21st bloom; Retreat
[It was that time of year again. There was a small gift in the form of a satchel of tea leaves for the people that Vinnie considered family. Red got a strong, black tea; Marie, a sweet berry tea blend; Sasha's had spicy peppercherry as a base. Though not technically a member of his team, Voile still received a subtle, white tea.
However: this year, for whatever reason, Green and Blue's team also got a surprise present. Green tea was reserved for Green (ha ha); Bulba was paired with sweet-smelling jasmine leaves; Char had smoky, cinder horse mix; Jolt's was a refreshing oolong; even Nyx got something, a ginger tea. Blue, on the other hand, was given a chrysanthemum tea, and both Jock and Blake got classic belle tart seed.
Each packet was signed with a scribble of a flower.
Max, on the other hand, got a mug.]

I'm heading home for a bit t'check up on family. There's some shit I need t'take care of in Vermilion, too. I've got my phone if you need me - it's some sort've satellite thing, so it oughta work even if I'm not in the usual reception range.
M, Sis, you've been through this already. Be careful an' look out for V and everyone else. You'll be fine without me. Red...
...
Be there for them. I'll talk t'you when I get back.

[Ishimaru, Vivian, and Rick also received private emails. It wasn't as though Vinnie knew them very well, but he felt as though it was still worth saying something to them. A certain empathy spoke to him, as it were, even if he didn't have all the facts.]
I don't know you, and I don't know what happened, but if you did what you had to, then don't blame yourself for what was self-defense.
It'll be okay.

[video] THE TENTACLES MADE A NOBLE SACRIFICE THIS DAY
I do. It's really nice. I'll have to remind myself to actually drink it, heh.
[video] delicious sacrifices
Thanks for the poffins by the way. I'll eat'em on the train.
[video] om nom nom
Oh! You're welcome. I'm glad you got them, haha. I was starting to wonder if you had gotten back out there or not.
