"Dai seems to have overslept. Listen, you should get some sleep before our meeting. Whatever she wants from us, seeing you like this is only going to worry her. I can drop by to wake you up before the time's here." Jack said, awkwardly. Jack pauses for a moment. "Wait, haven't told you yet. Me and Vil got letters too."

Zeig breathes a notable sigh of relief.

Ah good.  Well if we all got letters perhaps she's throwing us a party for up and disappearing like that!  Oh!  If there's going to be a party then I need to be presentable.  This worried face just won't be welcome there!  A short nap should fix me right up, so come and wake me up after Dai rolls out of bed, won't you?  (If I can sleep at all)

"Sure thing. Rest easy, now." Jack smiled.

DAI is currently walking down the street, returning to his house from his early morning trek...he sees VIL and JACK standing outside ZEIG's house, so he approaches with a questioning tone to his voice.

"Uh...morning guys, you're all up early, wh-what are you up to?"

DAI's voice was obviously shaking, he seemed a little nervous under his shadowy veil, while moving something around in his sleeves out of sight.

[Private to teslas: I'm gonna say DAI got up early to try and find a gift for Sara since it had been so long, I'm thinking a flower, or perhaps a home-made perfume with his craft(alchemy skills)]

Jack sighs and knocks on Zeig's door. "Oh, nothing much, just waking Zeig up." He looks at Dai, "He had a pretty rough night. How was yours?"

DAI's yellow eyes shift from side to side, before he relpies.

"Y'know...same old same old? Um...s-so what happened to ZEIG?"

Seeming to get whatever he was fumbling with into a safe place, DAI's hands now dangled at his sides, his fingertips barely showing from under his long-sleeved robe.

"A man came around and started babbling about his mother and something he was supposed to give him from her. Did you get a letter from Sara?" Jack asked, suddenly.

DAI stepped back a second, seeming on the defensive.

"W-What? How'd you know? Who told you?"

DAI was speaking quickly, in a bit of a fluster.

Zeig pushes the door open with his shoulders slumped against it.

"Yaaaawwnn.  Why is it always so bright outside?"

DAI, eager to change the subject, turns his attention to ZEIG.

"Probably because of that huge ball o' fire in the sky hm?"

Jack took his letter from his pocket and showed it to Dai, before looking up to the sky. "It's probably the sun." He grins as Dai says much the same at the same time.

DAI eyes the letter, reading but not touching, before letting out a sigh.

"O-Oh...so we all got one of those? I mean...Right! It only makes sense because she had been gone so long...hehe..."

DAI's voice has the slightest bit of disappointment in it, but quickly tried covering that up with a sense of expectedness.

OOC: Sorry if I'm over-RPing, just a level I've gotten used to...I feel weird if I don't have descriptions before and after dialogue.

Zeig perks up a bit.

"Dai!  Did you get a letter from Sara too?  She's throwing us a party!  I can't wait.  I bet there will be flowers and wine and freshly baked bread..."

In reply to DAI (msg #30):
You're doing just fine.

You're describing things the other players and NPCs could actually notice that might affect their reactions to you.

AFK for an hour. Please continue on without me. Feel free to simply say "We go eat lunch together and wake ZEIG up around x o'clock or something. At the same time, please feel free to shoot the shit to build character relation and depth. If you wish to interact with any NPCs, please wait.

DAI's eyes showed the hint of a somewhat forced smile, even if his face could not attest to it.

"Yeah...wine and...baked breads..."

His head dropped while he spoke, before looking up with a word of genuine joy.

"Well...it has been a while sine we got to visit the gardens..."

"Yeah..." Jack said. He looked to his own little garden, and decided to bring the princess some of his own. He looks at Dai. "I'm thinking of bringing her some of my vegetables. I have some flowers, too, if you want to bring her some."

A genuine look of contentment breaks through Zeig's exaggerated facade.

"Yea.  Just like old times.  We're all together for once."

DAI stayed silent a moment, before slowly turning his head to JACK.

"W-Why would I want to take some flowers? I-It's just friends hanging out in the royal garden...but uh..._{what kinds did you have}?"

DAI's weak attempt to hide his words was abandoned halfway through...and he decided taking some flowers might please the princess after her long absence.

Jack replies innocently "Well, it's been so long since we've seen her and I'm already bringing those vegetables and all. Let's see... I have some assorted tulips. Some daisies and bluebells..." Jack grins. "Quite a few, actually, maybe you should just poke around 'til you find some you like?"

DAI cleared his throat lightly, before holding up a single hand as if to say something...then merely walking past and kneeling next to the flowerbed.

"Hmm...this one smells sweet...and she likes bluebells..."

DAI spoke mostly to himself while forming the small bouquet, before standing again, turning around, looking quite out of place with his robes, and featureless shadow of a face, hovering lightly above this groups of bright colors and sweet scents, the juxtaposition was sublime.

Zeign squints and rubs his temples.

"All this time and effort towards healing people and I haven't figured out a way to cure headaches yet.  Maybe it'd be easier to just block out the sun."

After noticing Dai amongst the flowers Zeig leaks out a smirk.

"Now there's something you don't see everyday."

Jack realized they'd moved to his house without him realizing. "We still have quite a while 'til the meeting." Jack reminded him, though his smile didn't change. "I should probably think about what I'm taking, as well."

DAI avoids the gazes and smiles he was sure were being pointed at him, before decidingto show off a little bit of what he had been working on these past months, and years.

"Well...not like it's that big of a deal, if the flowers start to wilt I can breathe them back into being with but a snap of my fingers."

As he says this he snaps his the fingers on his left hand, to illustrate, when the flowers he's holding all suddenly become the same shade of bright blue, petals, stems and all.

"W-WHAT? Darn it...I keep doing that on accident...well, it'll fade in an hour I guess..."

[Private to teslas: Used free prestidigitation, changing flowers' color for an hour, mostly did it for fun though :P]

Jack blinked. "Cool! Didn't know you could do that." He paused. "Can you do more colors?"

DAI looked up with some frustration apparent in his voice.

"Yeah...it seems that it always turns bright blue when I snap my fingers though...whatever I'm holding, it's really annoying for books because...well the whole page is blue, no writing anymore...bah."

DAI was inspecting his gloved hands closely, apparently wondering if his digits were to blame for this occurence.
