All classes at the temple of Menrva will be cancelled until further notice due to her disappearance.

To our other teachers, please feel free to reschedule at different locations. Thank you for understanding.

Are you sure?

[She taps at her phone, a million questions racing through her mind. 'Are you alright?' 'Do you need anything?' But she doesn't feel like any of these should actually be asked, like it's obvious.

Instead, she sends a follow-up text of:] Do you drink coffee?

[reformedsinner]

Yes. The library is gone, too, so there's nowhere to put it back even if you brought it.

I prefer tea, but I don't dislike coffee.

[onerous]

Hisoka used to tell me, "Sometimes a cup of coffee can make all the difference" and that "Sometimes life is merely a matter of coffee and whatever intimacy a cup of coffee affords."

When things were bad, she made me coffee. I suppose it's silly, but I'd like to make you some, sometime. [He's done a lot for her, after all, and she's hardly done anything to help him back.] This isn't something I offer lightly. I never made coffee for anyone else before, except her.

[It's a stupid offer, she thinks, and she feels ridiculous offering it. But there's no easy or simple way to explain how much the gesture had meant to her at the time it had been offered, so she just has to hope Hakkai can sort of gleam the idea behind it himself.] But it's something. When you're ready.

Thank you, Yuri. I'd be honored to accept a cup of coffee.

Maybe in a few days?

[onerous]

Alright. Thank you.

And... Please take care of yourself. You're not alone, you know. The responses here are proof of that. [She doesn't want to get preachy or anything or jut start parroting everything Hisoka would say-- but it's really her only point of reference for these sorts of things right now.]

[reformedsinner]

[It's not preachy: it's just true. He might not yet be willing to accept the help everyone's offering -- what is there to help with, in any case? -- but it's an oddly warming feeling nonetheless that they're here to offer.]

It seems I'm not.

I'll see you at your temple then?
