For those of you who knew them, both Makoto Kino and Haruka Tenou have gone home. A few months back Ami Mizuno also left us. I know I will miss them a lot. They are all from the same world as I am. I am blessed to still have Usako and Minako here with me.

[He's not sure what he'd do if he was all on his own. That would be ... different. Most likely he would be fine, but he's glad he doesn't have to find out.]

There's a garden in our house that both me and Makoto took care of. Of course I will continue working on it, but if any green mages would like to come around to practice their skills with it, that would be fine with me. It's nearing winter, so getting the garden prepared for that is very high on my priority list.

At least I should be able to give them plenty of light during winter with light magic.

action; because i'm a CHEATER

[ No matter whether it's in the house or in the garden - Minako will find Mamoru, okay. She will hunt this man down the moment she sees the post. Because whereas Minako is entirely comfortable just ignoring the absence of their friends on a personal level, since it's easier to hide that stuff deep down, Mamoru did sound bothered by it.

And Minako is not about to let Usagi and Mamoru get bothered by it, if she can help it even just a little bit.

It's why she just smiles when she does find him. ]

Mamoru-san. Are you alright?

you cheat :0

[Mamoru can be found from the garden, giving some extra energy to some of the more cold-vulnerable plants. He looks up when he hears someone walking towards him and smiles lightly.]

Hey Minako. You saw my post, huh?

[Why else would she suddenly ask that.]

I'll be fine. Don't worry about me too much.

[reloves]

[ It's very unsurprising to find him in the garden, really. It's one of the first places that she went to look for him, so Minako thinks she's lucked out with the fact that he's actually there when she comes to look. ]

Hey, hey. Who said I was worrying?

[ Please, Minako. You're always worrying. But she seems to be lightly joking as she says that anyway, judging by the way she smiles. ]

Maybe it's just the duty of the goddess of love and beauty herself to look out for everyone. [ .. or maybe it's her duty as a soldier to look out for Usagi - and therefore for Mamoru in turn, considering how big of a part of Usagi's happiness he is, but ssh. ] And I guess quite a few of us have left pretty recently.

[reincarnatedprince]

Of course... your duty.

[Mamoru felt kind of at loss, regarding "duty". This wasn't Earth, he didn't have his powers. What was there to protect about him?

Of course, he didn't really voice these thoughts out loud very much... and Usagi was still worth everything in his eyes. It was complicated.]

The house does feel emptier now.

We could always invite new people.

[ Though she does suppose that it wouldn't be the same. Especially since it's not like their friends from back home can be replaced - nor even the other people in the house, who Mamoru and Usagi knew for longer than Minako has even been here.

But it's not like mourning their loss is going to make them happy, so.. ]

I know this sort of thing can hurt, but.. it's not going to be forever. We'll see Mako-chan and Haruka-san again as soon as we go home.

[reincarnatedprince]

We could. Do you have anyone in mind who might need housing?

[Mamoru doesn't feel like it's replacing anyone. Just using the space given to them smartly and helping others.]

Yeah. It's not a goodbye, just a temporary separation. Besides, we still have each other.

[ There's a faint moment where Minako seems surprised, but then she just hums. ]

Me?

[ Her brain immediately starts whirring, trying to think of the people she's met in this place. A lot of people did seem like they had their own place already, but..

Minako lets out a sound of surprise. ]

Oh, definitely Monika-chan! She's one of my friends here. I heard she was planning on moving out of the inn to go live somewhere all by herself.. Isn't that way too sad and lonely?
