[The young girl had waited for some time.  Watching.  Listening.  She noticed a certain trend among her fellow foreigners--one that she had yet to become a part of.  And as the weeks past and she still had yet to join their ranks...]

[She didn't even bother attempting a smile as she turned the camera on.]

A lot of people have been talking about those letters.

But...what do you think it means if you didn't get one?

[It was almost a rhetorical question at this point; she might not have known for certain, but she could wager a guess.]

[ He can suggest that too, just wait until December. ]

It might not seem like it, but can you be 100% sure of that? What if future-you forgets something?

Alternatively, what can it hurt? I'll write one with you, if you want.

[December, huh?]

[...she'll be fifteen by then.]

I suppose. [She wasn't that against the idea. Like he said, worst case scenario, it might trigger something in her future memory. She was smart, but she wasn't eidetic. She did forget things sometimes.] What do you think I should write about?

What will you write about?

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

All the stuff I've learned here in Keeliai about people. Not like, secrets about them or anything, just... how they really are.

Will you write about me?

[Very subtle.]

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

Sure, I don't see why not.

And what will you say?

[ with mock-affront: ] You wanna spoil the surprise?!

I've never been very good with surprises, Jack.

[Unlike the in the past, though, the words were spoken good naturedly.]

Re: video;

[wintershepherd]

I've never noticed.

[ He's laughing when he says it, though. ]

I'm sure you haven't.

[She giggled right back.]

I'll tell you what. If you say one thing you'd write about me...I'll mention one thing I'd write about you.

[Because of course she would write about him.]

[ Jack makes a show of thinking about it. ]

Hmmm... I don't know if that's worth it, Midii...

[For a moment, she frowned. Looking genuinely upset.]

[...until she realized there was a strong chance that Jack was most likely still teasing her. It wasn't like him to say things like that to her and really mean it. But it was exactly like him to prolong a joke.]

You won't know until you try.
