Fourth Page - [Accidental voice]

Aug 03, 2011 23:25

[It's been over two weeks since Cheria was taken by the Malnosso, but at last, her journal is showing signs of life again. There's just one problem. The voice being broadcast through it doesn't entirely sound like Cheria. It's that of a young girl- eleven years old to be exact. She seems to be having trouble breathing, a weak gasp sounding every ( Read more... )

[That voice is decidedly younger than what he's used to, but there's no mistaking it. However, his relief is mixed with worry when he hears that coughing, because that's right, she was ill as a child, wasn't she...?]

Miss Cheria! Where are you?

[Voice] sickly_angel August 4 2011, 17:57:30 UTC

[This person may seem concerned, but the fact that he knows Cheria's name isn't exactly settling her down.]

I'm... Who are you?

[Voice] ledbythewind August 4 2011, 18:01:40 UTC

[Of course she wouldn't recognize him-- he's almost nine years older than he was when they first met. He's no longer a child; his voice doesn't even bear any resemblance to its old childish tone.]

It's Richard, though I suppose I don't sound very much like I did back then.

[Voice] sickly_angel August 4 2011, 18:38:32 UTC

[N-no way. It wasn't just Asbel who got older, but Prince Richard too?! Cheria grabs the journal firmly and holds it up to get a closer look at that picture. He looks so... So... Mature.]

Y-Your Highness! My apologies! [Cough cough.] I didn't- [Cough cough cough.]

[Voice] ledbythewind August 4 2011, 18:50:02 UTC

[... erk, and there goes his title out loud to anyone who might be listening to this. Oh well-- it's not her fault, as she has no idea.]

No, it's all right, but please, just call me Richard. Can you describe where you are to me? I'll come find you as soon as I can figure out where they returned you.

[Voice] sickly_angel August 4 2011, 18:56:15 UTC

[One last cough.] P-please, don't trouble yourself. I can... Asbel said he was coming.

[Voice] ledbythewind August 4 2011, 18:57:10 UTC

Does he know where you are?

[Voice] sickly_angel August 4 2011, 18:59:33 UTC

[She nods firmly.] Mm. He's... on his way.

[Like a knight in shining armor. Cheria can't wait to see him in person.]

[Voice] ledbythewind August 4 2011, 19:06:41 UTC

[Oh Asbel. He'd be EVERYONE'S knight in shining armor if he could.]

Then I'll warn you in advance-- like me, he might not look quite the way you're used to.

[Voice] sickly_angel August 4 2011, 19:18:24 UTC

That's... I already know that. He's older, isn't he?

[Voice] ledbythewind August 4 2011, 19:29:03 UTC

About eight years older, if my calculations of time are correct.

[Voice] sickly_angel August 4 2011, 19:32:57 UTC

Eight years... [That sounds so unreal.]

And you as well?

[Voice] ledbythewind August 4 2011, 19:41:26 UTC

It's closer to nine for me. Let's just say that the passage of time can be a strange thing here and leave it at that.

[Voice] sickly_angel August 4 2011, 19:46:13 UTC

... Is that why I'm not older? [She sounds disappointed. That's because she is disappointed. Her friends get to be older, but she doesn't? Unfair.]

[Voice] ledbythewind August 4 2011, 20:01:44 UTC

You'll be older very soon-- there's no need to worry about that. And you'll be a very pretty young lady when you grow up, that much I can tell you for certain. I'm sure Asbel would agree with me in that respect.

[Voice] sickly_angel August 4 2011, 20:07:31 UTC

[Sputter sputter Richard what are you saying.] R-really? You think so?
