"We're going out today," he tells them with a grin, then leads the way into the First Ring without further explanation.

"I've been practicing Intimation," Eleven says eventually. "Yes/no questions are easy enough to interpret, but more variable answers can be more difficult to divine."

He turns on them once the Ice Creamatorium comes into view. "Neither of you told me about your birthdays, so since it's too late for gifts already, I've decided we're celebrating today for Yotsuyu's."

Ah, she'd stuck her foot in it again, hadn't she? Not by any design, but still. It was intended to be a celebration, and Yotsuyu--well. It wasn't ruined, yet.

"Tell me later. This is supposed to be a happy time, and I shall not let my ignorance invite in a presence who does not belong here! We are friends and we care about each other. If nothing else, let us celebrate that!"

It was as if she'd invited Asahi. He had as much place as this Jasper, in her mind. Though she certainly might ask Hendrik about him.

Only at another time.

[unswervingcompanion]

Hendrik hummed at Eleven's insistence but he didn't comment on it. He would still take the blame, just because someone said it wasn't his fault didn't make it so.

His blue green eyes turned to Yotsuyu then and he nodded. He would deal with this in private later and once again try and figure out how things had gone so wrong. Sighing, he tried to give into what she wanted to do, so he put the gold shield pendant away.

"I may require assistance to put this new necklace on."

[bearshermark]

"I can help," Eleven offered immediately, standing. "..Unless Yotsuyu wants to, I mean."

[darkenedmoon]

"Please, allow me." She stood and reached over to pat Eleven on the shoulder, but then offered a hand to Hendrik to take the chain back.

Once she had it, she leaned forward to drape it around his neck, carefully, as she didn't want to catch either his hair or his beard in the links. Once that was settled against his chest, she fastened the back and let it fall with a satisfied nod.

[unswervingcompanion]

Hendrik went to say something to the Luminary and then his jaw snapped shut as Yotsuyu took command.

He didn't know what to say or do so he remained quiet and didn't say anything at all. It felt..different to have her put a necklace on him but he couldn't pinpoint as to why that was.

But he would swear he felt different when the necklace fell into place and her hands were no longer at the back of his neck.

The knight's eyes sought Yotsuyu's as he nodded.

"Thank you."

[bearshermark]

Eleven sat and went for his ice cream, glancing between them and eating thoughtfully. He'd never seen them this close before. They almost seemed..

Oh.

He swallowed and elected not to interrupt.

[darkenedmoon]

"You are welcome." She patted Hendrik's shoulder gently, leaning in to give the knight a quick hug before she resettled herself in her seat.

She said nothing, but gave Eleven the most innocent of looks.
