Love Music? Learn an Instrument Today at VII Notes!
Hello everyone! My name is Elliot Craig, and I just wanted to advertise that I'm offering music lessons! Music is a wonderful form of expression that anyone can get into! It makes a great hobby, or it can be used to help channel magic for witches out there. And for you romantic types, it's a great way to impress a special someone in your life~

Currently I offer lessons with piano, violin, guitar, recorders (great for kids!), harmonicas and singing! Group or solo lessons are available, with discounts offered with group lessons. Special accommodations can be made for monsters! And as always, the first lesson is free!

Please contact me today if you're interested! Thank you!

[OOC: A sign up post with more information can be found here! Lessons will be handwaved for the most part]

Haha, you're very kind but it was bad.
I wasn't in a good place.

[He knows he was a mess okay.]

Sorry I worried you.
I should've checked in earlier.
I really do need to thank you for what you did.

[integrous]

you were the one having a rough time though
that means you shouldn't have had to be the one to reach out afterwards

[ Even though Asahi never reached out until now either since she kept thinking about it and then worrying he'd still feel too bad, or that she'd just reopen wounds that were starting to heal.. She may be fussy. Just a tad. ]

anyway that's not the point
i'm just glad you're in a better place now
and sorry that this place put you through having to deal with all that to begin with

[fiddlestick]

Well, you're reaching out now!
So don't worry about it, okay?

[He has a feeling she might be beating herself over it]

Thanks, though this place didn't have anything to do with it.
I was going to have to face that stuff at home sooner or later.
If anything, I'm glad I had a chance to process it here.

[integrous]

[ Elliot is pretty spot on with that assumption. ]

it could at least have waited to show you it at a more appropriate time..

[ Rather than right alongside all that other doom and gloom going on here. ]

but you're right
it's your feelings that matter the most, and if you're doing ok now then it's all alright
maybe we can hang out some other time under actual normal circumstances

[fiddlestick]

I suppose...but I find with my life, when it rains it pours. So I can't be too surprised by the timing.

[Because when things go wrong in Elliot's life - everything goes wrong at once]

I'd like that! I'm afraid I don't know much about you, so what sorts of things do you like to do?

[integrous]

[ That's such a depressing thing to say.. Even though Asahi - as cynical as she can be - can see where that kind of thought can come from. Some people just have really tough lives, although she doesn't think Elliot deserves one in the slightest. He's seemed plenty nice despite his circumstances so far, after all. ]

me??
i like hanging out in different cafes around the city a lot
especially to try out the kinds of sweets they have everywhere
some are pretty good

[fiddlestick]

[Look its sad but true. He's learning to live with it kinda]

Really? That sounds nice!
What's your favorite kind of sweet?

[integrous]

i like all of them!!
really i figure we can't be picky in a place like this
there's so many sucky things that we might as well enjoy all the good things that come on our path equally

okay i realise that sounds kind of weirdly deep when i'm just talking about sweets
BUT STILL!!
i mean it

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, I don't think that sound weird deep at all. If anything, it's a wonderful way to look at the stuff. I'm a little envious.

But in that case, I'll make you some sweets that I learned from my sister you can try. Assuming I can find all the ingredients.

[integrous]

wait...
you're going to make them for me? for real?
are you sure you want to do that?

[ Asahi has gotten a little bit more used to people openly offering these kinds of things in this place, but she's still been unused enough to it from the many years she's dealt with being a social outcast back home that it surprises her regardless. ]

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, I'm sure.

I know you don't blame me, but I still feel a little guilty for dumping all that on you.\
I can't help it, it's just how I am.
So I wanna give you something nice from my world.

[integrous]

[ Maybe it shouldn't surprise her anymore at this point that some people in this place just are like this. And yet.. ]

i guess i can't turn it down if you're saying you'd feel guilty otherwise
so thank you
you're too kind for your own good though you know

[fiddlestick]

Haha, yeah I've been told that before.

I promise I'll try not to be a doormat.

[integrous]

good!!!!
because i won't stand for it when people are mean to you!!!

[ She doesn't even know him all that well yet.. but look, she saw him so sad before, okay. It makes her protective side come out. ]

if they do, give me names and i'll go THROW DOWN

[fiddlestick]

[Wow, she is literally this gif]

Ahaha, thanks. I appreciate it. But you really don't have to do that!

There really aren't many people that are mean to me.

[integrous]

[ LITERALLY that gif. ]

i guess that's only natural
it'd be like kicking a puppy!

[ .. she means it as a compliment, really.. ]

but some people are just jerks to everyone around
so watch out for types like that

[fiddlestick]

Are you saying I'm a puppy...?

[This girl is reminding him of his sister...]

I know, I will.
I try not to hang around those types too much.

[integrous]

i mean....
you're kind of like one
you're cute, after all

[ SHAMELESSLY SAYING IT. ]
