[he truly is a needy baby. he's impatiently waiting, shifting from foot to foot but it doesn't take long for the sparkles to appear. there's a noise of awe as he watches before he jumps in surprise, whirling around to face swan. he's holding a small bouquet of bright flowers in his hand, along with an individual-sized fruit tart in the other but he smiles upon seeing them.]
Hi. You're Swan, right? [yes, moron, that's what the note said would happen. but he's also offering the gifts right away.] These are for you.
[ Well, the answer is, much like last time, pretty much instant. Unlike last time, though, it's... a little... different. There's a shower of sparks behind Sora, and-- ]
UGHHHHHHHHH
[ blink and you miss it, Sora, it's a good thing you're used to teleporting because Swan brought you to the forest! They're immediately letting go of him to go hit a tree with another scream, fist lit up in a bright light.
[oh good. we're on the move today! also, zia, go nap. he's used to this though and once they're in the forest he watches swan punch a tree. the light's interesting? maybe don't hurt yourself.]
Yeah...that's a mood. [but he'll approach them anyway to grab their arm before they punch the tree again.] Don't hurt yourself.
[ sora will receive a message telling him to head to the bridge! this is what it's like when you contact a leader who can't just appear out of thin air.
if he does, he'll find fox waiting there. they turn to him with a tired smile. ]
[well. now he's walking toward the bridge holding a bowl of soup, so maybe he should just stick to pastries from now on. as he approaches fox though he lifts the bowl more like a greeting than anything.]
I wanted to check in and see how you were doing. [he also has questions but...that's priority.]
[out of the three of them that were present, he feels so bad for rabbit. so once they bow he sort of awkwardly bows his head back before offering her the flowers.]
Hi. I know it's not much, but I thought they might make you feel better. [they're bright colors and after the gruesome morning it might be nice to have them around, he thinks.]
[he will wait! he will wait very patiently because while he likes all of the leaders so far (to...varying degrees), he respects fox enough to listen without complaint. on the other hand he doesn't quite hear the knock so he doesn't react right away, but he manages to catch them out of the corner of his eye.]
Hi. I'm not pulling you away from something important, am I? [he has an offering and everything? he's doing Great.]
[ incoming text from wolf! it simply says "outside". this is terrible text etiquette. but sora will wait for a little bit outside the planetarium before wolf shows up, because some people. have to walk. ]
Shouldn't you be resting?
[ is how they greet him, because sora looks like shit. ]
[ there's not even a warning it's just one second swan is there, the next they've grabbed sora's wrist and have teleported them both to the forest again. at least they picked a nice fieldish area ]
Are you mad at me? You got hurt on Thursday and you didn't come see me and I've been worried but then there was those dead people and I couldn't just ask if you were okay and
[it's a little bit of time before he leaves the planetarium, but when he does and goat suddenly appears in front of him, there's a cry of surprise and he nearly drops the plate in his hand.]
A little warning would be nice, you know. [he's a little flustered but he's not really mad.] Thanks for coming.
[ It takes a bit? Like, way longer than Sora is used to from Swan? but she does eventually answer him! and by answer i mean teleport, half-fall on half-grab him and then bring him back to her bedroom immediately, flopping on top of him on the bed. she was not even wearing her cloak. ]
Hiii. [ she sounds tired but. still happy to see him. i hope he wasn't in the middle of doing anything important. ]
[he was probably just at the dock, honestly, which means swan teleports him out of town and back to the castle, hands flailing a little as he lands on her bed. but hm. hello? swan? you okay there?]
Hey. You're much less Swan-ish today. [it's a lighthearted attempt, but he's worried.] You okay?
[ you've got mail! and by mail i mean a text message. wolf tells sora to meet them at the book store. this is incredible. shook. they're not reading a single book when he gets there but STILL. ]
[belatedly i realized he could have picked up a whole-ass sheep to bring so be glad it's a chicken. the chicken clucks patiently though and sora seems to be petting its feathers as he approaches.]
Hi. I know this is weird, but it's also kinda soothing. [rabbit can pet the chicken if they want. it's a therapy chicken.]
[he's expecting them, at least, so when fox knocks he offers them a smile.]
Hey. Thanks for coming. [his offerings are still in his hands but he seems to be looking them over carefully.] I wanted to say hi...are you feeling a little better?
[ guess who's showing up wherever sora is because ty said he'd call. anyway. she's still got littlefoot with her and she's not bothering wearing her hood ]
[well if he called he's probably at the planetarium which is fine because swan is a light bird. but also he just looks very distressed? and immediately family hug time now.]
I'm sorry. We tried, but we didn't have enough time and I didn't know...I'm sorry.
It's fun, right? I thought you'd like it. [happy to help, swan.] You're stuck at the castle all week but this way it'll kinda be like you got to visit anyway.
[wolf...buddy. it is a cake! it might have been because he was going to make a joke about wolf's wedding but also he can read that look so he offers them a grin.]
You never seem to really react to the savory dishes I offer you, so I thought something sweeter might be a good change of pace.
Hey. [that's...immediately obvious. swan never hesitates around him except the time she thought he was mad. so he offers the gifts?] I wanted to see how you were doing.
[he approaches! hello fox, sora looks way too comfortable and has officially sunk back into being a lazy beach bum. but as he approaches he hands over the pizza on a paper plate.]
Figured this would be easy to eat one-handed. [sir, your arm.]

week 0, monday
It's almost like the stars themselves answer Sora in a shower of sparkles before he hears a voice behind him: ]
Yes! Hi! I'm here!
[ Swan has clapped their hands together, and they don't seem exhausted at all despite getting here... so fast. ]
no subject
Hi. You're Swan, right? [yes, moron, that's what the note said would happen. but he's also offering the gifts right away.] These are for you.
