Out with the old....

Who: Everyone
What: New Year's.
When: Dec. 31st, New Year's Eve, to Jan 1st, New Year's Day.
Where: Everywhere
Summary: It's New Year's, and the people of Luceti have a lot to reflect upon, and to look forward to. And on a more meta level, new journal names.
Rating: We'll see...

New Year's brings images of crowds, and songs, and fireworks; staying up til midnight and watching balls or bells being rung. But Luceti is a different time and place. Whether you're partying with friends or watching the sunrise, what are you doing today?

"Yes, we've been friends for a long time," she replies immediately with a bright smile....

...But then it wavers slightly. Lately, Giles has--but no, she shouldn't worry Ginia with that. She's very busy tonight, and Grune doesn't want to make her feel sad.
shadedsunlight: (You aren't so bad)

The smile doesn't go unnoticed. Ginia still doesn't know what's going on, but she's seen how strangely Giles has been catcing toward Helios and Grune. Even the mere suggestion they all do something together is enough to cause him to panic and find excuses to back out. It's been difficult and trying, and she's at a loss to what to do beyond be there for everyone.

"And I'm sure you two will continue to be friends for a long time."
lostinmyway: (Almost wistful.)

"Yes," Grune says quietly. "That's right."

Her tone is patient and steady. She speaks with the voice of a woman who is ready to endure for as long as necessary, even if that might be forever. She will wait as long as it takes for the sake of her deeply treasured friend.

"I know we will."
shadedsunlight: (Somewhere only we know)

Grune is an oak tree with the appearance of a willow. There is no one else Ginia knows that is so lovingly firm in what and who she believes in. She would wait forever for Giles to come around, though Ginia hopes it won't take that long. Not out of some maligned or confused emotion, but because Grune loves her friends and nothing will ever change that.

"Yes. We all know that. It'll all be okay." She believes her words. One day, this will all be the past and they'll all carry on. Still, Ginia steps in and gives her beloved friend a tight hug.
lostinmyway: (Almost wistful.)

Despite her resolve, Grune rests in Ginia's hold a little more than she would ordinarily. It takes her a little longer to pull away, as well, but eventually, she does.

"I hope he feels better soon."

Ginia lets Grune hold on for as long as she wishes, only moving back when she does.

"I do too. It, uh, doesn't seem right going into a new year... well." She smiles weakly and gives a light shrug.

"He's here if you wanted to say hi."

"Do you think I should?" she asks. "Jay said that maybe I should leave him alone for a little while until he's feeling better. Do you think he is?"

If anyone would know, it would be Ginia.
shadedsunlight: (She's lucid and departed)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2012-01-10 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Ginia mulls over that for a little, looking around to see if she can find Giles in the outskirts of the crowd.

"Feeling better?" A small sigh. "I'm not sure. He seemed very anxious when I asked him if he was going to perform."
lostinmyway: (Almost wistful.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-01-11 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Did he?" Was he going to tell one of his stories?

She sighs quietly. "Then maybe I shouldn't talk to him right now."
shadedsunlight: (You know I knew we were in trouble)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2012-01-11 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Ginia sighs as well and gives Grune's hand an apologetic squeeze.

"I'm sorry. If I see him again, should I let him know you're here?"
lostinmyway: (Almost wistful.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-01-11 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
She squeezes her hand back, grateful for the comfort.

"Yes, that would be a good idea. Then he can come see me if he wants to." She smiles. It's tired around the edges. "Thank you, Ginia."
shadedsunlight: (We'll all float on all right)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2012-01-12 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
"I'll do that, I promise. You're welcome, Grune." She puts on a smile, trying her best to remain cheerful for the sake of her friend. "I really hope he comes around soon."
lostinmyway: (And still the sun shines.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-01-12 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
And she does her best to be cheerful right back, so Ginia doesn't worry. "Oh, I'm sure he will. He probably needs just a little more time to himself."

And then, after that, they can go back to being like family again.
shadedsunlight: (Here's to a new day)

"Time we have no shortage of here," she murmurs quietly, a little more to herself as she catches a glimpse of Giles in the crowd. But then he's gone again, ducking away for some reason or another. Yes, there's no shortage of time, but patience? Another matter.

"Well. Why don't we get some food? Sanji and his staff did such a wonderful job cooking and baking."
lostinmyway: (Calm.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-01-13 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
She doesn't see Giles in the crowd, and so her smile is a little firmer than before. "Oh, that would be very nice. I'm sure everyone worked very hard on making a nice meal for us."
shadedsunlight: (Everything will be all right)

[personal profile] shadedsunlight 2012-01-14 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Ginia will take Grune's hand and hold onto it. For support, for friendship, for not losing her in the crowd. "Then let's go eat."
lostinmyway: (And still the sun shines.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-01-14 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Grune threads her fingers through Ginia's. The contact is enough to draw a true smile from her. "Charge!"

She might not be putting her fist in the air with her usual energy, but she's certainly still giving it a good go.
