Week 5, Monday: Anthy

[withsadness]

[Mary waits until Alex and Ichigo are gone to approach Anthy's table, her hands folded behind her back like she's holding something.]

Can I sit with you a little bit longer?

[ she blinks a little in surprise, but then nods. ]

Of course, Mary.

[withsadness]

[Mary smiles! Yay, Anthy said yes! She takes a seat across from her, and then puts out on the table what she was holding, pushing it forward for her. It's a folded up piece of paper! If Anthy decides to open it, it's a crayon drawing of all five of them (and Nanami(?) and also Max) sitting around the kotatsu and eating together.]

I never really talked to you alone before...I should've tried harder to be your friend. Even so...would you keep this? I want you to remember all of us always no matter how the Game ends.

[rosemance]

[ she looks at the picture. her expression a little unreadable, but it normally is anyway. when anthy does look up though, she looks... pleased? maybe. ]

Thank you. I'l hang it up. [ she gives it another look. ] And it's fine that we haven't talked. You've been very busy.

[withsadness]

You will? I'm so happy!

[And she is--her smile is much wider, now. It doesn't matter much to her if Anthy's expression is somewhat hard to make out...because her words seem sincere. Mary scoots her chair in closer to the table.]

But it should be easy to make time for you! I'm going to do it from now on...it might be the only chance I get! I want to ask you some things, if that's okay. It's not about how to win the Reaper Game, this time.

[rosemance]

Really? Well, what do you want to talk about first then?

[ she smiles again, carefully setting the picture on the table before her. ]

[withsadness]

Ummm...

[So many choices! Where to start...]

How about...do you still have favorite people? What about least favorite people? You don't need to tell me any names if you don't want, I'm just curious about how you feel.

[rosemance]

I personally don't like Taako or Magnus, but that's more because they keep sending me strange things in the mail.

[ she sends stuff back, but. you know. ]
