[Anyone out for a nice crack-of-dawn morning walk might see Yuan, making his way into the village. He doesn't have any visible injuries but it's obvious he's having trouble walking. Every step is more like a swaying stagger and at times he even has to close his eyes in concentration to make sure he doesn't keel over. He's determined to get to his ( Read more... )

[A crack-of-dawn morning walk, huh? Sounds like something Albert would do in a pod-people alternate future.

In any case, he's walking along when he spots Yuan.]

Finally returned to us, I see.

[Well, at least Albert's somewhat used to seeing him in a bad shape, by now. Yuan still hasn't forgotten his first Malnosso kidnapping. This is actually pretty mild compared to what they did back then.]

How long has it been?

[Albert walks closer as he answers, still taking in Yuan's condition.] Almost two weeks. Several others abducted have returned before you.

How are you feeling?

Two weeks...

[He casts his gaze to the ground for a moment. Somehow, it felt a lot shorter than that. Of course, he can't really remember. Kidnappings tend to leave his head foggy and devoid of proper memories. Well, let's meet Albert's eyes again.]

It could be a lot worse, considering how long I was gone.

[He frowns wryly, recalling other examples of those abducted returning in less-than-pristine condition.]

You've made it this far after returning. Certainly an achievement in itself. [A pause.] Shall I accompany you back to your house?

... The offer is appreciated, but unneeded.

[Which is Yuan's way of saying: "Thanks for offering and being subtle about it"]

[Albert inclines his head in acknowledgment.]

Do you have your journal? If you would like to contact your housemate.

[action] fortunefail July 27 2009, 15:29:49 UTC

I'll contact him in person.

[He does have his journal, though. He'll take it out and give it a small wave, just to prove it.]
