[ A day after their chat and cheeseburger adventure, a small box will arrive. Inside is Jumin's coat, freshly drycleaned, a note, and a small plush. ]
Dear Han: Thank you again for the kind gesture. I checked to make sure there was no water damage sustained on your coat, but these Blanc materials are quite robust. I have also enclosed a small memento. When I saw this, I found it to be not only quite cute, but also an interesting combination to represent both of our first meetings.
It feels strange to refer to such an event in plural, doesn't it? I won't claim to understand such a phenomenon, but I suppose it is what it is.
[ No one has ever given him a gift like this before... Not when they had just met, and certainly nothing of this nature. He's grateful for the coat—who wouldn't be?—but the plush toy is something else. She has nothing to gain from giving him this. Besides, it's very curious. He inspects the toy, turns it around, then over. There must be a secret to this item.
I mean, how is it making his heart pound!?
She's a very strange woman. He must look into this phenomenon further. ]
Dear Kirijo,
Did you catch a fever since then? If so, you should be resting. If not, then I'm glad. I'm not a very religious person, but I pray that you never get ill.
Thank you for the coat and the gift. I look forward to meeting you again.
Sincerely, Jumin Han
no deep shit here because he's already into reverse slavery
Yes, it's thirty minutes early. But Setsuna has a good reason for calling, other than checking on Jumin. ]
Jumin Han. Are you well-prepared? If there is anything you need, please let me know.
[ Supply-wise, he means... Going out before sunrise is not any better from going out at late evenings; but at the same time, moving early is equally advantageous. They can't miss any opportunity to move. They simply have to take precautions to be safe. ]
[ Ah, he misses when all his calls would go straight to voicemail. Not a lot of people get to listen to Jumin's voice so early in the morning, so maybe Setsuna should consider himself lucky. He sighs when he realizes he can't exactly put his Carrier on snooze, and struggles when he speaks for the first time today. ]
... Setsuna. My lack of funds make it difficult to do anything I'd like, but I managed. [ Aaaand he sees that his Carrier has eaten his food supplies. ] Barely.
I don't want to ask for any favors too big, but Catherine snacked on my food all night. [ he can't believe he's doing this, honestly. ] Do you have any to spare?
[ you've just got a letter! and... what is this... a bag of chips that is opened. but doesn't look like a lot of the chips are in fact missing. ( he only ate one okay, just to make sure they were good before sending them over. ) ]
Hello Jumin.
Haha sorry. Something about writing a letter like this… made me want to use a formal greeting. Did it startle you? To be honest… I’m a little scared to put this in Honey’s mouth T_T what if he chokes?
I really… can’t get used to being here. Isn’t this just a bit too surreal? I feel like I’m going to wake up at any moment… haha. I’m really not sure what I’m supposed to do. I took a caravan to Petrosian and… there were sick people all over. There was nothing that I could do for them ;; I think they had some kind of allergy but couldn’t afford the medicine that would help them.
I’m sure that Rika would have known what to do, don’t you think? She was always able to make people feel better.
I started to think that we could help… if we had the colle. But as it is, aren’t we both broke?? If the rest of the RFA were here, I’m sure that we could think of something.
Haha, this got a bit too long. For listening to my thoughts I’ve… got you a bag of chips! It’s not a lot but I hope you eat them and cheer up.
[ Yoosung... How he feels is no surprise to Jumin.
And Jumin doesn't eat chips, but. ]
Yoosung,
Thank you for the sentiment.
I won't deny how difficult living here has been for me, but I would rather not complain about a matter that can easily be fixed. If we lack colle, then we make colle. If we lack strength, then we find strength.
There are many things we do not know about this world. Our knowledge and capabilities may not be enough for us to do anything, but that is precisely why we must learn as much as we can. You already know what you are supposed to do. You only need to act on it.
A new world means new beginnings. In Blanc, no longer are we bound by the limitations of society. Although "Hero" may be an arbitrary title, I hope you take it to heart. Rika saved many people when she was with us. As a member of an RFA, we must strive to continue her work to the best of our abilities. We may no longer be in a world we know, but this remains my goal.
Thus, I have also been assisting the government in their investigation on the recent disappearances. In my search for clues, I have found enough reason to believe that the allergy is not a medical condition, but a magical affliction—a curse. I don't know the cure yet, so avoid touching any infected or going to Merilorn Forest in the meantime.
