Twenty-Sixth Flame-[Voice/Action]

[gogglesyndrome]

[Taichi's running around Luceti dressed in new winter clothes he received from Raine earlier that day and currently he's going to try and find her to thank her. He's bouncing more than usual and he's also munching on a cookie that tastes distinctly like lemons. Oh well.]

Finally! Happy birthday to me! Take that, Matt, now we're the same age again.

[In other words, Luceti, prepare for a human tornado of boy running around in the snow now that he actually can. He's wanted to run around since discovering Tear got kidnapped, so he's kind of just going. Feel free to bump into him.]

[ooc: Pretend this is backdated to the 20th because I was fail and gone all day. Also, thank you to the awesomely nice anon who renewed Taichi's paid account! I don't know who you are, but ♥!]

[Slightly disappointed that Raine wasn't home, he starts to head back...but what's this!] Raine! [Brace yourself, Taichi's running straight at her.]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[Raine smiles at him, and starts to give him a wave ... and doesn't have that much time to brace, so he's more than likely to end up knocking her over in the snow with his enthusiasm]

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[Yup pretty much, Taichi can't put on the brakes soon enough and WOOSH he slides right into Raine and knocks them both over.] ...oops.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

..... hello, Taichi.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Heyyy. [Scrambles to get up before offering Raine help to get up.] Sorry about that.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

It's all right, you just took me a little off guard. [She lets him help her up.]

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that wasn't expected. But hey, I was looking for you!

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

And now you've found me. [She dusts some of the snow off of her.] Happy Birthday. Do they fit all right?

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Thanks! [Enthusiastic nod here and then spinning around in an attempt to show her.] Yup, they fit fine. They're pretty comfy, too.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Careful, you'll make yourself dizzy. And good, I was hoping they would. How has your day been going?

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

It's been okay. Kind of just a birthday, but I'm going to head home in a bit to see what's going on there. [Leaving out the part that he's missing Tear but.] Where have you been?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

I'm sure you'll have a lot more exciting things waiting for you at home. I was just picking a few things up from the store. [Said things which she accidentally left in the snow, she reaches to pick the small bag up.] I have to admit I wasn't expecting this much snow already.

Re: [Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Exciting or not, it's cool. [Reaches out and dusts snow off the bag, since uh, it was his fault it ended up on the ground anyway.] Definitely, this is almost as much as we got during camp!

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

And that was during the wrong season at the time, correct?

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yup, it was snowing at the beginning of August. That's summer on our world.

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

It accounts for summer here as well. In any case, at least I know you're now dressed for it. How have you been doing, aside from that?

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[Awkward shifting] I've been okay...

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[She knows that look. Something's up, but is it worth going into on his birthday, after all those good feelings earlier?]

I see...

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah, just busy. But it's almost time for Christmas and then it'll be busier. [He's pretty sure Raine's not buying any of it, but.]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

[She doesn't buy it, but she has her own issues that she doesn't want to get into with him right now anyway, so their fail works out. Sort of. Maybe.]

That's true enough. Perhaps we can talk a little more about things when you aren't so busy?

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[It's kind of a "don't ask don't tell" thing. It'll be okay for now >>;]

I'm not that busy, but you were on your way home, right?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

That's right. I just wanted to get a few more things from the store, since this weather has been unpredictable already.

[She pauses thoughtfully.] ... Hmm.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I can walk you back if you want. [Though he tilts his head at the 'hmm', waiting for her to continue.]

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

You know you're welcome to do that.

... I was wondering how prepared your house has been for the weather, actually. How you've been getting wood for the fireplace... and making sure that your food supplies are stocked in case of a really big storm. We've recently been doing a lot of preparing, ourselves.

[Action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I think I will. [And he starts walking, waiting for Raine to follow. However, he hums in thought at that.]

...I guess we haven't really thought that far ahead. We have enough wood for about a week right now, and Yamato usually keeps an eye on the food supplies. We've got lots of blankets and stuff in the house, and now that Daisuke's here, he's helping out, too.
