Kiku
2010-06-05T01:32:46.000Z
"Do you need help?"
Arthur
2010-06-05T01:33:22.000Z
looks up at him. "You can help if you want, I guess." he said. Really he was just looking for one particular thing.
Kiku
2010-06-05T01:35:16.000Z
"What am I looking for?"
Arthur
2010-06-05T01:37:48.000Z
scratches his neck. "Ah... That ring you saw before." he mumbled, blushing lightly.
Kiku
2010-06-05T01:38:39.000Z
"Oh..."*frowns some* "It was in that box."
Arthur
2010-06-05T01:39:47.000Z
searches through that box, then, hoping it wasn't damaged.
Kiku
2010-06-05T01:48:00.000Z
"Who is the ring from?"
Arthur
2010-06-05T01:50:03.000Z
sighs. "It wasn't particularly from anyone... it was sort of passed down."
Kiku
2010-06-05T01:51:43.000Z
"A heirloom?"
Kiku
2010-06-05T02:16:59.000Z
((brb))
Arthur
2010-06-05T02:21:22.000Z
shook his head. "Not really." He wasn't sure how to explain it. He dug through the box, trying to find it. "It's my own." He pulled out--
Arthur
2010-06-05T02:21:26.000Z
the wedding ring.
Kiku
2010-06-05T06:19:13.000Z
"Your own ring? That is one they use for weddings, hai?"
Arthur
says 2010-06-05T06:43:29.000Z
"Yes. It is complicated. I was married to my rulers until up about... maybe two centuries ago?" Honestly he couldn't remember anymore. But--
Arthur
2010-06-05T06:43:39.000Z
the ring meant more to him than that.
Kiku
2010-06-05T06:44:49.000Z
"Oh I understand...Is that why you treasure it?"
Arthur
2010-06-05T06:47:31.000Z
shook his head. "Each one of my rulers was not married to me. I was married to them." he held up the ring. "When they got married I would--
Arthur
2010-06-05T06:47:35.000Z
have to take it off."
Kiku
2010-06-05T06:48:48.000Z
"May I ask why you still keep it?"
Arthur
says 2010-06-05T06:49:49.000Z
"It reminds me of someone."
Kiku
2010-06-05T06:50:40.000Z
"Oh..." *he was not sure whom this could be*
Arthur
2010-06-05T06:52:52.000Z
held the ring up to the light, smiling at the fact that it wasn't scratched. "Still pristine as ever..."
Kiku
2010-06-05T06:53:41.000Z
*watches him curiously* England-san, may I ask who?"
Arthur
2010-06-05T06:54:11.000Z
blinks at him and smiles. "Elizabeth."
Kiku
2010-06-05T06:54:53.000Z
"Oh..I understand."
Arthur
2010-06-05T06:57:31.000Z
holds the ring in his palm, continuing his examination of it. "She's the only one I never took it off." He probably wouldn't still be--
Arthur
2010-06-05T06:57:38.000Z
keeping the ring if it weren't for her.
Kiku
2010-06-05T06:58:01.000Z
"She was special to you, hai?"
Arthur
2010-06-05T06:59:31.000Z
looks up at him, a small sense of sadness in his eyes. "Yes... she was very special." he murmured.
Kiku
2010-06-05T07:01:48.000Z
*gently touches his shoulder to comfort him some* "You should keep in a special place, so you can honor her memory."
Arthur
says 2010-06-05T07:03:39.000Z
"It should remain here." He gave a weak smile. He had his reasons.
Arthur
2010-06-05T07:04:11.000Z
[Night. Let's continue tomorrow, I'm like dead xD;]
Kiku
2010-06-05T07:04:20.000Z
((okay night!))
Kiku
2010-06-05T07:04:33.000Z
*looks at him confused some*
Arthur
2010-06-05T18:17:36.000Z
sighed a little. "I guess it's what she'd want?"
