You can say something, I guess."

Hello Roxas,

This is long overdue. I could give you several reasons as to why I've been so delayed, but I feel it may be moot.

I wanted to send a note in regard to the unsavory business of my capture last month -- in that I'm aware you were there to help me. I apologize for not lingering long to acknowledge you then (again: several reasons, probably moot), but I did notice you.

Thank you. I shudder to think of how long I would've had to put up with that had you and the others not come to my aid.

I'm not sure what the appropriate show of gratitude would be in this circumstance; where I am from, valorous feats were repaid in gold, land, or titles, typically. I have none of those to offer. I'm afraid I must defer to your judgment in this case, so please advise me of what you would wish to accept.

I'll await your response.

Kind regards,

Cecelia

[It takes a little while for him to reply. Not TOO long, just long enough that maybe he was on an errand or something. Because he's not really sure what to say? But he's happy to hear from her. But he's not sure what to say.

So eventually he just says whatever pops out.]

Hi Cecelia
I'm glad you're okay and you again
Don't worry about gratitude I know you'd do the same for your friends if they needed it
:)

Are you sure, though?
Things just feel very unbalanced...just because I would THEORETICALLY do something in turn isn't really balancing the scales, is it?

[pullsheavendown]

[A pause.]

But it's not hypothetical, right?
You'd do it, right?

[adamantlyardent]

I would at least TRY...whether or not I'd succeed is a different matter entirely.

[pullsheavendown]

That settles it then
You'd come to try and rescue me if I needed it
So we're even

[adamantlyardent]

You've got a rather generous definition of "even" in this case...

this time with the CORRECT ROXAS JOURNAL

[pullsheavendown]

Okay well
If it's that important you can buy me a coffee next time we hang out

lookit all these roxases....roxases? roxasses? roxii? roXIII?

[adamantlyardent]

It's a start.

don't ask how many journals I have for him in total

[pullsheavendown]

Sure.
Hey do you remember being old?

[adamantlyardent]

No.
However, she left me notes.
Apparently she said some embarrassing things to people...

[pullsheavendown]

Eh, it probably wasn't actually embarrassing stuff.
You get embarrassed by regular stuff you say all the time right?
That probably doesn't change in the future.

[adamantlyardent]

[WOW THIS CALLOUT..................................................is too real.

give her a moment.]

I don't know whether to be complimented or offended.

[pullsheavendown]

Why does it have to be either?

[adamantlyardent]

What's the alternative? Indifference?

[pullsheavendown]

Yeah?
It's true.
But it's not a big deal.
It's just part of what makes you, you.

[adamantlyardent]

What a dreadful painting that paints...
In any case, I'll just take your word for it in regard to repayment. Don't forget it, either; it can't just be on me to be mindful of what is owed.

[pullsheavendown]

Okay sure I'll remember

[Nah]

Anyway just so you know
I'm glad you came back as the you I know
I would have missed you

[adamantlyardent]

[give her a minute.]

Thank you, Roxas.

[pullsheavendown]

Sure.
I'll see you around.
