[Poly Entry 40:] Pure embarrassment

[closetpervert]

[voice;]
[Klarth turned on the audio, since he felt rather embarrassed of the curse over the weekend to face anyone directly at the moment. Though there was something that needed to be addressed.]

A-Ah.. If my behavior over this past weekend has caused anyone trouble, my sincerest apology.

[He lightly coughed into his fist.]

On a more serious note, however, has anyone seen Rita?

Rita...went home...

[Estelle smiles for him after saying that. She's coping with it still, but after speaking with a few people regarding this, it's doing much better.]

[He had been busy and he knew that she often times went off on her own to work on her experiments but...

He managed to return an apologetic smile. He didn't mean to force her to say it of all people...]

I see... Where have my senses gone? [He let out a disappointed sigh, scolding himself.]

How are you doing?

[Honestly, Estelle is really happy to see that Rita had made quite a few friends here. All these people cared about her so much and were concerned when they couldn’t find her. That made Estelle happy. Sure she misses her friend, but all these people miss her too, and may never get the chance to see her again. It’s because of that, she is able to swallow her loneliness and help support her friends whom she made here.]

I’m doing just fine. [Lies. It’s a lie. But she’s okay, she really is okay. ]

How are you doing? [Well, now that he knows Rita went home.]

[Something about the expression on her face told him otherwise as he somberly stared, but he decided to trust her words for now. He knew just how much she meant to her as she did to Rita. The look on the mage's face when she heard of Estelle's leave was much rare and almost unbareable to simply watch her in such sorrow. ]

I'm all right as well... It is for the best and everyone's goal to return home someday.

[Perhaps a bit harsh but the only encouragement he could truly give. He wasn't about to wish her back here of all places]

[firstaid]

Yes, everyone… will return home.

[A sad expression now appears on her face. For a moment she wonders if she would forget everyone if she ever returned home and that answer was… yes. She didn’t want to forget everyone here again. They were all so special to her, even though to her, she just barely met them. But they’re all her friends…

…and Rita has most likely forgotten them too.

She wouldn’t be sad…no…not for herself, she will see Rita again. But she would be sad for everyone else.]

[He managed a weak smile, seeing her now sorrowful look.]

Don't worry. Everything will be all right once you return as well. We're making every effort towards that goal.

[firstaid]

Hopefully, I will return and...

[...never come back here.]

We will find the solution somehow. I have faith that we will.

[She figures it best to remain positive about this. This is a happy thing, right? To have everyone go home to their home worlds. Provided their home worlds are a happy place...

...then what if they're being selfish because there are certain people who don't want to return to their home world? Can they stay here in the City?

So many questions ran through her mind, but she didn't necessarily want to ask them. Not right now.]

[ Tyr doesn't even remember Saturday now... ]

... She left a few weeks ago.

[ Not even going to try to be gentle about it. ]

voice;

[closetpervert]

So I hear... It truly has been that long, huh... Goodness... My mind must be going.

voice;

[stargathering]

[ He shakes his head. ] With everything that happens here, it's easy to overlook thing...

voice;

[closetpervert]

[He looked down at the blastia she left behind and fell silent for a moment.]

I suppose you're right. How are you fairing?

voice;

[stargathering]

[ He went silent for a moment. ]

I'm fine. It's better for her to be back home, so...

voice;

[closetpervert]

It'll certainly be quiet without her around.

[He tried to lighten the mood with a forced chuckle because truly he too was pleased to see she was able to go home.]

voice;

[stargathering]

[ Tyr won't admit that he's not actually happy that she's gone now. He can laugh at Klarth's joke, though. ]

The beach house will stay in one piece, too.

voice;

[closetpervert]

Indeed. [He laughed more.] That fire of hers is something.

voice;

[stargathering]

[ He laughs with him. ] Yeah... Her magic was amazing...

voice;

[closetpervert]

I recall the repairs needed after for the place. Good memories.

voice;

[stargathering]

I remember them, too. It was weird when they had damages that weren't by her.

voice;

[closetpervert]

Haaa... that's a first. What was it from?

voice;

[stargathering]

Oh. There were monsters that made holes in the floor and dropped candy... [ And Rita shot things at them.




and gave him some of that candy as a gift before. He makes a quiet, little "ugh..." sound as he remembers it. ]

voice;

[closetpervert]

[He weakly smiled to that ugh.]

Not so fond memories now I take it.

voice;

[stargathering]

Not really...

I just remembered her birthday gift to me.

voice;

[closetpervert]

[does he want to know?;;]

I... see.. which was?

voice;

[stargathering]

[ Tyr'll tell him anyway. ]

The candy those monsters left...

voice;

[closetpervert]

[yep... that sounds like her all right. He just gave a sigh before it dawned on him.]

Ah, speaking of gift, I've yet to give you one, don't I?

[cuz well... Mirald always took care of the kids' birthdays... and the teaching... and the housework... and, well... anyway.]

voice;

[stargathering]

[ He blinked, not expecting Klarth to bring that up. It was so long ago, he hadn't even thought of it. ]

I... It's fine if you don't. Gifts aren't really that important.
