Summary: Holding a dinner so we can all get to know each other, this should end terribly.
Warnings: F for food?!

[This month's haul of transports seemed to bring in a lot of familiar faces for the residents of 103. Friends, family, comrades, terrifying generals who are your boss now- all sorts! ]

[It was Sophie's idea to hold a dinner. A dinner of family, for everyone to have a chance to meet each other and get to know each other better. It seemed like a nice way to welcome everyone into this horrible war. But hey, food! And so, Allen and Sophie made sure to invite their friends, family and comrades in order to have a warm evening together]

[And Kaneis, well, at least he isn't climbing out the back window at the prospect of social interaction for hours. This my friends, is progress. ]

[But gather around friends and family and terrifying boss! There's food, people, wine and games to be had! Just you know, try not to cough in it you sick jerks]

[OOC: KITCHEN | DINING TABLE...FLOOR...COUNTER | LIVING ROOM | BEDROOMS. Please feel free to tag around, thread hop and just have fun! If I left anyone out of the attending list please let me know! ]

[anklets]

Mm, to be welcomed like that... [ turns a mug in her hands ] So you're a friend of—?

[ cannot remember... Zelos' name... ]

[flashmaiden]

Oh- I'm a friend of Sophie's. When I found out she was here, I didn't want to leave her side.

[Read: I didn't want to leave her with irresponsible people.]

[anklets]

Sophie is the girl living here?

[flashmaiden]

Mmhmm! I live here too with her.

[anklets]

You don't find it cramped?

[flashmaiden]

Huh? Not really... I mean, it's more room than we used to have sleeping in the inns back home.

[anklets]

Did you not have a home to go back to?

[flashmaiden]

I did! But we were travelling the world, so it wasn't convenient to go home all the time to sleep.

[anklets]

[ a fast smile, so close to dimpling ]

It must be nice to live in all sorts of different countries like that.

[flashmaiden]

Mm. It was nice visiting them! I still love coming home to Lhant, though, even after seeing the world.

[anklets]

I think being able to say "I'm home" means a lot, at the end of all things. It's where you belong, after all.

[flashmaiden]

Right. I can't think of any place that's better to finally settle down. [It makes her miss Lhant, because she knows when she eventually goes home, her relief work comes first. There won't be any time to spend at home with her grandfather.]

[anklets]

I hope you'll get to see it again, soon.

[flashmaiden]

Thanks, but it might be a while yet! I'd like to help out here as much as I can before I go home. What about you?

[anklets]

[ the mug has begun to lose its heat; she continues to turn it round and round between her palms, without sipping at it ]

There are people important to me, here, and I need to care after them. That's all I can do.

[flashmaiden]

So it's the same kind of situation for you. I think it's good to have people you want to stay and protect.

[anklets]

They're the most precious to me.

[flashmaiden]

I take it Allen's one of them?

[anklets]

[ he is part of her puzzle-map, he is a sanity-pillar, his death would be to her what it would be to anyone else were a piece of the physical world be eaten up by a maw of nothingness, just as the death of everyone dear to her would be and has been— ]

He is.

[flashmaiden]

Then you should definitely come visit him more often, since he's an important person to you.
