FIFTY souls » return from beyond

[martelandmany]

[If you're anywhere outside or looking out your window at all, you'll spot Martel... With one noticeable difference: Overshadowing her feathered pair is a pair of forest-green wings of the glowing variety (much like those her brother had, back in Aselia). She's flying overhead from the direction of the mountains

[Rydia's passing by the fountain, with a couple of bags of supplies, when Martel's flying form causes her to halt suddenly. She nearly drops those bags, less at Martel's return than the manner of it.]

...Martel!

[martelandmany]

[She'll look up at Rydia's voice for sure, and offer a tired smile.] I hope I'm not interrupting. [Normally if she said this she'd be teasing, but she looks just a little bit too dazed for that to count now. She's still coherent, but slightly off.]

[eidolon_soul]

[Rydia shakes her head immediately, setting the bags down. A smile quickly forms, as does her concern upon getting a better look at Martel.]

Not at all! I heard--I'm glad to see you've returned. Do you want help?

[martelandmany]

Who else had heard? [She hoped it wasn't too widespread.] And... Yes, I think help would be nice.

[eidolon_soul]

[Rydia heads over--bags can wait for later--and offers her hand, ready to help up Martel and be her support for a bit. There's a wince at the question.]

I don't know, but...that horrible man was using your journal. I'm guessing quite a few know, at this point. Let's get you home....

[martelandmany]

Do you know where it is? [She accepts the hand, standing without too much trouble. But it'd be the walking that she'd need help with.] I'm sure he must've thrown it out by now...

[eidolon_soul]

[She shakes her head.]

I didn't get much information out of him, sadly. Maybe he still has it...or tossed it by now.

Hm...do you mind if I warp us over to your house? It would be faster, but I don't want to startle you.

[martelandmany]

That's fine with me, if it's no trouble to you.

[eidolon_soul]

None at all.

[She smiles and then casts Warp, bringing them to the house's entrance.]

I can head with you inside and at least make sure you're comfortable.

[And she moves to do just that, unless there's protest.]

[martelandmany]

I... I'm not certain if Kadaj came here before he found us in the desert. [She's basically apologizing if it's messy. She opens the door now, letting them in. It looks like things are fine, just as she left them, albeit a little dusty.]

[eidolon_soul]

[Rydia smiles as she looks around.]

It doesn't seem that way. Now, where to?

[Basically offering to help her to her room. Rydia wouldn't leave her there to wobble on over out of her own choice.]

[martelandmany]

The couch is fine, actually. I'd like to be out here when Cooro returns. [Allowing her to help, though, either way.]

[eidolon_soul]

[Rydia nods, helping to guide her over to the couch.]

I'm sure he'd like that. Is there anything you want me to get you?
