I think by an Earth calendar, today would be Father's Day.

To the other parents who are here... do you miss your children? Even if you wouldn't want them here.

I miss mine.

I'm sorry that this place keeps you from them.

I always thought this place was great because for me I don't get treated as badly as I did back home. But I forget that for some people it's really hard being here because of family or friends. [ It's an eye opening and sobering thought for him. He feels bad because Atushi seems so nice? He really wants to do something for the other man, despite not knowing him too well. ]

Oh! But! If you have a photo or something of them maybe I could...do a drawing commission for you? It might not be much but...having something like that may make it feel like they're a little bit closer, right?

[ He doesn't have any children of his own, no way to really connect, but if it's something like that then he could definitely do it. ]

[tigerpoet]

That would be very kind of you. I don't have any photos on me now, but I could ask for some from the Ware Wolf shop.

[It'd be a change from all the books he keeps summoning.]

[mysophobic]

That's not a bad idea. I might ask for some photos of home too. They'll at least be nice to keep around the house, especially after a long day of working at the clinic.

But whenever you feel ready, you can come ask me any time!

[tigerpoet]

I will, thank you!

What parts of your home do you like?

[mysophobic]

Parts I like? [ Hm. ]

I haven't really been out much back home. But I really enjoyed the island I grew up on. There's this forest with gigantic trees so tall that you have to fly around them in a plane. But the beaches and the town were so very...picturesque that people from all over the world used to visit them.

Oh but there's also Lueben! I got there just before coming here. It's more of a city, and really busy, it kind of reminds me of...here, actually. But there's so many places to visit there like museums and gardens...

[ Being a shut-in most of his life Shigeru has missed out on a lot. ]

How about you, Atsushi?

[tigerpoet]

I love museums too. Have you been to the one in Lunatia that opened recently?

I loved traveling to exotic places when I was at home. I spent some of the happiest times in my life on tropical islands like Palau.

[mysophobic]

I haven't! I should really check it out.

[ A tropical island, huh? His birthplace was like that... ]

You'd probably like Aphalone then. That's where I grew up! It's kind of like...Greece? It's very pretty and not too hot or cold. And there's a fruit that only grows there that tastes like a...blueberry mixed with a strawberry! It's called gyanu fruit! It very nutritious and healthy for you too!

[tigerpoet]

Oh, I would've loved to have been able to go to Greece, it's a beautiful place with a rich history. I know enough Greek to make my way around, too.

I was never able to travel as much as I wanted because of my health, but maybe Aphalone would've been good for me.

[mysophobic]

It sounds like a wonderful place to visit, if it's anything like my home, then I probably would enjoy going there too.

[ But, hm? ]

Your health? Are you sick? You're not sick here, are you? If you are perhaps I could help!

[tigerpoet]

Thank you, but it's alright. I was sickly when I was alive, but it doesn't affect me now.

[mysophobic]

Doesn't affect you...oh! Because everyone is cured here, right? Or do you mean that you...

[ Shigeru you can't just ask somebody if they're dead?! ]

I mean!! I'm sorry! That was rude of me to ask. I'm glad that you're okay here though.

[tigerpoet]

It's alright. Yes, I'm a spirit.
