[ It takes him some time to figure out where this Konoha lives. Not for lack of trying, nor from dragging his feet over it. Just– he'd meant to ask Matthias, after they had their conversation, but then the Fjerdan had disappeared. Gone, without a trace. The same had happened with Nina and Wylan, and then eventually, Jesper.
Suffice to say, he's spent the last couple weeks looking for people he knows aren't here any longer.
But just like anything he does, he swallows the bitter taste of disappointment (so familiar) and moves on. He said he'd return the knife he'd stolen on a lark, so he will. After all, it's not like it has any use to him.
So, this is how he ends up at Konoha's front door, rapping on the door briskly. ]

Konoha! I just
This is probably very obvious, I know! But I want to make it clear that you and your husband are invited to my wedding. To Leone. When it happens. I think it'll be in Sanguis season! When there are more details, I'll do a more formal invitation. I just wanted you to know that you're going to be the guest of honour.
And thank you! For...Inspiring me to grab my happiness with both hands and never let it go. Thank you.

[ For this holiday, chocolate is of course customary. Knowing as he does that Konoha can't safely consume it, however, Sandalphon opts for something else. Around midday, a courier delivers a parcel to her doorstep, wrapped in pink paper and tied in a red ribbon.
Within, she'll find an assortment of layered, heart-shaped sugar cookies with strawberry preserves sandwiched in between.
Attached is a small card reading:
Happy Valentine's Day to my friend and first customer. ]

[It's been a hot minute since she's even spoken to Konoha, but for some reason she was the first person that came to mind for this. So:]
Hey Konoha! It's Pidge.
Hey Konoha! It's Pidge.
[ erik squints at her, partially bemused. ]
Gotta hand it to you, I didn't expect this.

[consider this a declaration of intent: wei wuxian, self-aware and appropriately versed in the comedies of shameless enticement, is inviting one and all (for some measure of all, as he is only one man with two hands) to take part in a little... experiment.]
as the snow thaws,
as new grass springs from the earth,
as the sun rises, warmer—
i offer my hand to hold,
without question,
without judgment.
-
a favor for a favor: a confidence, a deed, or a kiss. my ask: a child's toy for gusu lan's hanguang-jun, in honor of his fatherhood.

[ There's a photo attached of the wineshop's menu, with little notes written in like *I recommend this one for flower viewing! and *This one is good with strawberries! Shi Qingxuan could have just delivered this by hand, but he doesn't know where she lives...so he just sends a photo instead! ]
We're in the Caihong area of level three. We're open most days from the late afternoon to the evening, so please visit whenever you'd like. There are samples, too, so feel free to try anything that catches your eye!
We hope to see you soon!

[ They're not supposed to have the orphans in Lunatia, for very good reasons that presently did not convince the young, pearl scaled little dragonling that'd hidden in his sleeves and poked her head out of his collar and refused to leave ever since he announced he was making a day trip to Lunatia for a delivery to friends. She even bit his ear in complaint earlier, met with stern reprimand, keening complaint, and now a dragon that drops them off in the roadway before the farm with the tacit understanding that they'd be both picked up come later that day. Dragonlets faced too much temptation in Lunatia with its Chroma rich environment, and he was not to let her get out of hand.
Still, there she is, a narrow face with long whiskers and bright blue eyes, her mane in greens and silvers and blacks and blues a fluffy, small thing around the back and crown of her head and down along her jaw. She sneezes as they walk forth, seemingly with nothing carried. Shen Qingqiu takes advantage of his sleeve of holding at times like these, and today, ah, today he's brought enough wine to perhaps even allow jinba inebriation.
He even offers a small smile upon catching sight of Konoha, nodding his head toward her. ]
Miss Konoha, I come bearing gifts. Please allow this one to impose on you for a meal today to then ply them on you with no guilt.

