It was honestly a miracle that the lights had managed to stay on with how intense the typhoon happened to be but he was glad that they had. He had quite a lot of schoolwork to finish and turn in once it passed since class had been canceled. Not that it troubled him too terribly much. He was used to working for such long periods and so late at night. Even if most of the time he did end up falling asleep at his desk.

Regardless of that though he couldn’t help but gaze out towards the storm and sigh, rubbing at his crimson eyes as he stifled a yawn. It felt so strange that his 18th birthday had come and gone like that. While he had gotten quite a few messages and kind words from his classmates the fact that it had passed like any other day still hurt just like it did every year. It only reminded him of how alone he truly was.

A sharp crack of lightning quickly pulled him out of his thoughts however and he let out a gasp at the loud sound, placing a hand on his chest as he took a deep breath. Goodness... How on earth he’d managed so far was beyond him. Every little sudden sound simply unnerved him. Not that it was surprising with how strong the storm was but he couldn’t help but despise how easily startled and anxious he always was. Even if he knew what the reason for it was.

[He was pretty sure birds were smarter than this; if they wanted to avoid the snow, they would fly to more warmer places than here. Or perhaps these birds were here to stay and to enjoy the cooler days with them. Whatever the case may be, Saito wasn’t very keen on hearing their constant chattering. It’s not like he understands them anyways...]

[But the woman he had been watching over seemed more than capable to hear what some animals had to say. But honestly, who cares? They’re just animals. Their lives were just as pitiful as a human’s life.] “Is that right? Has anyone considered assisting the travelers?”

“What… man?”

[continued from here]

[She said, offering him a tin box of chocolates. The box wasn’t very good, but the chocolates inside were definitely very delicious.]

“Here you go. It’s not much, but I hope you’ll like it. You’ve had a nice day today, right?”

[ It wasn’t difficult to catch him off guard, these days, and Brenda does it. He jumps as she addresses him, and takes a second to assess the object she holds towards him. Yes, it’s Brenda; yes, she’s definitely not a threat. But he can never be too careful. ]

[ But he holds his hands out to take the box with a gracious, if slightly uncertain, smile. ]

Oh, thank you. I didn’t really get anything for anyone, I’m sorry - but this is very generous!

[Giovanni had been planning this for days! Literally! Whole days! He’d trailed that rich looking guy to this tea shop. Surely it had to have some cool and expensive stuff to steal! He smoothed out the wrinkles in his cape and prepared to bust down the door. three, two , ONE-]

“Alright! Hand over all your valuables! For you are in the terrifying presence of Bonzai Captain Giovanni Potage and-”

“H- Hey. Where’d that guy go?”

[He scanned the room, eventually walking up to the woman behind the counter.]

Jamie himself is rather absorbed in his own book- a sketchbook, propped up somewhat awkwardly on his arm as he stares out at a simple but serene city scene. So he startles when he’s bumped into, but he only jolts slightly, composing himself quickly.

This girl- was she lost?

you look extremely handsome! lucky sissel

[she stiffened up a little when Brenda hugs her. She...]

“I’m sorry.”

[Lilith hugged her back, as tight as her human body could.]
