[ Maybe. Though he knows that Blanc had fought to separate from Noir in the first place, and he can't imagine that it had been an easy task.
But maybe back then they'd been more willing to abuse magic for their own goals too. ]
Uh. Probably the library. There's a huge one right in the city. We can go together if you want, I... [ Oops. ] I should probably give back the books I borrowed.
[ HE FORGOT... ]

Wait! [ He's still got the hint of laughter in his voice. ] Anna - wait. That was really good, you know.
[ The compliment is genuine, though it might seem forced after the pause and the laughter. That reaction had been more out of surprise than anything else, he's never met a character like Anna. ]
You're really good. I'm glad we met, and that you're okay. [ She's so cheerful and not... cynical... ] I'll catch you later then!

Dear Anna,
I am happy to see that you made it back from Gammon, safe and sound. War is truly a terrible thing, and I can only imagine the horrors you had to go through. I thank you for your service, from the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of Blanc’s citizens. We are truly grateful.
Commander Pinta has informed me of your valiant efforts in the recent battle to protect the Kingdom of Gammon. Gammon is an important ally of the Republic of Blanc, and though a battle is never an enjoyable ordeal, I do hope you enjoyed the sights and celebrations our sister nation has to offer.
But not too much! Gammon is a great place, but Blanc missed you, Anna! I missed you. I thought it might be nice to send you a little gift, which I hope you’ll enjoy.
Warmest regards,
Thierry Toussant
[ Unwrap the box and you will find:
A small magical unmelting ice sculpture of a Greek god. He is quite ripped, and pleasing to behold.
If your eyes happen to wander over to your window, you notice you’re not alone. Wait a minute, is that… Teddy peeking in, watching eagerly as you unwrap your gift? Was it just your imagination? Whether it is or not, he’s already gone! ]

[ And out of nowhere, Anna's carrier will start .... puking?? Out comes a neatly wrapped box. Kija didn't wrap it himself, so it isn't a huge disaster. (Don't worry, the carrier is fine. This is just how the parcel function goes.)
On the inside is a simple dress, in the style of how the people dressed in Kouka Kingdom. The design is less flashy than what he would see at home, but that did seem to suit her. There's a note too, in neat handwriting. ]
Dear Anna,
Happy Birthday, and please enjoy this gift. It is a common style in my country.
Best Wishes,
Kija.
[ He does want to be her friend, and he would give it to her himself if not for the fact that he kind of assumes ... he's going to end up suffering if they meet .... ]
