Is that, ummm...something and beans? "Lenti" is something like bean, I think...
Oh, but! It's good luck to eat toshikoshi soba! It's noodles in broth with vegetables and things added in, but the long noodles are a wish for a long life! Mm, and then there are bento bI JUST HAD THE BEST IDEA

[ delivering to rohan and reimi was the easiest part, especially since they both lived together! so of course reimi is going to find her very own cheesy valentine with lollipop all for herself.
on the back of the card the following is written out:
To: Reimi
From: Jolyne
Hope you have some fun plans lined up for today, because you deserve it! Happy Valentine's Day!

[ Hey, it's White Day. You know what that means? This guy, despite not being very traditional, still wants to do something small. He thinks it might be weird not to. And Rohan? Weird? Nah. So when Reimi wakes up, she'll find something waiting for her on the counter that absolutely were not there when she went to bed. There's no note, but it is obviously for her given that it is only her and Rohan in this apartment.
On the counter is a couple of boxes - all neatly wrapped up with white, and with a small - light pink bow on top. One of the boxes has colorful macarons inside. Another, has some white chocolate covered chocoaltes, and the last is a single red velvet cheesecake cupcake left for her. He held back a little.
He left these waiting for her so she'd get them first thing when she got up. This time, he wants her to start her day with it. ]

[Living with Rohan is awfully nice, and actually pretty routine. Most of Reimi's life is these days, between work at the cafe and studying her (admittedly reduced, thanks to her job life) schoolwork and coming back to Rohan's apartment again to hang out and fall asleep. There's a comfortable rhythm to it, and even with the moon cycles overlaid, she knows what to expect, and it feels good.
She vaguely remembers that it's White Day when she gets up, from bed, but somehow she's still not quite expecting the gifts she finds when she actually does trundle into the kitchen in her bathrobe and slippers. But there they are, three white boxes bedecked with pink bows, and they must be for her, because why else would they be here?
She opens them carefully, one by one, and as she does her expression softens with genuine pleasure. Then, replacing the macarons and the cupcake on the counter, she takes the chocolates and heads off to find Rohan, checking his bedroom first.]

Anytime, really. I freed up a lot of time in my schedule now that my big exam is over, and all I'm doing with that free time is worrying about what the results are going to be.
I could definitely use a talk. And a distraction. Especially if it's you.

[ A couple of days into Cordis, and today - Rohan has left Reimi alone all day. That is unusual, as he checks-in from time to time, usually when breaking from his own work. She'll find, upon getting home, that there is a good reason for this. As...the living room seems to have been totally rearranged. It does seem to feel more spacious, after he spent most of the day moving things and eating. And, in the corner near the small desk space he keeps out she'll also see a cat tree, which is the newest addition to the place. And, Reimi will also notice the cat who is now sitting with him on the couch has a collar - and a name tag (that definitely says "Fuku" instead of "Stinky"). He's not asleep, just has a book propped up and he's half-reading, half-petting a cat.
He'll pause though when he hears her. ]

[It's highly unusual for Rohan to leave Reimi alone, particularly so during Cordis, but she tells herself that he probably has his reasons and tries not to feel too morose about it. With her exam results still pending, she's been more anxious than typical recently, and the easiest remedy for that has been throwing herself into her activities — work, playing with Arnold, and exploring.
Today when she comes home, it's with an armful of shopping bags; evidently, Cordis and anxiousness had nudged her into a bout of retail therapy. And, when she arrives —
...Okay, so who called an interior designer while she wasn't paying attention?]
Hello?
[She pokes her head in, still laden with bags, and immediately quiets when she sees Rohan has a Little Furry Buddy™ with him on the couch.]
Hey...what happened in here?

So...I was thinking, on the evening of the 12th...we take a car to Lyestellus, and come back on the 14th.
I didn't want to spring anything on you, and I wanted to give you a chance to veto it.
But they have a nice inn and bath house and we can go out or not as much as we want.

