Hello, everyone. I know a lot of you are... busy getting ready for the draft and all, but- I was just curious.

[ There's worry in Serah's eyes, even if she isn't one of the names listed as being required to leave for battle... and even though she manages to just barely keep the full extent of her discomfort hidden, she also very nearly aborts the message then and there. In comparison to what so many people are having to worry about right now, this is just so silly...

Regardless, there comes a point where not even Serah's formidable drive to keep from inconveniencing people isn't strong enough to go against the sheer strength of her loneliness. Set on making this as un-awkward as possible, she takes a breath and pushes on. ]

You see, Fang's gone home, I guess, so ... is anyone looking for a roommate? I have a dog, if that matters, but otherwise... [ Again she makes a blank sort of look before quickly adding in a stronger smile- a bit forced given the situation all around, but a sincere attempt to ease the tension. ] Well, anyway, tell me if you're interested.

You could always come live with me and Caius if you want. We've got a big house with plenty of room, and we don't mind animals at all. Um, as long as our animals don't mind yours, that is.

-- Ahhhh... who?

[ ... Way to go Serah, that wasn't polite-- or dignified, in any way at all. The way she rapidly shakes her head in reaction to her own response is actually audible, thanks to the little beads she has tied up in her hair at the moment.

It's just. Knee-jerk reaction- did he say Caius? ]

Caius. Do you know him?

[He... hasn't quite picked up on the fact that that was a negative reaction just yet. He just thinks she's surprised to find out that someone she knows is here!]

Ah. [ She half clears her throat, half laughs awkwardly. ] No, I don't think so.

[ Thankfully, once the first second or so of being startled wears off, PULL IT TOGETHER-ing becomes a lot easier-- for the most part. She figures it's just someone with the same name, but... ]

He's a little loud sometimes, but he's really a nice person. I'm sure he'd be happy to have someone else around the house too.

[Hopefully that's enough of a tip-off that this isn't in fact the same Caius she's thinking of.]

[ Yeah, the Caius she's familiar with is... well, from what she does know of him so far, she can't really see him... being happy about much. Or being nice in general. He's kind of ridiculously intimidating in his seriousness, really. ]

Ah. Sorry. It's just... I knew someone else with that name, back home.

[ AND HE IS KIND OF A DOUCHEBAG. ]

Oh... I'm guessing he wasn't like this Caius at all, huh?

[Whoops. WAY TO GO, EMIL. He understands, though, because he's run into name confusion issues before on many occasions over his time here. 'Caius' definitely isn't one he would've pegged as a common name, though.

... then again, that's probably why she seemed so surprised.]

Not really. [ Finally her tone turns a bit more amused as she admits it, in that sort of 'this is an immense understatement' kind of way. ] He's not really... the kind of person you'd want to live with, I think.

[ Even if Noel apparently would disagree. Somehow. ]

Yeah, that's definitely a different person. This Caius is really nice, even if he is a little messy with his stuff.

[ For some reason, she pauses, but then just kind of laughs. Talk about a weird knee-jerk misunderstanding to begin with, but now she's reminded of something else too. ]

[Well, that's a bit confusing for Emil, but he's pretty sure it's not a bad sign, at least.]

... huh? What's so funny?
