> 11 [Action]

[With people disappearing and getting kidnapped and the like, and mostly because she just wanted to get out of the house for a while and this seemed like a good excuse to be out, Lymle is taking it upon herself to take action in her own weird way

[Mattie sees what you're doing there, Lym, and you'd better not draw anything in his room. He can't exactly get mad at her, though, given that it was her symbols that saved all of their asses in the descent to Nox Obscurus.]

[drawingkay]

[Yup yup, and these are the very same symbols she's drawing now. And if anything, especially since Mattie's a grump, she'll just draw on his door ):]

[13th_captain]

[He's even more grumpy than usual now that his BFF is gone. :( But he'll just stand there and watch her for a moment before saying anything.]

... that's not going to bring him back.

[drawingkay]

[Grumpier than usual indeed ;_; That makes her stop drawing for a moment.]

... I know. This is so when he does come back, we can make sure he stays until we all leave, kay? ... Edgie and Reirei and everyone else, too. [If only she knew that it doesn't work that way.]

[13th_captain]

Making sure someone stays anywhere is an impossibility. Things happen that are beyond our control, and if you think a few drawings are going to change that...

[He won't finish the sentence. He's hurting too, he just doesn't express it in a normal way.]

[drawingkay]

[Now she's staring at the ground. She had a feeling it wouldn't really be able to keep everyone here, but ...]

They're not just drawings, kay ... [That sounds less defiant and more like she's trying to convince herself that there's still a chance of it helping somehow.]

[13th_captain]

[Arumat isn't one to sugarcoat things at all-- case in point, how he broke the news of Eldar's destruction to Faize. The truth is the truth, no matter how much it hurts.]

They might as well be here.

[He knows damn well that his own symbology's power has been lessened; there's no doubt hers has as well.]

[drawingkay]

[Aaaand she falls silent at that. She knows her symbols are weakened; it's been bugging her since she first got to Luceti. She still couldn't help but want to try anyway, but ... well, after a line like that and knowing that it's right, she can't think of anything to say.]

[13th_captain]

... don't forget to put some on all sides of the house.

[drawingkay]

[... she looks over at him for a moment or two before nodding. Good save there, Mattie :|b So with that, she'll finish the last few lines on the symbol she was drawing before shuffling off to go outside.]

[13th_captain]

[He's certainly not going to stop her, but he is going to examine the symbol with a not-entirely-pleased expression on his face once she's gone.]
