The story of Sleeping Rappig (open)
WHO: Jade, Peony, Dist (unfortunately).
WHAT: Peony carries an unconscious Jade back to the Inn.
WHERE: Crimson Dragon Inn,
WHEN: Day 20 after the sparring with Dist (yes still backlogging!).
( Once upon a time, there was a fair rappig named Cute!Jade... )

But there he was, standing at the door to their room, greedily listening to the hushed murmur of voices coming from inside.
He...he really, really really shouldn't have. Why he was still standing there, listening...he didn't know. Another stray tear trickled down his face and he sniffed and wiped it away furiously. The nerve of his body to start crying at this age, really...
The scientist felt a strange twinge in his chest as he heard Jade talk. He hadn't heard the name Nebilm in a long, long time. For the past few hours the feeling and the memory had been there, but as an unspoken rule, no one had mentioned it. Even Dist had gathered enough tact not to. He had thought in the midst of this new world perhaps it might be time to leave it behind, just for now...just until...well...he hadn't really thought about it that far ahead...
With the mention of her again all those memories, those years of obsessing, all flooded back. He choked back a sob, slapping a hand over his mouth, completely embarrassed. Why am I crying, he asked himself angrily as he backed away from the door, sniveling loudly. This isn't the time-...nor the place...
Defeated, the 35-year old man wiped his eyes again and squeezed them shut, taking a shallow breath. He then slowly drudged downstairs to the restaurant.
