[Backdated to this afternoon, because Akai is slow.]

Hey, Brave Vesperia! I got us a job, if anybody wants to help out. Atsuki's asked if we can build a hang-out spot in the southern half of the village, so people don't have to walk all the way to the plaza just to have some fun. I wanna get started with scouting out the area, but I want to know if anybody's interested in helping out.

Same goes for anyone not in the guild- if you're bored and looking for some hard labour to keep you busy, I won't say no to the help!

[Zack is wandering through the village, doing just what he said- scouting out a spot that would work for the new building. What's most noticeable is that a) he's wearing a brilliant pink shirt and b) he's got a pink bow tied in his hair. Yes, it seems that he took Aerith up on her bet to wear pink like the manly man he is. He's got his journal ready to respond to whatever.]

...I don't even know what to say to that.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Then I suggest you drink.

[wingenvy]

[SIIIIIIIGH. Sip.]

[SIIIIIGH. Sip.]

So what about you, then?

[wingenvy]

What about me?

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Well, we've already established that you're a hypocrite and you just gave me loads of advice. My guess is that you speak from theoretical experience.

[wingenvy]

...Heh. Let's just say I was trying to save you from getting a lecture from your disgruntled and frustrated lover.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Too late for that.

[wingenvy]

And you haven't learned your lesson? Man, you're a glutton for punishment!

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Excuse me, but it's healthy for couples to fight.

[wingenvy]

Aerith and I never fight.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Oh sure you do. You just don't know that you are.

[wingenvy]

How does that work?

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Either she'll say something that'll subtly bother you, or you'll say something that'll bother her, but neither of you say anything about it because you don't want to fight.

And fights don't always have to be disagreements. Uncomfortable conversations count as fights. Anything that makes you force yourself to understand another human being through the act of discussion.

[wingenvy]

I can't agree with that. Being uncomfortable is just being uncomfortable- it's not the same as fighting.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

You're a very comfortable man.

[wingenvy]

Nothing wrong with that.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

I didn't say there was. [Defensive?]

[wingenvy]

[Not really, it's casual.] Maybe I'll ask Aerith what she thinks.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

And maybe you won't. But that doesn't really matter anyway.

[wingenvy]

You sound pretty sure about that.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

What, that it doesn't matter?

[wingenvy]

Yeah.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

Because it doesn't matter.

Your business with Aerith is your business with Aerith.

[wingenvy]

And Cloud. I can't exclude him now.
