[Action]

[It's late in the afternoon when Richard awakens in the middle of the forest, clad only in the pair of white pants given to all New Feathers when they arrive. As if that weren't bad enough, it's currently raining, and he's disoriented and confused and why does his back hurt and where is he? There's something strangely familiar about this situation, though. He feels like it's happened before, but his memories are fuzzy and he can't seem to remember anything beyond... beyond...

And then, very slowly, like water trickling through a crack, it begins to come back to him. He's been here before. Twice, in fact, over a year in total, and Asbel and the others are here as well. He needs to find them.

So he'll be making his way through the forest - he remembers enough to follow the river, at least - to the village, feeling decidedly uncomfortable at exposing so much skin (he's royalty, this isn't proper, even if he's done it here before) and spending a few confused moments trying to remember where the clothing store is so that he can retrieve his own clothes.

That accomplished, he sets out for the house... only to realize that he can't remember which house it is. With only a vague memory to guide him, he wanders the streets until one house feels more familiar than the others. Let's just hope he's got this right.

And so it is that Richard opens the door to House 28, soaking wet and still trying to remember everything, but glad to be home.]

[And inside the house he'll find someone who wasn't in Luceti before he left! That's right, Cheria is hard at work in the kitchen, preparing dinner. She's making curry, because Sunday is now officially curry day in the Graces house. ... As is Wednesday. Asbel is very insistent about his curry.

When she hears the door open, she doesn't turn her attention away from the frying pan just yet.]


Sophie, is that you?

[At the sound of that voice, her hand immediately releases the pan's handle. Luckily, it was still standing on the stove, avoiding any freak accidents. She whips around to face him, surprise evident on her features.] Y-your Majesty!

[While she's passed the times where she would sink to her knees, she still lowers her head in what would be a bow. Goodness, why did nobody tell her King Richard was here as well? She could've gone to see him much sooner.]

[Isamu will be sitting at the top of the stairs, should he head that way. He almost doesn't want to get his hopes up, and he'd listened as Richard came in and talked to Cheria.

He wants to run down and smack him. Or hug him. Or something, but... he just sits there.

He's quite clearly been a worried mess. It doesn't help that Raphael's been missing too.]

[She straightens up again, a somewhat anxious smile on her face. It's so strange to run into him here. She saw Richard outside Lhant, just before she came to Luceti, fighting monsters. The real Richard, free from Lambda's influence. And yet she still can't quite get used to it.]

My apolo- I mean... I'm sorry. You know what they say; old habits die hard.

I... just arrived last week. I'm afraid I don't know how long you've been gone. [She didn't even know you were gone in the first place, Richard.] Asbel is still here, as are Sophie, Hubert, Pascal and Sir Isamu.

[He just stares at Richard for several moments before slowly getting to his feet.]

Who the fuck said you were allowed to leave?

[identity profile] ingrate.livejournal.com 2011-05-17 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
You're not leaving again at all, you got that?

Damn right you came back.

[And it looks like it'll be a hug after all.]

[When Richard opens the door, he will find Asbel in the living room.

...Asleep in a chair. It's been a long, dreary day, and the sound of the rain beating against the house has lulled him to sleep.

Then... You were truly sent home? To Efinea? [Because Richard is being vaguely cryptic and she'd like this matter clarified.]

Shut up.

[Isamu just clings a little helplessly.]

There's nothing you could have done.

Six months... [She thinks for a moment.] Sophie, Pascal and Hubert have only been here for about two months, if I'm not mistaken. Were they already here when you left?

If it corresponds at all... [Pascal and Sophie are from the past, but they arrived after Asbel, who is from a time much closer to Cheria's. And if Richard gained six months, who knows how far ahead he is, now?]

[... And now Cheria has the nagging feeling that she's forgetting something. What is she forgett-]

[Gasp!] The stove!

[Hold on, she needs to stir that curry before it burns.]
