[Mu appears amidst a pile of papers and books, a few of which lie open at his feet. Across his lap is spread a large-ish sheet of paper on which he is scribbling something, referencing both the open books and another, similarly sized sheet nearby. After awhile, he turns to the Aries cloth - ever at his side. He smiles and pulls the other sheet over his current one, then sighs.]

When I read that this year would be an interesting one, I don't think this is quite what either of us had in mind, hm?

[Gestures to his pile o' crap] I'm casting a chart for myself for the next year. Athena knows, this last one has been exciting enough.

[contract_star]

[Stares at it all for a moment.] That's right...it's been about a year, hasn't it?

[lamb_of_gold]

A year today, in fact.

[contract_star]

...Really?

[lamb_of_gold]

Yes. For myself, at least, and I do believe I was among the first.

[contract_star]

Wow. That makes it...about eleven months for me. [A bit blown away by this number.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Time does pass us by rather quickly.

[contract_star]

I suppose it does, doesn't it?

A whole year, huh? A lot's happened.

[lamb_of_gold]

I suppose it has. Though I cannot say I regret anything that has happened.

[contract_star]

There are a few things... But you're right. Mostly things have been...alright, I guess.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Scoots over so Hei can join him if he'd like. There's Tea~] Do tell.

[contract_star]

[Sits down.] There are just a few things I wish hadn't happened. [Ooh, tea!]

[lamb_of_gold]

I feel similarly, but I try to live without regrets.

[contract_star]

[Faint little smile.] It would have been nice not to die.

[lamb_of_gold]

Do you regret what you did to earn the ire of those who killed you?

[contract_star]

...I...I think I regret acting without thinking. Being so stupid about the whole thing. But... [He frowns.] ..I don't think I regret standing up to them. I've tried to convince myself I do, but...

[lamb_of_gold]

But?

[contract_star]

[He shakes his head.] I don't know. It's still a little hard to think about that.

[lamb_of_gold]

Fair enough. Forgive my prying.

[contract_star]

It's fine. I'm a hell of a lot better than I was.
