... Recently... Kong... completed his mirror and went back home. ... And Shoelace... I saw him in the mirrors the other day. Another one of his teammates too, I think.

...

And lately, I've been thinking... someday... maybe... all of his team, as it is right now, might be gone. Either home, or in the mirrors.

...

Yukine... doesn't have too many people he's close to back home. It's basically just Yato and me. He thinks of his team here as family, so... he's hurting a lot right now. So I wanted to give him something nice. Something... that he could always hold onto, of them. Like a picture, maybe.

[he's quiet as he listens, considering her request, finally nodding]

I can give a quest for that without going against my principles. Give me a minute to think of appropriate terms.

[meanwhile, one of the kitties he's trying to brush will escape and run over to roc]

[kitten mews because yes, it is a spoiled baby, thank you for noticing]

....all right. Tell five people in Kyriakos that you care about why they matter to you, in a heartfelt and demonstrative manner. No teammates, because that's too easy.

In exchange, I can give you a large portrait of Yukine with every Alectryon member he's known, plus his team patron. Frame included.

[ she's totally distracted from the spoiled baby once jag sets his terms ]

Wh--Really? Even the ones I've never met?

[ because there's bound to have been some, and--well--she figured that if she hadn't met them, then she couldn't ask for that. BUT!!? ]

It's a loophole worth attempting to exploit, right?

Yes! Yes, absolutely yes!

[ she's practically ready to rocket into the ceiling in excitement ]

So--that's five people, not on my team, but--anyone else, right?

[he figures the magic responsible for the questing process will be able to fill in the blanks, since what's asked for doesn't violate the rules of being 1) small and 2) mundane

and if it can't, at least they tried]

Yes. You can include Echoes if you'd like, but please try to have the majority be fellow amnesiacs.

[ rood jag, echoes are amnesiacs too!! ]

Alright! Then... I want to start with you!

[ GRABBING UR HANDS
hope you saw this one coming Jag ]

[he actually didn't because he's stupid]

....What?

[why are you grabbing my gross scarred/burned hands]

[ your hands may be burnt and scarred and but they are not gross ]

I said, I'm starting with you, and why I care about you. You've been a very good friend to me, Jaguar. Even though you have so many worries of your own to think about, you keep encouraging me to do my best and helping me. You gave me an outlet that lets me feel like I'm able to help people, and... I feel like I've been able to be a better, more helpful person because of it. So thank you.

[you just have advanced garbage tolerance thanks to yato]

I, well....that is....ah, geez.

[HOW DO PROCESS COMPLIMENTS]

Thank you, Magenta Roc. That means a great deal to me.

[ scars don't make you garbage, they make you strong!!

but this is also true ]

You didn't think I was going to say anything to you, did you?

No, I didn't. The thought hadn't even occurred to me.

[It's not said in a self-pitying or bitter way, just....that's how it is, that's what falls outside the realm of his expectations.]

I bet a lot of people would, though, if they had a chance.

[LOL]

Mm....that's up to them.

Well... maybe you should give it to them, then.

[ Instead of hiding away in your dorm room ]

I haven't seen you around much lately. Is everything alright?

People know where to find me.

[huffs just the tiniest bit]

....nothing's different. [so the same shit] I've just needed time to myself.

[ well then now the question becomes ]

Jaguar.... you're not still drinking so much, are you?

[ #boozekitties and friends ]

[he'd get offended by that but he has no right to, in all honesty]

No, I'm not.
