[With everything seeming quiet and peaceful, Cyril slowly wakes up. At first, he doesn't know where he is, but then his vision clears, bit by bit, and he sits up. It's his own room, and he's lying on top of his bed, and there's nobody there but him

[Someone's not so half-paralyzed anymore. And he was totally not lurking around vaguely hoping Cyril'd wake up some time soon.]

[And he sure as hell didn't order some Akuma to contact him when Cyril woke up or anything. So when he kind of appears in Cyril's path it is complete coincidence don't think otherwise.]

Well well, I suppose a 'Good Morning' is in order. [Can't bring himself to say welcome back.]

[itisasillyplace]

Good morning, Tyki! What a pleasant surprise this is. It's rare for you to come by here.

[He smiles cheerily at Tyki, although there's something lackluster about his tone, and a fraction less over-enthusiasm in his movements than usual.]

[cardio_swindle]

Is it? I must be lost. I was on my way to breakfast anyway--I don't suppose you've eaten yet?

[Which is as much of an invitation as he feels like offering. Unless Cyril's difficult. Can't let his brother know he actually cares, that'd be bad form.]

[itisasillyplace]

[He gives Tyki a strange look, briefly, before beaming at him.]

Oh, is that so? I haven't eaten a thing yet today.

[dreamsofnoah]

Papa! I was waiting for you for so long, I was worried!

[Road more or less - no, more, definitely more - flings herself at him, small arms going around his waist and clinging on tightly as she looks up at him with wide, sad eyes. She'd promised the Earl to greet Cyril as soon as he came back, but she'd have done it anyway, request from the Earl or not.]

[There's an odd second where he feels almost worried to see a Road, but that soon disappears. Such a silly idea...]

Road, sweetheart! Whatever happened? Was I late for something? Your Papa is very sorry he forgot.

[dreamsofnoah]

[Road, unfortunately, knows just who it was who has been hurting people that belong to her.

But she's not sure if he's really forgotten it all or if he's just pretending.]

I couldn't find you for a while. [She leaves it open for him to reply to - if he still acts like he doesn't remember being killed, she'll let it go.

Though she's certainly not letting him go.]

[itisasillyplace]

Really? I - wonder why. My head feels so fuzzy today.

[He frowns. The situation he remembers is so absurd, it's quite impossible. And suddenly he's even more grateful for the hug, making sure to wrap his arms firmly around Road.]

[solo_insanity]

[Holding one of those coffee cups in his hands. You know, 'the ones that practically can fit three fourths of a pot, so why bother even pouring it' kinds.

He heard the slight sound of footsteps and just migrated towards it.]

Slept in today?

[itisasillyplace]

Good morning! Mm, so I have. I could almost wonder whether I drank too much last night, but that isn't like me...

[solo_insanity]

There is a first time for everything, you know. Perhaps Road added a little kick to your wine.

[Says the last bit with a very, very slight sour expression.]

[itisasillyplace]

...Has she? [He frowns very slightly, somehow uneasy] I'm sure it's just a little game of hers~
