[The voice mail message sounds like it's being recorded from a distance....]

So I just say something into here, and then it'll say it back to people later? How does that work? My voice is inside the phone? How does that wor--beeeeeeeeep

[It's fine, she'll figure it out.]

[Does Gabi even know how to use these devices properly yet? She's young, but also new... eh, he hopes for the best.]

Hey. I'm going to go out on a quest for a while. I'm not sure how long it will be, so I wanted to give a heads up. Mikasa's staying behind so I'll update her on how things are going.

action

[hometown]

[ As soon as he's sure he cut the video to Hange, Reiner immediately turns his attention to Gabi. The concern he'd managed to keep off his face during the call slams in full force; he rises and reaches out, aiming to give her shoulder a squeeze. ]

Are you okay?

[ No apologies (yet), just concern for his cousin. ]

Re: action

[nodevils]

Huh?

[Gabi blinks once.]

Y...yeah. I'm fine.

[She was fidgeting and looking pretty unhappy about something around the time Hange was talking about, y'know. Stuff with Zeke and Falco...but she honestly looks pretty relieved, now.]

I'm. I'm really glad you reached out to Hange-san. I think it was a really good idea.

text; un: Levi; soon after the beach party

[wingbound]

[ So, Levi doesn't text, not normally. He'll usually show up in person, or send Eren with a written note. In this case, though, both options aren't particularly plausible; for one, Reiner could be home, and two, he imagines Gabi would still rather not see Eren's face any more than necessary. ]

[ But this is important, because it's now twice that he's run into Reiner and apparently both times were a hair's width away from tragedy. It's unsustainable. ]

[ So, there he goes, using his sparse skills to type up the words torturously slowly with his single index finger. ]

Are you planning to tell him?

Levi

[ He's talking, of course, about the Alliance, give or take the end of the world. ]

/? not sorry

[nodevils]

Tell who what

[nodevils]

I don't even know what you're talking about

[nodevils]

You gotta be more specific

[nodevils]

Are you implying I've been not telling some guy something

[nodevils]

I don't even know why you would imply that

[nodevils]

Frankly that's offensive

[nodevils]

I tell people stuff all the time

[nodevils]

Important people AND important stuff

[nodevils]

It's not like I'm intentionally not telling someone something

[nodevils]

Why would I even do that

[nodevils]

Cause I'm scared?

[nodevils]

That's ridiculous

done

[nodevils]

I'm not scared, you're scared

[hometown]

Hey, Gabi. Did you know that you're the best cousin ever? Because you are. Like, ever. In the history of cousins. You're the best

[nodevils]

I know you are but what am I.

action; sometime in September?

[wingbound]

[ Did Gabi move yet? No matter, Levi knows her address anyway -- and sure enough, one day, he just randomly shows up at her door, cane in one hand and a small brown paper package in the other. ]

[ As soon as she opens, he's shoving the package at her with no preamble, because of course. ]

For you.

[ He... may have gotten her another one of the Safety Pins! It's not like he chats with Reiner about things or anything. ]

text; un: reiner (after porco's arrival)

[hometown]

Hey, Gabi. I hope today's tests are going well. I've got good news: Porco Galliard just arrived. He's from the future, like you. I'm helping him settle in.

[nodevils]

Hey Reiner!
Thanks for checking in! I'm just in between tests right now, everything's going fine! I'm still trying to get the hang of converting energy into solid earth but I think I'm getting closer!
That's cool! I gotta go back in, now! I'll talk to you later!

Gift Delivery!

[sunspotted]

[ Gabi should be expecting a gift from Marco via Reiner the week of 12/24!

The present, a leather woven bracelet like the one he talked to Reiner about; it has red-brown beads woven through it. There's also cranberry sugar cookies for Gabi to partake of! ]

[rustyhonesty]

On 12/24, a delivery is made by a Fairy service.

There's a rather long package. Inside is a sword in a sheath. It's a sword made by Jean, just for Gabi. There's a note that says that Reiner helped with the design and could probably teach her how to use it, too.

The card simply says: "Happy Holidays from Jean"


OOC note: You can pick the design for the sword yourself; it's definitely customized in a way that reminds of Gabi, as it was designed by both Reiner and Jean together.

gift delivery

[hometown]

[ On the Solstice, Reiner leaves a package outside Gabi's bedroom door. It contains a leather-bound journal with crisp, cream-colored pages enchanted to never smudge. It is paired with a pen enchanted to never leave the writer's hand tired.

A note is tucked inside the journal, written in Reiner's neat (Marleyan) script: ]

To the best cousin in existence. I love you.

- Reiner

note;

[hometown]

[ After Armin's visit revealed Bertholdt's fate (and several text messages confirmed it), Reiner writes a note for Gabi. Maybe he should wait to see her in person instead, or at least explain what happened. But honestly, he doesn't know if he could bear it right now. ]

Gabi,

I'm visiting a Segment for a while. Jean will come by to take care of my cat. Let Galliard know if you need anything.

- Reiner
