Who: Nemesis, Hurricane, you!
Where: ?Somewhere?
When: Day 496

[ The sound of an engine roars through the city, unfamiliar to any of you. What is that—? That thing, flying in the sky—Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Or—

Is it a giant mech adorned with naginatas and a shield, flying through Tokyo-F at great speed? Is it Hurricane and Nemesis, coming to say their goodbyes? Or is it the sound of their departure. . . ? ]

[Catches at his hand to give it a little squeeze, then heads to his room]

[He's back a minute later with something wrapped in cloth]

Sorry, dude. It in't even wrapped right or nothing.

It is the gift itself, not the presentation that matters.

[ And he will carefully unwrap the cloth to see what is inside ]

[Inside, there's a -- well, it's meant to be a tea set. There's the wooden tea pot, carefully crafted to house a glass interior that can handle water at the proper heat for steeping; the wooden tray; and exactly two and a half cups. Judging by the space alloted, there was meant to be a full set, but the third is still a work in progress, the curve of a cup beginning to take shape in the block of wood, and three empty spots for what were meant to be additional cups]

[ Hurricane... ]

You were carving this for me?

[crossmyheartandhope]

That was the plan.

[leaveofabsence]

I will treasure it for the rest of my days.

Thank you, Hurricane. This means the world to me.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, well -- you've meant the world to me.

So.
