[ Did Rabbit ever leave? No. They remained near even as other fussed over him or shoved healing things on him. If no one has retrieved his bonk stick, they will be picking it up to give it back though. ]
Ace said you all took a little detour. [ Let's focus on that and see how much Temenos can talk before they give even more away by fussing. ]
[ he is somewhere now, all set up. bonk stick in hand! he's using it like a walking stick now that he's not freely bleeding. he mostly just looks exhausted. ]
...yes. It was very strange. I had wondered if I was going to end up being pulled away, at some point, as the others did.
[ Rabbit will just gracefully keep to his pace. The white of their uniform probably is now stained with Holy Blood or something. ]
Seems like it's a matter of time for everyone then. [ Why couldn't he have gone on a nice one like Axel did? They are also wondering if they should get a leash for Kogi at this rate. ]
While normally I would allow you to go at your pace, we are risking being locked out before we can get you a new change of clothes. I have a feeling you won't want people fussing over you for still looking a mess.
[ She isn't going to touch immediately due to not wanting him to jerk away and injure himself further. ]
A dragon, hm? It's been some time since I've seen one of those.
We'll worry about that later, dear. [ Amazoom is there he can order new ones. She will put her arm around him to support him.
However, she has an inkling it's very important to him. He was happy to have his power back even for a moment and this place has taken quite a bit away. There's a pause before they click their tongue gently.
If people knew just how soft that center really was... ]
If it bothers you that much, I can see about getting it fixed up for you.
[ temenos mutters, but, yeah, it is a little bit more normal and he deeply appreciates not being called out on saying thank you. to the dorms! please he is so tired. ]
[ so, even if he had been banged up, he would've been able to magic it away. he will disappear briefly behind the bathroom door, taking something small with him and leaning the staff of judgement against the wall.
it's slow going, so she can stay and talk. ]
... You can take your mask off, if you'd like. It is just you and I.
Do you miss seeing my face that much? I suppose I can give you something nice to look at for a while.
[ She could only behave for so long. She does take the helmet off and hold it against her side as she turns to face her back to the door to give him privacy even if he closes the door. ]
[ Do they need to check on him? It seems like he's in a more sharing mood, but they know there might be things they shouldn't tread on just yet. While it's good to know he has someone or someones at home to travel with, there is still the trust issues and whatever else he's guarding. ]
Was there any place you would like to travel again to?
...As you can likely imagine, when I grew up, my reading materials were typically those of the library in Flamechurch; that is to say, they were typically of the Sacred Flame's doctrine. It isn't to say that the Pontiff ever limited our reading, per se - rather, that there was a lack of options.
[ the copy of himself had said it. it started with roi. he's on his mind, and it feels like a bramble, like thorns that dig into his chest, that wind up in his throat. it's impossible, to think about the serious weight of the simple phrase, of the grief that temenos has never once touched upon, never allowed himself to think about for more than a day.

...I visited Montwise once or twice before I was an adult; there is a cleric's guild just outside of the city.

[ They do pick up on that slight pause and take note of his words.
They were only there for the copies just long enough to get a new phone background, but didn't hear any of the words or truths spilled out there or on his little skirmish away. They are wondering if something touched on something over the last couple days.
Wang Wu has definitely earned it! She has blood on her outfit for taking care of your holy booty. ]
What a criminal you were sneaking in contraband. [ She is grinning at that, even if he can't see. He can probably up she's teasing. ] Is it the friend that is something of a brother?
[ he's long since finished changing, but, perhaps is now too much of a coward to open the door and talk about this at the same time. this is an olive branch. it's been a very long week. ]
Yes, that's correct. You've seen his handwriting, as well; the book I received was one we studied from in our childhood. [ a pause. ]
[ you know there is something kind of special about two people talking with a door between them. ]
All of those cute little notes and doodles? It's nice to put a name to your co-author. [ Also noticing the was part. That's another path full or brambles that may hurt them both.
Loss. ]
I do wonder what you would make of the library in Spirit Blade Mountain. It's full of books and old scrolls. While it is forbidden for anyone not part of the inner branch, there are ways to get around that.

