[the names listed here appear on the journal.]

All subjects are required to arrive at the tunnels at 8AM on the 27th of March for deployment. All listed individuals are required to be present. Subjects will then be escorted to TERRACE for battle preparation and further details.

Target will be Region One, a former Malnosso stronghold, presently in cultist hands. Subjects are advised to prepare for combat in forested areas. Further information will be made available at TERRACE. Questions and answers will not be provided at this time.

[Oh hell, that is getting uh... a little too close to home. Or to Luceti at least. He shrugs one shoulder.]

It didn't work out. I don't think he felt the same.

[Action]

[faithfulflame]

Oh.

[She...can relate to that, in Luceti actually.]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[Action]

[abjurer]

[He gives a small smile, a little wistful.]

It's alright. We're still friends. He's a good guy.

[Action]

[faithfulflame]

Well, that's important.

[Rei's face, though, remains somewhat nervous.]

But perhaps if...he's like you...he'll grow to like you one day?

[Action]

[abjurer]

[It's difficult not to hope for that, even if it seems terribly unlikely.]

Maybe. Would be nice but... it's his choice. Can't force him. And I don't want to lose a friend.

[Action]

[faithfulflame]

Well then take this too.

[Rei takes out a second charm, passing it over]

Luck with love, Max-san.

[abjurer]

[He sputters a little, going red when she hands it over, and he still closes his hand over.]

I... seriously, it isn't a big deal. I'm not... not looking or anything and...

[He sighs and shakes his head.]

Thanks, Rei.

[faithfulflame]

[Nodding, Rei slid over and wrapped a single arm around him in a quick hug that she broke just as quickly]

Don't mention it.

[Action]

[abjurer]

[The hug is there and gone before he can hug back, but he appreciates the gesture all the same and gives her a warm smile.]

If you ever want to... to talk and stuff, Rei, you're welcome to find me.

[She hugs him again, this time lingering. And she admits, it's nice to be able to say things to someone who isn't Ami.]

I...might do that. This is still new to me.

[abjurer]

[After a moment he hugs her back, something loose and careful.]

Anytime. It's not always an easy thing to come to terms with.
