Greetings, Master Tepes.
If my calculations are correct, the Snow Moon has waxed, and soon will wane back in my world, which signals the coming of my fourteenth year of life.
Now is hardly the time to celebrate, but I hope you will join me for more proper festivities come our return to the Hathaway ship.

Ms. Sullivan,
I would be delighted and honored to attend the celebration of your fourteenth year. In what way do you normally celebrate the day of your birth?
There is always room to celebrate such an important day. Please do not be concerned with that.

Were it my world, there were rituals I would need host on the full moon’s ascendency, as well as a banquet, and offerings in honor of the day... but I have attempted to tailor such things to the more modern mix of people we have here and simply have a gathering. Your attendance, and hopefully enjoyment, would be all I ask.
I will prepare something for you to be able to join the toast.

[ There's a pause. A slow inhale of breath, but when Lucina speaks it's just as composed as she had been moments ago. ] ... It seems that the guilds were not finished with their transfers.
[ Quietly, dignified, with little need to beat around the bush— ] I'll be moving to a new guild, sometime later this evening. I ... wished to say my goodbyes, so to speak.

[ The door opens quickly enough — the belongings in her room have been packed into two bags ( she never did have long to get settled ), and all that's left are the bare essentials.
Her uniform's been hung up neatly by the door, too — on her is a blue ALASTAIR cloak from times past. ] Alucard. [ But she smiles warmly upon sight of him ( today is not a day for mourning ). ] Come in. I don't have much, but—

Shh.
[Smoothly, Alucard kneels down before his friend, taking her hand. To the back of it, a tender kiss is placed.]
I wished to thank you in person for your kindness and friendship. I will not keep you, but you must know that I value you, as do many others.
And for good reason.

[ The reaction is immediate. Eyes wide, mouth open as she watches him move to his knees. ] What are you — [ She doesn't take the hand away, and she can't interrupt him, but —
She can give him a proper response, in a moment. Lucina crouches in front of him, eyebrows furrowed. ] Come stand. There's no need for you to — [ Kneel? Thank her for something that he shouldn't thank her for? Assume that he's taking up her time, somehow? ] we can speak, as friends, once we're inside.

[ Look how are you supposed to react when someone kneels in front on sight????
But she welcomes him in, the composure returning now that he's standing. Shuts the door behind them, only to have a silence settle over the room.
Eventually — ] I wanted to thank you as well — for your companionship, and your assistance last mission. [ Then, even quieter than before: ] We may have not known each other for very long, but I'm glad to have met you nonetheless.

[ That gets her to smile, her entire expression softening. After all the times she said the exact same words to the others ( with each one that was just as genuine as the one before )— ]
... I may be overstepping, but I'd like to ... ask for a favor. As a friend.

In this team, there's— [ Gods, where does she even begin with this? "Her aunt from the past" opens a can of worms she'd like to avoid dealing with if at all possible. ]
One of our guildmates — Lissa — she's ... family. I was hoping to protect her for as long as I am able, but as that is no longer possible...
I wished to ask you to just ... keep an eye on her. If that's alright.

I can bring it to your quarters. It's on my pad, so it's no great struggle for me to travel with it.
[ and, also, his space is a bit of a mess right now to an embarrassing degree. such is what happens when he loses himself in his work. ]
Just let me know when I may come to you.
