[Today is a magical day, Luceti. Azusa has been wondrously confused and amazed by all of the things she's seen around Luceti...but it's her turn. She doesn't remember putting it on, but she's wearing a dress made of rags...and she's cleaning her apartment. Repeatedly. The journal is fortunate enough to pick up her singing just as she goes to make

[The experiment is still going on. And Adell is still wearing that heavy full-plate. But for the moment, he has his normal senses about him. For now, he's out on a late night patrol, when he sees a familiar face run by.]

...Azusa?! Hey!

[...And he feels knightly instincts taking over again...]

What ails you, milady?

[bridal_idol]

Sir Adell!

[Azusa is mostly gone by this point. She danced with Arumat. She'll be slipping in and out of the Cinderella role, though.]

I-I can't speak right now, but since it's you...can you tell me where I am?

[vulcanblazer]

[He moves to more easily speak to her.]

...You are on the outskirts of the southern portion of town. Where are you trying to go? If you desire protection, I will protect you from whatever comes for you.

[bridal_idol]

I...I need to get home, before Stepmother does. I just need more time.

[Azusa hardly looks at Adell. She's looking in the direction of the "ball" which is actually just where she randomly ran into Arumat. And danced with him.]

[vulcanblazer]

...I will see you home to ensure no one will stop you! If you wish, I will carry you there. It must be difficult to walk with a single shoe, milady.

[bridal_idol]

Nay, I couldn't possibly accept such an offer, my fair knight! What if a noblewoman were to be injured on her way home whilst you were attending to the needs of a common girl like myself?

[vulcanblazer]

It is my duty as a knight to help and protect everyone, regardless of class or standing. I would not leave either of you behind!

[He smiles proudly.]

That, is just my style.

[And he extends a hand to her.]

[bridal_idol]

You are a kind knight.

[She extends her hand to him.]

We must make haste, though. It is already past midnight, and Stepmother will be most cross if she discovers I left at all.

[vulcanblazer]

[He bows to her slightly.]

Then we shall tarry no longer!

[And with that, he will gently and carefully lift her into his arms, if she is willing. Once they're ready, Adell begins heading back into the village at a quick pace, heading toward her Community Building.]

[bridal_idol]

O-oh! You weren't joking! ...Thank you, Adell-san!

[She's obviously a little bit flustered--who wouldn't be? Between Ganondorf, Arumat, Van, and Adell...she's surrounded by hunks who for some reason are completely gentlemanly to her. So carried away she is!]

Take care not to lose thine self! If we were to get lost, Stepmother...

[vulcanblazer]

Then I shall accept responsibility for it if I fail to get you home in time!

[He keeps his pace quick.]

And you don't have to thank me, milady Azusa.

[Actually, part of that sounded like Adell slipping out of the Knightly thing for just a moment. He would've helped her anyway, without being a knight. What kind of hero would he be if he didn't help a beautiful damsel in distress, even if it was from something like this?]
