8th Star
[Finally, that horrible forced truth-telling is over. The revelations of the past week have been pretty hard on Lyon, and now all that's left is to think about what she learned and how she's going to treat her family in the future. Miakis she could forgive, but Ken and Omi... she's going to need to give that some thought. After all, her mortal enemy back home is an assassin, and she doesn't hold much love for the profession in general after what Nether Gate did to the royal family.]
[Action; outside 747 Partridge Drive]
[Lyon's musing is interrupted by a sudden delivery from the postman. Judging from last time, she figures it's another package from home. She's hoping it's her weapon, or maybe another Rune, but unfortunately the town has one last trick to play on her before it's done reminding her of assassins.]
Th-this is...!
[As she gets the package open, Lyon stares uncomfortably at its contents for a few moments before drawing out a small glass vial filled with a curious-looking green liquid. She's too stunned to do anything but gaze blankly at it for a minute or so before she balls up her fist like she's going to shatter it on the ground. At the last second, however, she stops.]
I can't believe they sent me this. This has to be some kind of joke.
[Phone; filtered from drones]
Um... I have a question. It might sound a little strange, but please just bear with me. I'm sure all of you have someone very important in your life. Someone you care about more than anything. Maybe a close friend, or a family member... or someone you've sworn to keep safe at all costs.
[Lyon sighs, taking a breath before continuing.]
...Just how far would you go to keep that person safe?
[Action; outside 753 Partridge Drive]
[Lyon needs a few days on her own to think things over, and now that she's no longer in danger of blurting out anything ridiculous to the Prince, she's headed over to his house. She has a pink backpack with her, and is carrying a pillow and a folded up blanket. Smiling a little to herself, she heads up to the front door and knocks.]
Prince? Are you home?