[ it's one of those rare occasions where six is actually checking the network, but maybe it's good that he did so this time around. he remembers her wish, back when they first met, and while it's hard to convey empathy via text, here's an attempt anyway: ]
How are you faring?
[ this is sent straight to her private inbox if only because he has no idea how to respond properly to a network post. forgive him. ]

[ Sometime around July 20th, a gift basket will arrive at the Tsurugi Farmstead. Specifically, it is a fruit basket, and even more specifically a basket of apples. They are not the conventional kind, however: these apples are golden in colour, almost shimmery, and when bitten into they explode into a delicate, fragrant sweetness that melts on the tongue. In large quantities, they will cause a pleasant buzz, similar to strong alcohol.
The attached card is addressed to Konoha. Its handwritten cursive missive reads as follows:

When we spoke, you told me that it was possible for my wife and I to be reunited; scarcely a day later, she arrived in Lunatia. I cannot help but feel that your well-wishes on the matter were not without effect, and for this I am immeasurably grateful.]

[It was a strange thing to wake up with months of additional life experience suddenly crammed into your everything without having ever really felt like you left a place. Disorienting, to say the least. He'd have assumed it to be just a strange dream were it not for the obvious physical changes that followed him back to Lunatia-- waking up with only one working eye was something he'd have to adjust to, but it was nothing in light of knowing he'd succeeded in curing his sister.]
[The arm would take a little longer to get used to.]
[It took him a few hours to settle back into his routine in Lunatia, figuring out how to make tea one-handed and everything else, until he glanced at a digital clock on the wall that displayed the date. The last date he remembered seeing was four days prior, which was immediately cause for concern, but immediately more cause for concern because the day before yesterday he'd been scheduled to work at the Tsurugi Farmstead.]
[He threw himself at his phone (because he never wore the thing on his wrist like you were meant to) and immediately called Konoha, leaving a frenzied message.]
Konoha-san!! Th-this is Tanjiro, and-- ohhh, my gosh, I'm so sorry, I wasn't at work the other day!! I don't really know what happened, but I think I went home for a few days? A couple months actually passed at home but it's only four days after the last time I checked the date, here, which makes no sense but also plenty of sense because nothing here makes sense in the first place.
[The whole time he's talking there's a bunch of noise around and he keeps grumbling at nothing while he fights his way into his work clothes while also trying to talk on the phone.]
--anyway, I'm headed up to you now, I'll make it up to you!! I'll work all this week for no pay if you need me to, I'm so sorry!!

[It's an envelope sealed with a very snazzy wax seal. The importance of it is slightly marred when the melted and hardened wax was shaped in the manner of a heart. The card inside bears a stylized, cutesy drawing of Kanji and Naoto dressed up and ready to roll, but it seems Kanji is in the hikifurisode, while Naoto's dressed as the groom.
...Is anyone surprised, though? The card reads:
Kanji & Naoto
Request the pleasure of your company
as they join in marriage
on
November 20th, 12 noon
Moonlight Inn, Lyestellus
Reception to Follow
On the back is the handwritten message: May as well make it official, right? I hope this doesn't look too formal. -Kanji]

[If there were not previously hot springs in Lunatia, there are now. If there were, great! Tanjiro is in them. Probably the same day they'd first yelled about him being a dragon, but late evening, and he sends Konoha a video post with his device propped up a safe distance from the water, draped over a rock and looking hilariously sour.]
...sorry to bother you so late in the day, but would you be up for a chat?

[ Okay, well.
Remembering the previous night isn't the freakiest thing about waking up (on the floor, of course) when he still has being a giant deer from the waist down to contend with. But it comes back to the forefront pretty fast, the effects of Iris — some of them, anyway — having peaked and started to wane.
And with that's come a complete and utter uncertainty as to how Konoha must be feeling about this, or even how Simon feels about this, frankly. He just eventually manages to haul himself to his desk, legs half-folded under him and head laid sideways in an awkward way that at least accommodates the antlers, to tap out a text. ]

[The Tsurugi Farmstead receives a nicely-wrapped package one day: when Konoha opens it there's an ornate (and rather large) box from a bakery inside, along with a card.
In the box are an assortment of pastries: muffins, but also eclairs, macaroons, madeleines, and so on. It's a veritable feast, and likely expensive (though perhaps it's not as much of an issue here, where money is much esier to come by.
The writing on the card is in a neat and crisp, if slightly flowery hand, the line thin and careful.
Madame Konoha,
Please consider these as a token of my gratitude for taking care of me when I was under the effect of the Light Year Float. I apologize for disrupting your day, and for any trouble I may have caused at the time. That said, your hospitality was greatly appreciated. I hope you have a nice day.
Sincerely,
Joseph Desaulniers]