Kiku
2010-06-05T21:19:29.000Z
"Oh not to dwell on it."
Arthur
2010-06-06T00:20:34.000Z
nods.
Kiku
2010-06-06T00:26:04.000Z
"I can understand that, some things in our pasts are better to let them go."
Arthur
2010-06-06T00:27:15.000Z
sighs. "I suppose..."
Kiku
2010-06-06T00:28:38.000Z
"Will you be alright?"
Arthur
gives 2010-06-06T00:30:15.000Z
a small smile. "Yes. I should be." He had been fine up until now so he didn't see any reason not to be.
Kiku
2010-06-06T00:33:25.000Z
"I was concerned some...these memories seemed to upset you."
Arthur
2010-06-06T00:36:49.000Z
shook his head, digging around for a box to put the ring in. He'd probably get it if he knew the whole story, but he wasn't exactly sure--
Arthur
2010-06-06T00:36:55.000Z
he wanted to hear it. Or if he could tell it.
Kiku
2010-06-06T00:42:30.000Z
"What else are you looking for?"
Arthur
says 2010-06-06T00:51:06.000Z
"A box to put it in. I don't want it to get scratched."
Kiku
2010-06-06T00:54:04.000Z
*looks around and finds a small one* "Would this work?"
Arthur
2010-06-06T00:57:03.000Z
blinks, taking it. "This should work fine. Thank you." he puts it inside and gently closes it up.
Kiku
2010-06-06T01:01:53.000Z
"I am happy we found one that will keep it in good condition."
Arthur
2010-06-06T01:03:45.000Z
nods, placing it inside the bigger box that it was in earlier.
Kiku
2010-06-06T01:04:36.000Z
"She was lucky to have you care about her, I think."
Arthur
2010-06-06T01:05:40.000Z
isn't sure what to think about that. "I guess." he chuckles.
Kiku
2010-06-06T01:06:20.000Z
"Gomensai if that sounded odd."
Arthur
says 2010-06-06T01:12:46.000Z
"I understand what you meant."
Kiku
2010-06-06T01:13:47.000Z
"Oh..." * smiles gently at him*
Arthur
2010-06-06T01:15:06.000Z
stands up, brushing himself off of dust from the attic. "Alright alright I'll get you something to eat in a minute." he murmured to--
Arthur
2010-06-06T01:15:13.000Z
seemingly no one. Most likely a faerie.
Kiku
2010-06-06T01:15:52.000Z
*looked at him confused* "Was that directed to me?"
Arthur
2010-06-06T01:16:43.000Z
shook his head, smiling. "Faeries."
Kiku
2010-06-06T01:18:08.000Z
"Oh, I understand. What do you feed them?"
Arthur
says 2010-06-06T01:18:49.000Z
"They usually enjoy fruit. Honey too."
Kiku
2010-06-06T01:19:37.000Z
"Shall we feed them now?" * he was curious to see this*
Arthur
2010-06-06T01:20:47.000Z
gave a nod. "I'll feed them some peaches and honey."
Kiku
2010-06-06T01:28:01.000Z
"Do they usually eat it all?"
Arthur
2010-06-06T01:29:22.000Z
"Yes. I have to make sure they don't eat too much honey though.
Kiku
2010-06-06T01:30:44.000Z
"So I should be able to see them eating it, hai?"
Arthur
2010-06-06T01:31:58.000Z
hums. "It depends. I've never tried it. You might see the honey disappear... or they might just wait until you're gone."
Kiku
2010-06-06T01:33:15.000Z
"Oh." * he was disappointed by this, he had wished to see them eat it*
Arthur
2010-06-06T01:34:33.000Z
"Would you like me to make tea?" He leads him downstairs.
Kiku
2010-06-06T01:35:27.000Z
"Sure...If it is no trouble."
Arthur
2010-06-06T01:37:25.000Z
"I wouldn't ask if it was." he grins, moving to the kitchen.
