[Special delivery to the fashion disaster! His parcel is lightweight box and inside...
He'll find some new clothes of decent taste, along with some coupons for some decent, normal clothing stores. And a fashion guide. AND ALONG WITH ALL OF THIS will be a grey beanie with the words "FASHION DISASTER" sewn all around the sides. But there is at least one actual nice thing, and that is the sword maintenance kit that will definitely keep that hugeass sword of his sharp and ready for fights.
[Uh-oh. This probably isn't the person Naruhodou is looking for, because the voice that comes back is probably unfamiliar, somber, and undeniably French.]
I'm sorry, but...I doubt that message was meant for me.
For the most part, Ritsuka's sorted out any lingering confusion and disorientation after he nearly month-long spell encased in crystal. After all, other than apparently worrying her friends, it hadn't really been too bad, all told. Inconvenient and a bit confusing to wake up to, mostly.
Mostly.
There's still a point or two that emerged from all this that's been nagging at her. The problem is, given the people it's related to, she's pretty limited in her options if she wants to seek some advice about it. But, eventually, she makes a decision, and reaches out over the mental connection of the amulets to send a voice message to one of the more... levelheaded of the Servants.
Sanson? Are you busy?
She does a pretty good job of keeping her our doubts and unease out of it, too. The Dunamis practice must be paying off or something.
The Dunamis practice may be paying off in allowing Ritsuka to mask any emotions from her message, but the fact that she's shooting off a telepathic message is already a bit of a red flag for Sanson. Especially after their adventure in the labyrinth.
Nevertheless, he also responds to her as neutrally as possible, stripping his message bare of any worry or anything else.
But this is neither the time nor the place for Sanson to comment on the emotions behind Ritsuka's message - or lack thereof. Some things are better discussed in person, after all. Even if the telepathic link is as private as one could possibly get.
Besides, it would be nice to have her at his house instead of him usually turning up at the bathhouse or wherever she was.
I don't mind at all. Would you like some tea or something to eat?
Privacy is one thing, but sometimes it's also perhaps a little too intimate because of it. Too easy to let things slip before one gets one's thoughts in order, and so on.
Ah, I don't need anything.
Though of course she won't object if he makes some anyway. She's just a little too focused on what she's thinking about right now, is all.
I'll be there in a little bit.
And with that the connection's closed. He can, of course, contact her again if there's more that needs to be said on his part, but otherwise Ritsuka will show up at Sanson's door oh, perhaps ten minutes or so later.
Even if Ritsuka says she does not need anything, that doesn't stop Sanson from making tea anyway and taking out some mini croissants he had bought from a nearby bakery. When she arrives, the tea and croissants are on the table in the living room, with Cosette asleep on one of the armchairs.
Sanson opens the door for her, greeting her with a smile and gesturing for her to enter his humble abode. And humble it is - sparsely furnished, yet homey in its own simple way. Servants did not need much, anyway.
"Thanks for having me," Ritsuka says as she steps inside. The place is still as spare as ever, perhaps she ought to get him a few things to decorate with for Christmas? Still, it all reminds her of her first day in this world, when she and Sanson sat here while he explained this world to her.
[This holiday thing is new to her, and while she didn't really know to give gifts last year, she knows this year! She's pretty bad at making things, but knitting? She's good at that. And all of the past year she's been busy making things for everyone she knows (it's not a lot of people, but her circle of acquaintances and friends is slowly growing,) Sanson included.
In the package he's getting via bird is a scarf and glove set (she's not sure he needs them with him being a servant and all, but) with a scarf pattern of some sheet music and black gloves. While she had created these for him, there's some gentle feelings, mixed with something... maybe a little deeper than an admiration for him? But because this place is what it is, those emotions and feelings are now infused into the items. They'll keep him warm, but also on occasion if he's wearing them around her, he'll get a bubbling of her adoration and more-than-like(?) toward him.
Accompanying the set is a note:
"Charles, thank you for everything you've done for me. I'm glad you found your way into my life, and I will not forget your kindness to me. I don't know if you necessarily need things like these, but I hope you like them all the same.

Not at all. What is it, Master?
no subject
Date: 2019-12-17 02:03 pm (UTC)I was thinking of maybe stopping by, since it's been a while. If that's okay.
She hopefully shouldn't have to say why she's checking first rather than just dropping in.
I wanted to ask you about something, too.
Totally nonchalant.
