[There's no vibrant smile when Sylvain opens the line. There isn't even a Sylvain for that matter. It's just text on a screen, a message carefully tapped out.]
Hey.
I'm looking to talk to someone who has left this place and come back again. Either actually leaving, or just that weird sleeping thing.
I... Have some questions. I could really use some help.

I thought about reaching out but... With it being so fresh for you, I figured it might be too much.
Uh. Are you doing okay? Adjusting well?
[Private Text]
I appreciate it, really. But you know, if you make a post like this, I can't not respond to see if I can help.
As for that, uh...I'm taking it one day at a time.
Thinking about "what would I like to do that's fun this summer" is the only future planning I have going on. Keeping it simple seems to help.
Still haven't shaken the, um. Nightmares? Yeah, can't seem to get those to shoo just yet.
But it'll happen!
What's up on your end?
no subject
Keeping it simple, though. That seems easy enough. Baby steps and all that?
... I guess I should be grateful that I'm only having the normal war nightmares. At least I learned how to deal with those years ago. Are you okay?
[Just going to pointedly ignore that question, it's fine!]
no subject
Um. I'm. Still alive? Which is good. Still waking up every day and still getting out of bed, and still doing my usual things. Which is good.
I'm going to assume this means I am good.
no subject
But hey. Being alive is good. And you are definitely alive. That or I am having a very vivid dream.
... You know, your mention of one day at a time, focusing on the small stuff brings something to mind. I don't know. Maybe I have an idea for how I can focus on the near future. A stupid one. But it's an idea.
You, uh... Wouldn't happen to be free to show me how to make a wedding cake, would you? I mean, I would absolutely pay you for whatever lessons are necessary and if you don't think you're up for it, that's totally okay too. I know you're still coming to terms with a lot of things too but...
I don't know. Maybe this can be us taking one thing at a time together?
no subject
;B
I would be honored to help you make an entire wedding cake, though I can't promise it will come out as good as the professional ones since...I have never actually made one before! But don't worry about lessons or payment or any of that! It will be something we can do to help take one day at a time, just like you said.
no subject
Not really. I think he's just happy for us. I feel like half of Fodlan knew Fe and I were in love with each other years before we figured it out.
But. That's... Really great of you, Jane. It'll be great. I'm... actually kind of excited now? That's probably so silly but. Guess that's me, silly guy supreme.
We haven't set a date yet, but I know I want it to be soon. We just... want to be sure we're doing it solely out of joy, and not because we're being affected by anything else that's happened.
Ugh, you probably didn't come here for me to talk about my relationships though.
So thanks for putting up with that. And for giving me the words of advice. Like I said. You're really great.
no subject
Aw, shucks, it'll be great, you'll see! But you'll have to be up on your feet after dealing with your own shots before we start. Can't have you being groggy and tired and falling asleep in the cake batter, after all! Not that I think it'd happen on purpose.
Not a problem. It's something you wanted to talk about, so it came out. That's usually how these sorts of "jam sessions" work, from what I am aware of.
no subject
I'm just glad he has someone who is patient enough to indulge him. I know I am really bad at it. It's so much easier to communicate with the Pokegear. Plus, you can make funny faces.
Don't remind me about the shots. I really am dreading getting them. Being willingly stabbed seems like crazy talk to me.
You're way too sweet for me, Jane. But I'm grateful. And I'm going to make it up to you soon, I promise.
no subject
It may be a little slower, but a letter is just as valid. I don't mind indulging him.
Will you believe me when I say they don't hurt? Because they don't, I promise. My Dad made sure I got all of mine growing up, and I was scared the first few times, but then I realized they weren't painful.
Shucks, Sylvain, you don't need to make anything up to me.
no subject
But, uh. Guess you probably didn't ask for that, huh?
I trust you, but I also... Don't know what to expect. I'll probably be a little nervous up until I get it all done, honestly.
no subject
I'm sure they wouldn't mind if, say, you have someone in the room with you? If that would help you be a little less nervous.
[Like if Sylvain wants to hold a boyfriend's hand he has full rights to do so]
no subject
Not that I can really blame the fathers in this case. Most people probably know that if their daughter is getting a letter from the Gautier estate, it's probably not going to be very, uh... Diplomatically sensitve?
I might do that. I think Felix is getting his first so... once he's better, I'll ask him to hold my hand.
no subject
[Dad Crocker just absolutely scaring the shit out of boys by displaying dominance via his strength and manly fortitude...hilarious to watch from the outside, mortifying to be the daughter of that man while he terrorizes someone who passed you a note into staying away. I can bet you it happened at least once.]
Aw, good. :B
