trial 4 afterparty

[exequte]

[Boy, that all sure Just Happened, didn't it? It Sure Hecking Did.

Akane helps drag anyone who needs it out of the theater as best as she, a tiny frail sick girl, can, before heading straight to Hubert's room and retrieving the letter he had told her was there, and then finding a sheet of paper, a pen, and a small knife, writing a short one of her own, and paying Charon to send it to the afterlife.

After this she brings Hubert's letter to the mess hall, as gathering for food after these things seems like the common thread that's bound all of them together.

Akane herself still has a lowgrade fever, and that last trial was not easy on her, but it seems to her like there's more important things to do at the moment.]

[ His movements stop and he glances up, plastering on a smile a bit too quickly. ]

Sure. Please enlighten me on what you know, Hermes.

[somuchshipping]

[Hermes begins to go over the regiment he does to himself on a daily basis in detail. It's how he's so clean all the time.

Well, aside from the whole camouflaged gauze on his two front legs. It's actually not super complicated! Plus you can skip the glass cleaning stuff!]

[godspiousjasper]

[ He will, of course, actively listen to everything Hermes is telling him. There's a more genuine smile that falls across his face now.

Some of the darkness ebbs away slightly, too. This was nice to focus on. ]

If I follow all of that, think I can get Durandal to shine as brightly as you do?

[somuchshipping]

[Hermes will nod with gusto!]

OfCourseItWill! I haven't done this since I was first spawned in for just shits and giggles, you know!

[godspiousjasper]

Understood!

[ Somehow Hermes manages to make him actually laugh a little. This does help a bit. ]

Just promise me that you won't try to steal Durandal once I have it looking all nice and polished, okay?

[somuchshipping]

[Hermes freezes. Crap.]

...I promise I won't try and steal Durandal.

[Maybe something else...?]

[godspiousjasper]

Thank you.

[ A pause. Then he nods his head as something comes to mind. ]

Though I do have some things I can give to you if you want them for your collection?

[somuchshipping]

[Hermes bobs up and down excitedly!]

I'dLoveToSeeThem!

[godspiousjasper]

It may have to wait until i'm doing a bit better, but as soon as I am? I'll take you to my room and we'll see if anything catches your eye.

[ Which may be a lot of it but he's not too picky about the things that he's gotten up to this point. He'll definitely be allowed to take a lot of things if he wants to! ]
