[Estelle is greatly confused by the message she received. Leaving the animals in her care of all people…it’s like he was sending a suicide note. Of course being mostly unaware of the system here regarding trades and how it works, she wasn’t at all sure what was going on.
One thing that she was sure on was that there was major cause for concern.]
Yuri, what’s going on? Please tell me.
[Though right now she’s not even sure if this message will reach him. If not…she’ll have to go check to see if he’s still in the City.]

[Getting his voice mail of all things only proved to be even more worrisome for her. Biting her bottom lip and chewing it on it a bit, she knew the first place she had to check. No, it would be okay if Yuri went home. It’s for the better, right? She won’t get lonely if both him and Rita are gone. She still has Flynn and the friends she’s made here. Well, it would be best to check there first, right? At least if she does then she will have a bit of finality instead of jumping to a conclusion without any evidence to back it up. While she walked quickly there, it felt like forever before she reached the hall, but as much as she looked around, she couldn’t find his picture. Rita’s was there, but not his. So that is confirmation right there that he was still in the City. Just what exactly happened? Why did he send her that note
( ... )
[She is able to see that he was indeed okay and there didn’t seem to be any noticeable injuries on him, at least from afar. With a sigh of relief, she approaches him with a soft smile on her face.]
Yuri! I’m so happy to see you’re okay. Your message really worried me and you didn’t answer when I tried to contact you, but it seems I was worried over nothing.
[He's relieved as well, glad to see a familiar face. Most of all, he's glad to see her safe. He'd been worried, especially since the last thing he remembered was being on Tarqaron. He didn't want to think that something had backfired.
...her words, though, don't make much sense to him. Message?
Device left in the sand, he makes his way toward her.]
[Well, that is one of the most obvious answers in the world, but she keeps her smile and her composure as she slowly clasps her hands in front of her. How does he not know where this is? A moment of silence and she is able to piece together a few possibilities. Worst case scenario is that he went home and came back without memories, right? That’s rather sad considering he seems to know so many people here, but she was able to rekindle her friendships with friends she had made here when she was apparently here in the past. But still, that message… it was more than disconcerting, and almost throws that theory of hers out the window.]
We’re in the City to be more specific. [There’s a bit of a pause on her part before she speaks up again.] We should return to the house soon. We wouldn’t want Flynn to get worried about us.
[He laughs, thinking that this is just some Oh, Estelle moment. It doesn't connect with anything he remembers. The house? No one had a home but Rita, and Tarqaron made sure to change that. The castle was hardly a house, either.]
Okay, I gathered that much. But which city? Doesn't look anything like Nordopolica or either of the port towns. Not even Zaphias looks this nice on its best day.
[Flynn? Oh, right, he remembers Estelle mentioning him before. Some kinda knight in the Imperial Army. Didn't he get promoted?]
Oh, um, we’re not in our world anymore. [Well, he doesn’t seem to be joking and she doesn’t believe he would take a joke this far either, not that this would be something to joke about even. Her smile turns soft, becoming sympathetic more than anything.]
Unfortunately, we can’t go home or I’m sure we all would have by now. Come with me and I will show you to where we all currently reside.
[She turns and starts to walk towards their place. In a sense, she now understands how him, Rita and Flynn all must have felt when she returned here not remembering anything about this place. Rita was gone and from this little bit of interaction, she believe she can safely assume he has no recollection of anything.
Of course another possibility that comes to mind is that this is a curse. Though she wouldn‘t know that for sure until midnight. Only time would tell…]
[Well, it wasn’t her choice from when she was brought but even she would have liked to have known the outcome of that battle, but part of her believes, even knows, that they did just fine.]
[Wow that's not going to be awkward. Living with the man who practically represents the institution he's come to hate? But hey, if he's Estelle's friend... he can't be all that bad.]
Interesting. Can't say there won't be enough room, at least.

Yo- not around for now, but you know where to find me. And if you don't, leave another message and I'll try to get back to you and all that.

I'm as okay as I can be.
[A blink.]
Where are we, anyway?

[A little hiss when the thought of that makes his head throb. Okay. That's weird. His hand moves up to palm at his temple, an attempt to sooth.]
Well, this is beyond weird. Did Tarqaron or the Adephagos do something we didn't expect?
Reply
Are you okay?
[Then a deep breath as she doesn’t really know how to answer his question at all.]
Unfortunately, I don’t know. I arrived here before we left for Tarqaron, but we had made our plans to defeat the Adephagos and…face Duke.

[Because Yuri and telling people when he's not fine just doesn't happen. He appreciates the healing, though. It always feels so-- warm.]
So you don't remember us totally kicking his ass, huh.

I apologize for not knowing.

[He laughs, places a hand on his hip as he looks at the shape of the house in the distance. Wow-- it looks freaking huge.]
Wow, that's definitely bigger than any inn I remember.

Yes, this is where we all live! You, me, Flynn and…
[Well, there were more when she first arrived, but with Rita gone and …and Sodia… As well as with Mithos…
It’s really just those three?]

Yes…with the Commandant, with Flynn.
[She looks down at her hands as she still has them together, steepling her fingers, fidgeting a little bit. After a moment she looks back up at Yuri.]
There’s nothing wrong with that, is there?
[Yuri should be able to note the very obvious concern and confusion in her voice.]
