Sandwitches> ------------------------------------------------------------
<Sandwitches> A time after Illya has seperated from her companions on the bridge, she approaches Ryou's room, giving the door three light knocks.
<BSRaven> "S'open." It's... oddly quiet in there, considering he was supposed to be busy with something.
<Sandwitches> Illya carefully opens the door, peaking around the door curiously.  "Ryou?"
<BSRaven> "That's me." He's lying on his bunk, looking a little... lost for thought.
<Sandwitches> Illya blinks and approaches.  "...You alright?"
<BSRaven> "Yeah, just thinking to myself."
<Sandwitches> She takes a seat at the foot of his bed.  "Alright, If you're sure."
<BSRaven> "I'd like to think I'm sure." He sits up... What is it with this guy and being shirtless in his own quarters?
<Sandwitches> She smiles a bit.  "Would you be up to talking a bit of... business?"
<BSRaven> "Works for me."
<Sandwitches> Illya nods.  "I'm planning on getting backing from some of the local government...  and creating a Diplomatic and Peace-Keeping organization."
<Sandwitches> "I want to know if you're in."
<BSRaven> "You had me at 'local government'."
<Sandwitches> "Seriosuly?"  She sighs and chuckles a bit.  "Guess I shouldn't be surprised."
<BSRaven> "Promised someone I'd put Radius to good use... Can't think of any better one than peace-keeping."
<Sandwitches> Illya smiles. "Sounds like the perfect one to me too...  We'll be able to save a lot of people this way..."
<BSRaven> "That we will..." A slightly sad look comes over the redhead's face as he looks away for a moment.
<Sandwitches> "..."  Illya wraps an arm around his shoulders.
<BSRaven> Getting... quite the blush out of him, actually. He's still looking away though, so it's only obvious in his posture.
<Sandwitches> "Don't worry...  I'm going to make sure this works..."
<BSRaven> "I don't doubt it... I just miss someone, that's all."
<Sandwitches> "... Who?"  Illya bites down on the urge to flinch at the admission.
<BSRaven> "A friend of mine. My old TacOp before everything went to shit... Decent enough guy. Kinda hope he got brought over here, if only because he didn't deserve a suckerpunch death like what a lot of others probably did."
<Sandwitches> She can't help but blink at that a bit.  "Well...  doing this, means we have a better chance of finding him, if he made it..."
<BSRaven> "Yeah, that's true."
<Sandwitches> "DOn't worry... If he's here... we'll find him."
<BSRaven> "Oh I don't doubt that. It's just weird, thinking about him when I have everyone here."
<Sandwitches> "...  Why is that so wierd?"
<BSRaven> "Well I said to myself I'd have a completely new start when the time loop ended. Just threw most of my memories outside of that day off into a corner and tried to focus on the now."
<Sandwitches> "...  Maybe your subconcious is trying to tell you something Ryou."
<BSRaven> "It tries to tell me a lot of things. Sometimes they're not the best things to hear."
<Sandwitches> Illy gives him a little supportive hug.
<BSRaven> "Still, people screw up, right?"
<Sandwitches> "It's part of being human."
<BSRaven> "Exactly."
<Sandwitches> "you just need to keep moving forward...  with a little Hard Work and guts, anything is possible..."

<BSRaven> "...Anything?" There's that thinking face again...
<Sandwitches> "Yes."  She smiles.  "Anything."
<BSRaven> "Would you put money on that 'anything' then? Just curious."
<Sandwitches> "If what the person who told me the phrase is true...  then just about anything, yeah."  Illya chuckles.
<BSRaven> Ryou laughs too, smiling for once. "I must be working too hard then."
<Sandwitches> "Why do you say that?"
<BSRaven> A fist clenches. "Just... If anything is possible with hard work as a factor?" A flash of gold runs across the arm attached to that fist... Which opens, revealing a rather simple necklace. "I need a vacation, because I don't remember ever even trying to do that."
