Loss. [Action | Front Gate]

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

[Not wanting to suck the life out of the quad and not feeling up to training, Snow had found himself a seat on one of the raised planters that held a few small trees and some decorative plants, out past the ID checkpoint in the landscaped area. There he sat, hands on his knees, head bowed, and thought.]

[In his right hand, he held a crystal.]

[As far as he knew... he had lost a sister. And he was amazed how much it hurt.]

[Mikuru reaches into her pocket to touch the note she received on Christmas. It always stays on her person, as a reminder of who she takes these classes for.]

It's so weird how that happens... [Even though underneath it all, Mikuru is a little jealous: She'd love to have her friends here, even if they were from different times.] I hope she'll come to like you again like she did in your time.

[Oh, wait till he finds out the truth...]

If she doesn't, it won't be because I didn't try.

[That gets a smile out of her.] I didn't think so.

I feel a little bit better, at least, just talking about everything. [He flashes her a grin.] Thanks for listening.

[And Mikuru's own smile brightens to a grin in return. Helping people in even the smallest ways is so satisfying.]

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help.

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Of course you could. What else are heroes good for but helping?

[bunnypassingby]

[Mikuru actually has a think for a moment, looking to the sky as she tries to come up with something that doesn't fall under the realm of "helping".]

... I don't know!

Seems to me like you're getting the hang of it, then!
