Do you mind sushi? There's a really good place here that we can go to.

[lovesopendoors]

What's sushi?

[rustyhonesty]

It's... usually raw fish on rice.

[A beat.]

I promise it's better than it sounds.

[lovesopendoors]

. . . I trust you but I'm glad you said that second thing before I said anything to that first thing. Let's go eat sushi tomorrow, I'll gladly try it!

[rustyhonesty]

I can guess what you might have said.

[It's not like his first impressions of sushi were ... good.]

I'll text you the address so we can meet there.

[lovesopendoors]

I don't even know what I was about to say but I'm sure my expression said it much better than me.

[Considering she didn't even say anything at all.]

Sure!👍

-> action

[rustyhonesty]

I'll see you there, then.

[The next day, Jean's waiting in front of the sushi restaurant in more casual clothes. He had been working, but it was more paperwork than forge things so he could be more relaxed.]

[He has a guess why Caster was sending him a gift. He appreciates the sentiment... but also cringed at the extremely fluffy ear-muffs.]

Feeling bad for what happened on the trip?

You didn't do anything wrong.

[lovesopendoors]

Yes you will~!

[Anna is also in casual clothes, even wearing pants instead of a skirt or a dress. And she instantly runs to surprise the young man with a friendly, tight hug!!]

Hi, Jean!!

[Look, she didn't forget to start with that this time.]

a little

however amusing it was watching you squirm i have little desire to make enemies or to lose what allies i do have here

[“You didn’t do anything wrong.”

That was… rare, for people to say such a thing to her. Usually when blame was to be handed out, they were quick to point at her.

She wasn’t sure she read his message correctly- reading it over a couple of times more to make sure he’d said what she thought. Yes, he truly…wasn’t blaming her?]

[rustyhonesty]

You didn't make me into an enemy. I asked and you delivered.

I consider us allies, still.

[rustyhonesty]

[It's not the first time Anna hugs him but it always takes him a little by surprise. He laughs.]

Hey Anna. Good to see you.

[lovesopendoors]

[She laughs, stepping away from the hug after a bit.]

It's really great to see you too! We should see even more often, you know how to ride a horse, right? We could go riding together every now and then.

[ Random ideas and yes, that would mean even more hugs from her. ]

[rustyhonesty]

[Can Jean handle more Disney princess hugs? That remains to be seen-]

I even have my own horse and I go for rides whenever I can. So I'd definitely be up for that.

[lovesopendoors]

[Of course he can handle them, who couldn't handle them?!]

Great, I have my own horse back in Arendelle and maybe I should get one here too, but we can go anytime! Let's talk about the timing for that later, but for now....

[Grabbing his arm.]

Let's find out what I think about sushi!

[aaaaaaaaaaand walking them towards the door, it's already open, so walking in there with him!]

Hey there, Jean.

I wanted to ask you something. I'll be taking some photos of friends from home to practice my photography, and I was hoping you'd participate.

Are you interested?

[rustyhonesty]

Uh, sure? Why not.

Sounds like fun.

[rustyhonesty]

I can definitely introduce you to some stables that have horses you can claim.

[He's worked at one, but it's connected to a few other stables.

Jean's amused at Anna taking his arm. It's not everyday you get to escort a princess.

It's a buffet day, so they can pick and choose their own sushi. Jean makes some recommendations for Anna, but also takes some new ones to test out. Today there are even 'dessert' sushi.]

[rollcharisma]

Great! :) I figure I can take some of you and Mikasa together as well, and she mentioned having some of the pets, so we'll do that too. Okay?

[rustyhonesty]

Yeah, that sounds good to me.

Maybe I can rope in Marco for a friend photo. It'd be nice to have one.

[rollcharisma]

Oh, I'm sure he'd say yes. I'm actually thinking of taking a few different sets of group or pairing photos, so we're already on the same page there.

[rustyhonesty]

As long as we make sure you're in the photos too and not just behind the camera. Otherwise it's not very fair.

Dear Jean,

Is this normal or is this something I should be concerned about?

- Marco

[ Attached: porco????.jpg

It's a somewhat blurry picture Marco has taken from where he sits on one end of the couch, slacks and socked feet in view. Porco is on the other side, and Marco has wormed his feet into Porco's lap. Notably, Porco is shouting at the television - the particularly controversial episode of Annika where she announced her engagement is on screen. Porco's hair is bright yellow, flames having taken the place of the longer half of his hair. The undercut looks like it's burning embers. ]

[rustyhonesty]

[He's not going to ask about the position they're in. That's not really his business. There are far more concerning matters.]

Firstly, stop texting like you're writing a letter. That's what old men do.

But no, I don't think that's normal. I mean, I breathe fire when I'm angry, but I've never set my hair on fire.

[sunspotted]

Jean -

But how will you know who's texting you if you don't? I always forget to look at the names. :(

It doesn't seem to hurt him, though. And it hasn't set the couch on fire, so I'm not sure it spreads like normal fire?