Kiku
2010-06-06T01:38:22.000Z
*smiles gently at him* "Oh that is true."
Arthur
2010-06-06T01:39:46.000Z
opens the fridge, grabbing the honey.
Kiku
2010-06-06T01:40:31.000Z
"How often do you feed them?"
Arthur
2010-06-06T01:42:59.000Z
hums. "Three, maybe four times a day. Sometimes more. Hungry little buggers they are." He grabs a teaspoon.
Kiku
2010-06-06T01:44:19.000Z
*smirks a bit* "Neko is like that but I do not allow him that many meals."
Arthur
says 2010-06-06T01:45:21.000Z
"They eat more than us in general. Well, more often that is."
Kiku
2010-06-06T01:45:59.000Z
*nods* "You do not think they will eat when I am here?"
Arthur
2010-06-06T01:47:19.000Z
shrugs. "I'm not exactly sure. They hide themselves from most people to begin with. But then again, most people can just... see them.--
Arthur
2010-06-06T01:47:23.000Z
Like me."
Kiku
2010-06-06T01:48:26.000Z
"I wonder if they trusted me they would allow me to see them."
Arthur
says 2010-06-06T01:51:58.000Z
"Maybe..."
Kiku
wonders 2010-06-06T01:53:03.000Z
how he can gain their trust.
Arthur
says 2010-06-06T01:55:12.000Z
"Don't worry about it... they don't show themselves to most people." He pours out about three teaspoons of honey onto a small plate.
Kiku
2010-06-06T01:56:08.000Z
*nods and watches closely for them*
Arthur
2010-06-06T01:58:55.000Z
grabs a small peach also.
Kiku
hopes 2010-06-06T01:59:36.000Z
he can see them eat.
Arthur
2010-06-06T02:00:07.000Z
sets it on the table then starts to make tea.
Kiku
2010-06-06T02:02:41.000Z
"Is there anything I can do to help?
Arthur
thinks 2010-06-06T02:04:35.000Z
about this for a second before answering. "No, I've got it."
Kiku
2010-06-06T02:05:14.000Z
*nods and keeps his eye on the peach and honey*
Arthur
2010-06-06T02:07:12.000Z
finishes making the tea and chuckles. The faeries are eating the peach from the other side Japan is facing.
Kiku
2010-06-06T02:08:52.000Z
*looks at Arthur confused* "Are they eating it?"
Arthur
says 2010-06-06T02:10:19.000Z
"Yes..."
Kiku
2010-06-06T02:12:24.000Z
*looks closer and frowns* "I cannot see them.."
Arthur
says 2010-06-06T02:13:18.000Z
"They're eating it." he turns back to the tea.
Kiku
2010-06-06T02:23:57.000Z
*sighs and sips his tea* "They must not trust me."
Arthur
says 2010-06-06T02:25:32.000Z
"Don't worry about it. There's no saying you'll be able to see them even if they did trust you."
Kiku
2010-06-06T02:28:18.000Z
*nods* "I just want to understand you more so I wish to be able to see them."
Arthur
2010-06-06T02:32:10.000Z
doesn't really know what to say to that. He sips his tea.
Kiku
2010-06-06T02:33:43.000Z
"Did I say something wrong again?"
Arthur
2010-06-06T02:34:04.000Z
shakes his head.
Kiku
2010-06-06T02:36:36.000Z
"Oh..." *carefully sips his tea*
Arthur
2010-06-06T02:43:06.000Z
watches the faeries start to eat the honey.
Kiku
2010-06-06T02:44:22.000Z
*notices this* "They are still eating, hai?"
Arthur
2010-06-06T02:47:27.000Z
drinks more of his tea. "Yes."
Kiku
2010-06-06T02:47:49.000Z
"They make you happy."
Arthur
2010-06-06T02:50:18.000Z
looks at him a little quizzically.
Kiku
2010-06-06T02:51:19.000Z
"The fairies, you look much calmer when they are around."
