[ Two long weeks came and went, stretching out, stretching the cord they'd thoughtlessly tethered to each other more and more taut.

Eventually, something must give. Or it snaps. The only two options, and wiser to allow it to snap -- but McGillis feels his resolve weaken each time he tries to commit to that option. Two weeks since they'd last spoken, since a night spent warming over, since that night spent sharing a room. The uneasy continuation of a truce that evolves in strange ways.

The memory of a thumbprint dragging against thin skin. The same spot of flesh still tingles when he thinks on it.

A new world on the horizon, status of the potential for danger unknown. He must message Gaelio.

whoa

my love

i've hungered for ]

»Gaelio.«

[ startin with a lil poke ]

[ Her feelings about this telepathy would have to be set aside for now. This was a time it really would be useful to have for lack of any other means of communication. It would be too much for her to maintain two telepathic conversations at once. She'd only barely mastered the technique. A simple text report would do. If he wanted to reply, she would get back to him when she could.

I've encountered McGillis Fareed in the forest. He's taken the form of a wolf and we are discussing the truce you mentioned. I'll tell you about it at dinner.

[Yuna has, on at least one occasion since their arrival in Shehui, come across Gaelio hard at work on security detail at the Anmung Tower, which is how she knows now to come stop by so she can drop off her daily Harvest Moon gift goddamn it why won't you be friends with her]

Gaelio! Hiii! [She waves one hand over her head as she approaches, and kind of...shuffle-jogs over?? Normally she'd be running but she has a cardboard cup carrier with two hot beverages in it balanced in one hand with a plastic bag hanging on that same arm, so she has to be careful despite her excitement!!] You aren't too busy over here, are you?

[ It doesn't take long for McGillis to notify Gaelio. Better sooner than later.

Shortly after he finishes his conversation with the member of Tekkadan, he brings up a telepathic link with his signet. His tone is similar to the message he had received the prior month about Julieta; short, to the point, uncertain. ]

»Mikazuki Augus has arrived.«

[Outside his door, Gaelio will find a small parcel addressed to him. Inside is a hand-written little book on pods and flight units as a bonus, with accurate diagrams so the information is easily accessible to him beyond mental transmission. Alongside this is a small device that easily fits in one's palm or pocket.

A small note included with it reads: Dress Module: prevents damage to clothing. Effective under all known conditions. Utility gifter, ahoy]

[ Happy Sunsu! Gaelio will find a poorly wrapped gift in black wrapping paper outside his door. There's a simple sleek black fishing rod along with a note in neat, royal calligraphy that reads:

Better than fishing with shoe laces.

-Noctis "Ray Jack" ]

[Gaelio will find delivered to him a box of pain killers. Tylenol #4 strength. He also will get a movie player with The Godfather and The Usual Suspects on it. It's signed in orange pen, "Themes of betrayal and loyalty: discuss. --DS"]

[ there's a knock on your door, gaelio! though when he opens it to answer, there won't be any person in sight - instead, there's a cutely-wrapped package on the ground. the paper itself is silver, and it's topped with a pink bow. inside is a homemade muffler in a deep plum colour, knitted with care and precision.

there's also a note written in in small, dainty handwriting. ]

~~merry chr~~ happy sunsu! i made this myself - i thought it would match your hair. i hope you like it! ♡

- your secret santa /ᐠ .ᆺ. ᐟ\ﾉ

[ little does he know, ruby will be watching from around the corner! she's using her invisibility magic to stay out of sight, hoping that it's well-recieved... ]

[There's a small package outside Gaelio's doorway wrapped in baby blue paper with small flower designs on them. Inside, he will find a lined notebook with rabbits and music notes in the margins as well as a pen set in different colours. There's a note that reads:

To Gaelio,

Happy Sunsu!! Hopefully these will be useful for you.]

From Nito Nazuna.]

»I found Julieta collapsed outside. She was attempting to remove her signet.«

[ well... she did remove it. details. ]

»I'm bringing her to Genette.«

[ Unlike the last time she had such a discussion with McGillis, Julieta doesn't feel the need to warn him while it's still in progress. And she isn't suffering from an injury like when she confronted Mikazuki. It all went surprisingly well this time. ]

Gaelio, I thought you should know Orga Itsuka is back in the apartment now. We talked it over and decided he can stay. I don't see it being a problem.
