So much bloodshed. The clown named Kefka and now Vash-san. It's forbidden to get involved in private fights, but things like this make me wonder. How far should I follow the Code here? Is it considered protecting the people to take arms as a captain, or is it merely foolish of me to assume they even need protecting? Do I even have the strength to help?

The people here fight with fire and magic, things I can't comprehend. They heal with a touch and kill despite the impermanency of death. I fill my days with training and frivolous pursuits, music and art, helping at the Center, but my heart is heavy. We were men charged with war, with keeping the peace and killing our enemies. These enemies are foreign, worse than the rebels, worse than the foreign evil that came upon our shores and forced us into a treaty at the threat of annihilation.

I have no idea how to fight anymore.

It seems there's quite the commotion going on. Is everyone alright? And has anyone seen Sasarai-san?

Anyway, the Welcome Center is open to help New Feathers, the new arrivals, with adjusting to life here in Luceti. Please feel free to stop by anytime, or call upon myself, Sasarai-san, Martel-san, or anyone else who works at the Center. We can provide lodging and warm food and drink to help you weather the winter. Of course, that goes to anyone! Even those who have been here awhile. It's always nice to see friendly faces, hm?

Hijiri-kun? I'll be by later on to finally take you up on the music lessons, if that is alright with you? I'm afraid I was quite busy with the New Years and all.

[She'll just be walking in a few minutes later, holding a paper bag. So unconcerned.] Okita?

...Luna-san? Hello there.
[He really should have expected that and yet he's somewhat surprised to see her.]

[She's good at that. Anyway, she'll just drop the paper bag on the nearest flat surface to you.] I think it's finally done.

Oh! The mural? Did the wall behave?

[voice]

[lunarwit.livejournal.com]

Oh no, that won't be ready for quite some time. It's very large, after all. No, this.

[She pushes the bag a little to him. There's a scarf inside, mostly purple but with random splashes of other color as she found new yarns to use. He needs to stay warm, after all!]

[He blinks and looks down at the paper bag as it's pushed toward him, then picks it up and opens it.

;3;♥ Purple scarf with pretty colors! He takes it out and looks at it in astonishment before looking back to Luna.]
Did you make this?

[voice]

[lunarwit.livejournal.com]

[She nods once, quite simply.] Yes! For when you go outside.

...
[He smiles and tries it on]
It's wonderful. Thank you.

[She'll reach over and flip one of the ends back over his shoulder, then nods.]

Great! I thought you might like it, even if it couldn't decide what it wanted to be.

[voice]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[He laughs a little and reaches up to feel the scarf again.]
Oh? Did it take awhile to come together then?

[voice]

[lunarwit.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think it wanted to be a hat at first, and then a sock, but it decided to be a scarf. I think I like this best.

[voice]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[He plays with the end of the scarf, smiling faintly.]
I think I like this best, too. I don't use hats very often.

[voice]

[lunarwit.livejournal.com]

Do you like it, then?

[voice]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Very much so. It's lovely.
