Four [voice/video]

[falenandawn]

[As awareness returns and grey recedes, Freyjadour finds himself backstage at the draupnir, although he had been leaving work last he remembered. The guard in front of him nods, before walking off without a word, leaving Freyjadour staring after him in confusion, bracelet in hand.

Though that confusion is broken by a rather petulant 'meow' as a rather sulky Charles stares up at him, wanting the shiny bangle she had been hoarding all to herself back but unable to reach it. The kitten whines a bit more, before stalking off with a twitch of her tail, leaving Frey staring after her, too.

The sensation of coming back to himself was decidedly odd, and a relief as well. Was that what the people here had experienced? It wasn’t something he fancied experiencing again, not at all. It put the situation in a bit more perspective, if that was so.

But how long had he been like that, senseless and grey....? He couldn't tell at all, and so he brings up the screen of his bracelet, glad it seems to be working properly.]

I must keep a better watch over my bracelet, it seems. How long has it been.....? It was the 95th day when I left.

Lyon? Are you alright?

[Most of all, though, he's concerned about how Lyon would have taken this.]


I apologize if my disappearance has inconvenienced anyone.

Prince! Where are you? I'll be right there!

Re: Video

[falenandawn]

I'm at the theater..... I am sorry I worried you, Lyon.

Video/Action

[sparkling_eyes]

I'm on my way!

[The video cuts out as Lyon takes off running. She doesn't stop until she reaches the backstage entrance to the theater. Pausing in the doorway for a moment, she takes in the silhouetted figure of the Prince against the stage lights as she catches her breath. And then, wordlessly, she runs over to him, wordlessly wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug as she buries her face into his shoulder.]

Action

[falenandawn]

[He waits for her to speak, awaiting her words, expecting all sorts of worried questions. He wasn't quite expecting the hug when it comes, but he wraps his arms around her nonetheless, frowning slightly as he pats her back.

He had truly worried her, hadn't he.....? If he had kept better track of his bracelet.....]

I am sorry.....

Action

[sparkling_eyes]

[Lyon nods into his shoulder, taking a deep breath and letting it out again as she tries to calm herself down. She'd been worrying herself sick for days over whether he'd find his way back or not, so this is a huge relief. When she finally pulls back, it's clear that she'd been crying a little as she wipes the sides of her eyes.]

Thank goodness... I was so worried.

Re: Action

[falenandawn]

How long have I been gone.....? [He doesn't mention the tears, as always, but he does feel guilty for causing them, as the expression on his face probably showws. He didn't even remember where he had lost his bracelet.... though Charles had given him something of a clue.]

[sparkling_eyes]

Just over a week. I went out looking for you every day.

[falenandawn]

A week.....? That long?

[bloodypocket]

Then you are welcome to resume your duties in the theater.

[... By which he means welcome back.]

Re: video;

[falenandawn]

[What a... warm welcome.]

I am glad to be back. Existing in such a manner is not pleasant at all.

Did you know Charles might have been keeping hold of my bracelet, Eyes?

[Just.. a mild suspicion here. She seemed rather intent on taking it back, after all...]

video;

[bloodypocket]

... No, I did not. [If he were aware of that, he would have seen to it that the bracelet be returned to Frey if he had to check every native himself. It would have spared them all some worry.]

How do you know of this?

Re: video;

[falenandawn]

She tried to take it back from me after it was returned. It is only a suspicion on my part, but she was eyeing my bracelet like a toy.

video;

[bloodypocket]

Or she could very well have been relieved to see you again. [But he wasn't disregarding Freyjadour's claims, Charles did have a habit of being drawn to shining objects.

Though if it really were her doing, he would have to accept full responsibility for what happened to the other man.]

[ voice ]

[integrous]

[ Wait, that name-- ah, so this is.. ]

Hey! Are you Lyon's.. [ how to call this even, give her a moment. ] .. special someone? She was looking for you!

[sparkling_eyes]

Yes. I was really starting to worry after the first few days. But your name was still in my bracelet, so I knew you had to be around somewhere. I know I should have just waited, but it was so frustrating not being able to do anything about it.

[ voice ]

[falenandawn]

....Special someone? [...Huh?]

Are you a friend of hers?

[falenandawn]

I am sorry..... I should have kept a closer eye on my bracelet. [He hated it when he caused her so much trouble....She didn't deserve that kind of stress.]

[sparkling_eyes]

Do you remember what you were doing when you lost it?

[ voice ]

[integrous]

Yeah, that's right! Asahi Yuki, nice to meet you. She was talking about how she was looking for a guy earlier and asked me to help, so that's got to be you, right?

[falenandawn]

I was just leaving work, actually.

Re: [ voice ]

[falenandawn]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Asahi Yuki. [He wasn't quite sure still of the multitude of people who seemed to have family names here.... was he suppose to address her in full....?]

Yes, is it probably me. Thank you so much for helping her.

[ voice ]

[integrous]

Hey, just Asahi is fine! You're going to make me feel old. [ but she laughs amically all the same. ]

Despite, I'm just glad to know you're back. She seemed pretty worried, and she's not the kind of person who should have to be alone.

Re: [ voice ]

[falenandawn]

Asahi, then.

You are correct... I will have to keep a better hold on my bracelet to make sure this does not happen again. [Neither of them did well alone, it seemed.]

Re: video;

[falenandawn]

Perhaps so.... [Maybe he was thinking too much on this... it would take quite a thing for a kitten to hide such an important object from the guards, wouldn't it....?]

video;

[bloodypocket]

Was she with you before you fell into that state? [He had been allowing her to wander around on her own more often the past two weeks, but if that meant she got into this sort of trouble then he would have to keep her under strict supervision for more time.]
