Floor 81

A look in his mailbox had Lucifel surprised. On the 24th November he had gotten mail from Yotsuba, along with a flower crown, a pair of white gloves, and a blue scarf. The gloves and scarf were crudely made but he could see how much effort she had put into this gift for him. On the next day he had gotten an anonymous gift. A pair of knit gloves and a scarf, both black. While he didn't know who they were from, they had been well-made...

It's the first time he was given gifts like that and he the first time he has been so torn.

Lucifel sat close at the windows where he had laid out both gifts in front of him. It was hard to decide on which one to wear.

Library, floor 3 (Judas, open)

Eventually Lucifel decided that he pondered on the choice of gifts for long enough. After all there were important things he had to tend to. He had wanted to speak to Judas about someone for a while, but doing so when the person he wanted to talk about with Judas was his room mate was a bit of a problem. So he had to wait for a good moment where he was alone. However, waiting for the right moment paid off, in the end he found Judas at the library.

The archangel approached the other male then and appeared in front of him. "Hey... there's something I'd like to ask you."

Floor Thirty-Two

It hasn't even been two weeks since the month had begun and Lucifel was fed up with the menu. Actually he had been fed up with it during the last Jason month already but he thought he could try to endure it. But he couldn't. His stomach went on strike. He'd rather go hunt than to eat another nutrition bar.

While he pondered on it a bit longer he decided that he would give it a try. but he would start with the basics first, just to try and see if he would get the hang of it. At the forest he had set up several snare traps, since he didn't need much to make them, he just had to make sure they were hidden well. Once they had all been set, Lucifel climbed up a tree, now all he had to do was to be patient.

It was a bit strange though... while he had done some 'human' things before he wouldn't have thought that he would ever go hunting.

Those wandering through this floor should watch out that they aren't accidentally ending up in one of his traps.

[The thing is this kind of thing has never been as question to him before. Until now.

But Lucifel quickly looks up when Enoch said he could fix her mistakes.]

... You would?

Of course. There can only be one reason this is such a difficult choice for you.

... Ah. Well.

[Was it so obvious?]

*Of course it was... For crying out loud, he had just interrupted himself for the sake of color-coordinating Enoch's winter-wear.*

Well? Would that make the choice easier for you?

*He gives Lucifel a hopeful smile.*

[What can he say, he just can't help it.]

... I guess it would.

[Now if this wasn't awkward...]

*Enoch's smile turns bright, and he reaches for the gloves.* All right, then. Take us to the workshop and I'll do it right now.

[... Okay, not that awkward for one of them.

He grabs the other pair of gloves and the scarfs, then Lucifel teleports them to the workshop without another word.]

*He knows pointing out Lucifel's awkwardness will just make him more awkward or defensive. So he gets right to work, finding a needle and thread and a seam ripper and undoing Yotsuba's mistakes methodically and fairly quickly. It's still obviously poorer quality than the gifts he'd received anonymously, but they're not so crude anymore. When he finishes with the left glove, he looks up at Lucifel.*

Will you show me your left hand?

[It certainly looked much better than before, that much was true.

Lucifel shows Enoch his left hand then.]

Here.

*Enoch stands up with the left glove and reaches out to gently grasp Lucifel's wrist. Steadying his hand from underneath with two of his fingers, he lays the glove on top of it and moves his hands so he's holding it taut against his fingers.

He takes the glove away again after a moment.* Hold it as if you're about to snap?

[As asked he moves his fingers so it would look like he would snap them any moment.]

Is that okay?

*Enoch nodded and took his hand again, holding the fingers of the glove against the fingers in question. Then he stepped back and went to find a pair of fabric shears. Or scissors. Something small to cut with.

When he did, he cut the tips of those off, just a little more than enough to allow for skin-to-skin contact there. The excess was folded in and sewn into a new hem. When this was done, he handed the modified glove to Lucifel.*

Try this?

...

[Lucifel put the glove on quickly and flicked with his fingers once. Nothing happened as he just wanted to test if he could do something at all.]

Thank you.

It's nothing, after all you've done for me.

*He's practically glowing at his success.*

[Is it possible to feel that glowing from him? Either way, it's been a long time Lucifel has seen Enoch like this...

Or was this the first time? He couldn't remember.]

*Enoch gives Lucifel a lighthearted little laugh and sits to work on the scarf next. That bit of radiant happiness never leaves throughout.*

[Oh well. Lucifel decides to watch Enoch as he works on the scarf, perhaps he could learn something from it.]

*He was just fixing up some of the runs. He gets up eventually and drapes it over Lucifel's neck.* Is this better?

[He blinks a few times when the scarf got draped over his neck and looked down at it. Well, like this he could use the other set in case the ones Yotsuba made would get ruined.

He looks up at Enoch then, a genuine smile on his face.]

Much better.

Good...I'm glad.

*Enoch smiles that warm, glowing smile again. He helped make Lucifel happy - genuinely happy.*

[... Really, he has never seen him smile this much before. Especially like that.

It is... how is it said? ... "Heart-warming", wasn't it?]

*In a place like this, it's really all one can do, to find happiness.*

[It probably is.]

I guess I should put the others in my trunk.

Right...that's what I did with my extra scarf. It's best, in case something happens to the one you have now.

Let's hope that nothing will happen to it.

[He wouldn't want to upset the person who made him these and the one who fixed it.]
