Seven Spoons {Dictation}

[cyan_maid]

[If you were in the lobby earlier today, you may have noticed Jane staring at the room list in the lobby for quite some time, holding a plate of something really delicious and looking more upset by the minute. She fled the lobby, ran back up to her room, and slammed the door, which caused her journal to topple over and open just in time for it to catch these words:]

Gosh dang it! I missed him, he left and I waited too long and...gosh dang it to heck!!!!

[Clatter of a plate, scrape of a chair...and then a groan.]

It tastes perfect, too...oh, geez...

[Care to surprise Jane by speaking up?]

[not_mafia]

It's not your fault. Nobody knows why or when people leave, right? You had no way of knowing he'd be sent home.

[cyan_maid]

That doesn't excuse me for not trying to speak to him sooner...

[not_mafia]

Mmm, maybe not.

[KIND OF wants to ask if it was something important she needed to tell him, since she sounded pretty upset, but decides that's best left for another time.]

Ah... have you been doing well, lately? Besides your friend leaving, I mean.

[cyan_maid]

[Good idea Tsuna, you don't wanna open up that can of relationship worms.]

Me? Well, I've been as good as anyone can be, here.

What about you?

[not_mafia]

[but does he really]

I suppose I've been alright. A little bored, I'll admit...

[cyan_maid]

[Don't do it man]

Bored sounds much better than partaking in any strangeness from the castle, though.

[not_mafia]

[SO TEMPTING]

Ahahaha... I guess you're right...

[Wasn't too long ago that he experienced some of that castle weirdness. Natsu and him swapping bodies was... an adventure for sure.]

[cyan_maid]

[IT'LL BE AWKWARD MAN]

I suppose I will just have to make my move before something interferes next time. That's all.

[not_mafia]

["Make my move"? Jane do you even hear yourself.]

Oh, well... I hope you get to meet with him next time! If he does come again, anyway.

[cyan_maid]

[She's so lost in thinking about it she's bound to slip up.]

Thank you, Tsuna! So do I.

[not_mafia]

By the way... is it okay if I ask you how long you've been here?

[cyan_maid]

Of course! I've been here for two months. And you?

[not_mafia]

I've been here for almost two months, actually. In... ten days or so, I think?

[cyan_maid]

[She chuckles.] I see! What a coincidence.

[not_mafia]

Aa. It feels like it's been longer, though. Time goes by when you don't have school, I guess. [Or a pressing need to save your friends/the world.]

[cyan_maid]

It really does! Days just fly by.

[She says it cheerfully, but it's actually kind of saddening to realize.]

[not_mafia]

Mmm... I still haven't figured out what I should do here, besides going on that expedition.

[cyan_maid]

You'll be going on the expedition, too?

[Now she's wondering who else she knows is going...]

[not_mafia]

Yeah, I am! I'm guessing that means you're going as well.

[cyan_maid]

I certainly am!

[not_mafia]

I guess we'll be seeing each other again soon, then, won't we?

[cyan_maid]

I would think so!

[not_mafia]

I look forward to it!

[cyan_maid]

Me, too!
