047: God, Give Us Love In the Time That We Have

[contract_star]

[Here they are again in the kitchen, only this time there's quite a lot more food. Hei is cooking up a storm, and there's a wide variety already set out onto the counters. Most of them are hors d'oeuvres of various kinds, as well as dinners that are a mix of Chinese and Japanese. All of it, frankly, looks like something you'd see catered at a wedding. Misaki, meanwhile, is at the table, sorting through all manner of papers.]

[Hei looks up from making little strawberry tarts to Misaki.] We're pretty much on schedule. I'll be able to pick up the cake in about an hour.

Good. [She pulls out something that looks like a guest list.] I can't remember who here still doesn't know.

I think most of them do. In any case, we have a few more hours to spread the word.

A few more hours. [She lays her head on the table] What made us think this was a good idea, again?

[He laughs.] Well, most of them don't even seem to remember the first time. This way we know they'll be able to attend.


[ooc: Blue=Misaki, Red=Hei. Also, Boogie's tags will be slow for awhile.]

Did Hei ever think that he would have his own family?

[contract_star]

Never. Not in a million years.

[madamemoiselle]

...Really?

[contract_star]

Frankly, I sort of always thought I would be dead by now.

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, now that's just depressing!

[contract_star]

It is, isn't it? [Smiles.] A lot's changed.

[madamemoiselle]

I'm happy for you, you know.

[contract_star]

[Beams.] Thank you. So am I.