Should you need anything at all, don't hesitate to rely on me. I may not have the money to protect you, but I know for a fact that no one can live without the support of others.
Jumin
[ He sends this along with a small jar of peanut better. A note is attached: According to my research, dogs like this. Catherine is fond of it as well. No need for thanks. ]
[ It's suppose to be Halloween today, but there's a lack of Halloween things in Enprise. Instead, Jumin will receive... baby shower favors instead. Ignoring the label, the contents inside are still candy, so the spirit of Halloween is still saved. ]
I was told to apologize to you for the bite, so... here you go.
[ He's not sure if he's being made fun of, but he'll reply like this for fun: ]
I wasn't aware that you were pregnant with my child. This is all very sudden, but I'll gladly take responsibility.
In any case, you saved me. There is nothing to apologize for, but thank you for the sentiment and the candy. In return, I looked for something else you could sink your teeth into.
This probably isn't necessary, but I wanted to thank you for the mana. I know I told you before that I can't forget, and that's true. I also told you that I'm a robot. That's partly true. That's why mana works differently for me.
You may not believe it, and that's fine. I hope we'll still be able to have that weekly mana exchange we talked about.
[ Sakura kind of lives on the same floor a Jumin, so... He would have given Jumin a puppy since Jaggers look similar, but carriers take up a lot of resources already. A kitten is a lot more low-maintenance in comparison. There's only a rolled up note tucked under its collar:
6th of Chrysanth
Jumin,
I wanted to reward you for your bravery and support during our time in Merilorn Forest. This may not be an obedient grand beast, but I hope it keeps you company alongside your carrier.
[ Not long after Jumin finds the kitten, Takumi gets a call. ]
Takumi, I received your gift. I want to personally thank you from the bottom of my heart. [ Then, as if he couldn't help but blurt it out: ] I love cats.
[ a small blue box arrives, and tied around it is a white lacy ribbon! how... fancy. inside are a six cat shaped maracons, all vanilla flavoured. leo is too poor for this fancy bakery, but he feels entirely grateful to jumin for his kindness so he wants to do what he can to comfort the guy.
attached to the ribbon is a card that reads:
For the sick. You don't have to eat it if you're not sick anymore, though. - Leo ]
[ They're so fancy and cute... Needless to say, Jumin is enamored by the macarons. Leo knows his taste! He immediately receives a note in letters larger than usual. ]
I will eat it when I want to. Thank you. - Jumin
[ YOU CAN'T TELL HIM WHAT TO DO. He's still sick, anyway. ]
Hello, Jumin. It's been quite some time and I hope you, Catherine, and Napoleon are doing well.
[ Takumi doesn't exactly have too many feelings for animals, but he remembers the pegasi and kinshis that his comrades and friends are pretty fond of. Not that he's attached or anything!
Haha for some reason... I just felt like chanting your name. Could this be the Christmas spirit? Can you believe it, it's Christmas? To think... that we're spending Christmas here. To be honest, it makes me feel kind of complicated. I suddenly miss home so much I can hardly stand it ;;
But this isn't the time for those kind of thoughts, right? We should be doing our best to celebrate. That's why... I got you a gift!
[ and in a... haphazardly wrapped box are four potions. ]
I hope that you like them, I got them from a vendor who said that they have the highest potency around. He gave me a card saying what they all do but it must have fell out of my bag on the way back to my room. But... I doubt he would have sold them to me if they were too dangerous!
You are too trusting of people, but thank you for the present.
To be frank, I do not particularly care about this holiday. A day spent here is like any other day to me. However, I do share your sentiments. As they say, there is no place like home. But rather than sulk, we can only do our best to end this war, and pray that the gods return us to our world as soon as possible.
I suppose some celebration is in order, too. You must have been promoted by now.
Congratulations.
I have a present for you; it will be delivered shortly. May it protect you in your travels. Perhaps it will help you in our training sessions as well.
[ Because he's making them a thing now. ]
Merry Christmas, Jumin Han
[ At Yoosung's room, a courier will give him the sweetest set of armor he has ever seen. You're welcome. ]
It looks like great minds really do think alike. It's not quite something with 'eyes a deep blue like the vast ocean and fur as white as the winter snow,' but I did my best.
[In the package he receives is another fountain pen. Hers is a little more understated, except for the tiny jeweled eyes of the cap's ornament.]
