003 ~*~ A call to... arms?

[ Phone, calls to: Holland, Shiki Tohno, and Taiwan ]
Hi! I hope I'm not catching you at a bad time, but I'm wondering if you wanted to come up this Saturday to help with the gardening? I think one final push, and we'll all be done!

I'll be preparing a big dinner as thanks for coming out, so any time you can spare would be great~


[ Action : 340 Brady Lane ]
[ Speaking of dinner, Meiling knocked on the other bedroom door, calling in for its occupant. ] Miss Patchouli, dinner is ready!

((ooc: No open portion this time around, but please use this as a chance to call or show up randomly at the house if needed!))

How did you meet? How did you two... you know. [ "Get close"? She just can't help her curiosity at this point. Maybe talking about it will help; maybe it won't. Meiling won't know unless they try. ]

The strangeness of this town eventually forced us together. We... became close on our own, though.

Forced you? [ Meiling gave her a surprised look, which softened only after a moment. ] --at least you made the best of it.

I... like to think we did.

... I truly loved him, in the end. Even though we weren't together... I fantasized a life with him at my side. It was nothing more than foolish dreaming...

Dreams are never foolish. [ Says the master of dreaming; both while awake, and not! She doesn't waste a single other moment, scooting back so she can drape her arms around Patchouli's shoulders. It's about the only kind of comfort she thinks she can give right now. She's never seen this side of Patchouli before, and it kind of scares her - the hug is just as much for the gatekeeper as it is for the wizard. ]

-Just the smallest contact... It was too much. Patchy clings to Meiling, weeping openly.-

[ That surprises her more so, but that's okay. Meiling is quite used to being a walking pillow. Just ask Flandre! (Actual walking during this is not advised.)

She just sits there patiently, holding on and letting Patchouli's emotions run their course, for however long it takes. ]

-It may be awhile.-

[ That's fine. It's not like she's getting old! ]
