[Yes, it isn't supposed to be winter yet.

This is how Netsach will show that they no longer give a shit.]

[Breton's laughing of course, as he's giving you what you want - and eating what you didn't take for himself. Bladian appetite, mm-hm.

In the meantime, from Saxon:]

Here's the coffee~~~

[bostova]

Thank you!

[ Fucking appetite, really. The first time she discovered how much she could eat after being a Bladian, she felt a little disgusted at herself. She has never eaten so much before. At least, if Taning was around with her when she was eating, she didn't feel too bad.

And, well, Saxon and Breton, too. She can be as disgusting as she'd like and they don't judge.

And for the record? She's enjoying breakfast with the Brands more than breakfast with the Hounds. ]

...Is it always like this, here?

[thebrandybunch]

Pretty much! Sometimes shit explodes.

[Saxon does not seem bothered by this.]

And sometimes, there are food fights. When the older guys like us aren't around.

[That is Breton.]

[bostova]

...

[ Yeah... yeah, they wouldn't be bothered by that. Yulia is only slightly taken aback because--

Oh, well, it makes sense that nothing (too) horrible happens when the Adults^TM are around. Thanks for the clarification, Breton. ]

How lively. [ She really has nothing else to say about that, so she'll... finish her food. And her coffee. ]

[thebrandybunch]

[They're okay with this because less talking means more eating!!!

When everyone's done, though, they're dragging you off to the balcony for smokes and talk.]

So!

[You had something for them? :D]

[bostova]

[ Ah, right. She had a reason for coming out here. ]

So, I have something for you. [ She'll keep her cigarettes between her lips while she fishes for the two dervish bracelets in her pockets so she could hand it to them. And they had better fucking like it. ]

[thebrandybunch]

[Oh, they love it. You'll see it in the way they look at the bracelets, then look back at you, and then both take turns to hug you tight.]

Thanks. That's really sweet of you.

[Saying that together. But then, from Breton:]

We have something for you too!

[And here is Saxon, pulling out a carefully wrapped box.]

[bostova]

Oh-- Thank you.

[ She's definitely surprised. And curious. But mostly surprised; she already isn't used to giving gifts, she's also not very used to receiving them.

She gives them a big grin, though, and a kiss on the cheek each before taking the box, which she will carefully, very carefully unwrap. ]

[thebrandybunch]

[There are several Japanese combs and hairpins in there, and they look like they were handmade from dervish parts. They're also rather pretty.

Yes, the boys look Very Proud of themselves.]

Do you like it, do you like it?

[bostova]

[ Give her a moment, she's too busy admiring the pretty combs. And also wondering how the hell to wear them-- she's never worn them! Or, well, she's never worn them on her own. The last time she had anything remotely close to these pins and combs was months ago at Seigi, and Hikaru was the one who--!

She needs to learn how to put these on. ]

I love them, they're beautiful. [ She looks up at Saxon and Breton with the biggest smile she could muster-- and she really, really does love them. ] Thank you.

[thebrandybunch]

Thank you too, sister!

[They're both grinning as they're putting those bracelets on. Hee, they rarely get stuff like this, so...

Right. From Saxon:]

So, whatcha wanna do today?

[bostova]

[ She puts the comb she was holding (and admiring) back in the box, closes it, and hugs the box close.

And to answer, Yulia shrugs. ]

I don't really have plans for today. I've already seen everything at the Festival, and nothing really interests me. [ Not anymore, at least.

She rubs the back of her neck, and... remembers the chain she's wearing, and the key that hangs on it. She smiles and pulls it out. ]

I have this, though.

[thebrandybunch]

[Oho.]

We should go. Saxon and I aren't doing anything.

[Breton, of course, with a smile.]

[bostova]

You did promise! [ She might have been a little drunk, that time, but she remembers them saying they would drop anything they were doing and go with her, when she wanted.

But look, she's so delighted. ]

[thebrandybunch]

And we tend to keep those, yeah?

[Breton.]

YAY ROAD TRIP!

[Saxon, although it won't... really be much of a road trip with access points but w e l p.]

If you give us an hour or so, we can pack some stuff.

[And Breton again.]

[bostova]

Alright. I should- I should probably pack a few things myself. [ She's wondering, though, how long they could stay. Probably not too long, but... it would be nice if they could stay there a while. Still, just being able to go with them would be nice. ]

[thebrandybunch]

We can meet up with you at the gate. We'll be the ones to get clearance for the trip!

[Breton is sure it'll be easy. 108 and 173 are all about letting their family members do fun things when there's no work to be done.]