Week 3, Thursday PreCurfew
Ace said you all took a little detour. [ Let's focus on that and see how much Temenos can talk before they give even more away by fussing. ]
no subject
...yes. It was very strange. I had wondered if I was going to end up being pulled away, at some point, as the others did.
no subject
Seems like it's a matter of time for everyone then. [ Why couldn't he have gone on a nice one like Axel did?
They are also wondering if they should get a leash for Kogi at this rate. ]
How did you come by such injuries?
no subject
...Ah. [ well. ] A dragon? And another monster. It was... [ ... ] ill-advised.
[ avoidable probably. ]
no subject
While normally I would allow you to go at your pace, we are risking being locked out before we can get you a new change of clothes. I have a feeling you won't want people fussing over you for still looking a mess.
[ She isn't going to touch immediately due to not wanting him to jerk away and injure himself further. ]
A dragon, hm? It's been some time since I've seen one of those.
no subject
...My vestments.
[ frowns... he reaches up to touch the torn up fabric with his good hand. weh. for the first time he looks a little bothered. :c ]
no subject
However, she has an inkling it's very important to him. He was happy to have his power back even for a moment and this place has taken quite a bit away. There's a pause before they click their tongue gently.

If it bothers you that much, I can see about getting it fixed up for you.
no subject
...I would prefer that. A tailor, if nothing else. [ mft. but. he will behave and wear a new outfit. ] ... Thank you.
[ a little quieter. ]
no subject
They know what a treat it is to be thanked genuinely and will do them both a favor by not saying anything about it. ]
I do know of quite the talented one. [ Their suits did come from some where. ]
You're lucky I find you quite cute, dearest. [ Her tone is a touch of the usual playfulness. ]
no subject
[ temenos mutters, but, yeah, it is a little bit more normal and he deeply appreciates not being called out on saying thank you. to the dorms! please he is so tired. ]
... I'll change, upstairs.
no subject
[ She teases a bit. To the dorm! ]
Are you sure you don't need a hand?
no subject
[ but it comes with a soft huff of a noise that might be a laugh. ]
...It was not my first dragon, either. The one I fought last was just as obnoxious, and I was at my full capabilities, then.
no subject
Did you come out equally as banged up?
[ They should also get changed but they'll wait until after he's gone. Unless he wants company through the door. ]
no subject
[ so, even if he had been banged up, he would've been able to magic it away. he will disappear briefly behind the bathroom door, taking something small with him and leaning the staff of judgement against the wall.
it's slow going, so she can stay and talk. ]
... You can take your mask off, if you'd like. It is just you and I.

[ She could only behave for so long. She does take the helmet off and hold it against her side as she turns to face her back to the door to give him privacy even if he closes the door. ]
How long ago was that? Your dragon fight.
no subject
[ he clearly does not mean this.
this is slow going, so rabbit will have to wait a little while, but he's going to change. how long ago was that. ]
Not so long. A month or so...? A Tyranodrake. It - [ a beat. ngh. ] - was a bit troublesome: constantly changing armor.
no subject
[ Can't believe they miss curfew and are locked here together. Also is he sure he doesn't need help?
A month or so? ]
Not that long before you arrived here. Seems like you can't ever catch a break.
no subject
[ it was an optional dungeon but you know.
still changing in here tho. ] Some kinder than others. We go where the wind takes us.
no subject
Was there any place you would like to travel again to?
no subject
that, and it's very distracting, as he carefully changes clothes. ]
Hmmm. [ thoughtful. ] ...The library of Montwise. I've been a few times, but it is one of my favorite places in all of Solistia.
no subject
I should have known it would be a place dedicated to knowledge.
[ Just a touch of fondness to her words. ]
no subject
