[ and then she hugs him because he's insane. ]

[faithkept]

[DON'T JUST HUG HIM BECAUSE HE'S INSANE. He will gently pat her back after like a brief moment of surprise.]

Whatever is this for, my dear?

[florescences]

Because I felt like it. Because I wanted to.

[ because he needs so much help. ]

[faithkept]

[HE'S SO FINE. The great part is how fast he can bounce back from trauma wowee!]

I see... Well. Thank you, then. I did miss being able to give you hugs.

[Which he'll do so, returning hers.]

[florescences]

[ is that great... or is that insane...

anyway, she'll just continue draping herself onto him until he objects. she's more or less testing how much he's been rebooted. ]

I did miss your hand in mind and how easy it was. Is there no guilt, Lucas?

[faithkept]

[IT'S GREAT. He doesn't seem to object! He is a very tactile person, hilariously; he just mostly keeps it to lil hand and arm touches and head pats.]

Ah... Are you asking if I hold any? I do, of course.

[florescences]

[ they can stay like this, then. ]

Okay. What are you planning to do next?

[ she's kind of worried about how fast he's bounced back even if he's still kind of zoned out in his own way. ]

[faithkept]

[They are staying like this... I SUPPOSE.]

What do you mean? [His head cants a bit to the side, expression curious.] I suppose I'll do what everyone else needs to do here in order to heal.

[florescences]

[ YOU SUPPOSE..... she's just being free on this last day of loss week.

she hums thoughtfully. ]

What do you think redemption means for you?

[faithkept]

[I SUPPOSE!!!! Good for her though, as she deserves.]

...I'm still uncertain. I ought to pray again and ask for a bit of guidance, really.

[The things he thinks he needs to redeem himself for are hard things to redeem himself for.]

[florescences]

Does the god here really answer your prayers?

[faithkept]

They do, yes. [A little nod!] I've only prayed to them directly once before, but they did answer.

[Everyone else writing letters and sending texts and Lucas just like hold my rosary.]

[florescences]

They do seem diligent about their job. At least that's what I get from their letters.

What do you think of them from the one time?

[ not everyone can be as religious as you, lucas ]

[faithkept]

[No one should be as religious as he is. That said, his smile softens and there is just such a warm look.]

It was a very reassuring experience. I wish that others could have it, but I understand that many are still very frustrated with God, so I don't know if speaking to them so directly would help.

[florescences]

I like them from my letters. They just seem very busy to me, but they've answered all my questions diligently.

[ she's fine with them but she is fine with everyone. ]

[faithkept]

[If only more people could be that way, damn.]

I'm glad that they have. I've heard they're making a greater effort to reach out when people contact them.

[florescences]

[ yes well you might not actually want that many people like elysia ]

It sounded like they felt like it was part of their responsibilities.... letters can be much like prayers.

[faithkept]

[I AKI THINK THERE SHOULD BE but also no one can do it like Elysia does it anyway.]

Mm... That's certainly true in some cases, yes. Though I imagine it would be a little faster to pray, they also didn't say much the one time I did. Perhaps in a letter, they can be more thorough.

[florescences]

[ the world would quake ]

I think so. Their responses were brief but understandably so. I think I'm befriending them, slowly but surely. Do you think God would accept a friendship bracelet?

[faithkept]

[it is already quakin]

I think they would, yes... They were rather cute about birthdays. Apparently they've taken to giving people cupcakes on theirs.

[florescences]

How cute...!

[ this is what she'd call gap moe if she knew it ]

Okay, I'll gift them more things so they can beautify their office space.

[faithkept]

Isn't it the sweetest thing? They gave me one, and I saw Jacopo get one on his birthday when we were all in the tavern together, as well.

[IT'S SO CUTE....... HE LOVES YOU GOD.]

I hope that they enjoy your gifts, but I'm sure they will when you have such impeccable taste.

HUH ]

When was your birthday?

[faithkept]

Ah... It was the sixteenth of February.

[Their second Sunday in Heaven. Happy Jing Yuan execution day! THE WAY KOHARU'S BIRTHDAY WAS ON HIS EXECUTION DAY i love this trend of execution birthdays]

But my birthday had only passed a few weeks or so before I died, so...

[Fake birthday.]

[florescences]

[ happy execution birthday.... watch someone get traumatized and die

she looks torn about this. ]

Happy belated birthday, Lucas. Twice over.

[ she's going to shift from draping over him to winding her arms around his waist for a more comfortable continuous hugging position. ]

Even if the timing for it was....
