{02} Haros l Voice l Filtered from Kira

[singstheprayer]

[It's late, but apparently tonight is a night Lacus is having a harder time sleeping. So she's still awake, trying to keep Haro from being too loud and waking Cagalli or Sheryl. She decides to check the tablet, maybe others are in a similar position, being friends from home but from different points, like she and Kira were. Maybe they might have some advice that might help. She never had particularly thought of it as an issue, not until Kira had brought it up with the fireworks earlier last month.]

I don't suppose....any others here have friends from home that are from different points? I have one who remembers two years more than I do. I didn't really think anything of it initially, but I'm just wondering how others might have dealt with it, that might help. Two years doesn't seem like that long, but a lot can happen.

[Well. That and, she figures things get more serious and intimate between them over that time. For her, they had only recently started dating, but for Kira they had been for a good while by the point he ended up here as well. That is probably her main concern, though she knows Kira would never push her on it, and that he had assured her it was okay to tell him if she wasn't comfortable. But she doesn't want to upset him either.]

Yeah...I was sitting in a tray of drinks, you know? So no one tried to explain too much to me then.

[singstheprayer]

Sitting in a tray of drinks....? [Or...oh. He meant he had been drinking?]

[inthejunk]

Yep. There was a party that month, with refreshments everywhere. And when my friend explained that our memories didn't match, I felt the need to sit down. Too bad something was in the way.

[singstheprayer]

[Oh, oh well, that....is kind of funny. Sorry Yosuke, but Lacus does have a giggle at picturing that, despite the situation.] I see. That probably was pretty surprising. I'm sorry to hear that though. Your pants must have needed a good wash after that. But you found out the one thing you wanted to?

[inthejunk]

I don't even remember feeling wet. Someone brought me up to my room after that and I couldn't sleep. But I did remember to ask the most important thing first, yeah.

[singstheprayer]

It can be hard to sleep somewhere you're not used to. [Lacus can understand that much, or perhaps it was because of the talk he had had with his friend.]

[inthejunk]

Yeah. It's the smell, I think. If it doesn't smell familiar, you can't relax.

[singstheprayer]

The smell....? Hm, you know, I think that could well be part of it, at least. I've never quite been able to put my finger on it myself before. I'm fairly used to traveling, of course, but this is quite different from all of that back home.

[inthejunk]

I noticed it when my family moved. For a while everything smelled wrong, but when it started to smell familiar, it felt more like home.

[singstheprayer]

Hm. That's true. The smallest things can sometimes make us...I'm not sure uncomfortable is quite the right word, but you're right. I don't suppose we could expect things to smell or look quite the same necessarily in another world like this, but in time I am sure we will all get used to it.

[inthejunk]

I guess people must. That's what they say.
