. I think they'd like that, too.

[Voice]

[semper_cogitans]

Thank you...

I look forward to us speaking again in f-future, when things are... better, for me.

[That's... going to take awhile.]
