[Voile has probably never looked so 'deadpan' when addressing the network, but in all honesty, it hasn't been the easiest time. In spite of raining donuts, which she went out of her way to avoid to the best of her ability.]

I have two things to bring up, which I'd meant to sooner, however wasn't sure when would be the right time.

I would like to host a contest for the end of this year, consisting of winter fashions, much the way the first contest was held. Based on various strengths of the competitors and featuring prizes this time around that will be more appropriate than some of what was offered previously.

For this, I'd like to enlist the assistance of one tall and somewhat muscular person, and one smaller, petite frame for some tailoring and advertisement purposes.

I'm also curious to know if there's anyone who continues to be interested in occasional Host Club gatherings. If so, I'd like to be responsible for those if no one has any objections.

[They hadn't talked since before her Birthday? That was a pretty long time. And the fact that Marie pretty much broke up with her while actually making her break up with him really didn't surprise Sonny too much. It did make him sad, though... and he was almost relieved that the fact that he felt remorseful over this. Yes, vastly preferable to the slight feelings of victory he'd felt in prior conversations over Marie's missteps with Voile. Maybe he wasn't really a terrible brother after all.]

I'm sorry he did that. But! Red told me I wasn't allowed to talk to you or he was going to... do something about it. And I'd already seen him hurt people. I didn't want him to come and... So! So, maybe he said the same thing to Marie as well? That might be part of it maybe? I know he wouldn't want anyone to hurt you either.

[HE really hadn't spoken to Marie much at all recently either, so, it might just be something more along the lines of the Wartortle wanting to be left alone completely. But it didn't hurt to speculate at this point, and there were plenty of factors involved.]

You haven't destroyed anything. Marie and I will always be Brothers. That doesn't mean we're always going to be happy with each other but even then, there's nothing that could stop us from loving one another. And I hope you know that no matter what you decide about Me or Marie or any of it? I'll always love you. You'll always be precious to me.

[She thought about what he had to say and nodded slowly, trying to commit it all to memory. Yes. Perhaps that day Marie came to her was a day that he was really trying to save her. Maybe. Save her from whatever Red would have done, except by that point, the damage had already occurred and the only thing that left was Voile being less than pleased.

But he didn't give her a lot of time to think about that because there he was with the concept of flattery. Not even flattery. Sincerity. Sincere flattery? Voile didn't even know. But hearing him say he loved her was difficult for her to just take. Not because she didn't feel the same way. Just... because it was hard to actually say that when she thought about what she'd done. Or what she hadn't done.

So sheepishly and shyly, she lifted her left hand and scratched idly at her cheek.]

...I... I'm not really sure what to say about all of that. I hope you're right, though. About you two. As for where you and I stand... Feelings are feelings are feelings. When I first saw you, it was like anything I'd ever felt just came... rushing back to me. In a way, it sort of drove me crazy, but maybe that was because of everything I didn't bother to tell you. Now I just don't know.

I mean. I do, but I don't.

You do but you don't? How confusing.

[He was being entirely earnest at this point. Not condescending as it may have come across. It WAS confusing!]

You don't have to decide anything right now, OK? If it's easier to just say 'See ya' for now then... that's OK. Maybe after some time has passed, you'll know more about what you want to do? And I'm a patient guy!

I know you're patient.

[And that made it harder. Because she wanted to be able to spend time with him without having to worry about odd tension sitting upon her shoulders. Even if he didn't feel it, she did and like it had in any other situation, it'd eventually come out and start affecting her normal behaviour.]

I can't really make a final decision on things right now, so I hope that's okay. My heart is a little all over the place, and my mind too. I wouldn't want to say one thing and go back on it or do something else. But I don't... really want you to wait for me?

[Meaning, if he somehow managed to fall in love with someone else while she was trying to put herself back together, she wanted him to pursue that avenue. Not hers.]

It's fine! It's OK! You just do whatever it is you need to do and make sure that it's really what you want, OK? I wouldn't want you to say something you maybe didn't mean? So... it's fine.

[He forced a smile and crossed his arms and took a step backward.]

If you really don't want me to wait then... that's fine too. I won't. I mean that... um? What I mean is I'll just go on doing the things I always normally do.

[He paused. He didn't want to be forceful about this. He didn't think that was his place. If she wanted him to Not Wait... well. He would do just that. Or at least do his best to appear as if he was not waiting.]

B-But if you ever want to talk to me or have lunch or anything like that then... Well, I'd really like that! And if we walk past each other in the hall or see each other in class? I hope we can still say Hi? Maybe?

[Despite all the teeth in his smile, his voice cracked a little. But he was going to do his best not to cry. That would be selfish. This couldn't be easy for her. And he really did just want her to be happy.]

[Lacing her hands together, it was hitting that line of tension that she wasn't good at handling and she knew it by the weight at her very chest. She shook her head at him with a small smile, trying to keep herself together for his sake and for hers.]

Yes, of course. I'm not saying we shouldn't spend any time together. I'm just saying that I might act a little out of sorts while I try to fix myself, okay? I just don't want you to take it personally. If you want to eat lunch with me, just tell me. If you want to go somewhere together, let me know. I'm not going to ignore you. I'm not going to be upset with you. I'm not going to ignore you.

[Voile paused and turned a few shades of pink as she continued.] I still care for you. About you. I still love you. You are still important to me and your happiness is still important to me. None of that changes, regardless of whatever I'm going through, okay?

Ok. I'm glad.

[He raised an arm and wiped it across his face as casually as he was able. Super sneaky tear removal sneak attack.]

I still love you too. And I hope we do get to spend time together, still. Just.. whatever you need me to do, you can just say so and I'll do my best. What ever you need.
