APPOINTMENTS POST

This post can be used to thread with or get in contact with Richard at any point when he doesn't have a post up! Just comment here (please use the format [Action, June 24th], [Voice, March 5th], etc. to make it clear when the thread is taking place and what type of thread it is) for a thread with him; if it's a continuation of another thread or post, please link that so I remember the context of the thread.

GO NUTS.

[It's true; Richard can't help but feel a tiny rush of pride at the fact that Asbel seems to be taking proper responsibility as the Lord of Lhant. But this isn't really the time or place for him to be dwelling on it, so the praises will have to wait until later.]

If I didn't know better, I would almost say you were blackmailing me, Asbel.

[Asbel was feeling proud of himself, to be honest. Both that he really was starting to become the Lord he hoped he could one day be for his people... And that he was able to say these sorts of things to Richard.

...And then that pride quickly vanishes because of what Richard said.]

Eh? N-no, I wouldn't!

[RICHARD RUINS EVERYTHING you should know this by now, bro. He is a Master Troll.]

That certainly sounded like blackmail to me.

N-no, really, I'd never do that, Richard!

[And then he laughs.]

Hahaha, I got you again! I was only joking.

R-Richard... [Now he's just feeling really frazzled and embarrassed. He thought you were serious.]

[... oh, don't look like that. Y'know how he didn't hug you earlier the way he normally would? Well, he's going to be making up for that right now.]

Don't ever change, Asbel.

I didn't really plan on changing. I like who I've become. [Not that you changed all that much.

Oh, a Richard hug. Well, now this feels more normal. He'll just reciprocate that hug. It's a brohug, man.]

Good, because I like who you've become as well.

[Brohugs are just fine with him, even though there's still a tiny part of him that wishes it could be more.]

[Yeah yeah brohugs are all nice and good and whatnot. But they can't last forever. Eventually, Asbel must break the hug.]

...Has it really only been a few days? [He already heard from Cheria, but he almost can't believe it.]

It has. Does that surprise you? I seem to recall that I was only gone for a few days as well when I returned home.

[Baww but he liked that hug, man. :(]

Well, yeah. But it's a lot harder to really get when I'm the one it's happening to.

I'm sure everything will come back to you soon enough the way it did for me. It didn't take long at all once I'd spoken to a few of the people I knew here.

It's already coming back to me, even now.

Then I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I just hope I don't forget something really important that I should remember.

Such as?

[VALENTINE'S DAY, maybe?]

[No, that's silly, who cares about a holiday like that?]

--Wait, I didn't miss someone's birthday, right?

You mean you forgot all about my birthday?

[Spoilers: his birthday actually isn't for almost three months.]

H-huh? [Oh crap, he didn't really miss his birthday, did he?

Okay, just play it off, Asbel, you got this. You totally got this.]

...No, of course not! Who do you take me for?

That's more like it. I knew you of all people would never forget something like that.

[Trololololol.]

I wouldn't be a very good friend if I did.

[...Wait a minute.]

...Richard, what's today's date?

May 22nd, if my memory serves me.

[Aww, busted. OH WELL, it was fun while it lasted.]

[And now he just gives you this look, Richard.]

I didn't forget your birthday. ...Not this year, at least. [He can't speak for experiences at home.]

[Okay, he can't help but laugh now because that look, Asbel. That look.]

And I'm going to hold you to that in a few months.
