It All Started with this Letter I Received from my Dad...

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

(Yoshika plans on joining everyone else at the party later, but for now...she's resting comfortably. Where, you ask? She was able to make it back to her room under her own power after enduring a mission that brought about the fall of the Neuroi once and for all, which also ensured Britannia's safety. One day, she really did want to go there, see everything Britannia had to offer and be grateful the nation itself had survived.

That's where she's at, curled up on her bed with the door open just a bit. She's also a little worried, too. The Fuso native did rebel against her previous orders prior to the unexpected mission, which meant that she was privy to sentencing under Britannian law, as General Maloney stated. Wake her up? She'll be rested enough to talk for a while, but she might have a concerned look on her face if you're Sakamoto or Shirley. Will she be sent home? Forced house arrest for longer than 10 days? She didn't mean to disobey, but...!)

[Not seeing Yoshika at the party, Shirley arrived at her room before knocking on the door.]

Yoshika, you in here?

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

Ehhh? (Yoshika woke up, that nervous expression appearing on her face when she realized who'd stopped by.)

H-hi, Shirley...!

[aceshighmach]

I missed you at the feast. Are you coming along?

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

...Y-Yes! I didn't miss it, did I? (She didn't mean to sleep in; she was tired and felt like laying down for a while.)

[aceshighmach]

No it's still going.

Oh I just wanted to let you know that the 501st is still going on. There's just a lot of stuff we need to hash out first.

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

Oh... (Yoshika's expression didn't change, knowing it probably revolved around her but still pleased the party was going on.)

[aceshighmach]

Don't worry, no one's going anywhere. [Except Mio but she'll probably announce her leavetaking in a bit.]

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

Really...?

(She'll be surprised at Sakamoto later, but right now-yay! She moves to glomp Shirley, keeping in mind she's not yet fully recovered.)

[emorangerpink]

[Laura pokes her head around the door. Is Yoshika awake? She's happy enough to just leave her what she's brought and go without disturbing her...]

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

(...If Yoshika hadn't squirmed a little, opened her eyea and blinked a few times Laura might've gotten away. But since she did, her expression brightened once seeing the other girl.)

Hi, Laura~!

[emorangerpink]

Yoshika. I hear there was quite a fight out there.

[Laura produces something from behind her back - a piece of cake! And a thermal mug of tea to go with it.]

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

...Heh, ywah there was. I led my first team out on the field today.

(Yay, cake! And tea, both welcome treats for Yoshika to accept.)

[emorangerpink]

And kicked some ass, from what I'm hearing.

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

(Now Yoshika's really red, nervously swallowing a bite of cake seconds later.)

H-how much have you heard?

[emorangerpink]

Well, not a huge amount. Enough to gather that the brass were going to stand you all down, but even with the Major and Shirley out of commission you led everyone to victory and they had to beg you on hands and knees to forget the whole thing and keep going as before.

Am I close?

[Not going to wake her, instead going to grape a blanket over the young flier.]
"Rest, you deserve it."
[M1 leaves a little box on a near by table and leaves.]

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

...Mmmn?

(Yoshika's ears appeared for a few seconds and she smiled softly as well, almost as if she'd heard Mobius One's statement.)

[spiralribbon.livejournal.com]

[M1 right outside the doorway.]
"The future is in good wings."
[sticky-notes a "Do not Disturb" message on the door]

[Lynette leaves as early as she can, once her work in the party is finished and somehow makes sure Lucchini won't raid the kitchen.

Her first order of the day is return to Yoshika, with hefty slices in her hands.

...

When she realizes she didn't think this through, she tries tapping the door with her foot to see if Yoshika would hear it.]

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

(The good news about the tapping is that Yoshika's stirring, so she does in fact hear it. Blinking, she wipes any traces of sleep from her eyes before moving to answer it.)

...Coming!

[aceshighsniper.livejournal.com]

[And in good time. Once Yoshika opens the door, there is one witch with both cakes in her hands losing her balance with one kick that does not connect with the door. Does Yoshika manage to catch her?]

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

...Waah! Lynne?!

(Yoshika's fully awake now, pleased the other witch surprised her but worried for her safety.

And she's definitely more worried for Lynne than the cakes, as she holds out her hands to catch Lynne and hold her close.)

Are you okay, Lynne?

[aceshighsniper.livejournal.com]

[It goes well, fortunately. Lynette Bishop does not lose her balance, and she gets to save the cakes just as they stand over the edge of her plates.

As for how Yoshika holds her to prevent it from happening, Lynne doesn't quite notice.]

Ah... Thank you. That was really close. Are you alright?

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

...Ahh, yes! I-I'm okay. I'm just glad you're safe, Lynne.

Did you bring me some cake? They look delicious!

(Yoshika was pleased, but her face was also pretty red. She'd unknowingly squeezed Lynne's boobs to prevent her from falling. Once realizing it, she pulled her hands back, her face still red.)

[aceshighsniper.livejournal.com]

[Only when Lynne looks down she noticed the former place of Yoshika's hands. It's turned into a habit, she's begun to realize.]

... Yes, I did! I don't think I saw you out there, but after everything that happened, I understand it. I figured you would want some.
