ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ It would be ridiculous to ask of a gift for you after I've just given you one myself, no? You can repay me much later down the line, if you feel so inclined. ✨ But please, it is yours now. You never know when you'll need to draw. ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ

ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ I'll be quite fine, I've taken a personal decision to personally oversee the new technologies of this world and how far they've progressed. Knives, "firearms," I've heard far too much to not be curious! ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ

ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ Cats of the modern age look… Different. Not by very much, but they're certainly bigger. ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ

ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ Well, well. I was wondering where you'd gone, old friend! ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ

ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ Any longer, and you'd have worried me into sickness, Guts. How did you expedition go? ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ

ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ You'd already tried once, have you not? Of course I would be afraid to lose my most prized captain. ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ

ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ Managing rations, primarily. The people are hungry and there simply isn't enough to keep everyone satisfied; as is the way all mercenaries must live. ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ

ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ I've handled the hard part, the rest is simple fodder. Though, I'd much rather you converse with Casca and hear her strategy plan. I think you'll take a great interest in what she's prepared… ✨ ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ

ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ / Admittedly, little to no Griffith muse right now. I'll be back when it's a little higher. 💧 ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ

ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ I'm a little late to say "Happy New Year," aren't I? Goodness, I'm terrible with time… ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ

ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ Well, it's nice to know I'm not the only one. We can celebrate New Years later than everyone else together! ✨ ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ

ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ I'm certainly not busy nowadays, but our traditional celebration has always needed… More of an open space. The city simply doesn't provide that, so instead — teach me how you celebrate. ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
