Tch. [He had been looking around the firing range for some time now, and just confirmed his suspicions. Not that he expected there to be weapons there -- even locked up and guarded by sentinels or something -- but there wasn't even the smell of gunpowder hanging in the air that he was used to. With a bit of a smirk, said to the empty room.] Figures. Doesn't seem that anyone even uses this place that much.

[ Action | Closed ]

[Lockon didn't know what to tell Sakura. He had only met Ashton once, and didn't really know him all that well. Lacus seemed to have the better handle on the situation, on the whole, so he was fine with just cleaning the kitchen while the girls sat in the dining room in Lacus' new home.

But he couldn't help but overhear, just a little...]

	It's not clean quite yet, but it should be very nice once we're finished. It has a large kitchen too, so we can make lots of good things together. You're welcome here whenever you like, Sakura. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] [She smiles. It's not quite as warm as it should be, but it's a big leap from the sobbing mess she was earlier.] Thank you Lacus-san. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She isn't referencing Sakura living here, btw, just being generally welcoming~ fields_of_hope 2010-06-30 02:53 am UTC (link)
	Of course. Should we take a seat and wait for Neil? [gesturing toward the dining table] Are you feeling a little better? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh Lacus, you and your welcoming! <333 sakurangel 2010-06-30 03:09 am UTC (link)
	Okay! [will go to that dining table. and she gives a tiny nod.] I do feel a bit better....I can't forget about it though. [it's like the puppet show is on a replay button or something] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He had actually been there the whole time, but he didn't need to say that. Instead, he just pops out of the kitchen as if he had not just been there the entire time. In his hands he held a tray on which he had a couple of sandwich triangles, and bottles of juice. Not just any juice, either.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	JUICE! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It's good to see you again, Sakura. [A bit of a knowing smile to Lacus as he set the tray down on the table between the two, and then distributed the bottles.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Receives the smile and offers one right back, with interest.] Thank you, Neil. It looks delicious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Neil-san! Hello. [you just popped out of the kitchen ~~like a ghost!!~~] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[He takes one for himself, and pulls up a spare chair, sitting in between them, for easy reaching.] You're both welcome. Sorry that it took me a bit to get here. I had... an errand to run. [Giving Lacus a nervous smile, he mouthed "I'll tell you later" and then picked up a piece of sandwich to start on.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2010-07-01 04:24 am UTC (link)
	It's all right, Neil. I'm glad you're here, so we can give Sakura her gift. [She pulls out the small pouch Ashton gave her, and hands it to Sakura.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	1/3 sakurangel 2010-07-01 04:46 am UTC (link)
	Ah, thank you! [takes it. looks it over in wonder] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	2/3 sakurangel 2010-07-01 04:50 am UTC (link)
	[opens the pouch and takes out the locket.] Hoe... [It's...beautiful and Sakura's eyes widen at the sight of it. She has little to no jewelry back home, and seeing something like this makes her blink in wonder - was it really for her?] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	3/3 sakurangel 2010-07-01 04:51 am UTC (link)
	...Thank you Lacus-san, Neil-san. [handles it gingerly - she doesn't want anything this lovely to break.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	target_acquired 2010-07-01 04:56 am UTC (link)
	[His smile widens as he watches her reaction. At the moment, he doesn't want to remind her who made it, but there is something she should see before she puts it on, or stows it away.] Why don't you open it up? I haven't seen this yet, either. [And he'll just scoot over in his chair to get a good look.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2010-07-01 04:19 pm UTC (link)
	You're welcome, Sakura. [Waiting for her to open it!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sakurangel 2010-07-01 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	[oh it can open? and she pops the clasp.] ... [she looks at the picture of her mother first - exactly like the one she asked the warden to send to her] Mother... [the picture next to it catches her attention. The one with her and Lacus and Neil] .......... [and the picture begins to blur in her eyes.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	target_acquired 2010-07-01 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	[Her initial joy(?) aside, Lockon's instinct is one of worry. Did she not like the images? Was it in poor taste to have the other one in there, as they weren't family? Slowly, he leans to the side so he can get a better look at her face and then -- those better be happy tears or he's going to feel terrible.] Sakura...? [Quick look to Lacus, for her opinion.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2010-07-01 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	[She catches Neil's look, and only smiles softly. Sakura has had a difficult morning, and so emotional reactions are expected. She doesn't believe that the tears are sadness, however.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sakurangel 2010-07-02 07:34 pm UTC (link)
	[THEY ARE HAPPY TEARS. sniffling forever] It's lovely. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	target_acquired 2010-07-02 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	[Oh, that's right, she was also kind of helping that Ashton boy out, too. Lockon made the connection in his head as to why she might be so upset this morning, along with what Lacus had said earlier in the morning, after they both woke up. Carefully, he patted Sakura's head, with a smile.] It turned out well. I'm glad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2010-07-02 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	[Reaches over to, for the second time today, brush away Sakura's tears.] I hope you'll wear it and be reminded that you have many people who care for you, here and at home and up in heaven. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sakurangel 2010-07-03 01:53 am UTC (link)
	...I will. [promises] I won't forget ever. ...If I'm happy - then I won't worry the people I love. [determinedly] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Sakura's words were touching, and probably not in the way she expected. Today's events had him questioning a lot of things, like remembering those who had gone on before, and enjoying the company of those who are still there. A bit of sadness colors his otherwise cheerful expression...

And then Lockon decides that pulling both of them into a hug with one arm around their shoulders was a good idea; even if he has to slide out of the chair and plant a knee on the floor first to accomplish it.]
