[Accidental Voice/Action]

[falenansun]

[In the forest is another New Feather wearing the typical sundress female New Feathers are wearing. Her silver hair is loose and unbraided at the moment, but the odd reddish mark on her forehead is definitely visible

[Frey was eating a bag of chips and flipping through the journal when he hears his mother's voice coming from it and freezes mid-bite. How...? What...?]

2/3

[falenandawn]

[He drops the potato chip in his hand in shock, picking up the journal. after a long, long moment, his voice finally starts to work, though a mere whisper.] M-mother...?

[But that tone....]

3/3

[falenandawn]

[Crap. He had to find her, now. Questions could wait.] Mother, where are you?! I'll be right there! wait for me!

[Sorry Miakis, but a frantic prince is going to be rushing out of the house, his bedspread in tow. No time for explanations.]

[Voice]

[falenansun]

[Arshtat looks around when she hears Frey's voice. Now where is that son of hers, she should be able to see him if she could hear his voice, right?

When she speaks for the moment, her voice sounds more normal. She doesn't want one of her children seeing this.] Freyjadour? Where are you?

[And then it switches back to the Rune itself.] Whoever is responsible for this betrayal will pay for this!

[Voice]

[falenandawn]

[Yeah, Frey is panicking. He's running full speed, journal out.] I'm looking for you right now. I'm speaking to you from a communication device that looks like a book. You should have one near you.

[And he's trying very hard to sound as reassuring as possible while his mind is racing.] It'll be ok and I'll be there soon, but I need to know where you are so I can find you. Can you tell me what you see? Mother?

[Voice]

[falenansun]

[Well, if he looks carefully enough at the picture, he can see the tops of some trees in the forest since the journal is lying on the ground. So helpful, right?]

One of my worthless subjects must have removed me from the castle and removed even my clothing from me. They have dared do something no mortal should be permitted to do!

[Voice]

[falenandawn]

[Damn, he'd been heading to the forest anyway. Luckily, all the white will definitely make her easier to see once he finds her.....Right? His tone is soothing, trying to calm her down.]

Mother, please. I'll be there soon, and I have something to cover you up, even. I also swear no one has touched you. I can explain once I find you.

[Voice]

[falenansun]

Do not even try to lie to me!

[Sorry Frey, it's not working, but at least through the journal there isn't any evidence that the Rune is doing more than speaking?]

[Voice]

[falenandawn]

Would I lie to you, mother? [Actually, he has no clue how they get them in new feather clothes, but he hopes it's not done by hand. Soon, he sees a flash of white and he's running towards it, picking up speed when he sees, indeed, it's her, though his heart gives a lurch to see her when he never thought he'd be able to again.] Mother!

[Action]

[falenansun]

[Well, who knows since none of them are exactly awake for that bit, right? Not like the Rune can understand things like Shifting.

And she probably looks strange in that sundress, it just looks out of place on a woman her age since it's more something someone younger would wear. The journal is likely on the ground somewhere, because she hasn't figured out it was doing the talking.

Her voice will be returning to a more normal tone. And since no one is around, Frey's getting a hug.] ...Freyjadour, you're all right.

[Action]

[falenandawn]

[And he'll be hugging her back tightly, draping the blanket over her as he does so, and notably not the least bit embarrassed with such a display of affection like he used to be when she last saw him. She's here, and alive. It's hard to take in, but like heck he‘s not going to hug his mother now.] Mother... O-of course I am.

I'm glad to see you.

[Action]

[falenansun]

[She's glad for the blanket even if she's not going to vocally acknowledge it, to do that would risk the rune taking over again.

She's a bit curious at his easy acceptance of her affection. He is at that age where boys don't want affection from their parents any longer.] It's good you are unhurt. Do you know anything about where we are and who did this? We need to get back to the Sun Palace. And where is Lyon?

[Action]

[falenandawn]

[Frey holds on a second longer, then pulls away a bit reluctantly. It’s best he says this properly.] We're in a place called Luceti. It's... not in Falena, or even in our world, hard as it is to believe. Miakis is here as well. Lyon... is not here.

[Action]

[falenansun]

[It all still makes no sense. She knows very well that Lyon would only not be by the Prince's side if she were dead. Very little else could stop such a devoted girl from her duties.] Then something happened to her? And not our world? That's just impossible. [She takes a deep breath, it sure is a lot to take in all at once.] Is there some shelter nearby? Food and decent clothing would be most welcome since it sounds like this will be a long explanation.

[Action]

[falenandawn]

Lyon is fine, last I saw her. She wasn't brought here with me. I know it seems impossible, but it's very true. [A pause.] We can pick up your clothes on the way to the apartment. I'm sure they've arrived.

[Action]

[falenansun]

We'll talk more when we get to this apartment of yours then. I'll feel better when I have some decent clothes, and a pair of shoes. [And yeah Frey, definitely can't carry your mother, not quite that grown up yet.]
