Reviving from the ashes.

[thesex_machine]

It's been a lot since he sat quietly outside.
He's toying with a silver little cross, his own cross, rough and used, but still bright.
On the grass, he's sorrounded by... ash. His entire body is covered with ash. His hair, his skin, his clothes are glued with a strange ash.
The only things you can see are the blue of his eyes and the red ribbon tieing

*After having heard that Francis was back to his usual, adult self, he immediately went out looking for him. What he saw when he found him wasn't what he expected, though. Instead of finding an overjoyed, tearful Francis running around saying how much he missed everyone, he found him sitting there, peacefully, covered in what appeared to be ash. He quietly walked over to him, going seemingly unnoticed. When he came to the point of being about a foot behind him, he spoke up*

Francis? Where...Where were you? You had me worried, you bloody bastard. I was beginning to think you'd be a child forever.

*oh, this is definitely his Arthur. He turns to him, with a reassuring smile*

I'm sorry.

[hellabrows]

What happened to you? Why are you covered in ash?

[thesex_machine]

This ash made me come back.
From my travel.

[hellabrows]

Your...travel?

B-But...You were a child! For the past two weeks or so!

Y-You don't remember?!

[thesex_machine]

A... kid?
*stares at Arthur*

N-no I don't remember!

[hellabrows]

Yes! I went to the hospital to see you, and I found you, but you looked about 10. Maybe 9. And then you sorta stayed that way until now.

You don't remember a thing? What do you remember from the past weeks?

[thesex_machine]

...I remember talking with my mum and with Jeanne but *touches his forehead* I do remember something else.

[hellabrows]

What else?

[thesex_machine]

...you playing a guitar?!
*looks confused*

[hellabrows]

Ah. So you do remember a bit.

*smirks*

Heheh. You told me I had a lovely voice.

[thesex_machine]

...did I really?

*coughcough* And you have a lovely voice though *coughcough*

[hellabrows]

Of course. Sometimes I couldn't very well understand you, due to the fact that my Latin's been a bit off for a few centuries, but I recognised most of what you'd said then. Made me feel good after a few stressful weeks, it did.

Come again~?

[thesex_machine]

*can't believe to have been a child for two weeks, but he's pleased to have made Arthur feel better sort of*
Latin...?
I think I'm... completely lost right now, uh.

Lovely voice. Yours. *blushes*

[hellabrows]

Yes. Latin. And you were young enough to have though that the UK was just a place where your pater had wine cultures.

*Smirks* Perhaps I should sing for you sometime~

[thesex_machine]

Hello no. On your land the wine is disgusting.
*stands up rubbing his eyes, really nervous now from not remembering this and that*
Am I loosing my mind?

...you know I love serenades.
