- "Love, Actually" -
Hardy and Gustafa were outside the Blue Bar, chatting pleasantly.
"Well, I must say, things have turned better..."
"For what?"
"How so?"
"Well, I don't have to write any more reports on things I hate to write about... such as, those things about Galen and Takakura, or just about Seth himself."
"You write...?"
"I always write documents on my patients..."
"I see... do you still write some up?"
"Yes, but rarely when the specific patient is in a pleasant state."
"Speaking of Seth, where is he? I haven't seen him all day!"
Hardy looked around. "Hmm, you're right. I haven't seen him, either. Do you think he's at his farm?"
"He'd better not be in one of those depressed fits..."
"Should we check on him?"
"Why not?"
They both stood, stretched for a moment's worth, and began their walk down the path.
---
Seth, in fact, wasn't having one of his depressed fit, but another happy fit. He was strolling around his farmlands, trying to calm himself but smiling uncontrollably and muttering to himself.
Hardy and Gustafa came up the hill and saw him. They looked at each other, exchanging confused looks.
"...Seth?" called Hardy. Seth stopped, and slowly turned to face them, scaring them with his wide smile.
"Oh, hi, guys," he said.
Gustafa was appalled. "Whoah! What the hell happened?"
"Um... nothing!" Seth lied quickly.
"Nothing makes you this happy?" Hardy asked. "Spit it out..."
"Erm... can we talk inside?" Seth asked, looking around.
---
"You and Celia... kissed?"
Gustafa smiled. "There's always good in finding a new love..."
"Tell me about it," Seth said. "I haven't felt this way since I fell in love with Muffy..."
"Yes..." Hardy said, frowning at recalling the terrible Blue Bar incident. "Well, at least we know now. Everyone thought you were having a depressed fit when you didn't show up in town..."
"Oh?" Seth asked. "I'd better show up..."
"Oh, no," Gustafa said. "You'd scare everyone with that smile of yours."
Hardy said sharply, "Gustafa..."
"It's perfectly okay," Seth dismissed it with a wave of his hand. "I'd probably scare myself. Besides, no reason to go into town today."
"Yes, well..." Hardy stood. "See you tomorrow, then?"
"I'll be there," Seth said, snapping his fingers.
"Good," Gustafa said. "See ya around, Seth."
"Later..."
---
"So that explains it?"
"Basically..."
"So, he was just walking around his farm smiling awkwardly?"
"Erm... yes..."
"Wow, he really is acting weird lately..."
Hardy rolled his eyes at Nami. "Oh, please. Nami, you don't know the slightest thing about life problems..."
Nami glared at the doctor. "Maybe I do, maybe I don't. What's it to ya?"
Rock came out of the Inn's front door, and noticed the two. He quickly ran over to them.
"Yo, guys! Have you seen—"
"He's wandering around his farm, smiling," Hardy and Nami said in unison.
Rock slowly backed off. "Whoa... okay... I'm gonna go that way now..."
As he walked away, Hardy managed a chuckle.
"That was funny..."
