[Today, each of his conquests, willing or otherwise, have a large vase nearly bursting with bright red roses delivered to their door by the ghosts.

Meanwhile, a handwritten note appears in the journal for each, signed at the bottom

'Until next time ♥,
Muraki Kaztuka']

[Lucrezia]

Thank you again for a truly enjoyable time. I hope I can have the chance to have the pleasure of your company in the near future.

[Shatterstar]

I still find myself thinking of our encounter. It's true that it was a result of the sickness that struck us both, but it's not an illness that draws me back to you.

I would like to know more about you. I think I can prove my interest is genuine.

[Vanyel]

I hope we meet again under better circumstances. I was not myself that day.

[ Aw, roses. Lucrezia has them out in a vase by the window before she writes back, and because she's a tease: ]

Perhaps.

Lucrezia

[madetosin]

[Oh, silly little girl, you amuse him so]

Let me know if there is any activity that strikes your fancy.

[Besides the obvious.]

Muraki

[heloise]

Activity? Doesn't that sound rather crass?

Lucrezia

[madetosin]

There are benefits to being crass from time to time.

Amusement, then?

[Muraki]

[asseenontv]

[He feels a little guilty, because Rictor... but on the other hand he doesn't want to stay celibate forever here either. So eventually he leaves a note in return]

I find this proposition amenable. Thank you for the flowers.

[Shatterstar]

[madetosin]

I'm glad you like them. I find the color suits you. [Because of reasons]

[Muraki]

[asseenontv]

Thank you again, then, for your thoughtfulness.

[He agrees but probably because different reasons]

[Shatterstar]

[madetosin]

You're quite welcome. [Which is loaded enough, again, to mean he's talking about more than just the flowers]

[Muraki]

[asseenontv]

Let me know when you'd like to meet again in the future.

[Shatterstar]

[madetosin]

I will be sure to do so.

By the way, what are your feelings on music?

[Muraki]

[asseenontv]

What sort of music?

[Shatterstar]

[madetosin]

Well, that's more or less what I was asking. What type do you like?

[Muraki]

[asseenontv]

I liked the stuff MTV played back when they still played music.

[Shatterstar]

[madetosin]

I wasn't aware it stopped.

[Muraki]

[asseenontv]

It's all horrible reality television now.

[Shatterstar]

[madetosin]

How tragic.

[He doesn't really care either way, to be honest.]

It was rather new in my country. I can't say I had time for television.

Muraki

[peacockherald]

No, I don't believe anyone was. So, yes, I hope for the same.

_{[He liked to think better of people, and really, he had become rather horrible too, so he had no right to judge or hold a grudge.]}

Vanyel

[madetosin]

[The one time you probably should, Van, but Muraki is keeping his peace]

Would you be open to dinner sometime?

Muraki

[peacockherald]

I... yes, I suppose that would not be a hard thing to make time for. Did you have ani dea of when?

Vanyel

[madetosin]

Not at the moment, but I'll be sure to find you when I find something suitable.

Re: Vanyel

[peacockherald]

Well, when you do, please, let me know. It should not be difficult to open up the time, seeing as I do not have all my duties as I once did.

[madetosin]

What duties do you mean?

[peacockherald]

I am a Herald, back in my world. It is my duty to keep Valdemar safe from threats both within and without as well as keep the peace between our peoples.

[madetosin]

The castle must almost be a vacation by comparison.

[peacockherald]

In a way, I suppose it is, though I have dealt with more strange things here than I ever thought I would in my life.