Arthur
2010-06-06T02:59:06.000Z
blinks, thinking about this. "I... suppose that's true." he murmurs, holding his teacup at his mouth.
Kiku
2010-06-06T02:59:54.000Z
"They are good if they do that."
Arthur
2010-06-06T03:03:56.000Z
blushes a little. "Well I've known them ever since I was little." he scratches his neck.
Kiku
2010-06-06T03:05:09.000Z
*nods* "England-san, I do hope you can find that happiness in others as well.."
Arthur
says 2010-06-06T03:16:36.000Z
"Thank you... you're very kind."
Kiku
2010-06-06T03:17:23.000Z
*smiles gently at him* "I only wish you the best."
Arthur
says 2010-06-06T03:23:45.000Z
"You as well..."
Kiku
2010-06-06T03:26:15.000Z
"Arigato...I do hope we both can find happiness."
Arthur
says 2010-06-06T03:33:58.000Z
"I'll have to agree with you on that..."
Kiku
2010-06-06T03:34:22.000Z
"Do you think we will?"
Arthur
2010-06-06T03:42:37.000Z
shrugs. "Who knows? I'm not to say."
Kiku
2010-06-06T03:54:38.000Z
"I do not know either.."
Arthur
says 2010-06-06T04:55:31.000Z
"I'm sure it'll work out for the best." He moved to set his cup in the sink.
Kiku
2010-06-06T04:57:42.000Z
"Hai...you are still waiting on America-san, hai?"
Arthur
2010-06-06T06:21:22.000Z
blushes. "Ah... I'd rather not talk about that right now."
Kiku
2010-06-06T06:25:29.000Z
"Gomensai...I should not have said it..."
Arthur
2010-06-06T06:34:40.000Z
shook his head. "It's fine."
Kiku
2010-06-06T06:35:50.000Z
*tries to think of something to make it less awkward* "Are the fairies still eating?"
Arthur
2010-06-06T07:00:19.000Z
gave a nod. "They're almost finished."
Kiku
2010-06-06T07:01:09.000Z
"Um that is good..I do hope they enjoyed their meal."
Arthur
2010-06-06T07:07:55.000Z
chuckled. "I'm sure they did."
Kiku
2010-06-06T07:09:30.000Z
*nods unsure how this became awkward again*
Kiku
2010-06-06T07:10:08.000Z
*but to him many of his relationships have been awkward as of late*
Arthur
2010-06-06T07:30:45.000Z
hums, watching the faeries that were invisible to Japan. "They're glowing white."
Kiku
2010-06-06T07:31:40.000Z
"What?"
Arthur
2010-06-06T07:41:29.000Z
blinks at him. "The faeries, they're glowing white."
Kiku
2010-06-06T07:54:31.000Z
"Oh. Is that normal for them?"
Arthur
says 2010-06-06T07:58:16.000Z
"They change colors depending on their moods. White is happy."
Kiku
2010-06-06T07:58:59.000Z
"Oh that is good that they are happy."
Arthur
2010-06-06T08:00:07.000Z
nods. "Its probably because of the honey."
Kiku
2010-06-06T08:01:55.000Z
"They do not have that for a normal meal?"
Arthur
says 2010-06-06T08:07:35.000Z
"I don't often give it to them; too much can make them sick. I make sure to measure it first."
Kiku
2010-06-06T08:09:41.000Z
"Oh I understand so It is a type of treat for them, hai."
Arthur
says 2010-06-06T08:17:19.000Z
"Yes... more like a treat." he moved to clean up the dishes on the table now that the faeries were finished.
Kiku
2010-06-06T08:25:13.000Z
*picks up his own cup and sets it in the sink* "They do seem like good companions."
Arthur
2010-06-06T18:43:19.000Z
nods. "I've known them all my life."
Kiku
2010-06-06T19:14:04.000Z
"Well I am happy for you that you have them because they make you happy."
