rustyhonesty | [Empatheias] IC Inbox

Mikasa sleeps forever after their arrival. How long exactly doesn't really matter but at least she doesn't really sleep for a week like she may have said right before passing the hell out. But that's norm-- ...Okay honestly, it's not normal even though it's not new for her to sleep a lot when she can. It may be one of her longest times sleeping ever but these happen sometimes after their long fights and she's here from right after one the worst battlefields of her entire life. ...So technically Jean is used to it, at least it's nothing to worry about when she keeps on sleeping as much as possible.

When Mikasa finally gets enough of sleeping, it's unsurprisingly from a nightmare with a jolt that makes her sit up before she's even really awake.

"E R E N!!!" That's the least surprising part. She looks around, taking a moment to wake up enough into the reality of not being back in the world of Titan Hell. Right. Empatheias, their new home that is a huge farmhouse and her head drops towards her knees with a sigh at the knowledge that she and Jean are the only people from there in this world. More people from there would absolutely deserve to be here.

Mikasa walks out of her new room and around the house. She's not a morning person, she'd gladly stay under the blankets for a long time even when this girl usually keeps running as part of her work out even in the morning... But she didn't want to say there for any longer now. She doesn't look into any mirrors or whatever, she knows what she looks like after so much sleep... But Mikasa's hair being an uncontrollabe, shaggy mess, her skin being pale and her face looking like she's still half-asleep make her kind of look like a zombie or something.

So, good morning, Jean as soon as she arrives to the kitchen to find him. He looks like he's about to start making food, she wonders if the sound of her waking up has anything to do with his timing for it...

"Mind if I take a shower or can I help with that?"

Mikasa wakes up on the other side of the bed to this new month and ... It's cold being there alone as if she's really far away from Jean. Why is she so far away from him anyway? Not like she can't easily fix that which is exactly what she is going to do!

The girl rolls over to Jean and instead of just hugging him, she's also cuddling even closer and nuzzling his chin. If he can feel the lightest touch of her lips there too that must be just his imagination, right? Her eyes are closed again either way, she's not ready to wake up yet but she sure is feeling like cuddling for a while.

[ It's about 3-4 days after the trip to Ephyria, which still feels a lot more than it was advertised to be. But a hum comes through Jean's amulet, and a voice who should sound familiar by now. ]

Hey, Jean? How're you doing?

[ There's a slight uneasy energy in the far back of the call...but compared to most Tidus has made, this one is more comfortable than the rest—has a purpose that's more important than how creepy mind communication is. ]

[So this... Christmas thing. No one here would possibly guess that Jean and Mikasa had no idea what it is before hearing about it here if they looked at all the lights and decorations and everything around and inside their house. They may have gone a bit crazy with them... They even got a tree.

But instead of putting gifts under the tree, she is sitting with him on the couch and offering him a gift wrapped in red paper. It feels soft, so that may say something about what he'll find inside. ...unless Jean is too distracted by things like Mikasa smiling at him.]

This is for you.

[ A messenger bird with a small drawstring bag arrives to Jean, inside a note and also -- biscuits! Specifically, circular gingerbread, florentines and white chocolate and cranberry cookies, about ten of each. Wowie. Somebody definitely did not go over the top in the kitchen or anything for a day.

The note sits at the top. ]

Hope you're not allergic to anything in these. Just ask if you're worried.
