...you don't have anything to apologize for, Otome. I don't think Ichiro will blame you, either.

[momming]

Still, I'll make sure this is addressed.

... Now, about Sieghart...

[ambiography]

-what about Sieghart?

[OTOME,,]

[momming]

As your self-proclaimed beloved friend who suggested a certain individual call you by your name, I am very interested in what transpired today.

[ambiography]

Ah-- you were watching, weren't you. I suppose that was-- a little more forward than I really intended to be.

[momming]

Oh no, I'm all for it! It was a beautiful display of intent.

[ HONESTLY PROUD OF HER. ]

[ambiography]

We're still going to have a few things to talk about, Otome, we've only seen each other once in the last several weeks.

[but he did, technically, do it first.]

[momming]

... [ wryly ]

Does this have to do with the licking?

[ambiography]

-oh, god, did he really say so?

[but she sounds amused, not horrified.]

I never thought he'd breathe a word of that.

[momming]

He, ah. Wasn't in his right mind at the time. Under the influence, you could say.

[ SHE'S VERY TIRED. ]

[ambiography]

Otome, what happened?

[spill, what was going on over there.]

[momming]

Leo baked brownies. By the time I realized they weren't as innocent as they seemed, it was too late for... quite a few people, so all I could really do was help them through the aftermath.

[ambiography]

-oh, is that where she got them from--

[THEIR STONED ASS NPC. my god.]

...just how badly off was he?

[momming]

... This didn't come from me, and therefore you know nothing.

But he more or less laughed himself into exhaustion. The puppy licking your face during one of the meetings seemed to really set him off.

[ambiography]

[...ohhhh, no. she tries her best to stifle a laugh, but it slips right out anyway, a hand over her mouth.]

I wish I could have seen that.

[momming]

I wish you could have, too. I could have used the help.

[ SO MANY HIGH DEAD PEOPLE, LUCRETIA. ]

[ambiography]

Well, if anyone had sent me to join you, of course I would have. As it stands... thank you for helping them, Otome.

[momming]

... Well, thank you for not actually dying. We would have been rather upset.

[ And she's so glad to be back, honestly. ]

[ambiography]

I'm sure several people on this side would, as well.

...I've missed having you here, Otome.

[momming]

... I've missed being here with you. I didn't really get a chance to talk to you properly, before everything happened.

[ But you really are one of my dearest friends. That's never changed. ]

[ambiography]

I think we all had quite a bit going on, but-- we have more time, now.

[It was easier, with you here.]

[momming]

[ She smiles, warmly. ]

Enough time for me to see this painting of yours?

[ambiography]

Of course.

[she smiles, there-- i'm going to just assume she fetched it from the memorial, when everyone returned.]

Come back to my room with me, I'll show you.

[momming]

Yes!

[ With a little fistpump.

LEAD THE WAY, LUCY. ]

[ambiography]

[oh the fistpump is CUTE. she smiles, at that, leading otome back to spring dorm and to her room.

it's important to know that lucretia has a jar on her desk that contains, uh, a wood arm. wood as in made of vines, not like a mannequin arm. it's smaller than human sized.

BUT she also has the painting! she fetches it from where she left it; just like otome said, it's a painting of a beautiful blue sky.]