...To Lyestellus, huh...
You know, it's really pretty there. And not just that, but...
I mean. We've got the apartment in Lunatia and the house in Amegahara, too. But even if someone showed up looking for us, no one would think to find us in Lyestellus, would they?

[Look, he doesn't have feelings because he's a Zeppeli with zero chill and no time for them. He definitely didn't notice the date and think of the young, murdered owner of the cat cafe. Didn't think about what a taxing day this would be for her.
Absolutely not.
It's not his fault this abomination happened to be on clearance and he had a craving for some cookies. He measured the ingredients perfectly, except the batch seemed to double in size before he knew it. A total accident, of course. And it's not like he has a good roommate to give the leftovers too.
There's no name attached to either item, but whenever she returns to work, there are a couple gifts waiting for her.]

[It was a sight to see over the years-watching this spunky girl come into her own and thrive in this second chance she was given. It surprised him to see her take up music with such intensity, but he wasn't remotely shocked at how she excelled in the art. Her innate talent and that undeniable spark in her soul manages to lift people up through every tune, every note, every song that echoes through the concert halls she plays in.
He's grateful, honestly, that despite her busy schedule, she's able to watch their kids on the few occasions both him and Leone are incapable of being home. The very few-a moment that seems to traumatize Caesar more than anyone because he always makes it exceedingly clear he's coming back and that he loves them-that he'll call them if either him or Leone will be late picking them up and-
Well, it's always hard for him to let go of his bambino and principessa when he leaves. The first time he talked himself out of the short trip within five minutes of walking away from the home, the second time he went a half hour, the third he managed to leave them, but it involved about 50 texts to Reimi within a 12 hour period and well, whatever.
He's getting better. He's not projecting. Leave him alone.
This time he only texts a good ten times and returns less than 24 hours later, but he acts like it's been several weeks and immediately scoops them into his arms in the most dramatic fashion possible. Their interest in Aunt Lina outweighs his return though. Ragù and Lasagna only allow enough time for Caesar to kiss the top of their small heads before they wiggle free back to their favorite aunt.]
I brought you a souvenir for all your efforts. We appreciate you watching them, you know.

[The truth of the matter is, Reimi'd had her trepidations in the years down the road, when it had started sounding like Abbacchio might be thinking about getting married again. Of course he deserves to have someone to love, and of course she only wants the best for him. It's just that he's been heartbroken so many times that she's afraid for him, a little bit, when things start getting serious and that hope starts rekindling.
But it turns out that he and Caesar are wonderful together, and their children are darling, and these days her surrogate older brother grins and laughs and gets up to mischief with a lightheartedness that she cherishes every time she sees it, and its starting to make her think that yeah, sometimes things really do work out.
Plus, she loves the kids. She's always been a babysitter first and foremost, even now that she's tried her hand at being an entrepreneur before eventually moving into a career in music. It makes her a little melancholy, still, whenever Caesar or Abbacchio drop them off — making her think, even after all these years, of Kishibe-san dropping Rohan off to stay a while with her, too.
But that's behind her now. The visit goes off without a hitch, and Caesar returns, and she relinquishes her two charges to his smothering care and enjoys a breath of fresh air before they swarm back over her again.]
Aw, don't make it sound like such a chore, Caesar! You know it's no trouble at all. We always have a great time, don't we, kids?

[ Mista had the good fortune of being a dragon again when the new month rolled around, feeling more confident than ever he didn't see much harm in at least trying to ask Reimi out for some sort of date. The first day of the month, Reimi will receive a rather large flower arrangement with a handwritten note attached.
Bella Reimi,
It's been far too long and I'd like to request your company for an evening in the next few days. My only wish is to take you out and let you experience anything you desire, I hope you'll take it into consideration.
I realise that this is sudden and doesn't give you much warning, but I look forward to hearing your response, even if you decide against it. I'll be waiting.
Sono tutto tua,
Mista ]
