[folklorist]

This post here is for personal conversations which should happen but one or both of us doesn't want to put up a new post/log and thus we will just thread it out here. This can be used to thread with Helios anytime and anywhere. This can either be in person (with action), or via the journal's call feature (voice and/or written).

When replying to this post please mark in the subject line when and how it is taking place EX:
[Action, March 11th]
[Voice, September 8th]
[Written, June 10th]

/Books. Tea. Any magical artifacts that could potentially find its way onto the shelf, but the latter would be too dangerous./ [She's thought on it! Birthday and Christmas too.

And sometimes those bucket loads of optimism are appreciated when she's running low.] /I really hope so. I'll have to get lots of tea ready for his return./

[Ginia glances at him, surprised by his words, but in a good way. She knows she doesn't need anyone's approval, but with Helios being both of their friends and especially Giles' closest friend, that assurance is nice.] /Presumptuous? No, I don't think so. Giles has done so much for me ever since the first day we met. He's been very good for me and I hope I can do the same for him. But it's nice being in love and being loved. Haven't felt that for a very long time./

[She shakes her head and laughs quietly, still blushing.]

/Look at me. I came here to check up on you and now I'm rambling again. Can I get you anything while I'm out here? Tea? Cookies?/

[folklorist]

Ah those sound about right. But not all artifacts are bad actually. You just...have to know how to use them. [ Just a small laugh.

Despite everything that happened last night? He's surprised he even has any left. But, well, things can get better and they usually do. ]

It is nice, yes, very much so. I'm not sure any feeling in the world is quite like it. When you...find the one you're meant to be with, it's almost on a whole different level of feeling. [ His tone is a bit distant as he utters those words. He remembers finding Elise by way of luck or fate. The first time meeting your true light was an experience and feeling that nothing could equate to. He snaps out of his thoughts at Ginia's signs right in front of him. He moves to hold up both hands wincing again in pain with the action. He holds up only one. ]

It's really quite alright Ginia. I-I can make some later if need be. You don't have to do that. Thank you for the offer though.

/With my luck? I'd find the one seemingly innocuous item that turns out to be a doomsday device./ [A small pause.] /I'll run any artifacts I find by Giles./

[Ginia smiles a little as she listens to Helios, recognizing that tone of voice. Well, well. It's really not so surprising, but it is curious.] /I think it's a little too early for me to say Giles is the one, but I have felt a connection with him I've never had with anyone else./

/Of course. Maybe later?/ [Because she will keep an eye on him one way or another. And with Giles gone, it's no fun drinking tea alone.]

[folklorist]

[ He manages a chuckle one that's genuine and not masking anything at the moment. ] Knowing the Malnosso they...they would put something like that in the shops. [ There's a bitter undertone to that statement but you know that's what happens when your best friend torments and abuses you because of one of the items provided by them. ]

Well you have plenty of time to work it out between the two of you. Who knows, Luceti brings many a person from different worlds together. [ A shrug. ] But I'm happy for the both of you. [ They both certainly deserved it. A pause then nod. ]

And, yes. M-Maybe l-later. [ Probably not though. Or not until these wounds are gone or you drag him out of the apartment. ]

[shadedsunlight]

/Maybe it can still serve as a nice paperweight or conversation piece./ [It would be like them; the masks are proof enough of the things they'll leave around for others to find.

Time. Ginia's smile wavers slightly as she remembers Ripper's words. Things change so easily and she's loving a dead man. But no, if the amount of time is uncertain, then all they can do is make the best of it.] /Thank you, Helios, it's good to hear that from you./

[A nod, a strengthening of her smile. One way or another, she would continue to check up on him and make sure he wasn't pushing himself too much.] /Later then. I'll hold you to that./

[Her foot is pulled out of the doorway.]

[folklorist]

They do make remarkable conversation pieces. It's not everyday one comes across the holy grail or something like that.

[ He nods that smile still maintained. ] It's just the truth, really. But, oh dear, you're holding me to it? I best not disappoint then.

[ Probably not this week sadly. Maybe once everything was better once things evened out and went back to normal like they always did. He'll turn, probably done unconsciously and absentmindedly on his part, and if she's fast enough she'll catch the bruise. But otherwise? He'll go to close that door. ] D-Do be careful, Ginia. A-And use the journal, if, if you need anything. You can always contact me but you know that.

[shadedsunlight]

[The bruise is noticed and she frowns a little, wanting to say something, but deciding to keep quiet. He doesn't want to talk, she won't press, but she'll still be around. Maybe around with bribes in the form of fresh brownies from the bakery.]

/Yes, I know, and you can always contact me as well.

Take care, Helios. Have a nice day./

[folklorist]

O-Of course. And you too Ginia. S-Stay safe.

[ Helios nods smile waning as he closes the door. ]
