Better! (For Richard or anyone else who wants to encounter bouncy boy)

[notallworthy]

"Richard!" Tom Jones was barreling through the mansion. "Richard!" He was so very excited. He was better now! All of the feelings and the fears were gone. Well, he could sense them under the surface, he could remember it and it had left its mark on him permanently, but the part that made him crazed and scared was gone.

He had to tell people.

Assuming he is thorough in his search and doesn't get distracted before then, he may find Richard (perhaps surprisingly) out in the grounds. He's stretched under a tree (though not that tree), scandalously jacketless with his sleeves rolled up to the elbow, dozing a bit in the shade with an abandoned book and his jacket beside him.

Tom ran up. "Richard!"

"Hm?" Richard started a bit from his doze, and for just a moment, there was almost something hunted in his face, but it was just a flash and then it was gone. He half smiled as he saw Tom, sitting up. "Good afternoon, Tom."

He skidded to a stop and sat down next to Richard. "I'm well again!"

Terisa watches Tom hurry past calling for his friend. She's so used to letting everything pass her by, but curiousity drives her. She's surprised herself many times since arriving here.

"Sir? What's the hurry?"

"I'm better! I have to tell people!"

[terisaofmorgan]

"Better from what?" She's covering a grin with her hand.

"Well, it isn't the sort of thing that one talks about with ladies. But suffice it to say that I am better."
